5 JAW-DROPPING THEORIES | The Curse of Oak Island's Astonishing Secrets

this whole place is all about rumor conjecture supposition hope belief we have a plethora of wild theories out here before we try to find out what treasure is here we have to figure who did the work in oakal I believe that this was the work of the Aztec empire I believe about 800 ad that it was Dean ship but came aore and they discovered pagor clay in the sediment to the Miso Americans that was worth more than gold the significance of the so Shore shaft was that was the first Shaft put down to establish a mine here the Aztecs found the blue clay that they wanted they knew they could mine that they probably put a shaft in about 8T round and they would have hit pagor skite clay at 50 ft so just simple basic mining always 300 ft was the extent of their ventilation there would have to be a ventilation shaft that's probably hidden that's why I figured there was another shaft up there and all of a sudden I looked and I went The Money Pit shaft and when the Aztecs came to hide the treasures they knew there was an old mind here they remodeled it and made it into a trap in fact they made the whole mine into a trap this is the a stone at the absolute bottom of Nolan's cross I believe that the Aztec treasure is not here it's just like a couple hundred yards over there what if he's right my goodness what if he's right the unfortunate thing is the x's on Mr Nolan's property as of right now we cannot proceed with John's the it's time to connect the dots when I read the account of how mcginness and his friends first started to dig at The Money Pit the first thing they came across a couple of feet under the turf was a platform of flat Stones it's got to do with a particular part of Freemasonry which is called the Royal Arch of Enoch time Rolls by and Along come the children of Israel and King Solomon builds the temple they find the entrance to the enoan chamber some Masonic Legends say that the Ark of the Covenant ultimately found its way into the temple The Money Pit was a deliberately constructed copy of Solomon's Temple and the chambers of Enoch x marks the spot what you're looking for is another shaft with another chamber the other end of the tunnel is at a fixed compass point from the origin which makes me think it's more likely it would be due West am I to understand looking at this that we're back in that Bloody swamp yes so how sure are you of this me yeah absolutely sure I don't care how difficult it is I really don't I mean I'll go in there by myself and that Rick leina is why you are going to find this treasure we are going to find this treasure the Rosal family has connections to the Dukey Anvil and the possible Construction or visit to The Money Pit Louie Alexander ricold was the son of the Dukey Anvil and is a very interesting character because of his associations with Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin there is a some degree of probability that Louie Alexander Ro fold in his friendship with Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson he may have actually told them of Oak Island or whatever secret was there they could have had part of the treasure from Oak Island as a way to finance the war and help you know establish the new country holy smokes If there really is a connection to the American Revolution it is indeed a national treasure for the us because it rewrites history it is a national treasure for Nova Scotia because the mystery is here gentlemen Hi how are you hi Doug a couple of months ago I got introduced to this lady in New York who's been pursuing some Templar research for the last seven or eight years the lady's name is Zena helper perhaps what we should do is introduce you to Zena herself maybe we can get her in on a conference call I call years hello hi Zena it's Doug hi so I'm with the folks on Oak Island okay and I just gave everyone here a little overview on what your research involves and that you have some pretty interesting documents okay we have the map that shows Nova Scotia we have a map of Oak Island and then we have the cipher there was a mention in the document dated 1178 to 1180 that the temple Voyage to the northeastern part of America took place and that the Templars had made landfall on an island of Oak when I found the map which is dated 1347 I began to put pieces together one of her research assistants knew of the work I was doing pursuing the history of the 90ft stone and they thought I should see the cipher and I was immediately intrigued because this appears to be using the very same symbols that the cipher for the 90ft stone used uses the maps and the LA formula Cipher were hidden in the back pocket of a book which was given to me several years ago I've been trying to decipher okay the words I've pulled out of it so far are gray wear which is a term for pottery gold sephila the site of the first uh Portuguese Fort and Factory on the east coast of Africa in 1505 and joab a general in King David's Army who spent a lot of time in Northern Africa if I can interject here sure it's all connected to gold in Africa right in one of the stories I was reading it was mentioned that joab was pushing the Philistines back and he he made it safe