The new Rangen set Rune stone
1
00:00:16,370 --> 00:00:17,819
Back in December of 1984
2
00:00:17,919 --> 00:00:20,104
a man who had been hunting for Quohog
3
00:00:20,204 --> 00:00:23,637
claims in the project point region of the Narragansett Bay
4
00:00:23,737 --> 00:00:26,698
notice a large stone slab that had strange markings
5
00:00:26,798 --> 00:00:29,089
that had been scratched into its surface
6
00:00:29,189 --> 00:00:31,792
After spending a considerable time attempting
7
00:00:31,892 --> 00:00:33,773
to pull the stone from the region,
8
00:00:33,873 --> 00:00:35,836
but being completely unsuccessful
9
00:00:35,936 --> 00:00:38,211
as the stone weighed more than 2.5 tons
10
00:00:38,311 --> 00:00:40,334
the Quohog quickly reported the slab
11
00:00:40,434 --> 00:00:41,543
to the Rhode Island
12
00:00:41,643 --> 00:00:45,090
Historical Preservation and Heritage Commission Show thereafter
13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,739
This led to a short expedition
14
00:00:47,839 --> 00:00:50,823
by the Historical Preservation and Heritage Commission
15
00:00:50,923 --> 00:00:53,535
that located the stone during the brief period
16
00:00:53,635 --> 00:00:55,814
in which it was visible within low tide
17
00:00:55,914 --> 00:00:58,430
and found that it had originated from up land
18
00:00:58,530 --> 00:01:00,446
and most likely was down in the bay
19
00:01:00,546 --> 00:01:02,150
after extreme events of erosion
20
00:01:02,850 --> 00:01:03,992
The stone, however
21
00:01:04,092 --> 00:01:05,648
was not removed from the bay
22
00:01:05,748 --> 00:01:06,715
during this time
23
00:01:06,815 --> 00:01:10,783
and would later be at the center of an interesting heist during 2012
24
00:01:10,883 --> 00:01:13,309
when the stone disappeared from the waters
25
00:01:13,409 --> 00:01:14,869
after having been stolen
26
00:01:14,969 --> 00:01:18,096
forcing the state attorney General's environmental unit
27
00:01:18,196 --> 00:01:21,622
at Dems Criminal Investigation Unit to spend more than a year
28
00:01:21,722 --> 00:01:24,844
before finally recovering the stone from the stone thief
29
00:01:24,944 --> 00:01:27,000
It would be at this time of recovery
30
00:01:27,100 --> 00:01:28,430
that a strange character
31
00:01:28,530 --> 00:01:29,728
known as Everett Brown
32
00:01:29,828 --> 00:01:30,838
would come forward
33
00:01:30,938 --> 00:01:33,060
claiming that the Rune stone belonged to him
34
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,946
As he and his brother claimed
35
00:01:35,046 --> 00:01:38,110
to have carved the runes into the rock back in 1964
36
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,204
When officials questioned
37
00:01:40,304 --> 00:01:42,060
why the man had not stepped forward
38
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:43,553
after its initial discovery
39
00:01:43,653 --> 00:01:45,677
he dismissed such questions on the grounds
40
00:01:45,777 --> 00:01:48,500
that they had merely forgotten and only recently remembered
41
00:01:49,060 --> 00:01:52,860
Interestingly enough, there's a substantial amount of evidence
42
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,982
that stone predated the supposed carvings of 1964
43
00:01:56,082 --> 00:01:58,590
and that the ruins are legitimate in nature
44
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,568
However, given the conditions of erosion
45
00:02:01,668 --> 00:02:03,732
and lack of further evidence to date,
46
00:02:03,832 --> 00:02:05,816
further information under the theory
47
00:02:05,916 --> 00:02:07,543
surrounding the new Rangen set
48
00:02:07,643 --> 00:02:08,712
Rune stone is limited
49
00:02:08,812 --> 00:02:10,576
and remains a mystery to this day
50
00:02:10,676 --> 00:02:11,769
as to its true origins
51
00:02:16,610 --> 00:02:19,700
The impenetrable Sacsayhuaman walls
52
00:02:20,780 --> 00:02:24,304
Located at the northern outskirts of the city of Cusco, Peru
53
00:02:24,404 --> 00:02:27,387
is an ancient Inca City with walls so impenetrable
54
00:02:27,487 --> 00:02:30,329
built atop difficult maneuver mountainous regions
55
00:02:30,429 --> 00:02:32,843
that archaeologists have often had trouble
56
00:02:32,943 --> 00:02:35,313
trying to explain the creation of the city
57
00:02:35,413 --> 00:02:38,400
and the ancient building methods used for its creation
58
00:02:39,090 --> 00:02:41,211
The site has often been referred to
59
00:02:41,311 --> 00:02:43,415
as an example of cyclopian masonry
60
00:02:43,515 --> 00:02:45,830
named after the ancient Greek mythology
61
00:02:45,930 --> 00:02:47,472
involving the Cyclops race
62
00:02:47,572 --> 00:02:51,277
that supposedly built massive and impenetrable structures by hand
63
00:02:51,377 --> 00:02:53,410
without the use of mortar of any kind.
