"OUR MUTUAL FRIEND" (1998) - Second Review

"OUR MUTUAL FRIEND" (1998) Second Review

Several years ago, I had written a review of "OUR MUTUAL FRIEND", the BBC's 1998 adaptation of Charles Dickens' 1865 novel. Needless to say, my opinion of it proved to be mixed. But after numerous re-watches of the four-part miniseries, I came to the conclusion that my views had undergone a tremendous change . . . as the following new review will convey.

During my recent re-watch of "OUR MUTUAL FRIEND", I continued to find it a complicated tale. It featured at least four subplots (and not three, as I had originally assumed). And they all stemmed from the alleged death of John Harmon, the estranged heir to a fortune created by his father, a former collector from London's rubbish. "OUR MUTUAL FRIEND" began with a solicitor named Mortimer Lightwood informing the circumstances on the death of his late client and the details of Mr. Harmon Sr.'s will to his aunt and a group of listeners at a London society party. According to Lightwood, Mr. Harmon made his fortune from London's rubbish. The terms of his will stipulated that his fortune should go to John, returning to Britain after years spent abroad. The will allowed John to inherit his father's money on the condition that he marry a woman he has never met, Miss Bella Wilfer. However, Lightwood received news that John Harmon's body had been found in the Thames River. He and his close friend, Eugene Wrayburn, head toward the river to identify the body. And it was this sequence that led to the following subplots:

*Mr. Harmon's employees, Nicodemus and Henrietta Boffin inherit the Harmon fortune and take Bella Wilfer on as a ward/companion to compensate for her loss, following John Harmon's "death".

*John Harmon fakes his death and assumes the identity of John Rokesmith, the Boffins' social secretary, in order to ascertain Bella Wilfer's character.

*Gaffer Hexam, the waterman and scavenger who found Harmon's "body", ends being accused of murdering "Harmon" by Hexam's duplicitous former partner, Roger "Rogue" Riderhood.

*While accompanying his friend, Mortimer Lightwood, to identify Harmon's body, Eugene Wrayburn meets and falls in love with Hexam's daughter, Lizzie.

*Bradley Headstone, the schoolmaster of Charley Hexam, Lizzie's younger brother, develops a romantic, yet violent obsession with Lizzie and a deep hatred of Eugene.

*Mr. Boffin hires a ballad-seller with a wooden leg named Silas Wegg to read for him. When he finds Harmon's will in one of the Harmon dust piles, Wegg schemes with a taxidermist named Mr. Venus to blackmail the newly rich dustman.

*Mr. and Mrs. Lammle, a society couple who had married each other for money and discovered that neither had any, plot to swindle Mr. Boffin of his money.

I have experienced a handful of movies, novels and television shows in which disparate subplots eventually form into one main narrative. A major example of this was the 2002 novel and its 2008 movie adaptation, "MIRACLE AT ST. ANNA". But I cannot recall any form of fiction in which a particular narrative divides into a series of subplots from one main action or character. When I first saw "OUR MUTUAL FRIEND", I found this narrative device not only original, but rather disconcerting.

The problem I initially had with "OUR MUTUAL FRIEND" was that I only enjoyed only one major subplot - the bizarre "love triangle" between Eugene Wrayburn, Lizzie Hexam and Bradley Headstone. I cannot deny that I found it very interesting and very tense. Yet another re-watch of the miniseries made me aware of the mistakes I had made in judgment. One, my views of the miniseries' other subplots turned out to be more interesting than I had initially assumed. It finally occurred to me how wealth, greed and/or class played major roles in Dickens' story. The Harmon fortune had attracted greedy types like Silas Wegg and the Lammles. Even Bella Wilfer was willing to use the Boffins to find a wealthy husband within London's high society. Gaffar Hexam's discovery of the fake John Harmon's body and the reward he had received led his greedy and jealous former partner to accuse him of murder.

John's deception also exposed a good deal of class bigotry in this tale. Upper-class types like Lady Tippins seemed appalled at the idea of lower-class citizens like the Boffins inheriting a large fortune. She seemed to harbor this attitude that attorney Mortimer Lightwood should automatically take control of the Harmon fortune. As the Boffins' protégé, Bella initially regarded John as beneath her, due to his position as the Boffins' social secretary, John Rokesmith. Class bigotry practically reeked throughout the love triangle between Lizzie, Eugene and Bradley. Despite being in love with Lizzie, the upper-class Eugene seemed more wiling to view her as a potential mistress, instead of a wife. Bradley Headstone, who came from the same class as Lizzie, seemed more than willing to marry her. Yet, he also regarded her as being socially beneath him, due to her lack of education. He seemed to believe Lizzie should be grateful to marry him and reacted with surprise when she rejected his offer. And Eugene not only regarded Bradley as a romantic rival, but also as a man who was socially beneath him. The miniseries ended with Mortimer Lightwood attending a society party aboard a River Thames steamer. He and a shy man named Mr. Tremlow defended a particular marriage that crossed class lines, despite the other partygoers' disapproval and contempt. This ending is one of the main reasons I truly enjoy this adaptation of Dickens' novel. I found it emotionally satisfying, yet very poignant.

