The Oak Island Treasure - X Marks the Spot

I began my research into the Oak Island mystery with an open mind, and trying to incorporate all the historically known facts into a comprehensive solution to the mystery: who started it; what did they hide; why did they hide it; and how to retrieve it. For the most part, my focus at the beginning was where is it and how do you access it. That mushroomed into a journey going back 2000 years, and I've decided that covering it in a series of blogs doesn't do the real story justice. 

Let's just say it started with the Romans going into Viking long-discovered territory, and burying the Ark of the Covenant, and the Temple treasures they "liberated"  from Jerusalem in 380 AD. The Emperor was Constans, son of Constantine the Great. They built a Temple on Oak Island, covered it in planted English oaks from their territory in Britain, and buried the Temple treasure in a relatively small shaft near their own Temple. The Romans considered the oak tree to be the most sacred of all trees, which is why only the highest ranking amongst them wore oak leaves on their heads. As they did in all places, the Romans scattered coins there for the "protection of the gods" on their next journey over the sea. The burying of the Temple treasure was done in the name of creating the Roman Catholic Church as the sole Roman Empire religion, and to kill Judaism in Juda (Israel), as Jews had been a major destabilizing force within the Roman Empire for over a century. 

As per Zena's Map (further in), the "trove" beneath the hatch. The use of the word "trove" means a treasure collection. Notice the long rectangular shape of the shaft, which matches the rectangular shape on Zena's map:

The Templars took part of their gold treasure from the Valley of Ophir, Southern India, from it's storage place either to Cyprus (which they controlled) and then onto Oak Island, or directly to it. The Teutonic Knights, another Roman Catholic Military order, who operated out of Acre and had the largest naval force in the nearby Black Sea, assisted the Templars in moving the treasure to Oak Island. The Knights of Christ were established in Portugal shortly after the 1307 dissolution of the Templars, which was essentially a brand name change. The Knights of Christ were the group that built the harbour at Oak Island (now referred to as the "swamp"), including the sea wall that is referred to as the "stone road". They built all the water tunnels, of which there are many from all sides of the island. They also covered everything up in the late 1600's early 1700's. Meaning they buried all evidence of roads, paths, pits, tunnels, and filled in the harbour making it into a swamp. What some people believe is a ship sunk in the swamp, is just the western wall of the artificial harbour deconstructed. They also filled in the entire area around the actual burial place of their treasure - which was sea water at the time.

Both the Templars and the Romans chose the north side of the island for the location of their treasure works. It seems obvious they were trying to hide their works from prying eyes at sea. In Roman and Templar times that could only be the Vikings. In other words, they knew each other, but they did not trust the Vikings with the knowledge of their treasure. During my research on the surveying used on Oak Island, I discovered that Viking rocks, shaped deliberately to match surveying lines, were present throughout Nova Scotia, Labrador, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, and into Quebec. I also found evidence of the same surveying techniques in other places around the world. There are also plenty of Vikings symbols throughout the area, including on Oak Island. These symbols were either left by the Vikings or copied by the Knights of Christ. My belief is that many on Oak Island and area were copied from the Vikings, because there are plenty of figures right beside the spot the treasure is buried, and it wasn't the Vikings that buried it:

It seems the Vikings did a lot more surveying and navigating than they are credited for. Suffice it to say that the burial of the Temple treasure is a Roman Catholic conspiracy carried out by their military orders, who in a sense were the first organization of private military contractors in the world. They were also the first multi-national bankers in the world. In fact, the Jewish families that became multi-national banking families seem to have patterned their rise on the operations of the Templars, which they would use to undermine Catholic power and place themselves in the world power hierarchy which the Roman's had banished them from. 

