Ben Laurence new evidence says that the Templar was traveling with Vikings or at least descendants of Vikings. I love this video. This is probably the most intriguing subject in the world to me
The octagonal tower is a product of the Knights Templars; to understand this, watch the video "Octogon The Empire of Darkness" and watch the 13 hour quadrilogy "The Swiss Beast - Home of the Devil".
HEY BEN I KNOW YOUR ABOUT TO STREAM , I JUST WATCHED THIS VID ,AND I GOTTA SAY AS A SELF PROCLAIMED HISTORIAN. THIS WAS TRULY SOME OF YOUR FINEST WORK. I SERIOUSLY FELT LIKE I WAS WATCHING EXPEDITION UNKNOWN , ONE OF MY FAV SHOWS.I THOUGHT IT WAS AWSOME THE WAY YOU BACKED UP YOUR THEORY'S WITH FACT, THAT'S THE TRUE ESSENCE OF EXPLORATION.
Thank you so much man! This is the kinda stuff I really love filming is exploring places, finding clues, and putting it all together. I tried to shoot in a style that was almost like a little tv show, I’m glad that it translated well into the actual video! Thanks man :)
A different type of video and I liked this. You made good points, that thing looks nothing like a windmill and odd how the light hit that stone at a curtain time.
It lights up on my twin boys bday.dec 23 soltice babies from gemini mom.my greats grànd parents married ànd buried oak island,nova scotia Canada .i played my flute ín a bell tower of a church inside of a church .ya a old rock church with a new church built around it ....in ogunquit maine...looked just like yoúr rock formation building. Scottish/irish, masons, Templars, Vikings,pirates, and kings . Royal navy corner Stone,ships . Bridges churches fortresses towers tunnels ,etc.
Very cool video Ben. I swear I remember learning about this when I was in high school. It does look like an old corn windmill it would explain the holes at the top.
Thanks Meg! That sounds like a cool history class haha. Yeah it definitely seems like a windmill but the alignments are what throw me off. Are they coincidences... I think not!!! Lol
I briefly studied Old English (as in Runic pagan language) and these symbols look *very* similar. Infact the weird F symbol is identical to one from the language I studied, and the others look very familiar
Love the Tresh scene!! We need a fund just for tolls! 😂 Thanks for all the cool info on the rock and tower! Even tho I’ve stayed in Newport to visit the mansions, I never knew about the tower. Yep it’s a Knights Templar thing! 🤭
Ruth Metcalf lol I should start a whole separate Patreon for the tolls 😂😂 Yeah the mansion are so sick!! I’ve wanted to visit the stone and tower for years but never had the chance. I think it’s from the templars too
This is very interesting! I never knew about the conspiracy theory of the Knights Templar! I learned something new today. (I never paid attention in history class). Lol. But I definitely think it was the Templars that left those markings and built the tower. Just my thought. I don’t think it was the vikings. I watched the video twice and to hear you explain it, it does make sense why it could be the Templars. I always think every time I watch your videos, that you should have your own show on the history channel. I’m sure I’m not the only one but I get excited when I see the Warning caca mouth cause I know it’s always gonna be something funny! 😂. That toll fee is crazy! Here just to cross the Skyway bridge is like $1.25 over and a $1.25 back. So $8 total is ridiculous! Thanks for doing this adventure and sharing it with us!
Janet Irvin Fljovifan there are so many Templar conspiracies! I think the templars built the tower but I don’t know about the stone 🤔 still half and half. I’d love to have my own show in the history channel haha. Lol sorry the bonus features haven’t been as crazy lately, I hope they are still entertaining! Tolls suuuuuck 😂😂 Thanks for watching :)
Cool I actually have a beach house in RHODE ISLAND it was nice to see Newport tower and you should do a video on the breakers it has tunnels that go under all of Newport
Ok very cool Ben! As many times as I’ve been to Newport I’ve never given that tower much attention but I sure will now! And the rock in Narragansett! Love your theory and it’s VERY intriguing! Thank you guys for going! I always say that bridge toll is to keep the riffraff out of Newport but they aren’t stopping me! Lol. Btw...you would make an amazing history teacher.....just sayin’ 😉
Lisa Post thank you!! haha that’s too funny, now the next time you’re down there you’ll know more about the tower and stone. Yeeeah I didn’t think of that! Except it didn’t keep us hooligans out 😂😂 I’d love to be a history teacher, that would be a lotta fun!
The octagonal tower is a product of the Knights Templars; to understand this, watch the video "Octogon The Empire of Darkness" and watch the 13 hour quadrilogy "The Swiss Beast - Home of the Devil".
This is a great story that seems highly disputed. I say it was a windmill for a rich dude to to relax in. We need a time machine and $8 to get some more answers. Your next tee should include a"hooked X" of some sort. Great job you two! #BL
captainakron27 yeah there is a lot of evidence from both sides and a windmill is definitely possible.. look up the Chesterton windmill, it looks a lot like the tower and thats What they say Benedict Arnold modeled his after. Lmao literally though! Ya know I almost made a T-shirt design specifically for this video and it was going to have a hooked X but I didn’t think anybody would have any interest besides me. Thanks Cap!