Sandy Welch made some changes in Dickens' narrative. Instead of pursuing heiress Georgiana Podsnap and attempting to trap her into marriage with fortune hunter Fascinating Fledgby, Alfred and Sophia Lammles set their sights on the Boffins' money. Welch's screenplay had excluded Fledgby altogether, along with his moneylending business. These changes made sense to me, considering the Lammles' arc with Fledgby and Miss Podsnap had nothing to do with John Harmon or his fortune. The Lammles met a nameless heiress (a stand-in for Georgiana Podsnap?) at a rail station near the end, as they boarded a train for Dover and the English Channel. Due to Welch's erasure of the Fledgby character, she reduced Mr. Riah's character as a close friend of both Lizzie and her friend, dollmaker Jenny Wren. Mr. Riah only played a role by helping Lizzie find a job outside of London.

It seemed a pity that Welch had eliminated the Fledgby character and his arc with Mr. Riah. It would have given the miniseries a peek into Victorian anti-Semitism, something the novel managed to achieve on a small scale. But as I had pointed out - Fledgby and Mr. Riah's arc had no connection to John Harmon, his fortune and his deception. To understand what I am trying to say, let me clarify. All of the other arcs in "OUR MUTUAL FRIEND" either began with Mr. Harmon Sr.'s will or with John Harmon's actions following his arrival in London. The former's will led John to create and participate in his deception in order to judge Bella. If Mr. Harmon had not made that condition for John to marry Bella in order to inherit his fortune, chances are John would have never conceived his deception. He would have never been attacked by the man he had recruited to impersonate him. Hexam would have never found the impersonator's body and found himself falsely accused of murder by his former partner.

Even if Mr. Harmon's will had not changed, John could have simply adhered to and inherit his father's fortune, leading to a possible loveless marriage to Bella. With no body to find, Mortimer and especially Eugene would have never met Lizzie. As Charly Hexam's tutor, Bradley Headstone probably would have met Lizzie and fallen in love with her anyway. But I believe she still would have rejected him. It is possible the Lammles would have focused their attention on John. But I suspect they would have very little success in befriending him. If John had immediately inherited his father's fortune, the Boffins would have inherited one of the Harmons' dust piles. Does this mean Mr. Boffin would have hired Wegg as his reader anyway? I wonder.

I cannot deny that "OUR MUTUAL FRIEND" did such an excellent job in exploring the effects of wealth, greed and class in Victorian London. All or most of the subplots seemed to flow from John Harmon and his decision to fake his death. Like the River Thames that flows through southern England and London. Is it any wonder that Dickens had decided to set his novel along the river - even outside of London? The story began with Lizzie and and her father scavenging along the Thames and ended on that lovely moment when both Mortimer and a shy man named Mr. Tremlow defended a recent marriage that crossed class lines at a society party aboard a steamer on the river.

As for the production values for "OUR MUTUAL FRIEND", I still remain impressed as ever. David Odd's cinematography still strikes me as colorful and epic. I am not surprised that he had received a BAFTA Award nomination for his work. Malcolm Thornton won a BAFTA Award for the miniseries' excellent production designs. His recreation of mid-19th century London and the River Thames struck me as colorful, well-detailed and just outstanding. Mike O'Neil had earned a BAFTA nomination for his costume designs. A part of me wish he had won. I still find them beautiful and a near reflection of Britain in the 1860s, as shown in the images below:

My opinion of "OUR MUTUAL FRIEND" may have improved over the years, but I still have a few issues with it. One of those issues remained John Harmon's deception regarding his identity - namely how it affected Bella Wilfer. I still find it problematic that John did not reveal his true identity to her, until a few months after their wedding. And I found Bella's lack of hostility toward his revelation implausible. Although I found Silas Wegg's attempt to blackmail Mr. Boffin interesting, I found his constant complaints about his target and plotting with Mr. Venus rather irritating after two episodes or so.

The performances featured in the 1998 miniseries more than satisfied me. I found Harmon's gradual love for Bella very interesting to watch, thanks to Steven Mackintosh's subtle performance. And Anna Friel did a great job in developing Bella Wilfur from a materialistic and ambitious young woman, to one for whom love and morality meant more to her than material wealth. "OUR MUTUAL FRIEND" also featured excellent performances from Peter Vaughn and Pam Ferris as the Boffins, Kenneth Cranham as Silas Wegg, Margaret Tyzack as the imperious Tippins, and Dominic Mafham as Mortimer Lightwood. The miniseries also featured first-rate supporting performances from the likes of David Schofield as the no-nonsense Gaffer Hexam, Anthony Calf and Doon Mackichan as the Lammles, Paul Bailey as Charley Hexam, Peter Wight as Mr. Wilfer, Cyril Sharps as the kindly Mr. Riah, Linda Bassett as pub owner Abby Potterson, Edna Doré as the kindly, yet proud Betty Higden; and Robert Lang as the reserved and shy Mr. Tremlow, whom I believe provided one of the best moments in the series.

But there seemed to be performances that I believe stood above the others. Timothy Spall gave one of his more subtle performances as the enigmatic taxidermist Mr. Venus, who found himself drawn reluctantly in Wegg's scheming. Some have complained that Katy Murphy had been too old, as a thirty-something actress, to portray dollmaker Jenny Wren, a character in her late teen or early 20s. But the other two actresses I have seen portray Jenny were either 30 or older, so I do not understand the complaint. And Murphy did such an excellent job in conveying Jenny's emotional, yet blunt personality. I thought David Bradley did a superb job in his portrayal of the sly, yet malevolent waterman, Rogue Riderhood. Unlike other actors in the role, he did not succumb to occasional histrionics.

