1
00:00:00,921 --> 00:00:03,375
Tonight on
The Curse of Oak Island...
2
00:00:03,500 --> 00:00:04,792
We're following all the clues
3
00:00:04,917 --> 00:00:06,042
where they lead.
4
00:00:06,208 --> 00:00:07,625
Hey, guys,
come take a look at this.
5
00:00:07,708 --> 00:00:09,000
Fantastic.
6
00:00:09,167 --> 00:00:11,917
Holy cow.
This is frickin' impressive.
7
00:00:12,042 --> 00:00:14,417
I've never seen anything
like this on the island.
8
00:00:14,542 --> 00:00:16,000
We found this on Oak Island.
9
00:00:16,125 --> 00:00:17,125
It's very old.
10
00:00:17,208 --> 00:00:18,542
Probably a thousand years old.
11
00:00:18,708 --> 00:00:20,458
- Wow.
- Wow.
12
00:00:20,542 --> 00:00:22,262
We are at the
bottom of the Money Pit shaft.
13
00:00:22,292 --> 00:00:24,417
And very close
to the actual treasure
14
00:00:24,542 --> 00:00:26,062
- of the Money Pit.
- Absolutely amazing.
15
00:00:26,167 --> 00:00:27,417
- How about that?
- Wow.
16
00:00:27,542 --> 00:00:28,625
Oh, baby.
17
00:00:30,917 --> 00:00:34,167
There is an
island in the North Atlantic
18
00:00:34,292 --> 00:00:36,583
where people have
been looking for
19
00:00:36,708 --> 00:00:40,833
an incredible treasure
for more than 200 years.
20
00:00:40,917 --> 00:00:43,500
So far, they have
found a stone slab
21
00:00:43,625 --> 00:00:46,000
with strange symbols
carved into it...
22
00:00:47,250 --> 00:00:50,292
man-made workings
that date to medieval times,
23
00:00:50,375 --> 00:00:54,792
and a lead cross whose
origin may be connected
24
00:00:54,875 --> 00:00:55,875
to the Knights Templar.
25
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,750
To date, six men have died
26
00:00:58,875 --> 00:01:01,542
trying to solve the mystery.
27
00:01:01,708 --> 00:01:06,833
And according to legend,
one more will have to die
28
00:01:06,958 --> 00:01:09,375
before the treasure
can be found.
29
00:01:22,375 --> 00:01:23,167
When this first
project was started...
30
00:01:23,250 --> 00:01:24,708
- Hey, guys.
- Oh!
31
00:01:24,833 --> 00:01:27,333
- Oh, look at you.
- Charles.
32
00:01:27,458 --> 00:01:29,375
Got your Sunday
going-to-meeting clothes on.
33
00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:31,667
I got my Sunday
go-to-meeting clothes on, yeah.
34
00:01:31,792 --> 00:01:33,250
It's a pretty exciting day.
35
00:01:33,375 --> 00:01:35,583
For brothers
Rick and Marty Lagina,
36
00:01:35,708 --> 00:01:39,042
their partner Craig Tester
and their entire team,
37
00:01:39,208 --> 00:01:41,792
the dawn of another
day on Oak Island
38
00:01:41,917 --> 00:01:43,833
brings renewed anticipation
39
00:01:43,958 --> 00:01:46,208
for a major
breakthrough discovery
40
00:01:46,333 --> 00:01:48,500
that could help solve
a 228-year-old mystery.
41
00:01:48,583 --> 00:01:51,542
- This is a dream, isn't it?
- It's a dream,
42
00:01:51,708 --> 00:01:53,542
and I want to thank
you both, a-and Rick,
43
00:01:53,708 --> 00:01:56,083
for the opportunity for
allowing me to do this.
44
00:01:56,208 --> 00:01:58,458
Roger, is he gonna,
you know, is he gonna
45
00:01:58,583 --> 00:02:00,684
- meet the grade here? Can he do this?
