The Duc d' Anville thing happened in the 1740s. Carmen Legge's idea of bodies covered with coconut fibres doesn't fit the early C14 dates of the fibres - decades earlier
So the question is does limestone CaCO3 have enough residual quick lime CaO in it to turn a "typhoid plague pit" into mush? And was the stone road built by the French military force to dump bodies in a hole...Thats a lot of bodies. Or was the Island a staging point for a future planned invasion so they built a road. Or was the road already there from other military in the 1600s. How many battles were fought for NS from 1600 to 1750? Discuss.

The Middle Eastern bone was from a female
Thanks for keeping HISTORY interesting 👍👍👍
You are so welcome. We obviously love it ourselves.
Interesting theory that Carmen has about the money pit. It makes a lot of sense.

I mean centuries earlier
We agree. Yet there are still unanswered questions and C-14 dates seem to be all over the place.
A great channel . Thanks . From Prince Edward Island .
Thanks. PEI was involved in all of the early history too.
Yes . i have done plenty of research and my Island heritage goes way back . @@OakIslandPlus-cy9wh

Lots of questions yet to be answered.
Lime is produced when limestone is subjected to extreme heat, changing calcium carbonate to calcium oxide ...

What a lovely and intelligent man Mr Legge is … cheers guys … another good episode ⚔️⚔️⚔️🌎👏👍
Thank you so much. Keep watching.
Something I like is most of the guy's on the guys on the show are close to my age
Yeah, we're a couple of old-timers and feeling it. But this show and research is keeping us going.
I could listen to Carman Legge all-day long.
I know. He's a gem.