In my previous review of "OUR MUTUAL FRIEND", I had accused David Morrissey of engaging in histrionics in his portrayal of the violently jealous headmaster, Bradley Headstone. I had been wrong. Morrissey only did it once in a scene that featured Lizzie Hexam's rejection of his marriage proposal. Otherwise, I thought the actor gave a brilliant performance. One would think portraying the reserved Lizzie Hexam would be a walk in the park for any actress. Yet, I believe Keeley Hawes took the portrayal to another level by not only conveying Lizzie's dislike of Headstone, and her wariness toward Eugene Wrayburn's feelings for her; but also her streak of insecurity that led her to doubt her worthiness for someone like Eugene. I had earlier accuse the actress of being unable of to express Lizzie's true feelings for Eugene until the last episode. But I forgot that Hawes did convey moments of attraction toward Eugene. And in portraying a reserved character like Lizzie, she did an effective job of conveying the character's penchant for keeping such feelings closely to her chest. I have said this before and I will say it again - I believe Paul McGann gave the best performance in "OUR MUTUAL FRIEND", for his portrayal of the ambiguous Eugene Wrayburn. If one closely observe the character, he is not exactly a nice man. At least most of the time. McGann did a beautiful job in his portrayal of the indolent, yet patronizing attorney; conveying both the negative and surprisingly, the character's positive traits. And thanks to McGann's performance, one could see Eugene's struggle between his love for Lizzie and his wariness over her class.

Do I still believe "OUR MUTUAL FRIEND" was flawed? Well . . . I point out a few. As I had stated in my previous review, the 1864-65 novel is not considered among Charles Dickens' best works. But my opinion of the 1998 adaptation certainly has improved a great deal over the years. Screenwriter Sandy Welch and director Julian Farino did excellent jobs in translating Dickens' tale to the television screen. And the production not only featured first-rate work from the crew, but also superb performances from an excellent cast led by Steven Mackintosh. If I must be honest, not only has my opinion of "OUR MUTUAL FRIEND" improved over the years, I now consider it one of the best adaptations of any of Dickens' works.

@dongtopus​ Oh boy oh boy, fasten your seat belt sir!

I’ll just go with the second question first and say: YES! This happens to me all the time! I distinctly remember this one time many years ago that really irked me. I was watching Barry Lyndon and this guy played by Patrick Magee suddenly appears:

Basically the only difference was the placement of the beauty spots. I shook my fist at Kubrick, I was in awe at first but then so pissed for a while that he beat me to it lmao.

Back to the first question, here’s the the first neat faces that popped into my head:

Max von Sydow

Basil Rathbone, I want his smug bastard energy

Speaking of bastard energy, Siân Phillips and Glenn Close

Our man Ian Mckellen

Gael García Bernal put a spell on me and I’ve never been the same since

Javier Bardem (that profile one!)

Jeremy Brett

These three...Omar Sy, Olivia Colman and Toni Servillo... their faces in general, but the million dollar smile just, arghh I want to capture that

“poor lil meow meows” category: Zbigniew Zamachowski  and Anatoliy Solonitsyn

Juliette Binoche

Charles Dance

Roger Hammond, Geoffrey Palmer, Cyril Shaps in   The Madness of King George (1994)

Philippe noiret and Massimo Troisi, love their contrast in Il Postino (1994) on the last pic

Willem Dafoe

Jonathan Pryce

Rachel Weisz

Peter O’Toole

Peter Vaughan

Daniel Day-Lewis

Rui Rezende, here playing a romantic well-read werewolf in a renown brazilian soap opera: 

The Name of the Rose (1986), the monks there is the gift that keeps on giving for me. I have nothing but love for all the diffferent and excentric looking characters  be it well known actors or lesser known,only appear for a couple of shots figures in the background

Ivan the Terrible (1944) is also a gold mine for tons great and distinct looking faces

I love this fella over here he looks like a small bird of prey

Bonus: Kapellmeister Bonno from Amadeus (1984) played by Patrick Hines. He has the best facial expressions and reactions, every time... I can't take my eyes off him

EL MISTERIO DE OAK ISLAND…

Oak island…6 murieron de 7 antes que se revele la verdad y su contenido…

El misterio de esta isla canadiense con construcciones extrañas y su llamado pozo del dinero que ha desatado obsesiones por desentrañarlo y encierra respuestas que podrian cambiar nuestra vision de la historia…

La isla de Oak ( isla del roble ) , es una pequeña isla en el Condado de Lunenbur litoral sur de Nueva Escocia, frente a las costas atlánticas de Canadá . Es una de las casi 360 pequeñas islas de la Bahía de Mahone con una altura máxima de 11 metros sobre el nivel del mar .

La leyenda del tesoro de la Isla de Oak, enterrado en el llamado pozo del dinero, ha hecho que esta isla de forma irregular no pase de largo por la historia, pues se cree que hay enterrado un tesoro de incalculable valor .

