The Curse of Oak Island: MAP DISCOVERY REVEALS HIDDEN HATCH (Part 1) (Season 4) | History

there’s no doubt
that oak island was known it was visited
in the war room rick marty and their
partners
are meeting with area historian doug
crowell
joining them on the phone is knights
templar researcher xena halbert
who has just shared with them her recent
discovery
of two maps and a cypher which she
believes
could help solve the oak island
to bring in mystery big nova scotia map
that alone is
interesting the map that’s dated in the
upper right-hand corner
seems to be dated in 1179.
yes it’s the roman numerals 1179.
it definitely shows oak island on the
line
with the latitude 4647
and then there’s another dot above it
it’s on the line that says
to me it suggests new ross and i think
most people here are familiar with the
idea that henry sinclair came over
to nova scotia in 1398
and perhaps settled in the new ross area
the town of new ross in nova scotia is
believed by some
to have been the location of an ancient
templar fortress
built in the late 1300s by scottish
templar knight prince henry sinclair
after his journey to oak island
but could it be that sinclair’s reported
journey
occurred more than 200 years after the
first templars
visited the area and if so
might there be a connection between new
ross and templar activity on oak island
so we have your map that shows nova
scotia
and we have a map that seems to be a
french map of oak island
yes this oak island map that you’re
showing us
it seems to indicate that that someone
came here in
1347. yes the 1347
map this is an extremely
interesting map there’s one section
over to the left 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 well that
clearly correlates to the swamp on the
nolan side of the island also delineated
is something called the marsh and that
would be the swamp proper
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 is called the valve and one’s called
the hatch
where it says the hatch in the mcginnis
family there seems to be some stories
that
about this hatch yeah one of the uncles
he said basically there’s a hatch you
only have to think of spade to find
and that once you do don’t get lost down
there
okay but i think we should try and find
out
some way of verifying these documents i
mean rick
don’t you want to go dig up the hatch no
question about it
looking at these maps you have a series
of things that correlate perfectly
with the island as we know it and then
you have things that we’ve never heard
of
so of course we want to search for them
the story of this i i believe is
multi-layered and very complex so i want
to continue down this road
but there’s a lot more work to be done
on yeah
you know i’m not sure that zina’s
research is going to lead to answers
but this whole place is all about rumor
conjecture
supposition hope belief
and so she has a theory which uniquely
is backed up by documentation and i
surely would regret not following up on
this research
xena we want to thank you for talking
with us thank you gina
bye bye-bye thanks it’s very interesting
doug thank you very much
you