Back to the treasure. The Oak Island treasure is not really all these mysterious signs and all the rest of it. Yes, the Masons who took over from the Knights of Christ, and took the western dominated world power in a different direction that we see today, like to use symbols as a mask for it. The simple truth is the Oak Island treasure is a surveying treasure. It appears the Templars and Knights of Christ used the Viking navigation stones to tie themselves into its lay out of the land and water. It is, however, very likely that the Knights of Christ continued the use of the Viking rock navigation to create maps of the eastern sea board, and the interior of Nova Scotia. To give you an idea, a survey line on Oak Island will not end at Oak Island. It continuously travels to other provinces and likely other countries. Here is an example of what I'm talking about:

The Templar (or Viking) stone I found following survey lines from Oak Island. It is located on the shore of New Brunswick:

                        (as you can see it is perfectly aligned North/South/East/West)

Another is the "Nolan's Cross" (which isn't a stand alone cross), and some, but not all survey lines:

Here is one with a significant amount of survey lines:

Some examples of these stones, large and small are shown below. Note how most of them have several straight sides, and then have a small corner missing. Some have lines carved in them. Some are three stones in a triangle. They all meet up with survey lines. It is an incredible human story in itself. Between the Vikings and the Knights of Christ/Portugal they created a wonder of the world equal to the pyramids in Egypt, but sadly goes completely undisclosed.

Viking marks (or copied marks) on Oak Island - just a sample:

Survey/Navigation rocks (just a sample):

There are, of course far too many to show, but this is a sample. It seems they were used on water, rivers, lakes, and of course on the ground. They are not simply glacial till as you realize when you start connecting them. Some are of course, but many have a navigational purpose. The danger in moving, or removing stones, is you don't know which is which until you shoot the surveying lines. Take "Nolan's Cross" for example. Firstly, there is no Nolan's Cross. The boulders on Nolan's Cross are simply line markers as is common throughout the area. Note how many are being dug up that were buried in the swamp. It is true that the head stone Nolan dug up does refer to the treasure shaft, but the cross is not a cross in the Latin cross sense or Templar cross as its often thought of. In fact, the boulders on Oak Island are simply a continuation of what's happening all over Mahone Bay. They're all interrelated. Take the only stone of Nolan's Cross that's in the water for example. It is not a one sided stone that one would draw a straight line to the head stone. It is 6 sided with additional markings on the rock that match other survey lines. It is completely misunderstood as simply being a rock of the so-called Nolan's Cross.

Now that it is established that the Oak Island mystery is centered on surveying, it's time to refer to the symbology and two ancient maps that point to the exact spot of the treasure, and the layout of the lair that lies beneath the shaft, because if you thought simply finding the treasure shaft was all that was needed you would be sorely mistaken. The underground in which the treasure lies is a virtual labyrinth of rock that resembles an underground, multi-leveled parking lot. There are many different stories to it which must be navigated in darkness by using stones put in place to navigate by. But we are getting ahead of ourselves. 

First some tracing boards:

Real goddess of Saraswathi:

I love this one, because it has many of the elements in it. It shows the Pegasus (middle right), which became synonymous with the Templars, on top of stone stairs that represent "Jacob's ladder" - only going in the reverse, ie. not to heaven. In fact that entire feature is meant to represent "the invisible mountain" or "magical mountain" in sorcery. It is the beginning of the descent to the multi-level facility below. It shows spells being cast at a spot on land and in the ocean by 9 figures, which represents the 9 times a circle must be completed to cast the spell. This is also sorcery. It also represents the work going on it the system below. Bed rock had to be heated, then doused with water and broken by pick and hammer in those days. The woman on the right is the Hindu goddess Saraswathi, made to look like a European. It means something different, but it also gives a nod to who built the underground, and that is the Indian miners from southern India - from the area of the Valley of Ophir. 

This one is interesting because it shows a sequence of events beginning at the bottom right where it shows a fire at the Temple of Peace that Roman Emperor Vespasian built after he conquered Jerusalem, which held almost all the Temple treasures (except the Ark), and they are depicted here. It shows the Ark moving over the ocean, meant to look like Noah's Ark. It shows the tools used to dig the treasure pit, and the stones that marked its spot. It shows the Ark of the Covenant being lowered to a man burying it, and it shows those involved in the plot.

This one is also interesting, because it shows the chain of custody of the treasure. It begins on the top of the mountain with King Solomon, then shows a Roman Emperor, then a Pope with his cross staff, then knights on horseback, then royal families, and finally Masons. On the left it shows two dark figures that are Indian miners, one carrying a torch and another cutting stone. This is all accurate.

