Oak Island tv show, is a well tv show. I find it interesting because the evidence they have uncovered.
No, no treasure. The archeology evidence is astounding.
We have a Roman ship wreck off shore. Complete with sword and Roman pillae that have been found. Romans in Newfoundland would be far earlier than Vikings.
We have mercury stained parchments, and wooden structures from the time of Sir Francis Bacon.
We have an entire swamp created before Columbus.
The real treasure is the information supporting theories that Europeans were in the new world way before Columbus.
“...We have an entire swamp created before Columbus....”
??
I think we had swamps before we had people!
Barry Fell originally a NZ oceanographer by academic training has said similar things. See America B.C. I find some of his claims wishful thinking but I think ancient people were more enterprising about travel then we give them credit for. Look at the Polynesians!
Oak Island - still very skeptical of their claims and the validity of their finds. Why am I that way? It’s TV - Entertainment ! Possibility of fraud is very high! Fraud for entertainment purposes would be their defense. Like pro wrestling! So my threshold on their stuff is pretty high. Still it would be cool if they are proven to be legitimate!
“We have a Roman ship wreck off shore. Complete with sword and Roman pillae that have been found. Romans in Newfoundland would be far earlier than Vikings.”
That whole situation was found to be a hoax and the banished the guy who brought it up from the island. The Pulitzer guy. He was trying to scam them and got caught.
Anyone who watches Oak Island just for the treasure is totally missing the point.
