      I know that maybe Canadians or the Can. gov. may not invest in finding anything, but if that is the case, then it should just stay hidden until Canada WAS ready to look OR some foreign country who TRULY believes some important item of theirs may be hidden there pays for excavations - & Canada gets anything that comes out if it doesn't belong to the foreign country.

      The The Nights Templer and Vikings have nothing to do with each other. The The Nights Templar was forms to protect Christians and to regain lands back from Islam concurring, first based out of France. Vikings, which were from Netherlands, focused more on England Lands than anywhere else but when it comes to Vikings, very little history is known of them since they did not write things down or could read. Many of the shows on Vikings are fictional / legend for entertainment purpose.

    Spotted Lake!!!! My savior! Several years ago while at UBC in Kelowna, BC. I took a job-fighting wildland forest fire, I was the skip for my 6-pack brigade when my Supervisor who was First Nation from the area. He felt so sorry for me that he almost cried when I showed him what my skin looked like under my Fireproof gear. Psoriasis was so bad, that I was cracking and bleeding at all my joints. On our way back to the base for our 5-day break, he got me to take a detour, and after stopping for him to buy a case of mason jars. We parked and he went somewhere by himself. He filled 12 jars and was about to tell me something, I stopped him...offered him some of my sacred homegrown tobacco. His eyes lit up that I knew how to accept his gift! I didn't wait, I went into the bush then and there to dab that water on my lesions. It stung like salt on an open wound for sure. Took almost half an hour to settle down but the comfort I felt for the rest of the 10-hour drive was un-explainable. Overnight my lesions scabbed over. On our way back to the fire, I showed him my arms...he was visibly touched to see how I'd improved. The next day, I was right back to being completely covered in lesions again but worst, I couldn't even stand on my feet and it was deemed unsafe for me to go out into the line of fire, I had to go to the hospital. Turned out I didn't have Psoriasis...I am allergic to wheat...WHEAT? I had one Camp Meal💔No not Celiac, that's Gluten. I can eat Barley and other things that have Gluten but I can't even touch wheat and it's in everything as a filler, So after living with the condition for almost 50 years, thanks to Spotted Lake, I found out why my body was revolting through my skin. Had to share, the moral of my story, "Mother Nature truly does provide us with the "Greatest and Most Powerful Antibiotics"

    I'm a geologist. Here's why we can't date some stone structures that humans make. If we dated the rocks we would simply get the date of the rock. Not the date the rocks were moved. To accurately date something like that we would need some date able materials. Like a garbage pit dug near the site. But in those days they were likely to give waste to pigs. Or something like a racoon or bear could dig it up making dating it impossible. If we found a latrine used by the workers or a garbage pit of the inhabitants we could make a much better theory on what it was used for and when it was made. This structure doesn't seem to be held toggle with mortar or anything else that may have date able materials in it so finding construction materials or garbage would be obe of the only ways to date it.

      If you were a historian too, you could have an idea of when a wall like that would likely have been made without any type of mortar in Canada (possibly) or which cultures of people would make a structure in that type of shape ie. Native, British, French, Viking etc. I think there is even a way to tell how tall a structure was somehow with how it is built. This could give you an idea on who built it too. A Viking would have needed a much taller structure than a French person for example.

Some have theorized that the "treasurer" is from Captain Kidd; I've also heard writing of Sir Francis Bacon. Several other commenters have pointed to the TV show and they've found some very interesting items - including some from the Knight's Templar.

      NEITHER of these are ACTUAL castles though - as they were NOT built for a Royal House or any of their designates - to be a base of defence of the area nor a safe haven for the region's inhabitants in case of attack either. They were simply built as homes for wealthy families - to LOOK like castles.

    The last place I lived before I left home was about two kilometers from Spotted Lake. III It is an alkali slough, and has spots all year round not just the summer like the story said. The mud is very healthy, and a spa was going to be set up before the natives intervened. At the time, the natives did not own the land at all, but they raised such a fuss about it being a sacred site, and with the backing of the non natives it became so. It is easy to see as you drive by on the highway. There is fencing in the area mostly to keep the cattle off the highway! The fencing has been there for many years. Ohh, and the lake has 365 spots, which is part of what makes it sacred.

    Sooo, about that crooked bush story...my family homesteaded (then farmed) there since around 1910. There is more to this story. First hand, I was told there were sightings of flying objects and landings at the bushes, which were not crooked at the time. Also seen by farmers, men from the aircraft did urinate in the bushes. After that, some trees lost some characteristics of phototropism and gravitropism, which causes growth toward light and opposite to gravity. When the area became developed these sightings stopped. Some people comment that because the aircraft made no engine noise there must have been an anti-gravity device in use, which messed up the trees' DNA. Personally I don't get too involved in Alien theories, the existence of silent vertical takeoff and landing aircraft pre-1920 is perplexing enough!