There are many more such tracing boards, as these organizations were entrusted with the secret of the holy treasure over the centuries and millennia. It would be impossible to show them all here, but this gives a sample and an idea.

The next thread to find is the actual placing of the treasure. The "X" marks the spot. For that we have to look closely at maps. When I say closely, I mean we have to magnify them and use different filters to bring out the details from time to time. A good place to start is with the Zena Map. 

Zena's Map

                                                                        Zena Halpern

Zena Halpern came onto the Curse of Oak Island show for seasons 4 and 5 before she passed away. Zena studied everything Knight's Templar, which is interesting because her faith is Jewish (the story will explain why as we go). Zena presented to the Lagina brothers a map that she claimed to have discovered loosely placed in a book she found while researching the topic. The map claims to be a Templar map of Oak Island from 1347, and is sent from one "Lion Cub of Talmont" to one "Mr. Frangorska Rochefoucauld". It describes its purpose as: a "tiny bit of knowledge"; describes the process of reaching the island; obstacles to avoid; an entrance to something; and landmarks on the island. It is a fascinating glimpse into Oak Island as it existed in 1347, and the state of construction at that point in time. 

The "Lion Cub of Talmont" actually refers to Louis De La Cerda (1291-1348). He was a French naval officer, who subsequently became Admiral of the French Fleet - his rank when the map was made. In 1344 Pope Clement VI made him the Prince of Fortuna (the Canary Islands). He was the first Count of Talmont, and died on July 5, 1348 - one year after the map's date. 

Mr. Frangorska Rochefoucauld was Guy VII de Rochefoucauld, a knight and noble in west central France. He combined several small towns into one town known as Rochefoucauld. His family was known for building the first castle in the area on solid rock - hence the beginning of the name "Roche" or rock in English. After Guy VII built a Carmalite Convent in Rochefoucauld, the Bishop of the area, Bishop Aglin de Blaye, excommunicated him from the Catholic Church. The Carmalite Order was not based on any Catholic saints, which was rare, but on the Jewish prophet Elijah - hence the ex-communication. He died at the side of the King of France in the Battle of Poitiers in 1356, 9 years after Zena's map was created. The "Rochefoucauld  Grail", a hundred miniature paintings of noble life and chivalry at the time, was made in his honour. 

The map itself has come under attack by critics who claim it cannot be authentic, because the French used in it is rudimentary and sometimes wrong. They have a point, and what they say is true, but they speak from ignorance of the structure of Catholic holy orders. In the 1300's there were a number of Catholic military orders. These orders spread all over Europe. The key to understanding the authenticity of Zena's Map is the word "Frangorska". Frangorska in English means "man from the mountain".  The "mountain" part of the name is telling, but the use of the term "gorska" is of Polish origin. In the 1300's the dominant holy military order was the Teutonic Knights, with a minor order named Knights of the Cross and Red Star also existing in the area - they originated from Prague, but made their way to a small part of southern Poland. It is more likely than not that Zena's Map was a reproduction of the original for use amongst the Teutonic Knights. It gave them knowledge of the treasure, and was handed down over the years. You may think this is a stretch, but the links between the Teutonic Knights and the Masonic Order of Royal Archer Masonry are real. 

The Order of the Royal Archers was at one time the bodyguards of the Scottish King. Today it is the Order dedicated to protecting the treasure on Oak Island, specifically the Ark of the Covenant - we'll get into that later. Here is a picture of modern Royal Arch Masons getting together with modern Teutonic Knights. The Royal Arch Masons wear the Red Cross of the Templars, and the Teutonic Knights wear the Black Cross of their order:

The fact is, the Polish reproduction of the Zena Map is authentic, and the features it does and does not show, prove that. It's a picture in time - 1347. In all probability, Louis De La Cerda, the Lion Cub of Talmont, knew he was dying of an illness and wanted to share his secret with Rochefoucauld before his death at age 57, a year later. He may have succumbed to the Black Plague which was striking Europe at that time, or something he picked up from his journey to Oak Island and back. Maybe something more sinister. Finding his cause of death has been impossible, other than it was "untimely". One side note, which I will expand on later, is the term "Lion Cub of Talmont". The "Lion Cub" part of the title is not referring to Richard the Lion Hearted, as is sometimes suggested, but rather to the "Young lions of Tarshish" from the Old Testament. The young lions of Tarshish were those men that sailed the seas without fear to bring gold from southern India to Israel. The underlying preposition is that  Louis De La Cerda, a secret Templar, was transporting Ophir gold to Oak Island .

