“Archaeologist Élvio Sousa of the Center for the Study of Modern and Contemporary Archeology (CEAM) on the Portuguese island of Madeira has released a statement calling the alleged discovery there of three Templar skeletons and a ‘crucifixion nail’ dating from the Roman era “a fantasy.” CEAM conducted archaeological work on the site from 2004 to 2006.

Sousa calls the new reports “sensationalist” and speculates that the nail is a common building nail from the modern era. He concludes that the supposed discovery is “pure imagination, without accuracy and scientific credibility.”

For more on the dubious circumstances behind the find and the imaginary “country” in which it took place - actually an old fort whose owner has declared a nation - please read my article from March 3.”
