Mysterious Treasure on Oak Island
In 1795, on Oak Island in Nova Scotia, three young men stumbled upon a round depression in the ground.
They dug down 30 feet before stopping. Every 10 feet they found a wood slat platform. As men, they continued the journey to no avail.
Over the years, millions of dollars have been spent to find the mystery at the bottom of the pit. 6 men have died trying to get to a treasure that may or not be there.
Still in 2010, no one has been able to get to the bottom, but it is said the owners of the island are waiting for a permit to start digging again.
This is very interesting and was mentioned on the show, "Ancient Aliens." Many think there's a treasure buried from pirates to be found.
Some think the "Ark of the Covenant" will be found, and others believe the pit is the final resting place of the "Holy Grail."
They have milked this show for 12 years! That is the treasure! Well done making $$$ the old fashioned way!
To Be Short Hopefully.. Ha.. For a Simple Example. It's Basically Like a City/ State Code Enforcement... I was Raised in North Texas. My FAMILY Builded House's From Ground Up. Also a lot were in Gated 'H-O-A'. Well Also Did Add-ons/ absolutely any Construction During the Building and absolutely any Construction After the House is Builded. You Have to Applied for a Permit and Get Said Permit Approved. So That 2 Steps/ Hoops to gGo Threw Before Construction Begins. Even Moving 1 One Grain of Dirt. Once Said Permit is Approved.
Oh Yeah Said Permit Cost $$Dinero$$.
Now in Said 'H-O-A' Even Though You Pay Can Be Absolutely of MILLIONS of $Dollar$ for Your House Honestly Most PPL Don't Read There Thoroughly. If They DiD They Would Know . They Are Never To Own The Land and or "KEY" *Mineral Rights* in Said Land.... So if You Find Anything in a 'H-O-A'
Best to Keep it To Yourself. Now If You Do Own Own Property Witch Government is Slowly Taking and Are Making What Use to Be Illegal Action On Said Homeowners Land
Writing What was ILLEGAL Actions by Law
Now Legal Action 'KEY' But Only Legal Now for the United States Government. Meaning Yes Even Though You Actually Own Land or Mistakingly Think You Own Said Land. The Government Can Deem Said Land EITHER
Historic/ Meaningful to the Story of Mankind/ Meaningful to Towns Growth-City's Future Betterment. Meang If They Tink It Betters the City or State-- Their
Bank Account. They Can File Said Land InementDomian Said Property...
Ha.... Quickly My Ass.... But that Kinda Breaks it down to Wrap One Head Around the Dumb Shit and Hoops to Jump Through
Just to Simply Find Out If You Ever Find Absolutely Anything on Your Property.
Don't Tell "NO-ONE".... ALSO if It's Significant. The Government Absolutely Will
Take a %Percentage-- and or InementDomian and Just Take %100, in the
Name of Historical and or Betterment of Said Community...
PS. If I Didn't Feel Like Educating My Fellow Man, I Would Have Simply Said
$$$-NO YOU ACTUALLY NEVER OWN YOUR PROPERTY DOESN'T MATTER IF GRAND FATHER'D IN. HOW LONG IT'S BEEN PASSED DOWN THROUGH GENERATIONS of FAMILY-$$$....
Oak Island
1965 isn’t so long ago. I was in the dentist office waiting my turn for what was real, the dentist’s drill. Fortunately, even with him telling me it wouldn’t hurt, my mind was on the Reader’s Digest article I had managed to read while sitting in his waiting room. I was fascinated with the Oak Island article, maybe much more so than a mature young man of twenty-two should have been.
Years went by before I could read about it again. The encyclopedias of those days had a lot of information, but not about fairy tales. My mind never abandoned what I had read, and I often searched the library and historic magazines for follow-up information. There wasn’t much until the Internet arrived and after that a television program that deserves credit for sharing all that has been recorded before the Reader’s Digest article and after.
Two hundred and something years ago, one hundred feet deep, and platforms every ten feet is right off the bat too much for my mind to comprehend. How can that be done? How do the platforms not get in the way of the excavation? Hundreds of men would get in each other’s way. All of us should sketch out the details of how it could possible be done. Now we line the hole with round steel wall sections that follow the excavation downwards. Subtract 250 years from modern methods and you have shovels, buckets, and ropes.
How could so many people throw money at this fairy-tail in the past? Maybe I don’t have enough imagination? Maybe they had too much money? Would money still be going into it if television commercials weren’t subsidizing it? Maybe there’s a lot of “kid” in all of us watching “The Mystery of Oak Island.”
All I know is it’s good reading before getting the dentist’s chair.
The translation of the stone sounds to easy. They were intelligent engineers and much more but come up with a simple code like that?
This mysterious story has intrigued me, I remember reading about this mystery in grade school and ever since I've always checked out anything about it when I would come across it.
Something happened there, Samuel Ball could never of gained the amount of $ that he did. His buying up the lots one after another is fishy, and with all the coins that those two brothers are finding are suspicious too. Im realistic and it's a very good chance that searchers brought the coins and lost them during there work. But I wouldn't be surprised if it is a small part of the so called treasure. I truly hope that the brothers find some treasures of some kind. There hard work and millions of dollars needs to be not in vain.
If they own the island why do they require permission to dig?
