Synopsis

This book details the most in-depth and exhaustive investigation into what is arguably the most controversial historical artifact ever discovered in North America. The Kensington Rune Stone has been the subject of passionate debate over its authenticity since it was discovered in the roots of a tree near Kensington, Minnesota, by Olof Ohman in 1898. Through the presentation of compelling new evidence this book answers the many nagging questions that have puzzled investigators for the over 100 years. Much of this new evidence is truly startling and has led to the understanding of not only who carved the stone, but where they came from and why they came to North America. Co-authors geologist Scott Wolter and engineer Richard Nielsen present the evidence of their collective 25 years of research on the artifact. The results of their research present a compelling and convincing case.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Forensic geologist Scott Wolter, best known as the host of History Channel's hit show "America Unearthed", which follows him on his quest to uncover the truth behind controversial historic artifacts and sites found throughout North America, and beyond. He also co-hosted History's "Pirate Treasure of the Knights Templar" about late 17th Century pirate shipwrecks, Freemasons, and the Knights Templar. Scott is also the author of several books including "Akhenaten to the Founding Fathers: The Mysteries of the Hooked X" and "The Hooked X: Key to the Secret History of North America." Together these books cover the story of his continuing research and resulting discoveries made over the past 18 years, beginning with his on-going quest to uncover the mysteries of the controversial Kensington Rune Stone he examined from 2000 thru 2005. The Kensington Rune Stone is a medieval document carved in rock which Scott proposed is a land claim, carved in Minnesota in 1362, by a party of Templar Knights. Scott graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Geology and Earth Science from the University of Minnesota-Duluth in 1982. Professionally, Scott, a forensic geologist, has worked as a petrographer since 1985. In 1990, he founded American Petrographic Services and continues to serve as its President. He has been the principal petrographer in more than 9,000 material investigations throughout the world, including the evaluation of fire-damaged concrete from the Pentagon following the attacks of September 11, 2001.