64
00:02:54,740 --> 00:02:56,152
The Sacsayhuaman wall
65
00:02:56,252 --> 00:02:58,977
appears to have been built in the same way
66
00:02:59,077 --> 00:03:00,731
utilizing massive stones
67
00:03:00,831 --> 00:03:03,915
each of which weighing more than 128 metric tons
68
00:03:04,015 --> 00:03:07,606
with the largest stone weighing more than 200 metric tons
69
00:03:07,706 --> 00:03:10,020
without the use of mortar of any kind
70
00:03:10,610 --> 00:03:12,477
When the site was first visited
71
00:03:12,577 --> 00:03:15,220
by the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro
72
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,730
he described the location as the following
73
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,512
On top of a hill
74
00:03:19,612 --> 00:03:21,577
the Inca had a very strong fort
75
00:03:21,677 --> 00:03:24,176
surrounding with masonry walls of stones
76
00:03:24,276 --> 00:03:26,208
and having two very high towers
77
00:03:26,308 --> 00:03:28,396
and in the lower part of this wall
78
00:03:28,496 --> 00:03:30,611
there were stone so large and thick
79
00:03:30,711 --> 00:03:32,202
that it seemed impossible
80
00:03:32,302 --> 00:03:34,840
that human hands could have set them in place.
81
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,560
The stones were so close together
82
00:03:37,660 --> 00:03:40,092
and so well fitted that the point of a pin
83
00:03:40,192 --> 00:03:42,920
could not have been inserted in one of the joints
84
00:03:43,700 --> 00:03:46,442
Additional text described that the compound
85
00:03:46,542 --> 00:03:48,777
was occupied with a number of rooms
86
00:03:48,877 --> 00:03:50,237
that were filled with
87
00:03:50,337 --> 00:03:54,628
arms, lances, arrows, darts, clubs, bucklers, and large oblong shields
88
00:03:54,728 --> 00:03:56,328
which led many to believe
89
00:03:56,428 --> 00:04:00,221
that the site was still being occupied by a number of natives
90
00:04:00,321 --> 00:04:01,718
throughout the region
91
00:04:01,818 --> 00:04:02,662
Oddly enough
92
00:04:02,762 --> 00:04:07,000
archaeological evidence today shows that the site had not been lived in
93
00:04:07,100 --> 00:04:08,288
since roughly 900CE
94
00:04:08,388 --> 00:04:10,257
and that the remains of pottery
95
00:04:10,357 --> 00:04:12,121
and other goods were far older
96
00:04:12,221 --> 00:04:14,170
than anyone had previously realized
97
00:04:18,940 --> 00:04:21,829
depictions of ancient Egyptian giants
98
00:04:22,970 --> 00:04:23,797
Back in 1901
99
00:04:23,897 --> 00:04:28,703
archaeologists discovered the remains of the ancient Egyptian King's Son Act
100
00:04:28,803 --> 00:04:30,749
of whom was the ruling pharaoh
101
00:04:30,849 --> 00:04:33,026
during the third dynasty of Egypt
102
00:04:33,126 --> 00:04:36,447
and was often regarded in ancient Egyptian depictions
103
00:04:36,547 --> 00:04:40,109
as being one of the single most powerful Egyptian Pharaohs
104
00:04:40,209 --> 00:04:41,920
to have ever walked the earth
105
00:04:42,530 --> 00:04:45,547
It was this power that often saw King's Son Act
106
00:04:45,647 --> 00:04:48,358
depicted roughly 7 times larger than others
107
00:04:48,458 --> 00:04:50,700
when portrayed on ancient hieroglyphs
108
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,843
Archaeologists had often believed
109
00:04:53,943 --> 00:04:56,855
that the more powerful a King's influence was
110
00:04:56,955 --> 00:04:58,570
the larger he was depicted
111
00:04:58,670 --> 00:04:59,898
and so often argued
112
00:04:59,998 --> 00:05:01,995
that the size of his hieroglyphs
113
00:05:02,095 --> 00:05:04,528
were not indicative of his actual height
114
00:05:04,628 --> 00:05:07,080
and was more a representation of his power
115
00:05:07,630 --> 00:05:10,322
It was not until his remains were discovered
116
00:05:10,422 --> 00:05:12,735
that the theory was put into question
117
00:05:12,835 --> 00:05:13,363
however
118
00:05:13,463 --> 00:05:17,865
as the skeletal structure and size of the ancient king showed Egyptologists
119
00:05:17,965 --> 00:05:21,630
that the ancient King's Son Act was actually a victim of gigantism
120
00:05:22,500 --> 00:05:24,521
Gigantism in the scientific world
121
00:05:24,621 --> 00:05:26,395
refers to a special condition
122
00:05:26,495 --> 00:05:30,167
in which an individual experiences is excessive growth hormone
123
00:05:30,267 --> 00:05:31,566