Las diversas excavaciones realizadas , el enorme laberinto de túneles encontrado ( aún no se sabe con certeza cuando fueron construidos ni porqué ) , las cantidades astronómicas invertidas durante mas de 200 años , o las 6 muertes producidas intentando encontrarlo han contribuido a aumentar el interés por la leyenda en cada nuevo intento , convirtiendo al pozo del dinero ( money pit ) en uno de los mayores misterios del mundo .

Entre las teorías que se han expuesto sobre sus constructores se habla de los fenicios, los cartagineses, los vikingos, los templarios, y por supuesto, los piratas. Una extraña piedra encontrada en el pozo en 1804, dice, en mensaje codificado, “catorce pies debajo están enterradas dos millones de libras . La historia comienza en 1795 alguien llamado Daniel McGinnis, llegó a la isla de Oak ,( vocablo que significa “roble”), un árbol que abunda en la isla . Fue precisamente en un roble, en donde McGinnis encontró unos aparejos de barco , una polea , que pendía de una de sus ramas, y debajo, una hendidura en forma de circulo. Creyendo que se trataba de un antiguo tesoro de piratas fue en busca de un equipo y algunos hombres para emprender la excavación en aquel lugar.

Junto con 2 compañeros , remaron a través de la bahía desde tierra firme en Canadá ,y comenzaron a cavar . A los 60 centímetros encontraron una capa de piedras lisas, cortadas a propósito y de un tipo de piedra que no se encontraba en la isla , capas de piedras semejantes a las del pavimento . A unos tres metros de profundidad, hallaron una plataforma de troncos incrustados en las paredes de un pozo. A unos 6 metros de profundidad, encontraron otra plataforma de igual forma, pero no pudieron llegar más allá. Como nadie daba demasiado crédito a su aventura, sin el apoyo de otras personas no les fue posible encontrar nada y finalmente decidieron abandonar la búsqueda del tesoro agotados de cavar la dura tierra ( habían llegado hasta los 10 metros de profundidad ).

Por aquellos años, esta historia cayó en el olvido al igual que sus protagonistas. Sin embargo , en 1804 , un acaudalado hombre de negocios de la ciudad de Onslow, Simeón Lynds organizó una nueva expedición para seguir con la excavación. A medida que descendían en las profundidades de aquel pozo, encontraban más plataformas de roble, colocadas a 3 metros de distancia, unas de otras , pero no idénticas. Algunas eran especialmente gruesas y reforzadas con fibras de coco, masilla y carbón vegetal.

A los 27 metros encontraron una losa de pórfido, material prácticamente inencontrable no sólo en la isla del roble sino en toda Norteamérica. Y en la losa una inscripción en un alfabeto desconocido para todos los miembros de la expedición. En este punto hay varias hipótesis. Algunos expertos quisieron traducirlo en una frase un tanto pueril y absurda, basándose en un código de cifras sencillo, que diría: “14 pies abajo 2,000,000 de libras están sepultadas”. Pero otros, como el profesor Barry Fell, un experto en lenguas antiguas, llegó a la conclusión de que se trataba de un dialecto copto mediterráneo, cuyo significado sería religioso. A esta piedra se la llamó la piedra clave , fue vista hasta principios del siglo XX . No hay fotos ni dibujos de dicha piedra antes de su desaparición … En 1.849, los dos muchachos que ayudaron a Daniel McGinnis, colaboraron con la Sociedad Truro para resolver al fin el misterio de esta Isla. El encargado de dirigir toda la operación se llamaba Joham B. McCully y fue él quien descubrió el porqué el agua subía sin control por el pozo y cómo dirigirla hacia otro lado. Ahora bien, poco le duró el invento, pues el dique se vino abajo con el continuo empuje de las mareas altas. Una vez más el guardián del tesoro parecía hacer de las suyas y cumplir bien con su cometido. Ahora bien, esta expedición sí que logró encontrar una posible cámara en la que estaría guardado el tesoro, lo que no llegaron a acceder a ella. En el año 1861 se volvió a intentar, pero tampoco esta vez una forma de evitar que el agua y el barro lo destrozara todo impidiendo el paso.

Diversas son las teorías que se han lanzado sobre el origen de este pozo. Se habla de los Caballeros Templarios, se comenta que si Sir Francis Drake o que si el Capitán Kidd, incluso se dice que pueden ser las joyas de la Corona Francesa que desaparecieron en 1791, pero lo cierto es que aún no ha podido ni confirmarse ninguna de ellas, ni encontrar el supuesto tesoro que esconde. Hoy en día es propiedad privada y sus actuales dueños siguen buscando el tesoro…

También, poco a poco, fueron dándose casos de apariciones extrañas rondando el pozo, así como sombras. Muchos incluso decían haber visto a soldados ingleses del siglo XVIII rondando por los alrededores de las excavaciones.

Los últimos restos encontrados datan de 1897 cuando se encontraron restos de pergamino y en 1967-1969 cuando fueron descubiertas maderas del siglo XVI y un pedazo de latón antiguo. Con los avances tecnológicos alcanzados por el hombre, parecía que la solución del misterio iba a tener una rápida solución. En 1972 con los avances de una cámara submarina, se logra captar lo que serían un par de cofres, una estructura laberíntica y lo que, a ojos de los investigadores, pudiera ser un cadáver. Pero poco más se ha sabido de este pozo y lo que hay en sus entrañas. A día de hoy se sabe que es imposible controlar las inundaciones y todo un misterio como llegar al final del pozo.

