The mystery of
oak Island begun 1795 when a 16 year old boy was out
fishing on the island.
When he walked across it he found a
clearing, and on it there was an old oak that had
some strange marks. And beneath it
there was a depression, about 4.8 m in diameters.
Because of the pirate tales he had
heard when he was a child.
He believed that it was a buried
pirate treasure there.Cos' he thought that the marks
on the oak,
came from some kind of makeshift
crane.And the depression was the top of a treasure
pit.
He went back to the mainland, to
talk to his friends about the discovery.
They returned to the island whit
picks and shovels and began to dig.
At 1.2 m they found flagstones and
at 3, 6 and 9 m there was packed logs
But unfortunately no treasure. So,
the returned home
But they promised each other that
they would return.
Later one they returned and begun to
dig again and one the way to about 27 m.
They found 3 oak platforms with
coconut fibre and putty,1 with just oak and so on
At 27.4 m they found a stone with an
inscription translated to:
“Forty Feet Below Two Million Pounds Are Buried”
But the odd thing with the stone is that it
wasn’t from the island and that part of Canada
But the stone is lost. So it’s hard to know if the
translation is right
and if the stone really exists (just my own reflection
on the matter).
Over the years they have been many attempts
to find the treasure, in the so cald “Money Pit”
But they have all failed.One of the problems is that
there is some kind of tunnel system.
That floods the pit with seawater.
That’s how the mystery of
Oak Island at the eastern coast of
Nova Scotia, in Canada begun.
Some says it’s a pirate treasure other that the Holy
Grail is buried there.
But no one has ever found out what’s underneath.