during their childhood
124
00:05:31,666 --> 00:05:33,344
usually caused by an adenoma
125
00:05:33,444 --> 00:05:35,797
known as a tumor on the pituitary gland
126
00:05:35,897 --> 00:05:36,976
In the modern day
127
00:05:37,076 --> 00:05:39,588
this has led to individuals ranging in height
128
00:05:39,688 --> 00:05:41,973
from 7 feet to an incredible 9 feet tall
129
00:05:42,073 --> 00:05:45,380
The largest recorded height only recently made in 1940
130
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,238
Another interesting fact to look at
131
00:05:48,338 --> 00:05:51,092
is the depiction of the builders of the pyramids
132
00:05:51,192 --> 00:05:53,059
in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics
133
00:05:53,159 --> 00:05:55,827
It is a common fact known amongst Egyptologists
134
00:05:55,927 --> 00:05:58,061
that the ruling class of ancient Egypt
135
00:05:58,161 --> 00:06:02,219
was often depicted as two to three times the size of the average population
136
00:06:02,790 --> 00:06:04,081
This is believed to be
137
00:06:04,181 --> 00:06:06,244
due to the importance of the figure
138
00:06:06,344 --> 00:06:10,383
and so it was a requirement to depict the ruling class in such a manner
139
00:06:10,483 --> 00:06:10,975
However
140
00:06:11,075 --> 00:06:15,398
it could be that these depictions were far more accurate than previously known
141
00:06:15,498 --> 00:06:19,180
and the ruling class of Egypt could have been advanced race of giants
142
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:20,801
Back in 820 AD
143
00:06:20,901 --> 00:06:22,831
the Sultan El Rashid Al Mamun
144
00:06:22,931 --> 00:06:25,159
dedicated to open the Great Pyramid
145
00:06:25,259 --> 00:06:26,685
upon which he was told
146
00:06:26,785 --> 00:06:29,492
that the structure had been built by giants
147
00:06:29,592 --> 00:06:31,787
who were referred to as the shed eye
148
00:06:31,887 --> 00:06:34,718
which roughly translated to superhuman beings
149
00:06:34,818 --> 00:06:36,652
and that within these pyramids
150
00:06:36,752 --> 00:06:40,260
they had stored a great treasure beyond the knowledge of man
151
00:06:41,130 --> 00:06:43,603
Given these strange discoveries of gigantism
152
00:06:43,703 --> 00:06:47,602
that researchers are only now beginning to understand in the modern day
153
00:06:47,702 --> 00:06:49,025
there are many wondering
154
00:06:49,125 --> 00:06:52,894
if the ancient depictions of giants from the past could have been true
155
00:06:52,994 --> 00:06:56,437
Depictions of creatures often seen as strange and possessing power
156
00:06:56,537 --> 00:06:58,390
that may not have been entirely human
157
00:07:03,310 --> 00:07:04,711
The Newport Tower
158
00:07:04,811 --> 00:07:05,670
Rhode Island
159
00:07:06,870 --> 00:07:09,520
Found in the Toro Park located in Newport, RI
160
00:07:09,620 --> 00:07:12,430
there stands the remains of an old stone windmill
161
00:07:12,530 --> 00:07:15,609
that was once used as a major ammunition storage depot
162
00:07:15,709 --> 00:07:17,827
during the American Revolutionary War
163
00:07:17,927 --> 00:07:21,644
and stands as a symbol in the modern day of American independence
164
00:07:21,744 --> 00:07:26,102
Although many might dismiss it as another historical site of American history
165
00:07:26,202 --> 00:07:29,376
the tower itself has been at the center of intense debate
166
00:07:29,476 --> 00:07:30,722
relative to the reveal
167
00:07:30,822 --> 00:07:32,641
that its construction is believed
168
00:07:32,741 --> 00:07:35,583
to have predated the European colonization of the area
169
00:07:35,683 --> 00:07:38,900
and have been built by pre-Columbian Transoceanic Contacts
170
00:07:39,890 --> 00:07:41,224
Back in the year 1837
171
00:07:41,324 --> 00:07:44,729
a Danish archaeologist by the name of Karl Christian Rough
172
00:07:44,829 --> 00:07:46,895
and believed that the Newport Tower
173
00:07:46,995 --> 00:07:49,592
actually predated any of the European colonies
174
00:07:49,692 --> 00:07:51,684
that were established in the area
175
00:07:51,784 --> 00:07:53,250
and that it was evidenced
176
00:07:53,350 --> 00:07:55,803
that previously believed Nordic expeditions
177
00:07:55,903 --> 00:07:57,988
that may have passed through the area
178
00:07:58,088 --> 00:08:00,659
had built the tower not to serve as a windmill
179
00:08:00,759 --> 00:08:02,159
but as an old Nordic church.
