The researchers are basing their claims on a number of Roman discoveries in Oak Island...
As well as the stone, they found carved stones on Oak Island also 'possess a language from the ancient Levant' according to Pulitzer.
Other findings include a Roman legionnaire's whistle found on Oak Island in 1901, a Roman shield 'boss' and a small Roman head sculpture found in Mexico City in 1933.
Another clue, in his report, is the presence of an invasive species of plant which was once used by Romans...
'The ceremonial sword came out of that shipwreck,' he told The Boston Standard. 'It is one incredible Roman artefact.'
He bases this on studies of his the artefacts metallic properties which match those of other ancient Roman artefacts.
'It has the same arsenic and lead signature in it. We've been able to test this sword against another one like it and it matches,' he said.
Pulitzer's report also details a number of Mi'kmaq carved images by indigenous people drawn on cave walls in Nova Scotia.
Some of these images show what Pulitzer believes to be Roman legionnaires.

Gold Carthage coins have also been discovered on the mainland near Oak Island.

The crusts were used to build those wood platforms every ten feet down in the Money Pit.
I like the brothers, but wish that the History Channel were not involved in any way.
TY!
TY!
Yes, the Romans used iron and steel weapons, at least in historical times.
Bronze ones would have been ceremonial or decorative objects, which is possible.
This doesn’t look like a Roman object especially. It looks like a Hellenistic (late Greek) inspired thing, which could be Roman or could be a lot of other things from around the Mediterranean. Or it could have been someones 19th century souvenir from a trip to Europe.
I believe they were bronze prior to the discovery of steel...same for the Egyptians et al.
Alas, I agree. I’m drawn to these shows, most recently Expeditions Unknown on Travel Channel. Unfortunately, the answer to “Is this the long-lost....” is always “no.”
You are close to discovering my secret to enjoying television shows.
Take Mad Men, for example. Half of Mad Men is a soap opera. Keep your finger on the FF button, and whenever the characters are shown in a romantic situation, usually outside of work, fast forward until they are back in the office. Another good indicator of boring storyline is the appearance of a wife or child. Fast forward that sucker. And flashbacks? FAST FORWARD.
What you end up with is a fascinating show about an ad agency in the 60s.
[[the answer to “Is this the long-lost....†is always “no.â€]]
Lol- exactly- They just love toying with people’s emotions- “Is this a long lost” (Everyone gets excited thinking it could be) then “Oops, no, We guess not” (Everyone deflates In disappointment)
[[I’m drawn to these shows,]]
Me too- like a moth to flame- it’s the adventurer explorer in me-
Yes, indeed. I remember being enthralled with the story when I was a kid in the 1970s. I had a subscription to a magazine that brought all kinds of neat and sci-fi stories into my life. Can't recall the name of it, but there was a story on Oak Island in there (this would be later 1970s). It's fun having read that story about the elder Mr. Blankenship and his work at the time, and seeing him now.
But what I want to know is "What Plant?"
“... Oak Island ‘treasure’ is 100 percent the amount of jokes at the expense of people who look for it,...”
That’s just what They want you to think. And, this is one of the special circumstances where They are in league with Them.
So, we’ve got us a double whammy obfuscation propaganda campaign of disinterest!
What we’ll find, if we stick with it, is that the Free Masons pre-date the Templars by several thousand years and it’s all. their. fault. or something like that.
They did find something significant this week and they glossed over it. Those rocks that they took from the concrete in the old museum were very telling. One piece had a hooked X.
The Hooked X is a secret symbol first found on an inscribed slab of rock, dated 1362, unearthed by a farmer in Minnesota in 1898.
The key unlocking this information is the mysterious “hooked X,†which not only appears on the Kensington Rune Stone, but among several other runic texts in Europe and pre-Columbian North America. The hooked X symbol is an important coded runic symbol likely created by Cistercian monks. The ‘X’ is symbolic of the allegorical representation of the duality and balance of man and woman, and heaven and earth. The ‘hook’ in the X is symbolic of the child or offspring, representative of the continuation and perpetuation of the ‘Goddess’ ideology through common bloodlines and thought.â€
The Oak Island treasure is so obviously a runaway legend...
Two kids bored out of their minds, 200 years ago.
They see some marks on the limb of an oak tree, looks like block and tackle was once there.
A small apparent depression in the ground under the limb looks like what remains of a large hole that was filled in.
Okay, in the 1960s one of the treasure hunters used earthmoving equipment to gouge out a huge open-pit hole in the island down to great depth, found shredded timbers — not unlike the ice-age strata in colder climates — and not one other danged thing suggestive of treasure, tunnels, etc.
So, the ‘technology’ used by the alleged people hiding the alleged two million British pounds of treasure must have been really advanced, some really advanced engineering must have been involved. Coconut fiber, tunnels, a self-flooding booby trap that still works, the skeleton of a slave still in chains in an underground room...
That’s why they originally used the limb of an oak tree that couldn’t have been much more than a couple of hundred years old when the kids dreamed up this fantasy — because they were so advanced.
Someone wanted to sell the island, which is basically worth squat. “It’s such-and-such number of acres, has water, trees, grazing, oh, and there’s a two million British pound treasure over that way somewhere, also we get a good yield off the grain field, and we have good proximity to-” “Wait, back up. Did you say treasure?” ****ing realtors, they’re the same everywhere.
I think it is possible that Phoenicians, Romans, and Greeks made it to the New World. Probably would have been a one way trip tho.
That’s actually good news.
The Italians owe reparations to the Native Americans, and not the US.
We’re off the hook.
I’m starting to like this Social Justice baloney.
There has got to be forty minutes of BS in that hour show.
I think, like others have pointed out to me, that this must be ceremonial. I'm pretty sure the Romans had steel and iron for their weapons during their times.
Trick or Treat, Roman style.
