Jeff , "Nolan's Cross" and the "Stone Triangle" have one unique thing in common with one another , they each are shaped like Navigational Devices used by Sea Mariners of the past , Nolan's Cross is shaped like a "Cross- staff" outlined in boulders , and the Stone Triangle is shaped like a " Sextant" outlined with stones ... The "Cross-staff" was first described in 1342 by Jewish philosopher and scientist Levi ben Gerson, and was originally used for astronomical and surveying purposes... it became a mariner's navigational instrument in the 16th century, and was fully developed for use at sea by the mid-17th century. The cross staff was not affected by pitching decks and high winds like other instruments, such as the quadrant and astrolabe ... the navigator would hold the bottom of the staff to one eye and slide the crossbar until the top end of the crossbar lined up with a star or the sun, and the bottom end of the crossbar lined up with the horizon. The navigator could then read the angle off the staff , calculate the distance to plot their location , The cross staff could measure angles between 10° and 90°... The "Stone Triangle" on the south shore of the money pit , appears to be the outline of a "sextant" Outlined with stones .. Like a sextant , it has a triangular top , a radius at the bottom and a "degree indicating arm" connected to the top of the triangle of the Stone Sextant , and running all the way down to the radius at the bottom of the stone sextant to indicate a specific degree... One of the Golden Rules of Geometry ; "Each side of an Equilateral Triangle (large or small) has a 'Arc Length' of 120 degrees" ...this can be proven by drawing a complete circle (360 degrees) around an equilateral triangle , touching all three points of the triangle, creating three equal segments of the circle, each side of the equilateral triangle is equal to 1/3 of a circle, which means that each side of the triangle has an arc length of 120 degrees... The radius at the bottom of the stone triangle equals 120 degrees ... The degree arm of the stone sextant ,(the inner line of stones) points to a specific degree on the bottom radius of the stone sextant , @ 7 degrees left of center ...the radius is read right to left (clockwise) the degree range of the bottom radius are 0 (zero) to 120 degrees, the center of the bottom radius is 60 degrees...7 degrees left of center would be pinpointing 67 degrees ...
Jeff , The medieval Christian meaning of the ⊙ symbol , the Circle represents the "Mappa Mundi", and the central point represents the "Umbilicus Mundi", the symbol of medieval Christianity simply means "Jerusalem is the navel/center of the world"... In medieval times, Christians believed that Jerusalem was the center of the world, or "Umbilicus Mundi" in Latin and "Omphalos" in Greek. This idea was represented in medieval maps, such as the "Psalter Mappa Mundi", the "Ebstorf Mappa Mundi" , the "Hereford Mappa Mundi" , which depicts the world as a circle with Jerusalem at its center... The idea of Jerusalem as the center of the world is rooted in the Bible, with the "Prophet Ezekiel" referring to Israel, and by extension Jerusalem, as "the center of the earth" in Ezekiel 5 : 5. , 38 :12 . , The first-century Jewish historian “Flavius Josephus” also used the same term in his Greek writings... In the Middle Ages, from the 5th to the 15th century, strong religious influences led mapmakers to place Jerusalem exactly at the center of the world, according to biblical descriptions... The meaning of the Christian circle with a center point "⊙" symbol ~ The circle represents the medieval Christian Mappa Mundi, "the world", and the center point represents "Jerusalem", the Umbilicus Mundi, "the navel of the world "... the symbol's meaning is as true today as it was in medieval times, "Jerusalem is Christianity's navel of the world ", the most Holy , Spiritual Center of the Christian World...
I'm curious if they've tested the swamp for the heck of it. Not drilled, just took a general sample to see if there's anything in there for g.p. Did they ever answer the "dump truck" question? Thanks again for the interesting guests and topics gang!👍
Yes they did. Ian said that he was asked if the gold content would be more like a few coins worth or more like a dump truck load, he said it wasn't a few coins worth so it would have to be more like a dump truck load. The production company edited out the full question.
@@Jfree906thanks for answering, I must've missed it so I'll watch it again. Did you ever hear if they did try testing the swamp for precious metals? I'd be interested to see if they did get any positive readings and if they were connected with all of the different water passages down there.
The Stone Road went not only down the right side or east side of the swamp, it also went to Smith's Cove. A dock was built there two feet above high tide. It was built in 1304AD not in the 12th Century.
This is still the beginning. Yall do realize when they find something it becomes a flat out archeological recovery. Which I'm in favor of. Thanks for the show jfree.

How did I miss this show…😂
Not sure but I really enjoyed it. Hope you did as well.

Good news for Marty and Rick. Price of gold is going up fast!
As if they need money!
right!?

I think it's more frustrating to know there is something down there but with all the drilling, THEY CAN'T FIND IT!!😂 That felt better.
Is it because the gold is being down there so long like thousands of years
Hey Jeff!
This is still the beginning. Yall do realize when they find something it becomes a flat out archeological recovery. Which I'm in favor of. Thanks for the show jfree.
Our pleasure. Thanks for watching!