                                                            Zena's Map - 1347

The interesting part of this map, for our purposes here, is the "bassin" and the "barrage", or the swamp and the dam respectively. It shows the shape of the swamp in 1347, and it is very small in it's northern position compared to the reality of today. In fact, when using a superimposed grid system on the Oak Island portion of the map, one is able to determine exactly where the swamp was then. It also shows an oval dark spot at the end of the line indicating its a bassin. In comparison to other features on the map it indicates this spot is about 35-40 feet wide - a very big digging area. When the area is enlarged the details within the map are exposed. Take a look at the enlarged picture of the swamp area:

The map shows the dam having a cross-like beginning at the water and then a line running back to the oval feature, indicating that ocean water was being funneled toward the feature, as well as an area around the feature. Remember the cross-like dam feature. 

The FLX 157 Map:

The FLX 157 map was recently introduced in the Curse of Oak Island show as part of a book that the show wanted to buy. However, all that's really needed is the map.

The thing to note on this map is the two water bodies, one on the north and one on the south. What's clear from the map is how the Portuguese Knights created a harbour on the south side which included a slight bump where the "stone road" is and the protrusion built out into the swamp. By the way, this harbour was specifically laid out by stone as well. the light greyish colour is indicative of land in the water. In the case of the north part of the island, the water covers completely what would be Fred Nolan's house and grassed area. Also, you can see the light grey area in the shape of an upside down check mark in the middle of the water. You can see it better here:

 The light grey areas in the black areas are in fact large stones. The largest one is around 100 feet long and 50 feet wide. This area looks like this today:

This blow up of Zena's Map shows the oval spot in detail. You can clearly see the rock formation in the middle of it, which matches that shown on the FLX 157 map. Additionally, it shows the water channel between the dam and the oval area. Just to the right of the oval area is water in the form of a dolls dress. That water body remains the same shape today. 

Take aways from this are that at some point in time Nolan's land was completely filled in. It wasn't Nolan that did it as the land was filled before any houses were on it. Someone went to great lengths to hide what is underneath the land. Unfortunately for them, modern technology allows us to see through it. This spot is important, not just because it is represented on Zena's Map as a significant place, but it is shown on the FLX 157 map as the place where the shaft is located, along with some of the flood tunnels:

The red circles are the flood tunnels built into the northwestern part of Oak Island and running straight through to surround the treasure shaft. The blue circle is the treasure shaft. The cover of the shaft is represented as a large rock with a very distinctive shape. Then there is a line leading directly south to the area of the swamp that we have been discussing. The yellow circle shows a large ship which also mimics the shape of the harbour. The white circle shows the three very large camps that those working on the island, including all the labourers from southern India, stayed. The small lake to the north of them is still there. Other parts of the map leading to the left from there actually reflect their journey inland from Oak Island. There are many landmarks and of course rocks that bare this out. I have found two certain Fort-like areas in the vicinity.  A necessary key to understanding the map is to realize that each gap in the drawing means that something next to it on the drawing should be inserted there. FLX 157 by the way is the name of the tracing board used to pass this knowledge on to certain groups involved.

Using modern technology, Google Earth and filters, it is possible to narrow down exactly where the treasure shaft is, where the dam is, the pipe feeding ocean water from the dam into the treasure area is, and the massive rocks surrounding the treasure shaft. Many of these rocks appear to have inscriptions on them as well. The actual rock covering the treasure shaft appears to have a large T or perhaps "tau" on it. Here are some images that will help out with that:

The shaft is very evident here, as is the shape of the large rock covering it. The T stands out well here and the close up below. Furthermore, resting just above the covering stone is a skull shaped stone outlined in yellow below. The dam pipe heading into the treasure shaft area is also evident as a black line. (black means water) NOTE how the shape of the covering stone is just like the shape of the stone on the FLX 157 map.

