Grew up in RI. Smoked a lot of weed at the tower. Back in the 80s.

I reside in Cumberland and have lived on RI most of my life. Clear skies are almost impossible. It's always grey, rainy and wet here.

I lived in Newport for 14 years and have been by the tower many times, glad to know more about it.

Wouldn't an astrolabe and star projector be useful here? As I understand it the projectors used in planetariums can be programmed for any date and time of day.

America Unearthed is a Great Serres. VERY interesting. I also find it refreshing that these men can work together even though they don't agree on everything.

What about precession related changes from the time of construction to the tower to Venus alignment?

Yes the Newport tower points right to Hoyt Peak, Utah as told by a defendant of St Clare. A n expedition sent and after 2 years not returning, they brought all their possessions to Hoyt Peak. I personally talked to native American selling three bars of gold that had a three point French crown on one side and a Templar cross on the other side.

a style of architecture can be repeated at any time, so while the stye could be from a certain time period, where's the proof WHEN it was constructed?

One question, wasn't the statue of liberty to be placed elsewhere? Possibily not even the United States