for the transport of the Ark does this suggest that there's an organization out there that was using these symbols to encode messages that we're doing something in Africa and somehow also we're here on Oak Island this Oak Island map that you're showing us it seems to indicate that that someone came here in 1347 yes in the 1347 map this is an extremely interesting map there's one section over to the left shows Oak Island with uh French words identifying places so this map is one hell of a mystery the handdrawn map is clearly Oak Island and then there are several things named in French which have been translated for us one is called the Basin translated from French while that clearly correlates to the swamp on the NL inside of the island also delineated is something called the marsh and that would be the swamp proper one and there is the reference to What's called the dam and it points to where Fred Nolan articulated to us last year that there was a log wall yeah and then there's something on the map called the oak enter here which points right about to where the money pit is and then we have two or three things that we don't know anything about one's called the anchors one's called the valve and one's called The Hatch you know I'm not sure that Zena's research is going to lead to answers she has a theory which uniquely is backed up by documentation and I surely would regret not following up on this research guys I'm very pleased to have Travis Taylor with us today so you've done some investigative work and you have some stuff to show us I understand yeah I do so to start with I'll U show you the analysis if you look at this chart there is a lot of uranium that's found very close to the island now the key to that is when uranium decays you get a bunch of products from it and radon is specifically the one well the idea is if you have a void uh under underneath the surface over time the uranium is going to cause this to uh fill with radon gas especially if there's no ventilation in it and this would occur in a fluid filed cavity oh absolutely it actually radon is soluble in most materials I always love when somebody thinks of something that had just never occurred to me that's the best kind of information there is and so Travis Taylor came in with a whole new perspective on maybe how to find cavities through radon testing and I don't know if we're going to have time for that this year not but I'd like to pursue that so um as I started doing this I started reading more about Oak Island and and looking at uh what it's all about uh I I came up with sort of my own Theory as to what may have happened here almost everybody that's been involved in investigating it are Freemasons so I started looking into the Freemasons and uh one of the first things that jumped out at me was uh hyam Abi's Freemason drawing template there actually meanings on this map that are based on astronomy you see at the top the hand of God is holding a chalice or the Holy Grail or the cup of life but what the Freemasons use that as a symbol of is As Above So Below the way they would draw Maps is by As Above So Below the Stars would be their guide on how they created the map if they were going to make one the star on the upper right is actually if you count there are seven stars there it looks like the pades which is part of tourist I got to thinking is there something that archeoastronomy might have to do with the island so I overlaid the constellation on on the island this is a star map we might be led to the point on Oak Island where the actual treasure is so let's do this Travis um Gary if you're available Jack let's take Travis and we'll show her on the island so let's go have a look oh that sounds great based upon your map Travis looks like the first star would be located near the lot line between 3 and two lead on Maestro there's a huge Boulder over here it could be a landmark but we should look at it right yeah there this is a big rock though that is a pretty big boulder this Boulder is actually pretty close to your spot I don't see any other large Boulder like this around here not just sitting there right well that's interesting yeah the first point that we came to there's a large Boulder at that is intriguing so we'll see if it's a patent develop yeah right we go to the next place all right let's go do that all right let's do that I'm not even going to get my metal detector cuz I'm sure it's been detected to death right oh yeah this is one of your points and there was a stone feature here a very obvious one wild right so two for two two for two you're on a roll M you and this is another point where there's some sort of large Boulder or a stone monument on Travis's map maybe it is actually finally getting connected the way it was supposed to be this one has a flat side back here we are in the general area of where this Point's supposed to be well it's amazing that we've run into big boulders at each point yeah could those stones that we saw be markers that were put there by some human beings a long long time ago to correspond with a star map the answer is of course they could we need to get corroborative information first of all and then we'll draw you know what conclusions we can draw [Music]