But Captinakron, a fireplace was built into the inside of the Newport Tower. Why would a Windmill have a fireplace when wheat chaff is SO highly flammable? It just doesn't make sense that it was a windmill with a fireplace.
Just watched a show on travel channel and the archeologist on the show trace a roc or metal that the templars used to Cumberland Rhode Island. It was called cumberlandite or something like that and is only found in cumberland
Yukendoit thanks man! I tried to go with a different mood/style for this one. I don’t know how true any of it is but it’s find to just let your mind run wild and come up with crazy stuff!
Sorry, auto correct made it Kezzington. I meant Kensington lol.. You"re my favorite youtuber, and I just went to see the stone! You're awesome! Keep up th great work!
Okay Ben I'm doing my best to translate. So far I've run into symbols that dont exist in the Pagan alphabet I learned but the first 3 if taken for their literal meanings are speaking about riding some sort of "sun serpent". If taken for their phonetical meanings it says "Siard" or "Siarad"
I've seen a documentary where this tower was talked about and in that documentary (I can't recall the name of it now) they showed an ancient Templar map of the east coast of the New England area that clearly documented the existence of the tower they had discovered in their travels. Native peoples to the area also had no idea of who had built the tower. That said, the antiquity is pushed way back on this tower. If Templars found it here, during their travels and the Native Americans say it was here long before their people, who do we look at now as the builders?
When king Philip IV of France ordered an attack on the templars, many of them fled to Scotland as it was an independent kingdom at the time and was the safest place in Europe to be. Some people believe the templars sailed from Scotland to america but stopped in at nova Scotia which translates to "new Scotland" Keep in mind that freemasonry before the 18th century is a lot different to freemasonry post-american revolution. The Freemasons were known as the worlds best architects with secret knowledge about geometry and mathematics. The symbol looks exactly like the symbol you see in vortex mathematics. Now they have distanced themselves from knowledge and seek power and money.
First thing that should be learned is that Columbus NEVER made it to America. He reached the Bahamas. Take his holiday away. Oh wait thats a day off from work....
Newport tower looks like it was built by the same people that built a few of the old mills in woonsocket. River falls restaurant looks like it too. Beautiful construction
@@BenLaurence court street bridge. Behind aroma cafe. Oldest mill in America. Looks like the people built that too. Ship's used to go from Newport to woonsocket up the Blackstone river
There is a man on block island who claims to have found the holy grail. His name is Tim McCabe and he is the owner of rustic rides. He has thousands of stones that line the inside of his house and claims they were used during rituals with the grail.
Of course the templars were here I am here there decendants were the colonists. I know the whole story and there link to the Vikings. The Duke of Normandy
Did you k ow there is also a stone in the water beside bridge that has KnightsTemplar inscriptions that u can only see at low tide and even then it’s hard now becuase of water rising.
Um, if Freemasons also used the " hooked X" and they were numerous a couple hundred years ago (including Washington), Occam's razor would suggest we first look at Freemasons instead of the more fantastic Templars
according to old tyme legends there is another rock tower about the same age down around the carolina's shore , with the same style of stone work & was also called new port .... hmmmm
Jesus, if you “got” epilepsy from watching this video you must be reeeally sensitive!! Are you sure it’s a good idea to even be on your phone watching RUclips videos?
It's very interesting I watched this last week and have been looking into it and lots of theories exist around it. I can't come to a conclusion myself but it is possible the Knights Templar did get to America and build it as they built round churches but this seems too small and basic but it maybe due to the number of them and the available skills, tools and labour at the time. I don't think it's well structured for a windmill as the arches would not make it structurally strong to have the sails moving around and would soon fall apart, old windmills made of all wood or stone bases usually had strong wider bases as a windmill creates vibration and is a strong force when milling or moving water etc. This just looks too ornamental and weak for that. Interesting video!
Peter i thanks man! While I was making this I said “this is a video Peter i would like” that actually seems like a good explanation. There was a small number of them and they had limited resources and skills so that’s probably why their church was so tiny. No way it was a wind mill lol but after looking at some different wind mill structures I see some people believe that it was. There are so many theories out there about this place I guess no one will ever know for sure who built the tower or inscribed the markings on the stone
Who do you think inscribed the marking and built the tower? Vikings or the Knights Templar?

