Mike, doesn't that "black dot" on the top of the old ctmany
monument resemble the infamous laorospo blue dot?

shows
what is almost undoubtedly the original ctmany tricolonial
monument
referred to on pp 70 & 73 of boundaries of the united states
& the several
states
situated some 8 or 9 thousand feet west of
modern ctmany
today it serves to mark only a turn point on a tertiary
boundary
the one separating columbia & dutchess counties in new york
state
the leading survey commissioner at its placement
dr
cadwallader colden
was also a close scientific associate of both linnaeus
& franklin
the stone was found alive & well in the late 20th
century by a large party
of the butler family
with brian on
point
actually i have yet to see hard evidence of any older working
stone
anywhere on earth
tho i have found the rubble of a 1720 cairn
still serving as the foundation
for the working 1741 stone at cte
i
believe i may also have seen pix of some very early 18th century stuff
in
europe
but cant come up with any at the moment
additions
&or corrections to these & the other recent old stone data would
be
enormously appreciated