Claims, speculation, Templar Knights, Aztec's. Come on folks. It's all baloney and this show is so funny in how these old men talk the talk of BS. They always stop short of saying anything that may give you a hint that they found something. It's always a half-hearted answer, half-truth, maybe this-maybe that, showing irrelevent pictures that mean nothing. It's all baloney people. And some of you even fool your own brain into believing by saying something like, "well it could be". Good grief, you don't need anything to help believe in bigfoot because you've already helped yourself into believing it. Just like Oak Island.
I really wish that they could show some kind of proof that something happened here special. Until now I haven't seen anything that says someone was here a long time ago. Talk about a stone or coconut fibers or old coin is not enough. It's like the big foot. I want to believe but I need some proof that something happened here. Show me tunnels or something tangible. I love this story and anything is possible.
Really stupid show. Think about it… If a group, any group, wants to bury a treasure they wouldn't bury it forever. They would come back for it at sometime. Not leave it under tons of muck where nobody will ever see it again. If it were Masons, Templars, Rosicrucians or whomever, they would have passed the information down through the centuries so that present day secret society brothers could find it. Does anyone believe that the Ark of The Covenant, the Holy Grail or the balls of St. Bonehead would just be buried ? No. They would be kept in a place where other society members could view them, and or, worship them. Stupid show.
Your dragging it out so much it's getting boring
Doesn't make sense. Each platform was ten feet, but they were solid platforms as far as I can tell. The only reason to do that is to dig sideways.
What do you want to bet that the treasure is spread out all the way down, in side tunnels.
Maybe if whomever dug the hole in the first place was going to return or leave it there for someone else they would leave some sort of message behind on how to plug the water tunnels. If they simply came up on the site before. Maybe they could find some sort of other evidence somewhere else on the island. I honestly think they've tried to many times to dig the whole just yo be fluided over and over again. First we need yo figure out how to plug the holes, because I'm just as curious as everyone else.
I recently found that Marie Antionette owned the famed black diamond from a Island Temple. If it is there, leave it there. It is truly cursed. Everyone who has ever owned or had possession of it is dead. Louis gave the necklace to Marie, shortly after she was beheaded. Before anyone goes any further, find out where that diamond may rest.
The Hoover dam? That cost millions and millions of dollars, and would cost billions to make now. I don't think that's reasonable, especially for a place that is lowly populated, the "dam" would be much too expensive, and pointless. Plus The dam would have to surround the entire Island and empty out the bay. That would cost billions of dollars now, and the water-flood tunnels were underground, so even if you spent all those billions, maybe trillions of dollars, it may not work, and I doubt that the treasure you would find if it DID work, would be much more than the cost spent to find it considering that it would have been underground for hundreds of years and if there were gems or gold it would have degraded, have flaws, and be blunt and cheap.
Are the autopsies of the men who lost their lives available?
All they have to do is build a dam like the Hoover dam around that side of the island to block out the water and plug the holes with concrete and the dams should keep the water out and they can continue and finish the dig and solve the mystery of the mysterious money pit. This can be done by various millionaires putting enough money together to get it done and if there is a vast treasure to be found they can all share the rewards.
In 1971, the message on the stone was deciphered by Prof. Ross J. Wilhelm, of the University of Michigan Graduate School of Business Administration. He was a cryptographer in WWII. Using historic methods, he deciphered the message, in Spanish - instructions for plugging the drainage holes. This is well documented. It is interesting that this was left out of such a comprehensive documentary.
Francese Wilcox's comment below makes alot of sense - that the pit may be for draining marshlands. Google "aboiteau".
digging up treasure is not easy there r certain things which should be read before starting to dig or the treassure keeps sinking down
maybe there's absolutely nothing at the bottom of the hole and whoever made this is the king of all trolls!!!
In 1795 lights were observed near the hole, 3 persons went to investigate and dig.....there was a LIFTING device on a tree over the hole.
Someone was there before, took whatever was there, covered up the hole leaving a depression and left.
In 1971 photos were taken of "empty chests" or containers, tools etc. in a chamber.
There is no treasure, there WAS a treasure or something important to some people.
Interesting program, good viewing, nothing else.
Why these people keep wasting lives and money digging is beyond me, there are so many ways to get whatever is down there...
Submarines/digging robots.
Suction (of soil and water) and huge metal dams thrust into the ground.
Underwater drilling from the side like we have dug into mountains to make railways.
A solid metal net type device that could open underground and encase whatever is around it then pull it up.
Creating other water shafts to lessen the pressure on the original shaft, creating a sieve effect.
Scuba gear.
Do you think any of these could work?
i think i have a solution that may work but im not going to put it on this site but if you are interested in my idea you can contact me...
mmmmmm....
Agree it should have been dug decades ago.
There is talk of a masonic connection or bar to the sucessful excavation of this pit, which of course being a worldwide organisation could be a legitamate explanation of why this have yet to be figured out.
As you say, in the time this was constructed, the water traps would have made excavation impossible. As was the obvious intention. But there is no reason, considering the technology available to people of even relatively modest means and resources today, that water traps / ingress should be of major concern or undue hinderance.
Which brings us back to prevention by other means (masonic desguised as officialdom) as the likely reason for not having fully explored this pit yet.
Which begs the obvious question...what would the Masons or any similar organisation, desire to be elaborately hidden there, and why would they still be hiding it in the 21st century?
Its a giant toilet! lol. I believe the little girl.