      I was thinking of a few possibilities (in theory.)
      1- is that there really is a genetic mutation & it would affect any "children" the tree had. (This doesn't go with the info you are providing though.)
      2- (I guess it IS possible it was from aliens - as the universe [& beyond] is too big for us at this point to really know much about & it IS possible that there is/are more advanced species out there than us. It is NOT where my brain is going on this, quite likely because we are not "programmed" to consider this possibility very seriously.)
      3 - that the area WAS being used by our (or even the American - with or without Canada's permission) military - as a "secret" site (if not very inhabited)
      - to try out potential new - either space craft OR military craft, with vehicles landing in the area (on the trees - so as NOT to leave a "footprint" behind on the ground.) Possibly these landings or else maybe emissions from whatever the crafts give off ie. whatever type of engine fuel fumes or even the material used in the construction of the crafts caused these deformations. If this is the case & they are "secret" operations to test potential new craft - the government ISN'T going to say so. (If an "alien" was seen peeing on a tree, I don't think that it is likely to have spread to any other trees as the amount of urine would be pretty small. I think [while it is POSSIBLE a person saw an alien], that what a person MOST LIKELY saw was some HUMAN in an advanced form of space suit or military suit with head protection (for war) being tested also. I don't even think that if a person was being used to fly these secret craft & got an illness from the materials - like radiation poisoning - that there would be enough coming out in the urine to affect more than a little of the 1st tree, never mind end up passing anything on to the surrounding trees.
      4 - that some company at some point illegally dumped some chemicals in the ground & that caused the trees to grow deformed. It is possible that the "alien" was someone in a hazard suit looking into the situation (& believing no harm would come to him, allowed himself to "relieve" himself on some already infected trees - that were only starting to show some signs of a problem that MOST people wouldn't pick up - except experts from the chemical company or the government who were SPECIFICALLY LOOKING to see if a problem would come up
      I don't know if any of my thoughts are true or truly make sense. It is just what I have come up with.

    The Bayer's Lake mystery walls, 10 mins away, had nothing to do with anything military. It's too small. They dated some of the lichen on the rocks and came up with a date of around 1790. In 1790 there were no settlements, no developments, no interest, no useable land, in that area -- outskirts of Halifax. If anything, it looks like a highland croft.
    Tyler, Oak Island is very real. I spent a night camping out on it when I was 15. Been into it since then. It was part of my commentary as a tour guide for 15 years. I just turned 60. In 1795, 16-year-old Daniel McGinnis was on Oak Island and he came across a big 'ol oak tree. A tattered rope and half-rotted block & tackle hung from a lower branch, and over a slight depression in the ground. He left and later returned with two friends, John Smith and Anthony Vaughn. They were kids who saw something to do, and followed their imagination. As they dug, they encountered a layer of small logs fit tightly together, like a floor or platform. They hit one every 10 feet. They gave up after the third one. What followed was numerous individuals, groups, and companies were formed to find the loot. In 1803 they found and odd, flat, rectangular stone about 18 X 12 inches at the 90-foot level. When they removed it, they found on its other side, and message written in odd symbols. No one's been able to translate it and the last time it was seen was in a bookshop in Halifax in the early 1900's. The last supposed location of it was in a Masonic lodge in Truro, Nova Scotia about 50 or so years ago. As other attempts were made, they all failed do booby traps that cause the shaft to fill with seawater from 5 box tunnels that lead from Smith's Cove, about 500 ft away. The current attempt by the Lagina Brothers from Michigan, is out of this world. They've been at it for 10 years and have spent millions. Their show, The Curse of Oak Island is in its 11th season on the History Channel. You need to watch it. Don't buy into what the narrator says.

    For Oak Island, not sure how much truth there is to the story, but supposedly two people dug up a stone tablet there that was wrapped up in I want to say palm leaves buried there in like the late 1700s to early 1800s. If this is true the tablet has been lost and it couldn’t have come from Canada since I’m pretty sure we don’t have Palm trees growing outside in Canada but if we do I’m pretty sure they were introduced from somewhere else and aren’t actually native.

  • @rorydakin8048
    @rorydakin8048 2 місяці тому

    One interesting FACT about Oak Island is that a freeman (freed slave) who's name escapes me (Jiles or Gyles Corey?) moved to the island and bought a patch of land to cabbage farm, that patch of land contained "The Money Pit", 5 years later he was one of the richest men in North America!
    It's highly likely while cabbage farming he stumbled upon a pirate stash, and legends arose about the nature of the treasure and if it was all found.
    "The Money Pit" excavations are well documented, including remains of timber scaffolding and timber "floors" every 15 or 20 feet, the furthest depth reached was 150 ft or so, before a horizontal shaft opened up and flooded the area with seawater, which prevented any further exploration (and killed a bunch of laborers). More recently the timber remains were tested and found to have pitch tar on almost every sample, suggesting the timber was repurposed from several different large sailboats.
    So there's lots of intrigue surrounding the island, even though it's likely that whatever treasure was there has been found, artifacts like roman gold and silver coins and pendants have been discovered on the surface from time to time, suggesting that Europeans from the Crusades Era have been to that island, which led to the speculation that the vast treasures that disappeared during the crusades ended up there.
    I believe there's also some reference to the hiding the crusaders artifacts at the heart of a giant elephant, Oak Island has a stark resemblance to an elephant, and the money pit is right where the heart would be, but I don't know if their any real basis to those claims or if they were made up after the fact.

There have also been carvings found connected to symbols of the Templars .

    The history behind Oak Island is quite extensive, even including one of your Presidents who did treasure hunting on the island for a number of years. Maybe things have been found on the island as well over the years. Most notably that I can remember is an old Templar cross that would of been on a necklace and also found 2 pieces of human bone like 150 feet deep in the ground. One being European descent, the other Middle Eastern. Worth a look into if you're interested in treasure hunting stuff at all.

I've been several times and I think it has to do with what you want to believe. There are plenty of eerie noises in the area and with it being pitch black (after your match goes out) certainly you can hear screaming. It's kind of a right of passage for locals or a way to scare your date...lol

    Captain Kidd's treasure is supposed to be there. He is supposed to have placed a curse on it saying that the treasure would never be claimed until there were no more oak trees on Oak Island and a specific number of people had died trying to recover it. At the time I was at the tourist bureau (late 70s), there were only 3 oak trees left on the island and only one more person had to die trying to recover the treasure
    Then there is the tv show about people trying to recover the treasure. I don't watch it, but my ex did. They have lowered a camera into the pit and seen the treasure on said camera. Idk if there are any updates since I have been no contact with my ex for 6 years
