Scott Wolter is back, this time about the Sinclair journals. Jason Colavito writes:
I don’t want to beat a dead horse by continuing to examine the case of the so-called Sinclair journals, but I am rather perplexed by some of the claims that Scott Wolter is making for them, and I shudder with dread at the upcoming discussion of more Templar “secrets” Wolter promises for “the coming days.” On his blog, Wolter replied to questions from the regular reader of this blog who posts under the name “An Anonymous Nerd” with some baffling claims revolving around the question of the Templar interest in Jerusalem vs. their supposed centuries of secret missions to the middle of America:
Of course they went there for a reason, it is clearly stated in the journals which you obviously have not read yet. It is also obvious Earl Henry wrote his entries as it was his obligation that becomes apparent upon reading them. Fugitive Templars that survived after 1307 and fled to Scotland were protected by the dominant clans after serving in Bannockburn. However, since they had been outlawed the order began to evolve into something different. For example, celibacy demanded by the Church was no longer necessary and to continue they had to procreate. ...

So... they're starting with the position that anything they find will be complete tosh, even stuff that's true?The Edinburgh Skeptics Society are producing a daily sceptical fact of the day on Facebook. Today it is about Rosslyn Chapel. They set out some of the myths and stories and then cut through it all with an insight that has never been used before and will really stick it to the Da Vinci Code crowd “Of course all of this weird history is bunk”. Glad we have such intellects and powerful rhetorical scientific arguments being put forward!

Wolter is back again, this time hunting evidence of Templars in cave graffiti.
Two different correspondents reported to me recently that America Unearthed host Scott F. Wolter was in Scotland this past week filming a new episode of his onetime H2 series, which now airs in reruns on the Travel Channel. While no formal announcement has been made about where or when the new episodes will air, it’s unlikely that the show’s production company, Committee Films, would foot the bill without an agreement in place. I asked the Travel Channel for information about their plans for the series and about some of the controversies associated with its past episodes, but they did not respond to my emailed request for comment and did not return a voice mail left with their public relations coordinator.
Wolter and his crew were shooting at Well Cave in East Wemyss in Fife. The caves contain ancient carvings of Pictish origin dating back as far back as the Bronze Age. Wolter was filming in a location known for its extensive nineteenth century graffiti. Well Cave, which was thought to contains no Pictish carvings, had previously been featured in a 2004 episode of Time Team.
Among the hundreds of nineteenth century carvings in the cave, Wolter is particularly interested in a carving he told locals that he will link to the Knights Templar. The carving, showing a straight line crossed by three perpendicular lines beside a curved line all enclosed in a circle, cannot be absolutely dated. Local heritage experts who examined the carving in 2012 suggested it could be medieval in origin, perhaps from the twelfth century. Based on reports that Knights Templar had been in the area in the Middle Ages, one suggestion is that the carving was intended as Cross of Lorraine. However, there is no proof that the symbol was carved by the Templars. ...