180
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:03,537
Additionally
181
00:08:03,637 --> 00:08:07,202
an archaeologist by the name of Philip Ainsworth means hypothesized
182
00:08:07,302 --> 00:08:10,900
that the structure had been built between the 11th and 14th century
183
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,460
Given its construction style
184
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,392
and that the existence of fireplaces throughout the tower showed evidence
185
00:08:16,492 --> 00:08:18,850
that the original purpose of the construction
186
00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:20,972
could not have been used for a windmill
187
00:08:21,072 --> 00:08:23,254
as the flamer would have been too flammable
188
00:08:23,354 --> 00:08:26,230
for the existence of fireplaces throughout its construction
189
00:08:27,350 --> 00:08:28,049
Unfortunately
190
00:08:28,149 --> 00:08:30,119
there's no evidence of the structure
191
00:08:30,219 --> 00:08:32,429
having been used as a church or windmill
192
00:08:32,529 --> 00:08:35,586
and the Nordic origins of the tower are still under debate
193
00:08:35,686 --> 00:08:38,850
as no concrete evidence for either theory has been established
194
00:08:43,750 --> 00:08:44,880
The Westford Knight
195
00:08:45,950 --> 00:08:46,809
Back in 1873
196
00:08:46,909 --> 00:08:51,268
in a printed edition of the Gazzetta of Massachusetts was a lone article
197
00:08:51,368 --> 00:08:53,318
detailing a strange carved rock
198
00:08:53,418 --> 00:08:56,137
that at the time of the article was believed
199
00:08:56,237 --> 00:08:59,280
to have been made by a local native American tribe
200
00:08:59,380 --> 00:09:01,768
As the impressions of the rock predated any known
201
00:09:01,868 --> 00:09:03,535
Post-Columbian Trans-Atlantic Contact people
202
00:09:05,950 --> 00:09:07,334
It was not until 1954
203
00:09:07,434 --> 00:09:11,457
when the President of the Archaeological Society of Connecticut
204
00:09:11,557 --> 00:09:13,500
a man by the name of Frank Glynn
205
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,402
visited the carved rock
206
00:09:15,502 --> 00:09:17,838
and began to notice additional impressions
207
00:09:17,938 --> 00:09:21,077
and indentations in the rock that seemed to match a sword
208
00:09:21,177 --> 00:09:22,620
and shield of European origin
209
00:09:23,530 --> 00:09:24,687
After discussing this
210
00:09:24,787 --> 00:09:27,293
finding with a man by the name of TC Lethbridge
211
00:09:27,393 --> 00:09:29,357
surrounding a theory of Nordic people
212
00:09:29,457 --> 00:09:30,989
having once possibly ventured
213
00:09:31,089 --> 00:09:32,009
through the region
214
00:09:32,109 --> 00:09:34,117
the two archaeological experts believed
215
00:09:34,217 --> 00:09:37,680
that the carvings in the rock were evidence of such Nordic expeditions
216
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:39,668
Interestingly enough
217
00:09:39,768 --> 00:09:40,251
however
218
00:09:40,351 --> 00:09:42,540
Lethbridge would then visit the carvings
219
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,540
and claimed that the figure more accurately resembled a medieval knight
220
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:47,678
from the 14th century
221
00:09:47,778 --> 00:09:51,504
and that the sword carving on the rock was not that of a Nordic sword
222
00:09:51,604 --> 00:09:54,519
but rather that of a hand and a half wheel pommel sword
223
00:09:54,619 --> 00:09:57,330
of which was common in the 14th century in North Britain
224
00:09:57,980 --> 00:09:59,546
It was after this discovery
225
00:09:59,646 --> 00:10:02,400
that the rock would be named the Westford Knight
226
00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:05,980
named after the town of Westford, MA, where the carvings resided
