Hello, William,

No frets about 'distracting' us. The KRS is usually the forefront
subject, but we are all interested in pursuing any and all
cultural inscriptions and evidence for diffusionistic contact
pre-columbus with the rest of the world.

The stone you hold up in the picture is extremely fascinating.
Have you made a tenetive date on it's orginal carving? If so,
how did you ascertain that conclusion? Is there any reason why
you are convinced it is NOT a colonal or Victorian era artifact?
What are the details to how it was found?

Rather than the Sun"dial", is it meant to be just the gnomen to
a very large disc someplace semi-permanent but undiscovered
at this time? Certainly the product of the mold was meant to be
used on land... such a size would be impractical at sea. Has
your research dug up any similar models of that size being used
in Europe or North Africa as examples and origins for the idea to
inspire someone to make such a thing here in N.America?

Bests,

Ms. Chris Patenaude

Most people want to tie it into their own agenda, whether it is
religion or selling magazines.

the KRS stone.
