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—actually, if you count, there’s seven stars there—it looks like the Pleiades, which is part of Taurus.

I got to thinking… is there something that archaeoastronomy might have to do with the island? Up until recently—up until the last couple of decades—they started uncovering things like Giza, Göbekli Tepe, and all these other structures that are clearly from more than 12,000 years ago.

I know too much, unfortunately. I read too. It’s a very disturbing thing. But the most disturbing thing is that there’s no list.

Beginning from a centuries-old quest for treasure to the recent revelations made by comedian Joe Rogan on his famous podcast, here are the shocking truths about the Oak Island Treasure.

As the world watches the Lagina brothers take on the challenge of unearthing the legendary treasure of the mysterious Oak Island—even Joe Rogan has had to get his head around what is going on at the island located off the south coast of Nova Scotia. Once, he commented about the strange hole in the ground that he believed must have been built by pirates.

“There’s one island that is unlike this crazy hole in the ground that was made by pirates…”

You could tell he was fascinated by how the pirates crossed the Atlantic Ocean just so they could build a complex trap that could potentially do more harm than good to anyone trying to get to their treasure.

This is just one of the many fascinating things about the treasure hunt that has taken place for more than two centuries.

Can’t say we found the flood tunnel itself, but what I see and hear is a lot of water rushing in.

Another thing that may set the treasure hunt apart from all the others is that the location of this treasure is actually known. However, while we may already know that the treasure is hidden somewhere on Oak Island, the real challenge is recovering it from its hiding place.

In fact, despite the many different attempts and approaches to extract this treasure—not to mention the six lives that were lost in an attempt to achieve this feat—nobody’s been able to claim the treasure for themselves.

Be it John Wayne or President Franklin D. Roosevelt, nobody has succeeded in solving the puzzle of Oak Island.

What exactly is this treasure, you may ask?

Well, for starters, many believe that the treasure is one that was buried on the strange island for many centuries. However, this is where the mystery of the treasure begins.

Some speculate that the treasure belonged to Queen Marie Antoinette. Some believe that the great Bard himself, William Shakespeare, either buried it himself or got someone else to travel from Europe to North America to bury his treasure—and some of his unpublished manuscripts with it.

Some would even say that he got Sir Francis Bacon to do it.

The involvement of Sir Francis Bacon in this mystery has led to controversy of its own, as some historians believe that he was the one who wrote Shakespeare’s masterpieces—not the great Bard himself.

Either way, as much as we want to find some other masterpieces from this genius of literature, we might be disappointed to only find the gold rumored to be hidden by Captain Kidd.

Regardless of who the treasure belonged to—oh hey look, yeah that says “Kidd’s Treasure”—several generations of men spent a good part of their lives crossing the seven seas in the hope that they would be the ones to emerge victorious with whatever treasure they would find on the dangerous island.

We say “dangerous” because the chances of coming across this massive pile of gold (if you will) were, and still are, way lower than the chances of coming across the fatal booby traps scattered all over the island.

These traps further add an element of danger to the already difficult treasure hunt and frustrate the efforts of would-be treasure hunters to shut off the flow of water to the booby trap system that guards the Money Pit.

Maybe it’s because of the legend of the treasure hunt that many cannot ignore its pull.

The story goes all the way back to 1795 when a kid by the name of Daniel McGinnis came across a strange circular depression on the ground somewhere on the island.

You know you’re looking in the McGinnis file for Daniel McGinnis because he’s supposedly one of the original finders of the Money Pit.

Taking his mind to tales of buried treasures told to him, the boy gathered some of his friends so they could begin work on digging into the weird sunken patch.

Surely this must be what the bedtime tales were all about.

Imagine their excitement when they came across flagstone 2 feet below the surface.

Encouraged, they continued digging, only stopping to ponder some strange discoveries they made as they dug the pit.

For example, they noticed that the pit they were digging into was lined with old pick and shovel marks. This told them that somebody definitely made and filled up this hole.