CRONOLOGIA

1795: Daniel McGinnis encuentra el pozo del dinero. McGinnis, John Smith, y Anthony Vaughan cavan 30 pies de profundidad en la tierra temporalmente.

1803: La Onslow Company junto con los 3 buscadores originales comienzan la excavación. Consiguen cavar 90 pies, pero esta excavación se inundó debido a conductos y túneles que comunicaban con el océano.

1804: La excavación paralela que realizó la Onslow Company a 110 pies, también fue inundada al querer acceder al túnel principal donde se encontraba el tesoro.

1849: La Truro Company comienza a cavar. Perforan mediante 2 barriles llenos de “loose metal”. Además recuperaron 3 conexiones hacia el túnel principal hacia el tesoro.

1850: Canal subterráneo y playa artifical donde encontraron en la cala de Smith.

1861: La Isla del Roble se cobra la primera vida humana. Una caldera que estalló mató a un hombre.

1861: El fondo se hundió debido al conectar con tres túneles que se cruzaban entre sí a una profundidad de 100 pies.

1893: Fred Blair y la Oak Island Treasure Company comienzan sus investigaciones. Investigaron el túnel del derrumbamiento.

1897: La formación de rocas en triángulo fue descubierta.

1897: El cemento y el pergamino encontrados fueron descubiertos durante la perforación.

1897: La isla se cobró la segunda vida cuando Maynard Kaiser bajó por el túnel.

1899: El segundo túnel inundado, el túnel del sur de la orilla, fue descubierto.

1936: Fue encontrada la segunda piedra con inscripciones y se descubrieron más evidencias sobre el tesoro.

1965: En un día la Isla del Roble volvió a cobrarse la vida de cuatro hombres: Bob y Bobbie Restall, Karl Grasser, y Cyril Hiltz … Y desde entonces son muchos los que han intentado encontrar el supuesto tesoro, o por lo menos descubrir cual es el misterio que se oculta bajo tantos metros de tierra, piedra y madera. Nada se sabe aún al respecto. Sigue asombrando al mundo cómo alguien hace más de 200 años pudo construir un pozo que ha sido capaz de resistir todo tipo de excavaciones e investigaciones sin llegar a desvelar el misterio que esconde. Expediciones posteriores, como la que llevó consigo Simeon Lynds, descubrieron más tablas de madera cada 3 metros y planchas de fibra de coco. Pero la gran sorpresa se produjo cuando alcanzaron entre los 27 y los 30 metros de profundidad, donde una losa fabricada en pórfido, material que utilizaban desde tiempos inmemoriales civilizaciones como la egipcia o la romana. Esta losa, en cuya superficie podían verse caracteres extraños, les paró el paso. Según cuentan, (esta tabla se perdió hace ya mucho tiempo), lo que ponía podía traducirse como: “40 pies más abajo hay enterrados 2 millones de libras“. Pero ocurrió que por debajo de esta losa el agua comenzó a fluir y, aunque intentaron achicarla, nada pudieron hacer teniendo que abandonar finalmente la excavación.

Años más tarde, en 1.849, los dos muchachos que ayudaron a Daniel McGinnis, colaboraron con la Sociedad Truro para resolver al fin el misterio de esta Isla. El encargado de dirigir toda la operación se llamaba Joham B. McCully y fue él quien descubrió el porqué el agua subía sin control por el pozo y cómo dirigirla hacia otro lado. Ahora bien, poco le duró el invento, pues el dique se vino abajo con el continuo empuje de las mareas altas. Una vez más el guardián del tesoro parecía hacer de las suyas y cumplir bien con su cometido. Ahora bien, esta expedición sí que logró encontrar una posible cámara en la que estaría guardado el tesoro, lo que no llegaron a acceder a ella. En el año 1861 se volvió a intentar, pero tampoco esta vez una forma de evitar que el agua y el barro lo destrozara todo impidiendo el paso. Diversas son las teorías que se han lanzado sobre el origen de este pozo.

Hoy en día es propiedad privada y sus actuales dueños siguen buscando el tesoro… … ALGUNAS CONCLUSIONES NUESTRAS….

La teoria de los antiguos astronautas sugiere que fueron extraterrestres los que construyeron el pozo-trampa ya que no habria sido posible para los humanos antiguos debido a los conocimientos de arquitectura e hidraulica quee se requieren para la construccion del mismo y la maquinaria necesaria. esto es apoyado por el hecho de que incluso en nuestra epoca todavia no pueden acceder al fondo del pozo en el que segn la teoria se encontraria el arca de la alianza conteniendo un reactor nuclear alienigena…

En esta parte, en esta isla o en Canadá, no existen cocoteros, pero sin en cambio, las tapas estaban cubiertas por capas de piel de coco, además de una arcilla que solo se utilizó en época de los egipcios y romanos, supuestamente cuando América aún no había sido colonizada.

Además, no son ríos subterráneos, son entradas desde el mar para llevar el agua hasta el pozo, como una especie de trampa, son túneles hechos por alguien, eso es lo raro. Además, quien se daría el lujo de cavar un túnel así con materiales que no existen en ese lugar, que no son de esa época, solo para tapar un río subterráneo en una isla que nadie habita? con que fin? Piénsenlo un poco, aquí hay algo más.

