    so... I first read about Oak island about 30 years ago. It Intrigued me immensely. I've kept up with research over the years. Some of it I shake my head at. Here is my gut feeling I've shared with friends for many years. Everything at the Oak Island site is A DECOY. I first thought deeply and even sketched out many ideas as to how the feat was accomplished. then LOGIC set in..... when they finally put all the clues on all the islands together, only then will the "treasure" be discovered.

    I would like to state that first of all I'm a novice History buff who watches the "Curse of Oak Island" regularly. I have found the mysteries of Oak Island fascinating but at the same time I get frustrated with their constant repeating of their findings and dragging the show out to the point of almost not watching. But the reason I'm writing is to commend you on your investigation of the actual history surrounding the Island and beyond. You have made the whole mystery that much more compelling. Just completely over the top accurate accounts of the REAL story.

      If anyone knows anything about old Sailors and remote Islands and hide outs with no real fresh water on the Island you could easily figure out that thee alleged money pit is nothing more than a fucking sweet water well with it's layered moss lined logs and charcoal. Some people are total morons. The old wooden block and tackle was nothing more than the tool to lower more logs and moss down the friggin shaft. man people can be so friggin stupid. If I found a pit like that on any Island I wouldn't even waste my time because I know what the hell it is. Pirates always hid their loots on the highest points of an Island because of storm surge and Tsunami's .... But you couldn't this bunch of camera hog boobs that bad news... People like me have been watching this load of horse shit with our Sailor friends and every goddamned one of us is just laughing our asses off at the total stupidity. No pirate ever hid their treasures at the bottom of friggin well. Farmers and prospectors did stupid shit like that and many times lost their loot because someone else knew it was there or someone came along and filled the well in... When early explorers and seamen filled their barrels with water even the smallest ships took 40 to 50 barrels of what was called sweet water. Many times they used foot operated animal skin pumps or large animal skin bladders they would send it down the well taking 2-3 guys to pull it back up... But you can't tell these rocket scientists they found an old very elaborate well... Unless ya ever go to the Philippines or South China sea ports and see one for yourself.

This adds a whole new layer to the mystery that I was unaware of and makes it far more interesting.

      There’s lost treasure in the county I live in(Pennsylvania). It was a lost shipment of confederate(I think) gold. Some treasure hunters think they pin pointed to location. It was on state game lands and they had to get permission to dig to see if they were right, or even close. State wouldn’t allow it. Soon after, fbi had tents set up in the spot the hunters pointed out. So you tell me what that looks like..

    I've always thought Smiths Cove is the key to solving the mystery. However, I don't think there's any treasure left on Oak Island. Only small treasures; no treasure chests. Captain Kidd's relative had 4 keys. He had one key, that fit one chest in his possession. Three chests were pulled out by McGinnis and friends. Still, I'll always watch and hope for treasure to be found.

      I think that the swamp was a dry dock where pirates or who ever could sail their boats into the swamp area which was deep enough at the time to do so. Then build coffer dams at each end and pump out the water and shore up the ship and you could work on it or you could build one from scratch for that matter. The island was at one time covered in oak trees, a preferred wood for ship building. That's my two cents.

      at the bottom of the money pit is exactly what dan Blankenship said there was. A body and a chest of some sort. The body is that of Father RC. Christian Rosenkreuz. the corpse was plunged into quicksilver. Thus perfectly preserving the body. Quicksilver is 14x heavier than water. I would have fought his body would have been below the swamp if Dan Blankenship didnt say he saw that in the pit. Its said that Father RC body was somehow preserved for a very long time. And with the discovery of his tomb, a lantern would be found. Years back they had a world-renowned dive team go in. They said no body or anything like that. but scans show it looks like maybe a body is there. When the dive team went down the body would have feft like a stone and also would have been submerged in dirt. They didnt know what to look for.
      What's in the chest? Probably instructions for the swamp. Which would have also been plunged into quicksilver. The instructions I mean. There is also evidence to show that the arc was also hidden. but the arc is somewhere else on mainland nova scotia.
      The thing people should be talking about is the giant issue these artifacts will create. Once the menorah is out of the swamp, what then? Canada takes. Then Israel takes it...Hmmm, I wonder where they might want to put it??? Problems... Big problems! The temple mount. The dome of the rock.
      I offer you this.
      "To conceal it from fools the philosophers have shrouded this precious treasure. From which Adam and the other Patriarchs have derived their longevity. In strange and obscure words and flowery rhetoric. Very few people in this world, therefore, know about it. For if such secrets were made public and if Godless actions happen as a result of it. They would answer for this in their first course and they would severely be punished for placing such holy things before dogs and casting pearls before swine. Truely attaining it is better than all the gold and silver in the world. And what man covents in the temporal world can not be compared with it in the slightest. The treasure of all treasures. The secret of all secrets."

