Is it possible to get better pictures? I can't see a "sword" or a "shield" in either of these two images. The "detail" photo just looks like a rock. Am I missing something?
The hilt of the "sword" points NE and the blade points SW on the image. The length of the image follows the fissures in the rock. It is a bit easier to see if you turn tilt your head 45 degrees to the right. I can't see a shiled though. The first thing that jumps to my mind is that the hilt of the sword looks way too big and the blade too short. In my book: a cute story but a hoax. Valentinian(talk) 12:49, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The Westford carving is most definetely a hoax, though that does dot of itself disprove the possibility that Sir Henry Sinclair made an expedition to America. There is, however, no doubt at all that the Sinclair/Templar fleet story is derived from the writings of Fr. Hay, an 18th Century Paris-based romanticist. CSinc.
Henry Sinclair travelled to America in 1398? Where's the evidence? What about the Orkney Manorial Records, don't they place him in Scotland during this period of time? And Henry Sinclair's descendants in America, what do they know about this fantastic piece of earth-shattering history?
@doug weller, why would the addition of the contemporary statue be WP:UNDUE? It is backed up by a source and is relevant to the article. It is a contemporary statue made by the people who maintain the carving as what they believe the carving depicts. Scu ba (talk) 12:51, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not mentioning the hooked X or walker, just that there is a statue at the site and the organization that put it there. Scu ba (talk) 17:26, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