EN ESE LUGAR ESCONDIERON ALGO MAS QUE UN TESORO QUE ACTUABA COMO UNA CAJA FUERTE E IMPENETRABLE , PERO PARA GUARDAR QUE? SE DICE QUE HUYENDO DE FRANCIA LO QUE TRAJERON FUE EL ARCA DE LA ALIANZA QUE EN SU INTERIOR CONTENÍA ALGO MAS QUE LAS TABLAS CON LOS 10 MANDAMIENTOS ALGO CON MAYOR PODER ALGO QUE CAUSABA ALGO MUY PARTICULAR EN QUIENES LA HABIAN TRANSPORTADO SI ERA ASI SI SOLO ERAN UN PAR DE TABLAS PORQUE LOS QUE LA TRANSPORTABAN ERAN RELEVADOS DE SU PUESTO CADA TRES SEMANAS YA QUE DE NO SER ASI ESTOS PRESENTABAN PORBLEMAS DE SALUD COMO LLAGAS EN LA PIEL PERDIDA DE CABELLO Y SUS MANOS SE TORNABAN NEGRAS Y DESPUES MORÍAN Y EL QUE CONSTRUYO ESTA BOBEDA OBTUVO LOS PLANOS DE ALGUIEN MUY INTELIGENTE DEMASIADO DIRIA YO PARA SER UN HUMANO NORMAL JAJAJA PERO EN FIN ESTUDIOS ECHOS DEMUESTRAN QUE EN EL INTERIOR SE ENCONTRARON ALTOS NIVELES DE RADIAS ION DEMACIADOS COMO PARA QUE UN SER HUMANO NO SUFRIERA ALGÚN DAÑO FÍSICO A CORTO PLAZO ….

En la ensenada smith con marcadores artificiales bajo el agua….o.s.n.i.s ? De ahi empezo el descenso de las airships y los observadores ? Similar a ummo..

Recordemos que hacia mediados del siglo 19 se producen en Norteamerica las primeras oleadas de extrañas naves cruza de dirigibles y ovnis,rudimentarias pero que llevaban tripulacion y esa seria la primer avanzada de visitantes integrandose a nuestra cultura subrepticiamente para estudiarnos…. Nunca se se supo la base de operaciones y descenso de estas visitas y la posicion de la ISLA OAK es estrategica y ha tenido historia de oleadas de ovnis y osnis…

LA FAMILIA SINCLAIR , TEMPLARIA…TRAJO RELIQUIAS A AMERICA ?

Henry sinclair en 1303 se hizo lider de templarios y llego a Oak island y planto robles para marcar galeria de tuneles de roble para esconder material y tesoros de los templarios en Oak island …usaban material magnetizado…

Huesos humanos en el foso 10x en los 70 con videos,herramientas y cofres….

El foso sin fondo descubierto en 1765.buceo en agua salada del oceano.con piedras extrañas con vegetacion y muy antiguas…

Fibras de coco apiladas encima de 5 canales de desague para el hoyo sin fin…fibra de coco igual a la usada aun hoy en tierra santa…

Y lograron hallar la fibra de coco…aun…cuando baja la marea se hallan esos restos…..la extraccion debe ser rapida antes del regreso de la subida de la marea …

Viernes 13 de 1307 los templarios son emboscados para sacarle riquezas y reliquias… El tesoro y reliquias templarios 14 barcos zarparon de larrochelle para venir a america… O un barco español para ocultar tesoro y fingir hundimiento. . Las muestras de ensenada smith para fibra de coco…la fibra resiste siglos…los conocedores de quimica saben de su baja descomposicion y resistencia…

Y la universidad de arcadia confirmo que era fibra de coco…de 1400…

Se dice que es una formacion natural..ja…hay restos de investigaciones y referencias masonicas…el mismo presidente roosevelt participo de la busqueda en su juventud y toda la vida se involucro en el tema,empresas serias de geologos y perforaciones han investigado la isla y no han podido penetrar en el pozo ni entender como se realizo el sistema… Se deduce que solo gente con conocimientos de ingenieria y arquitectura,como los que hicieron las catedrales y se relacionaban a masones y templarios podian realizar algo asi.

Ademas la vinculacion con la leyenda de la camara secreta masonica y los mapas templarios con los que Colon llego a America,pues el simbolo pintado en sus carabelas era LA CRUZ TEMPLARIA…

Ademas los templarios condenados trasladaron sus reliquias y material a Francia,al barrio de LE TEMPLE aun conocido asi y desde donde surge LA MASONERIA FRANCESA…

la otra rama de la masoneria ? Facil,parte del legado templario se embarca con 14 barcos a Escocia a la Familia Sinclair que organiza el nacimiento de la MASONERIA ESCOCESA y que importa el culto,reliquias y riquezas a NORTEAMERICA y por eso se explica que la mayoria de politicos como WASHINGTON,FRANKLIN,LAFAYETTE,LINCOLN y JEFFERSON sean masones y ademas lo de las 13 colonias y los simbolos masonicos en el dolar…

El tesoro enterrado seria el arca de la alianza con el griaal y las verdaderas tablas de la ley y la tora….no la que usa Israel y esta adulterada…

Y algunos creen que el sarcofago metalico sumergido seria de platino o alguna aleacion alquimista y tan importante obra de excavacion con canales y trampas guardaria el cuerpo de algun avatar o mesias …quizas muerto y conservado pero segun leyendas del 2do regreso y templarias…podria ser un mesias en estado de animacion suspendida a la espera del regreso…

The True Story of the Aberfan Disaster

The True Story of the Aberfan Disaster

SMITHSONIANMAG.COM | Nov. 15, 2019, 3:45 p.m.