      @@5foldunderstanding547 In the 1700's the French and the British where engaged in battles for control of the area. If a ship had sustained damage in battle or by storm it would need a place it could dry dock with an abundant supply of oak timber to do the repairs before it could return home. The island at one time was covered in oak trees so it would make sense. As for the rest of the stuff your only a short distance from the main land. Whether the swamp is connected to the money pit or not is anyone's guess. Personally I think that Oak Island has been the repository of multiple treasures over the years.

    In the message when substituting the symbols to English characters, it reads: Forty feet below two million pounds are buried;
    When applying the cipher disk to the symbols, it reveals a phrase in Spanish which translates to: At eighty guide millet estuary drain F.
    When flipping the symbols and making some small adjustments it reveals a Libyan Arabic message that translates to: to escape contagion of plague and winter hardships, he is to pray for an end to mitigation. the people will perish in misery if they forget the lord, alas.
    But most amazingly, if you read it backwards and change every first character for the last in each word it reveals a message in Greek that translates to: E=mc^2, followed by a message that reads: I swear on my mother that I will like this comment. You swore, so now you must like it or else the curse of Oak Island will fall upon your mother.

It didn't take me long to find an ancient Berber script that exactly matches the characters that were said to be copied from the stone. A little puzzle solving, and I have successfully translated the words: tumer=swelling, vre=caution, jummeaux=twins, and ahu=coconut.

    You know...Ive heard of this for a long time... and thought about it a long time. What nobody seems to do, no matter who they are...is consider a few things. What were the Sea Levels during time of construction ? Why would there be a Legend stating the treasure wont be found till the last Oak tree is gone and also... What would that much lumber be needed to construct ? Why would you need platforms to dig DOWN... Perhaps the constructors...DUG UPWARD? They entered from exposed shafts in the water, exposed by a lower sea level and at Low Tide...into a large cavern...hid a treasure...and dug up toward daylight. OR The shaft is a Pressure Plug...holding out air and thus the Sea? Until the seal is broken...the caves and shaft flooded...and the treasure locked under water... Maybe the shaft was a Sea Water Hole upon discovery...and the Pirates used this as a natural protection they just reverse engineered it...the water hole becoming a big Air Plug... Why was the stone facing Down?
    No treasure hunters thus far haven't considered ANY of these thoughts... No one has used Sonar either... I think if someone would consider my points...they might really get somewhere...or nowhere... Haha... No but I'm serious...something to consider. All diggers are clinging to the easiest item in front of them...a shaft or Pit... Turn the thinking around guys...just for a moment.

    What is very interesting about Oak Island is its approximation to Plymouth Rock., the reason this is interesting is because the trade winds used to sail to America from the Mediterranean would place the vessel in the Caribbean initially .... Not the North East Coast of America.
    One would have to purposefully sail from the Caribbean up the Eastern Cost of America to Nova Scotia (New Scota). The pilgrims on the Mayflower and accompanying vessels, chose to sail North where it was much colder than and easy temperate climate such as Florida, Georgia, South Carolina... Instead they sailed North to within 563km (350mi) of oak island, basically one bay away .....
    There are many other interesting things related to this mystery of Oak Island which connect to the Christian Pilgrims who came to America. Too much to type in this small space.

    I think there is a possibility for any kind of treasure when proximity to ocean or port that leads to the ocean.
    My huge problem with the oak island theory is that the theorize depth at which the treasure is supposed to be buried seems improbable because of limitation of equipment and men power. Which i believe couldn't be done by pirates. If it was done under a government/crown entity even then they probably thought that digging to that depth and creating a trap system would be costly and very troublesome for later retrieval of the treasure.
    Taking into account workers needs (food,equipment,logistics) this whole thing makes me very skeptical of the current theories.