- Well, I don't know.
46
00:02:00,708 --> 00:02:02,833
But yeah, I-I think
he'll be able to cut it.
47
00:02:02,917 --> 00:02:04,417
Absolutely.
48
00:02:04,542 --> 00:02:06,167
- How deep are we?
- So, right now,
49
00:02:06,292 --> 00:02:07,892
we finally found the
bottom of the shaft.
50
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,583
The bottom of our
shaft is at 82 feet,
51
00:02:09,708 --> 00:02:12,667
just a little over 82 feet,
so there is no more timber.
52
00:02:12,792 --> 00:02:15,042
Although the
bitter North Atlantic winter
53
00:02:15,208 --> 00:02:17,667
is fast approaching,
the reconstruction
54
00:02:17,792 --> 00:02:20,208
of the Garden Shaft
in the Money Pit area
55
00:02:20,375 --> 00:02:24,042
is nearing completion, meaning
that a legendary treasure
56
00:02:24,167 --> 00:02:27,000
people have been
searching for since 1795
57
00:02:27,125 --> 00:02:29,500
may soon be within their reach.
58
00:02:29,583 --> 00:02:31,667
Charles,
you're going below ground
59
00:02:31,792 --> 00:02:33,125
on Oak Island, man.
60
00:02:33,208 --> 00:02:35,750
Yeah, I know. It's a
pretty select group.
61
00:02:35,875 --> 00:02:38,500
Yeah. Well, I want to know if
your, uh, Spidey-sense tingles
62
00:02:38,583 --> 00:02:41,000
- when you get down there.
- If I pick up any gold sig...
63
00:02:41,083 --> 00:02:43,125
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- signals?
64
00:02:43,250 --> 00:02:44,542
You'd be the first to know.
65
00:02:44,667 --> 00:02:46,667
Okay. All right. Let's
get this show on the road.
66
00:02:46,792 --> 00:02:49,667
Yeah. We'll go to the camera
and keep an eye on them.
67
00:02:49,833 --> 00:02:52,667
It has been five
long months since representatives
68
00:02:52,750 --> 00:02:56,250
from Dumas Contracting
Limited began rebuilding
69
00:02:56,375 --> 00:02:58,958
this 82-foot-deep
dilapidated feature,
70
00:02:59,042 --> 00:03:01,792
which, thanks to
scientific testing
71
00:03:01,875 --> 00:03:03,917
of wood and water samples,
72
00:03:04,042 --> 00:03:07,375
has proven to contain
high-trace evidence of gold.
73
00:03:07,542 --> 00:03:11,333
However, it also appears
to be sitting above a tunnel
74
00:03:11,500 --> 00:03:14,458
some 95 feet deep
running due west
75
00:03:14,542 --> 00:03:18,042
toward the so-called Baby
Blob, where water testing
76
00:03:18,167 --> 00:03:20,375
in numerous boreholes
has suggested
77
00:03:20,542 --> 00:03:24,125
that the fabled Money Pit
treasure vault could be located.
78
00:03:24,208 --> 00:03:25,625
Wow.
79
00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:28,000
When Rick asked
members of the team
80
00:03:28,125 --> 00:03:30,250
who wanted to actually
go underground,
81
00:03:30,375 --> 00:03:33,250
I think my hand was probably
the first one that went up.
82
00:03:33,375 --> 00:03:35,667
To me, it's very personal
to go down there.
83
00:03:35,792 --> 00:03:37,667
And that's the whole
idea of us being here,
84
00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:40,333
to find this thing,
not only for us,
85
00:03:40,417 --> 00:03:42,500
but for everybody
that came before us.
86
00:03:42,625 --> 00:03:45,125
- Is this him?
- Yeah. That's them.
87
00:03:45,208 --> 00:03:46,917
- That was quick.
- Yeah.