In the picture below the dam is very clear as well as the cross that was detailed in the Zena Map. In addition, the stone pipe leading from the dam is also evident. It is really curious how nobody could have picked this out by now.

This picture shows the treasure shaft area in blue. You can make out the T as well as other stone carvings. Notice how the shaft is completely surrounded by very large rocks measuring 15 to 20 feet long, and of course the massive bolder to the right of the shaft.

An important part of confirming this find comes from the Masons themselves. In particularly, the Masonic Lodge in Mahone Bay that closed in 2014, the same year the Curse of Oak Island show began filming. Perhaps they didn't want the crew to see inside, but curiously they left the interior pictures of the lodge on a memorial page on the internet. There are four large pictures:

This painting shows what appears to be Aron sitting on the rocks with his staff and head pointed toward the ground. He is surrounded by, you guessed it, boulders.

This painting shows the entrance into the Holy of Holies where, behind the curtain, the Ark of the Covenant rested. I suggest that in the chambers below Oak Island a similar Temple was built to this, and that is where the Temple treasures rest.

In this painting we see King Solomon sitting on his throne. In real history his throne was white marble, and had many lions descending from it. In this case he has two lions, but he has golden "lion cubs" or young lions (circled in pink), representing the young lions of Tarshish that brought Solomon his Ophir gold. In the background is the Templar Fortress at Acre with the sun setting on it. The motto means "Let there be light". In other words, the "light" has come to a new place.

This, the final wall painting in the Masonic Lodge, is the most important of the four. It actually describes where the treasure is. 

Firstly, it shows what the area of Fred Nolan's house used to look like before it was filled over. Secondly, the oak and elm trees are present in the picture. The ancient saying is that the Templar treasure "lies between the oak tree and the elm tree". You will notice that one of the plants in a cement vase on the lower right is moved to the middle of the picture.(blue circle) Above that, and also on the left you see oak trees.(pink circle) Half way between the elm tree and the oak tree you see the partial image of a skull and below it you see the inner works of the treasure vaults (levels) (white circle). The three cows to the left (circled in gold) represent: the white cow which is sacred to the Hindus, and it looks directly at the skull; the middle red cow is sacred to the Jews, and will not drink salt water, so its back is turned to the water, because it is sea water; and the third cow's significance is unknown to me, although it also looks at the stone skull. 

The skull is important. The head stone that Nolan excavated appears skull like as well, and there is a faint outline of a skull with only one half its face being normal just above the elm tree circled in blue. As noted here already, there is a skull stone right beside the shaft entrance, although it appears to not have a jaw bone. The skull, and the cross bones, have been a symbol for the Masons, and the Templars before them. Templar ships used to raise the "jolly roger" flag when going into battle, and the pirates used the same. The three cows on the left of this picture are represented by stones on the edge of where the swamp was on Nolan's property. It seems clear that members of this Masonic Lodge, or at least some of them, knew exactly where the Temple treasure, and gold treasure, were buried. This might have been one of the reasons it closed when the Curse of Oak Island was starting up in a serious way.

The Royal Arch Masons:

The Royal Arch Masons began life as body guards for the Scottish King, but now represent a 32nd degree organization within the Masons. Their primary focus is the protection of the Temple Treasure, and in particular the Ark of the Covenant. You can do your own research on these folks. At least one, if not two have been featured on the Curse of Oak Island show. Funny enough, these guests continually push the team to investigate the Money Pit. Coincidentally, one even referred to maritime maps of navigation to draw lines directly to the money pit. One could be excused for thinking that they were directing the team to a place where they knew the Temple treasure would be secure - because it was not there.

Here is a sample of the Royal Arch Masons symbology:

The golden Royal Arch, with the stone in the centre. Below it the triple tau symbol in the centre of the Royal Arch Masonry symbol. Finally, below that the Ark of the Covenant. The message is that the Royal Arch Masons protect the Ark.

This is the hat that the guest Royal Arch Mason wore the last time he was on the show.

