Roman Sword found in Nova Scotia questions history of Americas

Gee, how did the Romans survive there all that long without being detected or assimilated?

The lab lady paid by the shows producers?

IIRC - was not wearing my hearing aids - she was employed by the local university.

History may well be far stranger than we imagine. While I am not qualified to examine all of Mowat's arguments, I find the overall argument persuasive enough to think that someone should be looking seriously at it:

The Farfarers: Before the Norse by Farley Mowat(Author)

I've read it. I think it is a case of the author having fun with geography, but who knows? Definitely unproven.
 
I blame Rip Hunter.  He messed with the timeline and now we are dealing with this mess. 
 
If anyone is interested, Andy White is an anthropological archaeologist based in the U.S..  He has been blogging about this "Swordgate" on almost a daily basis including comments by  Dr. Christa Brosseau who examined the sword and because of non-disclosure issues couldn't comment until the show appeared on Canadian TV (which premieres a week behind the US).

Edited to add more info.

 
The analysis actually shows that the sword cannot have been made before the 1880's, so it could be quite recent. Interesting read on her methodology.
 
#Swordgate is still proceeding...

Apparently there are now 21 different copies of similar swords in their informational database.

The "100% confirmed" Roman Sword appears to be quite firmly debunked...and in an interesting twist, deliberately done to take down a 'fake history' guy who has been arguing for its reality.

The idea of 'engineers' from centuries ago creating the water tunnels, etc, is, well, kind of far-fetched in my opinion.
