Talk:Westford Knight

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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)

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.