The Royal Arch symbol is a treasure symbol. The three taus represent the Temple treasure. The symbol itself represents a treasure map. Check this out:

The Royal Arch logo shows the massive bolder as the centre point, but it also shows three taus going in three directions from the centre. It is the authors theory that there remains a large skull-like formation that the shaft leads to, which may be a part of the massive bolder - like an iceberg. From different Masonic paintings, and from the head stone, it can be deduced that there is an entrance to the inner part of the skull near its right temple, and exiting through its mouth to the chamber below. In some ways similar to the Tom Cruise version of "The Mummy" when it was first discovered. From there the tunnels go deep into the bedrock. To prove that a little further we have to examine the head stone, and what's known as the "Seal of Solomon". 

The red sword mark points to the temple of the right eye of the skull. Note there are deep marks around the nose. This is actually there on purpose as it shows the path to the right nostril which you enter before proceeding to the mouth. This is a treasure map as well, and not just a stone rock caved for fun.

This is the Masonic version of the "Seal of Solomon". It also is a treasure map. It represents Serapis as the god of the underworld, worshipped by the Egyptians, and Dionysus as the god of the world, worshipped by the Greeks as Dionysus and as Bacchus by the Romans. Each forms a triangle with their heads and arms. Together the two triangles represent the Star of David. What appears to be a Templar Cross in the middle isn't. A close examination shows the cross is uneven. On the top it is one sided to the left. The cross is also partly hidden by both middle beards. The cross itself is an amalgamation of the Templar/Knights of Christ Cross, and the Teutonic Knights Cross. You'll notice by inward ends of the cross on the left and right, and the outward flaring at the end of the cross to the top under the white beard. The portion of the cross that goes southerly is not a part of the cross at all. The three cross ends already discussed form the three taus, or the Temple treasure. The fourth portion of the cross going southerly behind the dark beard is not shaped like a cross at all. It is shaped like the Ark of the Covenant: 

So you are aware, this Seal of Solomon was made by the Royal Arch Masons, and is signed by them. The "146" you will see below (circled in yellow) is the the number of the Royal Arch Masons founding Lodge.

The three beards in the dark area represent three tunnels. It was common practice in medieval times, and before to use three tunnels for air flow while working underground. The middle beard is shaped like, and meant to represent the invisible mountain, or magical mountain. Here is a trace board with that on, and the highlighted portion of Solomon's Seal that represents it:

This tracing board shows the Invisible Mountain at the top, which is covered in darkness below, except one part that has an Ark like table with a lantern, and a treasure below that surrounded by a snake eating its tail - ouroboros (worshiped by ancient Egyptians and up). You will note the ouroboros in the Oak Island Swamp:

The serpent in the swamp is definitely man-made. Connecting the surveying stones shows it was surveyed into place. Beneath the surface are likely rock works to form its shape. Given the tracing boards I've seen it would appear the gold part of this treasure is located in the bedrock under the swamp, accessible only through the shaft in Nolan's backyard. The original Templar entrance to it, as shown on Zena's Map, was located just east of the south eastern corner of the swamp - which then makes sense. That entrance was huge according to the map - some 5o feet wide.

This is a portion of the Seal of Solomon, where the Ark is shown, but it also shows a replication of the Invisible Mountain. (circled in blue) The author theorizes that the reason the "Invisible Mountain" is invisible is because it is underground. You have to pass through this feature to move to the massive "skull stone" as pictured here as the face of Serapis. It shows the right eye as more of an entrance than an eye... Below that are the different levels of the treasure vaults. Of note is how the right shaft/beard has a cap on it before it reaches the surface, and the left appears to be filed with boulders. Also, given the actual swamp construct is about 666 feet, expect the treasure area to be the same deep. As above so below. Of that, fully 450-500 feet would be bedrock. 

Some other tidbits:

During research, and doing the math, I was also able to fit the Star of David onto a portion of Nolan's Cross. Although many people have tried using Nolan's Cross to superimpose the Tree of Life, I would have to disagree with that. The Tree of Life does not superimpose onto Nolan's Cross without moving one of the large boulders from its current place.

Some modern technology:

              Dam construct on Lidar. (in black circle) Note the sea wall that runs from it to the west. 

        

          The treasure shaft construct and hole on Lidar. (circled in black)

         The Templar fort at New Ross was in fact there.