Jeff Edwards’ primary school teacher had just started the day’s math lesson when an ominous rumble sounded in the distance.

“The next thing I remember was waking up,” he later recalled. “My right foot was stuck in the radiator and there was water pouring out of it. My desk was pinned against my stomach and a girl’s head was on my left shoulder. She was dead.”

Over the next hour and a half, the then-8-year-old Edwards struggled to breathe as his classmates, trapped under a torrent of liquefied coal waste, cried out around him. With every passing minute, he said, “They got quieter and quieter, … buried and running out of air.”

Around 11 a.m., someone spotted a tuft of Edwards’ blonde hair amid the rubble. A fireman used a hatchet to free the young boy from beneath his desk, then passed him along to safety via a human chain. Edwards, the tenth child rescued that morning, would be the last survivor pulled from the debris.

In total, the October 21, 1966, disaster killed 144 people, 116 of whom were students at the Welsh town of Aberfan’s Pantglas Junior School. The tragedy, according to BBC News’ Ceri Jackson, was a “mistake that cost a village its children”; in the words of a tribunal commissioned to investigate the incident, the deadly accident “could and should have been prevented.”

The Aberfan disaster features heavily in season three of Netflix’s award-winning series “The Crown,” which returns to viewers’ screens this Sunday after a two-year absence. To ensure the television biopic portrayed the incident “truthfully and responsibly,” the cast and crew consulted survivors and current residents of Aberfan. Per a statement from the show’s producers, “All strongly felt the Aberfan disaster and the events that followed must be included, especially as it continues to hold a deep resonance for the nation and the queen herself.”

Much like the days that preceded it, the morning of the disaster found Aberfan, a southern Wales village home to some 8,000 coal miners and their loved ones, blanketed in a wet fog. The 240 students enrolled in the school walked to class in the rain, but few were focused on the weather. Instead, the children’s conversations centered on plans for the coming half-term holiday: Following an early afternoon assembly, all students would be dismissed for vacation.

Several years earlier, the local council had contacted the National Coal Board, which ran the nearby Merthyr Vale Colliery mine, to express concerns regarding the spoil tip—a massive pile of accumulated coal waste material removed during mining—situated just above the Pantglas school.

“I regard it as extremely serious as the slurry is so fluid and the gradient so steep that it could not possibly stay in position in the winter time or during periods of heavy rain,” one engineer wrote in a June 1963 letter.

The NCB not only ignored these complaints, but implicitly threatened the town’s livelihood. Per BBC News, the unionized mining giant made its intentions clear: “Make a fuss and the mine would close.”

At the time of the disaster, the tip in question, number seven, rose 111 feet aboveground and contained nearly 300,000 cubic yards of waste. Set atop an underground spring covered by porous sandstone, the heap was precariously placed and, thanks to the recent rainy weather, extremely oversaturated.

At 7:30 a.m., workers assigned to the tip discovered that it had started to slide. Although the crew opted not to move forward with the day’s planned tip operation, they were unable to prevent further slippage, and at 9:15 a.m., a “glistening black avalanche” of liquefied coal waste, or slurry, began hurtling toward the village below.

“I thought I was seeing things,” crane driver Gwyn Brown later told investigators. “Then it rose up pretty fast, at a tremendous speed. … It sort of came up out of the depression and turned itself into a wave—that is the only way I can describe it—down toward the mountain.”

According to History Extra’s Steve Humphries, the 30-foot-tall “tsunami of sludge” raced down the hill at a speed of more than 80 miles per hour. Sweeping past a canal and an embankment, the landslide tore into the Pantglas Junior School, breaching the walls of four classrooms and trapping those inside in a flood of thick, quicksand-like sludge.

In the immediate aftermath of the onslaught, an eerie silence settled across the area.

“Everything was so quiet,” Cyril Vaughan, a teacher at the nearby senior school, said. “[It was] as if nature had realized that a tremendous mistake had been made and nature was speechless.”

Rubble and water from burst pipes exacerbated the already dire situation. As fireman Len Haggett recounted, rescuers who arrived on the scene found rising waters threatening to engulf 10-year-old Phil Thomas, who had been caught in the sludge as he was walking to school. “The water was rising and coming up to his head,” Haggett said. “We thought he might drown.” But a group of seven firefighters managed to lift the wall that had collapsed on Thomas, and he became one of the few to successfully escape the debris.

Five students survived the disaster thanks to the quick thinking of dinner lady Nansi Williams, who sacrificed herself by shielding them from the sludge with her own body. Another staff member, teacher David Beynon, died while cradling five of his pupils. None of the students in Beynon’s class survived.