      I'm glad you pointed that out. To answer your questions: not necessarily, and in all honesty probably not. The things presented in this video are observations, not theories; who knows how many of them are simply red herrings?
      Interestingly, most of these observations, including the use of the English and French languages, seem to be congruent with one particular Oak Island theory (which I neglected to include in this video, although I do include it in my book): the Rosicrucian theory. To make a long story short, some researchers believe that the Rosicrucians- members of a Renaissance-era secret society called the Order of the Rosy Cross- are responsible for Oak Island's underground workings. Not everybody believes the Rosicrucians existed. Basically, the only proof we have of their existence are two manuscripts, published in Kassel, Germany, in the early 1600's, called the 'Rosicrucian Manifestos'. The first of these Rosicrucian manifestos, entitled 'Fama Fraternitatis', tells the story of Order's legendary founder, a guy named Father C.R.', who made a round trip around the Mediterranean sometime in the Late Middle Ages. According to the story, Father C.R. traveled from Germany to Damascus, then to Jerusalem, then to Egypt, then to Fez (in Morocco), before finally traveling across the Straits of Gibraltar and up through Spain to Germany. During his travels, he learned knowledge and wisdom from the 'wise men' of the cities he visited, and hoped to spread that information to the people of his home country. It seems to me that the Libyan Arabic language, Late Tifinagh script, Coptic Christianity, and an ancient Ptolemaic unit of measurement- things various researchers have suggested might be connected with the Kempton symbols and the McGinnis code- might be considered elements of Egyptian/North African wisdom, and therefore might have some sort of connection with Rosicrucianism, at least symbolically. The modern French and English languages also existed at the time of the publication of the Rosicrucian manifestos. Is it possible that the Rosicrucians built the Money Pit sometime the 17th Century, and that they left behind clues which included elements of Egyptian/North African wisdom (i.e. things tied in with their legendary founding as illustrated in 'Fama Fraternitatis')?

      And they probably utilized the block and tackle as well as the massive oak tree it was hanging from to assist in getting themselves, the stone, and the tailings from the hole. That way they would not need to extend the diameter so far. Also, by following the shaft that had been previously dug, it would be much easier than digging virgin soil so by using the block and tackle, ladders, rope, and possibly even a path dug by the originals, they would not have to worry about it caving in on them as much. Just my thoughts and not meant as criticizing or otherwise insulting anyone. Thank you

      This season of the show has uncovered a whole lot of under ground digs and I'm thinking that there was more going on on this island then anyone has ever imagined. Different peoples at different times doing different things for different reasons. I believe Henry Ball probably found most of the shallow buried pirate booty while plowing his fields for farming as he got pretty rich for just being a farmer.
      I also think the swamp was a dry dock for fixing boats that where damaged either by battles at sea or by storms. That's why they keep finding ship parts there. That's the damaged parts of the ships that they where fixing.
      The whole island was covered with oak trees at one time which is the perfect wood for building/repairing ships as well. The French and British had many scrimmages off the coast of Nova Scotia and either one those two could have had a need to repair damaged ships and that would have been a good place to do it.
      There is a lot going on there and I find it pretty interesting. Sometimes I wish I was there digging myself or in the war room so I can put my two cents in.

      A very interesting theory! In this video, I didn't reveal the details of the McGinnis Code message, as I was saving them for my book. Now that you've introduced this theory, however, I don't mind telling you that the second sentence of the message instructs treasure hunters to tunnel 40 feet away from the 90-foot level at a particular angle.

    Captain Kidd's Treasure
    PEI
    Eastern Kings
    Captain Kidd's Treasure [i]
    At the turn of the 20th century, there were rumours in Eastern Kings of a treasure buried somewhere on East Point. It was believed to have belonged to Captain Kidd himself. Until the 1960's, depressions could be found on the south side of the point where numerous people had tried finding the treasure at night, remaining completely silent. The talk of treasure was so appealing that in the 1920's a young man from Souris ventured to East Point to try his luck. However, some local boys caught word of his arrival and quickly buried a pale full of rocks in the area. That night, the young Souris man and some friends were silently digging when one of their spades struck something. Out of excitement, one of the men broke the silence. When they uncovered Captain Kidd's treasure, all they found were rocks.

    Has it occurred to you that the measurement of a lighthouse could be approximately 400 feet, and so the island is between 2000 and 2300 feet away from Oak Island?

    • @HammersonPeters
      @HammersonPeters  Před 7 lety

      Hi John. No, that hadn't occurred to me. Why do you think a 'lighthouse 'might be 400 feet? That would make the island in question Frog Island, I think.

    • @johnfrick9995
      @johnfrick9995 Před 7 lety

      Wikipedia states that the lighthouse was between 394 and 450 feet tall., so 5 times that amount could be between 1970 feet and 2250 feet. I would consider any island that fell in this range as a possibility.

    Very interesting.
    Is there a hard copy or just the E-book ?? I prefer a hard copy to make notes in, highlight etc....
    The History channel TV show "The Curse of Oak Island" would be miles better (or 5 lighthouses better) if they treated the show much more like this clip instead of the repetitive mindless dribble they air thinking their audience are idiots.
    I will look for the E-book for now but please inform people if there is ever a hard copy of this book.
    You should have a link to the "Mysteries of Canada" website in the description.

    Sorry but I find it hard to believe that a pirate would spend the kind of time needed to dig 90 feet down on an island and then have the engineering skills to create a flooding boobie trap at the bottom.