I like your theory on the tower, it sounds more legitimate than it being a windmill.
ray dude yeah a windmill just seems very unlikely when considering all the alignments
As a Rhode Islander, we do stupid shit. I'm positive that poorly placed windmills is one of those things

Yes i believe so a lost language i gear they trying bring back.so they can dycyper sone writings found,
Pagan the first language.
The hooked x has been interpreted to symbolize the bloodline of christ aka his child/holy grail

Conspiracy theory ?... cashless society ??? BEN and Tresh filming history in the making..Paying cash at toll .Have a great day from Australia

Considering it's an ancient building, the holes were likely where beams once were to help hold up a second floor

Daniel Stevens great history! I love stuff about the Knights Templar in the freemasons it’s just so interesting!
@@BenLaurence i suggest you read some of mike Hockney's books. The 'Armageddon conspiracy' shares some history about the templars.
First thing that should be learned is that Columbus NEVER made it to America. He reached the Bahamas. Take his holiday away. Oh wait thats a day off from work....
Some of the carvings inside of this structure are very similar to those in the Georgia Guidestones

IF YOU GO NORTH UP RIVER TO THE DIGHTON ROCK THERES MORE OF THAT WRITING!!!!! Reply and I will fill you in on some theories. !!!!
I’m here for the theories
There are three theories. Google Dighton Rock. Vikings, Portuguese and Indian. I think that’s the 3....
Knights Templar and Divine Femenin and its the Moon that Inportant More Than the Sun!

I hope ill find u one day :3
Columbus WAS the Templar

Lol that’s different than the Assassin’s Creed assassins
Has anyone dug under the tower? It's very close to the first Jewish temple
So what do you think is under it 🤔
@@BenLaurence well..the treasure of these Knights....
There has been a few excavations on the property around the tower done over the years.
It's BS someone admitted carving it in the 60s
Let’s see the facts 👀
I like you bro, but my puny ass shitty state definitely does not hold the Holy Grail
Yes it’s true ;)
I was hidden
I went there I saw u
I can show it to you
Why the brah culture brah?
What does this brah comment even mean brah
Ben Laurence braaah
Awe your so cute trying to understand Templar symbolism lol nice try
Cringe
man your intro song is so lame and depressing
i confess my brother kenny did that on the stone in 1956 i was there
i sat in the tower everyday i lived in Truro park i placed a quarter in a secret stone and it is still thete