Eight-year-old Jeff Edwards, rescued from the rubble around 11 a.m., was the last person found alive. But shocked parents, miners, police officers, firefighters and volunteers continued digging long after the last child’s cry could be heard. As Alix Palmer, a reporter who arrived to survey the mayhem the following day, wrote in a letter to her mother, “Men who had started digging at 9:30 the previous morning were still digging, with shirts off and bodies sweating despite the cold.”

Charles Nunn, a detective tasked with cataloging the bodies brought to the makeshift morgue in Aberfan’s Bethania Chapel, sorted through the deceased’s pockets in search of “a handkerchief, sweets, anything that might help with identification.” Parents walked along the rows of corpses laid on pews, lifting blankets covering the bodies until they spotted a familiar face. Those whose children hadn’t yet been found repeated the ritual daily, leaving the chapel to stand in line once again, “mother relieving father, to keep their place outside waiting in the rain.”

Fifteen days after the landslide, Nunn and his team finally left Aberfan. They had identified 144 bodies, including those of 116 children, 5 teachers and 23 locals whose homes were destroyed by the deluge. According to Johnson, the victims ranged in age from three months to 82; of the 116 students, most were aged 7 to 11.

Episode three of “The Crown”’s new season finds Elizabeth II, played by newly minted Oscar laureate Olivia Colman, debating how best to address the situation. England’s prime minister, Harold Wilson (Jason Watkins), urges her to visit the mining village and console its grieving residents in person, but the queen is reluctant to do so, suggesting her presence would distract from the tragedy at hand. Describing Wilson’s directive to “comfort people” as simply a “show,” she declares, “The Crown doesn’t do that.”

The real Elizabeth didn’t visit Aberfan until eight days after the disaster. Decades later, the queen reportedly deemed this decision her “biggest regret.”

Elizabeth’s time in the village—biographer Robert Lacey said her “gaunt features, etched with grief, were the more moving for being so clearly genuine”—signaled a shift in the monarchy’s long-held tradition of stoicism. As Jen Chaney writes for Vulture, the moment dramatized in “The Crown” offers “one of multiple hints that modern times are beginning to demand more transparency and outward empathy from the royal family.”

A tribunal tasked with investigating the Aberfan disaster published its findings on August 3, 1967. Over the course of 76 days, the panel had interviewed 136 witnesses and examined 300 exhibits. Based on this evidence, the tribunal concluded that the sole party responsible for the tragedy was the National Coal Board.

“The Aberfan disaster is a terrifying tale of bungling ineptitude by many men charged with tasks for which they were totally unfitted, of failure to heed clear warnings, and of total lack of direction from above,” the investigators wrote in their report. “Not villains but decent men, led astray by foolishness or by ignorance or by both in combination, are responsible for what happened at Aberfan.”

Per History Extra, the NCB’s chairman, Lord Robens, denied all wrongdoing. He attributed the accident to previously unknown springs located below the spoil tip and refuted testimony suggesting the tip had shown signs of slipping in the years prior to the disaster. Both of these claims were at odds with the physical evidence examined by the tribunal.

Photographs and footage of the deadly slurry avalanche generated sympathy across the globe, and in the months following the disaster, donors contributed a total of £1,750,000. (Today, this equates to around £20 million pounds, or more than $25 million USD.)

Much of this money failed to reach the villagers whose lives had been devastated by the tragedy. As BBC News reports, the commission in charge of distributing the funds allocated £150,000 toward removal of the town’s remaining tips after the NCB refused to cover the costs; meanwhile, the fund’s managers actually considered distributing compensation on the basis of how close parents had been to their deceased children. Thankfully, the commission soon moved away from this plan, instead offering bereaved parents £50 each. Later, this figure was raised to the “generous offer” of £500.

The psychological scars suffered by survivors endured long beyond the 1966 disaster. Edwards, the last child pulled from the razed school, told Wales Online that he relived the trauma in the “days, the weeks and the months after.”

“I was afraid of noise, I was afraid of crowds, I was afraid of going to school,” he added, “and for many years I couldn’t go to school because I was afraid that something would happen to me.”

Melvyn Walker, 8 years old at the time of the disaster, echoed Edwards’ sentiments, saying, “[The sound of children playing] gives me flashbacks. I get very anxious even to this day. If I hear children’s voices it takes me straight back.”

Speaking with ITV News’ Juliet Brenner on the 50th anniversary of the tragedy, Edwards concluded, “Most of my friends in my class died. … Basically we were happy-go-lucky children, looking forward to the half-term holidays, and at 9:15 our childhood stopped.”

Since the Aberfan disaster, the queen has returned to the tiny Welsh town three more times. Although Elizabeth was unable to attend a memorial ceremony held on the 50th anniversary of the tragedy, her son Prince Charles read a statement from his mother detailing the “heart-breaking inscription” written on a posy given to her by a young girl during the 1966 visit: “From the remaining children of Aberfan.”

“On this saddest of anniversaries,” the queen added, “I send my renewed good wishes to you all.”

Was there ever an acknowledgement of Lilian/Cyril's last name? In Tipping the Velvet?

I know it begins with a V

Well, I'm making it Vaughan, I find it funny that he might be mistaken for those Vaughan's that used to live in my old house

Far below the Crawleys, of course, but still they were higher up than I am

I say Vaughans, it was the mother was nee Vaughan, the family was called Brenchley

I think they were from Kent, actually, originally, that's another funny thought

Anyway I'm already sidetracked
