Thank you for your reply...
A Mooring stone had a metal peg with a metal loop to tie the bow of
the ship. It is off shore and allows the ship to swing freely in a
circle and not become beached in windy or stormy weather. These stones
have holes and are of two type with two different size holes. They are
at or near the waters edge today but would have been underwater when
the water was much higher. The stones with the bigger of the two holes
are older and found on stones higher on the hillside when the water
was even higher.
I am sure that these stones would served for other uses then too.
But why a hole in a stone if one could also just dig a hole in the
ground. These bolders are always about the biggest stone a group of
men could move.
The KRS is one dot and every mooring stone and viking artifact
found in minnesota others. But rather than connecting the dots I have
plotted all the dots and they are mostly in this area of west central
minnesota. A new picture has appeared. The shoreline of the large
islands in a large shallow inland ocean that covers most minnesota and
the dakotas.
If you have looked at the new KRS photo I have posted,,has there
been any dicussion about if it is a map too? Do you see the mark of
SARA on the X,s that the templars used or the extra punch marks on
some letters. That was a way of including another message in a message?
Thanks again
steve
