Two questions …
1.Is it possible that the French had a secret about medieval land claims in North America?
France lost central North America in 1763,
but in 1782 … they wanted to limit the
westward expansion of the new USA.

2. Did they even keep it from other heads of state?

NOTE:
Although AVM may be a prayer for:
“10 men red with blood and death”
why the switch to Latin?
The KRS author(s) may have left a sort of signature (AVM was also found on grave markers in Greenland).

Could the author(s) have inscribed a “signature” …
… such as AVM perhaps?
If so, did de Maurepas recognize it, and suspect that the stone was a land claim marker …
… left by advanced, religious Nordic people?
Would he have then hidden the stone, since it pre-dated all other European claims ???
A possibility for the La Verendrye Stone ???
