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 out who
did the work in Oak Island. 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 Mesoamericans, that was
worth more than gold. The significance of
the so-called Shore shaft was that it 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
80 ft 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.” When the Aztecs came to hide
the treasures, they knew there was an old
mine here. They remodeled it and made it
into a trap. In fact, they made the whole
mine into a trap. This is the 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.
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 Lagina 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 Duke Anvil and is a very
interesting character because of his
associations with Thomas Jefferson and
Benjamin Franklin. There is some degree
of probability that Louis 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. It uses the
maps and the LA formula cipher, which 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
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 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 someone came
here in
1347. Yes, in the 1347 map. This is an
extremely interesting map. There’s one
section over to the left that shows Oak
Island with French words identifying
places. So this map is one hell of a
mystery. The hand-drawn 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
NE 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 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, 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-filled 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 looking at, uh, what it’s
all about. Uh, 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, Hiam
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 Taurus. I got to
thinking, is there something that
archeoastronomy might have to do with
the island? So I overlaid the
constellation 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.
It is intriguing. So we’ll see if it’s a
pattern developed.
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, ’cause
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.
