Knights Templar Connection | The Curse of Oak Island

Tell me what you found that’s important enough to rewrite history.
That what? That that medieval cross.
You mean the cross?
Okay. This has been ascertained to have antiquity, right?
Yes. 1400. Is that correct?
Yep. Mhm. This is around 600 years old.
Well, it was mined 600 years ago.
Where was it mined?
South of France. Best we know at this juncture.
South of France. Yes.
So that doesn’t mean that this was here 600 years ago.
No, it was in France 600 years ago and arrived here at an undetermined date.
Of course.
Correct.
Uh was this found underground?
It’s found in Smith’s skill. There’s the man who found it with your shovel.
Yeah. You were able to uncover it.
Oh, I—I don’t do my own digging. I’ve got all these guys to dig for me.
But yeah, Rick and I were on Smith’s Cove Beach and Rick dug that out.
Wa wa wa wa wa wa wa.
Holy holy shamoly.
All right, it’s a cross.
Oh my gosh. I mean, that is an old, old cross.
Is this worth anything?
It could be. That could be part of the treasure that we’re looking for.
Doesn’t have to be gold and silver. It could be some fantastic religious treasure.
And I’m hoping it is.
Well, even the cynic in me says, “How many of those have you seen in North America?”
I’ve—I’ve never seen—
Neither have we.
Who put all this here?
Do you have, uh, any concrete ideas? Any of you opinions?
What are your theories? What are you thinking?
Templars.
Templars.
That’s where I’m going.
You all believe Templars ’cause the Templars seems to be the prevalent idea.
I would love it to be something associated with the Templars because for 300 years they go from nine knights to rivaling the monarchy and the Vatican for power and influence, right?
And then they’re gone.
How wonderful to fill those pages of history.
You know, the Templars are a—a great answer in that we know that they were marked for destruction and many of them ran as quickly as possible to escape death by the French king, wasn’t it?
King Philip the Fair.
King Philip.
And many of them were put to death. But, uh, many Templars escaped.
Where did they go?
Uh, if I were a Templar, I’d have gone to Oak Island immediately.
We went to the famous Templar prison in France.
Dom.
There was a walled city in France.
Yes.
At the gate there’s a tower. Dom.
That’s the name.
Oh, that’s the name? D-M-E.
Dom. I am D-O-U-M-B.
Come in.
But within the walls of that prison, where up to 70 Templar knights were imprisoned, they knew at that point they would never see their freedom again.
And you can see lots of evidence of how they passed their time, which was by making carvings in the walls to sustain them spiritually.
Over here is some of the most well-known carvings of Dom.
And there are hundreds, perhaps even thousands of carvings on the walls of that prison.
Deep carvings of, uh, the Virgin Mary with a child Jesus, rather ordinary crosses.
And one of those carvings certainly looks like that very cross.
And I would be willing to bet that you could take that and put it in the wall of the prison and it would line up perfectly.
Wow.
All it takes is one good find though.
We save the best till last.
That does sound different to me, too.
It does.