      The survey line to New Ross altered from the existing survey line at a river. There were survey             stones that created a branch of the line that led directly to the New Ross Fort (upper part of the             picture)

   

     The water table at the Nolan property/treasure area (top left corner):

A picture of Oak Island before any houses were built on the Nolan property. Treasure shaft area circled in blue.

The Overton Stone in Liverpool, Nova Scotia is simply a survey stone that has been marked:

Ted Nolan knew the story of the survey stones, and likely the treasure shaft location. When he joined up with the Laginas, just prior to his death, he said: "I won't stand in the way of progress anymore". So, apparently he was standing in the way of progress by keeping his knowledge to himself. His property certainly appears to be aligned very much along the lines of the survey stones:

.

The stone triangle that once existed on the shores of Oak Island is a survey mark. It likely had nothing to do with the treasure, and was more likely just another survey point in the Mahone Bay survey system. Curiously, the stone triangle resembles a triangle within the circle - just with the upper edges of the circle missing. In other words, it very much resembles the symbol of the Royal Arch Masons shown earlier here. If you were to superimpose this stone triangle from the northern tip of Nolan's Cross, the line to the left would intersect directly with the treasure shaft.

The 90 foot stone that was buried in the Money Pit (copy of) is commonly misunderstood to be some kind of Templar secret code or language to the treasure. This is false. I knew that immediately while doing my study of the surveying rocks and symbols and Oak Island and beyond. These symbols represent stone markers, that when followed lead to the the treasure. That's why the tackle was left in the tree. Those that knew what they were looking for would copy the inscription and follow the trail. Those that did not would flood the pit and have no idea what the rock meant. There is absolutely no question that these symbols are everywhere in Mahone Bay area and beyond. That's too much of a coincidence. 

 

The Ophir Valley is in southern India, 55 miles inland from the Port of Cochin where the Jews were sent in the time of Solomon - known as the Cochin Jews. This is the area that Solomon, the Templars, Knights of Christ, and finally Kingdom of Portugal took gold for their enrichment. This is where the gold treasure at Oak Island came from. The area of Kerala is the main point of interest here.

Also in Kerala is a Hindu temple known as the "Golden Temple". It is said to be the richest temple in India. It is made of gold, and has vaults buried underneath it. It is thought to have a trillion dollars worth of gold in the secret vaults underneath it. The entrance to the vaults is guarded by a curse, and more....

The door to the vaults is protected by serpents, and very importantly, Templar shields. The fleur-de-lis shields surrounded by 12 dots is a Templar stamp for the protection of the treasure within. Like Oak Island, the door entrance to the vaults is said to have been cursed. It is the author's deduction that, given the Templars and the Knights of Christ operated in this exact area, the Hindus formed an alliance with them, and this vault contains a part of the Templar gold.

Zena's Map shows a comment by the crafter stating: "the southern Indians work very good" (circled in blue). In 1347, the only Indians or people referred to as being Indians, were people in India. This is more evidence of the Indian connection, and specifically mining. Southern India had, at that time, been mining deep in bedrock for gold for at least 1000 years.

In case you might think the Masons aren't that interested in Oak Island, here is a picture of a tour of them at the Island. At least one Templar is present as well. 

The final word:

Before I sat down to investigate the mystery of Oak Island, the feeling that the Ark of the Covenant was there burned deeply inside me. I would say from the first season of the Curse of Oak Island on. Over time it became clear to me that the team was not solving the riddle, and that perhaps I should put my mind into investigating the spot where the true treasure shaft was. I prayed to the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to guide me in my research and help me find the Ark (I am not Jewish though). During my months long research one step lead to another and the answer started to take form. It brought me disturbing information surrounding the treasure - most of which I have not written here. Is there a curse on Oak Island? Yes there is. The entrances to the treasure area, one from the sea and one from the land, were cursed by black magic. The entire treasure is surrounded in evil. The burying of the Temple Treasure was an act to bury man's focus on God, and to create a "new dawn" where scientific reason would rule rather than spiritual. It has driven the world for two thousand years since. I hope you have found this informative, and I pray it helps in finding the Ark of the Covenant and the Temple Treasures. The gold is there too, but it pales in contrast. God bless you all.
