oak island, the longest running snoozefest around (Yes I’ve watched every episode lol)
Getting mighty tired of the “Could this writing on the rock indicated that Templars slept here on oak island on a stormy night In the middle of may in the year ...” (Gee, I don’t know Mr Narrator man- how about you just tell us whether it does or not, and stop with the drama?)- and getting tired of watching a whole hour of show only to know nothing more than what the preview blurb shows for next week’s show-
Ugggh- Find something significant already- a couple of years of searching to find only a few marked stones, a coupel of coins and a sword just aint cutting it entertainment wise
Alas, I agree. I’m drawn to these shows, most recently Expeditions Unknown on Travel Channel. Unfortunately, the answer to “Is this the long-lost....” is always “no.”
They did find something significant this week and they glossed over it. Those rocks that they took from the concrete in the old museum were very telling. One piece had a hooked X.
The Hooked X is a secret symbol first found on an inscribed slab of rock, dated 1362, unearthed by a farmer in Minnesota in 1898.
The key unlocking this information is the mysterious “hooked X,†which not only appears on the Kensington Rune Stone, but among several other runic texts in Europe and pre-Columbian North America. The hooked X symbol is an important coded runic symbol likely created by Cistercian monks. The ‘X’ is symbolic of the allegorical representation of the duality and balance of man and woman, and heaven and earth. The ‘hook’ in the X is symbolic of the child or offspring, representative of the continuation and perpetuation of the ‘Goddess’ ideology through common bloodlines and thought.â€
The Oak Island treasure is so obviously a runaway legend...
Two kids bored out of their minds, 200 years ago.
They see some marks on the limb of an oak tree, looks like block and tackle was once there.
A small apparent depression in the ground under the limb looks like what remains of a large hole that was filled in.
Okay, in the 1960s one of the treasure hunters used earthmoving equipment to gouge out a huge open-pit hole in the island down to great depth, found shredded timbers — not unlike the ice-age strata in colder climates — and not one other danged thing suggestive of treasure, tunnels, etc.
So, the ‘technology’ used by the alleged people hiding the alleged two million British pounds of treasure must have been really advanced, some really advanced engineering must have been involved. Coconut fiber, tunnels, a self-flooding booby trap that still works, the skeleton of a slave still in chains in an underground room...
That’s why they originally used the limb of an oak tree that couldn’t have been much more than a couple of hundred years old when the kids dreamed up this fantasy — because they were so advanced.
Someone wanted to sell the island, which is basically worth squat. “It’s such-and-such number of acres, has water, trees, grazing, oh, and there’s a two million British pound treasure over that way somewhere, also we get a good yield off the grain field, and we have good proximity to-” “Wait, back up. Did you say treasure?” ****ing realtors, they’re the same everywhere.
History Channel has obviously learned to back projects that by their very nature will proceed slowly and which are process orientated rather than just a big reveal.
This way even if they find nothing they avoid the mockery heaped on Geraldo Rivera for Capone’s “vault” as the journey has been the show, not the destination.
I feel the same way, then I thought imagine how they feel hitting nothing but teasers and dead ends . . . and paying for it! I appreciate them going through the aggravation of putting it on as a show so we can participate in their search and exasperation.
