As a regional professional, I can understand why Prof. Kehoe was included in a speculative-themed program which features the (in)famous Kensington Runestone, as she is a respected and accomplished diffusionist anthropologist, archaeologist, and author whose published opinions, even the most controversial ones, are always well founded. Her work on the Kensington Runestone (Kehoe 2005) remains thought provoking, though I personally disagree with her conclusions. Scherz? Ah, he taught advanced plumbing for many years, founded an amateur group to investigate Native American burial mounds (Ancient Earthworks Society), co-authored a book with Burrows (Scherz & Burrows 1992), and has a fine collection of Burrows Cave 'artifacts', and I'd guess it was Scherz's collection which was on display in Wolter's laboratory, but I can't be sure and I ...honestly don't care. If Wolter and the producers of "Holy Grail in America" offered Scherz on-screen time in exchange for displaying his collection of fakes, that's their business.

Dr. James Scherz, Professor of Civil Engineering at the U of Wisconsin has found astounding new evidence encoded in the Great Octagon and Great Circle structures of the Hopewell. They were built using three units of measurement that were also used in ancient Egypt, the "common foot" and finally the "royal foot" all of which can be demonstrated to have been used in the making of these structures. If the interior of the octagon is squared, the square that is formed has a base dimension of 606 feet, which is the same length as the "stade" of ancient Egypt. The angle of the Great Pyramid of Egypt from the base up the slope to the tip is 51.8 degrees, which happens to be the precise angle of the Great Octagon complex when passing a line through its main axis and then measuring to true north.

Its no surprise to me. The Mik Maq used Egyptian characters and their same meaning. It would have been impossible for them to use the same meaning in 1680. At the time the language was undecipherable until 1830.
