The Curse of Oak Island: STRANGE CARVINGS UNCOVERED (Season 8) | History

All right, guys, we’re off in this direction about
280 feet. I’ve guessed it, it’s about in the middle
of the boulderless beach after locating one of the
so-called anchor stones noted on a 14th-century
French map, which theorist Aaron Helton believes
will help lead to the Oak Island treasure vault.
It is a dramatic end to the beach, to the
boulders, isn’t it? Marty Laguna and his
son Alex, along with Jack Begley, metal detection
expert Gary Drayton, and surveyor Steve Guptill,
are searching for the second anchor stone
believed to be located along the island’s
northern shore.

We’re about, uh, 60
feet out at least. We’re getting close.
It’s just in here, guys.
There’s the stone. That’s it! That’s it! This
is her north anchor. Wow, look at that! I mean,
that’s pretty impressive. Yeah, yeah, I think you
guys should come take a look. This is a big rock.
What is that? There is something that looks like
a T or a cross on it at the top. Really? But that
looks like it could be natural, but I don’t know.
Yeah, what do you think, Alex? Yes or no? I don’t know.
It looks like it’s most likely natural, but it
also does kind of look a little bit like the
boat from the boat stone.

Oh, really? It looks a bit
like the boat? A possible man-made carving, similar
to the one found on the mysterious so-called
boat stone located in Westford, Massachusetts.
The boat stone is a 250-pound boulder which
contains what many believe are 14th-century
carvings of a ship, an ancient crossbow arrow, and
the numerals 1-8-4. The boat represents
a coastal range.

Five years ago, Oak Island theorist Robert Marcus
proposed that the inscriptions on the boat stone
were actually the beginnings of a treasure map, one
that would lead to Oak Island.

This is the starting
point, I believe the Templars have carved this.
According to Robert Marcus’s research, the carvings
on the boat stone were made by the Scottish
Templar knight Henry Sinclair, who many believe
sailed to Oak Island in 1398, tried a vast treasure
which included the Ark of the Covenant and the
Golden Menorah from King Solomon’s temple.

Is it
possible that this boulder, believed to represent
one of the anchors on a possible 14th-century
Templar map, could also somehow be connected to
the legendary voyage of Prince Henry Sinclair?

But this is the one Erin said would be here. She
did? Yeah, she sees both of them in the LiDAR data.
Oh, so two for two? She’s two for two. Yeah. If you
compare this stone to the southern anchor rock,
they’re pretty much the same size and
shape and the same sort of rock. It has a very
similar break to the last one, you know, the gouge
that was taken out of it, and size, I mean a little
smaller, no, I’d say that’s virtually identical.
Yeah, I’m anxious to see what Erin has in store
for us next and how finding these boulders will
help lead to the treasure chamber, because that’s
what it’s all about — the anchor stone. Look for the
anchor stone.

Yeah, how you’d ever find it though,
around the edge of the boulderless beach as well,
right? If you were looking at this from sea, yeah,
could you come in from open water, just come
down here and hopefully see that rock? And it
shares something in common with the other stone
at the side of the swamp. It’s in an area where
you could tie to it if it was some kind of anchor.

Up there, certainly similar size, shape, and have
similar markings on them, but there’d be no way
to know this from any other boulder on the beach.
If this really is significant, there’s
got to be another way to identify it.

Absolutely. All right, well, this has been a
successful mission. Yeah, but for now, I think
we’re done.

All right, we found what we were looking
for, right? Yeah, that is fantastic. Way to go, guys!
