[@shamfrog67]

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 think the Spanish solution to the cipher had some validity, telling you how to avoid the flooding that would occur if you kept going. The original English translation doesn't make sense. Why would they hide the treasure, but then put a sign that basically says, "almost there!" On top of it?

[@carilee49]

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. Thank you so much for your dedication to the truth. Bill

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.

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.

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..

Great job! I've always been fascinated with Oak Island.

[@danitewatchman6538]

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.

[@proudlion0924]

i think the ships in the marsh/swamp under nolans cross is a grave soldier with his sord. and the treasures in the money pit

[@artytomparis]

The McGinniss (McGuinness perhaps are related) family have clearly generated their fortune through the fanning the flames of the legend of Oak Island. No one is going to bury something they want to retrieve later in such a labor intensive system. If there is something under the Island, it's meant to stay there.

[@sho1489]

I guess the thing I struggle with on this whole oak Island mystery is why would someone got through all that trouble to build all of these traps just to leave a tablet to tell you how to get around it? food anyone ever stop to think maybe the money pit was the way out not the way in?

[@chizpa305]

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.

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.

[@SiriusDraconis]

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." -Francis Bacon and another author I forget the name of.

@@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. The majority of which where buried shallow and found by Samuel Ball many years ago. I'm not sure whats in the money pit.

[@SquillyMon]

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.

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.

As far as logistics is concerned, a ship would provide food and shelter, and mining engineers of the Crown would find that no problem.

I have watched all the episodes of the History Channel TV series. Very intriguing to say the least. Is there something on the island? Aside from a few found coins and a story that is several hundred years old, Maybe? Will we find out, I doubt it. If there was something my guess would be an artifact so important that they did not want people to find it. If it were Knights Templar, religious articles would be my guess. As a Christian myself, we are taught not to worship false idols (possessions), if the ark of the covenant or holy grail were discovered many people would seek these possessions for the purposes of worship, others to exploit that worship. History has shown that people will seek out highly significant artifacts for evil or selfish purposes. Hitler began an aggressive campaign to find the holy grail during WWII, Treasure hunters at the pyramids of Egypt, the list goes on and on. The biggest question I think is... If you find something so significant (like the Arc or the grail) do you tell the world and risk countries going to war to obtain it, or bury it and keep it a secret?

[@thekingsilverado9004]

@@jmacd41 As a kid in the 1970's I heard of this pit read about in Popular Mechanics I think it was and there was rumor of a family that had or has a claim on it. They did make some mentions of it in that ancient article I read in PM Magazine. It's been like a rumor thing for decades. The sad Joke is I think was Jacques Cousteau was involved in it in the beginnings. I have an actual Canadian Motorsports Magazine from 1982 mentions he was there examined the pit and said that is just what it was a Sweet Water pit. I also have a famous well driller as a friend he said he was recruited there in 1980 by Cousteau himself which kinda confirms why in my mind this was kinda like another Media Hoax on ppls minds. Tom Heffley was the well driller. When ya got him drinking at the gun club ya had to coax info out of the guy and he was very worldly knowledgeable kind of guy but very quiet and he never slung BS stories but this guy had unbelievable sums of pocket cash and it hardly ever seemed he worked at his business. He said he worked for a brief period in his early 30's for the CIA in the places like the Sinai Desert looking for well spots or sources of water 4 military bases. So that was my background why I confirmed all along it was a hoax besides seeing Sweet Water pits in the Philippine Islands and Japan. Tom Heffley just recently passed away June 2018. I have an ancient John Deere he used to own got from his estate since I was the only guy that ever had an interest in the machine. Just a lawn tractor too nothing elaborate...

I’m left wondering how in 1804, 3 men pried up and presumably removed a 90 foot stone from a 90 foot deep shaft. Also, I’m having a difficult time imagining a 90ft in diameter shaft which presumably is required in order to remove a horizontally lying 90ft stone tablet. This make me think, have I ever even seen a hole that wide in any of the documentary or reality tv programs that are available? Don’t think so. I want to understand the known information and known history of the whole oak island thing but with everything I see or read I am left with questions like I have just mentioned and no answers or even possible explanations. What is the best Doc out there? Most informative and detailed rendering of the information and history of Oak Island? Any suggestions? Thanks!

[@michaeltroja315]

Seriously ? It's called the 90ft stone because it was found 90ft deep, and was only a few sqft in size

[@newinans]

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

[@customsongmaker]

So they built the pit 1500 years ago, and nobody has used a lighthouse for distance since before English or French existed, but one encoded message is in English and the other is in French?

[@HammersonPeters]

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')?

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.

There is an extremely high probability that a modern English person with predominantly English ancestry descends from Edward III, at a very minimum over 99%, and more likely very close to 100%. Source: community.dur.ac.uk/a.r.millard/genealogy/EdwardIIIDescent.php There may be no reason to suppose that this does not apply, without too great a loss of accuracy, to the British Isles in general. Given that Mcginnis is an Irish surname, I'd say that the answer is probably _yes_, i.e. you are likely to be related to him by common descent from King Edward III. (As am I. Hi, cuz.)

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]

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.

Wouldn't the metal wall they put up around Smith's cove have shut these off? I would have thought so but it seems no matter where they dig, sea water still keeps coming in. So, if they have eliminated the 5 box drains by the wall being up, this would lead back to an earlier time when dye was used and it came out on the other side of the island somewhere. I believe this was done before the brothers got involved and if memory serves, it was done by the elderly gentleman that just passed away last year. (Sorry for forgetting his name, brain damage)