Who? Well… maybe finding the treasure they were trying to hide will reveal our mystery figure.

Unfortunately for the lads, despite digging out a massive 10-foot hole, they never came across any booty.

Without the funds, tools, and manpower to continue with their excavation, the boys were forced to quit.

From then on, however, many have been hoping to continue to work on what is now known as the legendary Money Pit.

It took almost a decade for the next group of treasure hunters to find their way to the site.

Thousands of young treasure hunters made their way to the fabled Money Pit, with one notable team being the Onslow Company, arriving in 1802.

Armed with pickaxes and shovels, they wasted no time.

They chopped through oak logs every 10 feet as they got deeper into the ground.

Apart from that, they came across strange layers of putty, charcoal, and coconut fiber.

“I think there’s big chunks of coconut fiber… that is very interesting—look at this,” said Rick, convinced that this meant the hole was created by humans.

They continued digging until they struck something solid in the ground.

While they would’ve been surprised to come across a solid stone slab, their fascination quickly turned to fear and disappointment as they scrambled out of the hole to avoid drowning in the rapidly growing flood in the hole.

“Yep, yeah, we’re getting out of here. It’s not worth it.”

Forced to stop their work, the company tried to question what could have caused the flooding and why it happened. Was this a trap?

Unable to come up with answers, the company had to deal with the discovery of the stone slab, which had the inscription:

“40 feet below, 2 million pounds lie buried” —in an unrecognizable script.

Searchers from the Onslow Company found a large, smooth stone slab at a depth of 90 feet.

As they tried to wrap their heads around the meaning of the inscription, they also had to deal with the fact that the island may actually be cursed.

There may have been rumors that seven people had to die before the treasure could be found.

It better be worth it—because so far, six people have already met their demise trying to overcome this challenge.

There’s the famous Oak Island legend: six people have died, then a seventh is to die in search of the treasure—and that’s when all will be revealed.

Either way, this hasn’t stopped many from making the long trip across the planet to give the search another shot.

While some believe the treasure may have belonged to either Captain Kidd or the Queen, others suspect that maybe it really belonged to the Freemasons.

After all, the island had a bunch of Masonic imagery scattered all over.

Maybe that’s what drove the Truro Company to take on the challenge in 1849.

Unfortunately for them, they joined the long line of people who were forced out of the hole by the ever-emerging flood.

However, unlike their predecessors, the Truro Company noticed something that could be a game-changer.

After realizing that the flood water was slightly salty and followed the tides, the team was led to a narrow channel which could lead to the treasure hidden underground.

Despite going further than most, the flood and the complex defenses—set up either by nature or by someone determined to keep people away—proved to be fatal to the Truro Company’s attempt.

“I think we might have hit a collapsed tunnel—some sort of linear feature of wood that got disturbed…”

Still, this didn’t stop others from heading to Oak Island.

Even with advancements in equipment, from pickaxes and shovels to water pumps, the flood remained the biggest obstacle.

Even the Old Gold Salvage Group couldn’t overcome the flood with their advanced equipment and divers in 1909.

Even Franklin D. Roosevelt was haunted by his failure to overcome Oak Island’s mystery. While seated in the Oval Office, King George VI of England also sent divers—only for them to fail too.

To this day, the treasure of Oak Island has still not been found.

Maybe this is why Joe Rogan felt the need to comment on the risks of even trying to explore the island.

Not only have people reportedly gone bankrupt after failing to succeed—six people also lost their lives.

This speaks volumes about the mentality and intention of the people who dug this complex hole.

It’s clear—these were not ordinary people. These were highly intelligent individuals who wanted to make it impossible to find their treasure.

Joe Rogan also noted how the island has changed hands many times as treasure hunters tried to gain full control.

“I believe the island’s changed hands like seven or eight times because people trying to find it have gone broke…”

Maybe that’s why the History Channel collaborated with the Lag