88
00:03:47,042 --> 00:03:48,833
Now, after completing
89
00:03:48,917 --> 00:03:52,833
specialized safety training,
Charles Barkhouse is inspecting
90
00:03:52,958 --> 00:03:54,833
the nearly completed
bottom section, or set,
91
00:03:54,917 --> 00:03:59,000
of the structure, in order
to help the team determine
92
00:03:59,125 --> 00:04:00,792
how the Garden
Shaft may be related
93
00:04:00,917 --> 00:04:03,833
to the possible treasure
tunnel beneath it.
94
00:04:03,958 --> 00:04:06,042
Very cool.
95
00:04:06,167 --> 00:04:08,167
Wow.
96
00:04:08,292 --> 00:04:10,292
Holy God.
97
00:04:15,583 --> 00:04:16,708
Wow.
98
00:04:21,125 --> 00:04:22,725
This timber
you see right here, that's...
99
00:04:22,875 --> 00:04:25,292
- that's the last original piece.
- That right down there?
100
00:04:25,417 --> 00:04:26,851
Yeah. You got noth... no
more timber below that.
101
00:04:26,875 --> 00:04:29,708
- No more timber below that?
- No.
102
00:04:29,875 --> 00:04:32,042
And this is the corner
that was sinking all along.
103
00:04:32,167 --> 00:04:33,351
- Right, yeah, I see that. Yeah, you can...
- You can see the angle
104
00:04:33,375 --> 00:04:35,667
- right here.
- You could... Yeah.
105
00:04:35,792 --> 00:04:37,750
Wow.
106
00:04:37,875 --> 00:04:40,292
I'm curious
what made this corner sink.
107
00:04:40,375 --> 00:04:42,708
You know? There is
something beyond this corner.
108
00:04:42,875 --> 00:04:46,667
There is a tunnel or something
that caused this corner to sink.
109
00:04:46,750 --> 00:04:50,208
The question is why was
so much activity in this area
110
00:04:50,333 --> 00:04:51,750
that we know nothing about?
111
00:04:51,875 --> 00:04:54,042
The good thing is,
we can get down there,
112
00:04:54,208 --> 00:04:56,667
and there is a ton of things
that can be done from this.
113
00:04:56,750 --> 00:04:58,708
Well, we can drill
from the bottom, right?
114
00:04:58,875 --> 00:05:00,833
Yeah. So, we will do
some probe drilling,
115
00:05:00,958 --> 00:05:03,667
to see if we can try
and intercept this tunnel.
116
00:05:03,792 --> 00:05:05,792
Dumas is about
to begin probe drilling.
117
00:05:05,875 --> 00:05:09,000
I don't know exactly what
to expect, but I'm hoping
118
00:05:09,125 --> 00:05:10,708
for treasure itself.
119
00:05:10,833 --> 00:05:12,433
Maybe, uh, find this
tunnel that could be
120
00:05:12,542 --> 00:05:14,583
a tunnel to an offset chamber.
121
00:05:14,708 --> 00:05:16,875
This is unexplored
ground for us,
122
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,250
and it should be interesting.
123
00:05:18,375 --> 00:05:20,000
So, when do we start drilling?
124
00:05:20,125 --> 00:05:21,333
As soon as we get this set in.
125
00:05:21,458 --> 00:05:23,667
This side here is not done.
126
00:05:23,750 --> 00:05:25,625
Hey,
Charles. Surface to Charles.
127
00:05:25,750 --> 00:05:26,958
Do you read me?
128
00:05:29,375 --> 00:05:31,667
Go ahead, Marty.
129
00:05:31,792 --> 00:05:34,167
Okay, you know what I'm
gonna say. Where's the gold?
130
00:05:34,292 --> 00:05:35,958
Uh, I wish I could, Marty.
131
00:05:36,083 --> 00:05:38,143
I wish I could tell you
where it is, but it... I'll tell you,
132
00:05:38,167 --> 00:05:39,750
it's-it's pretty
amazing down here.
133
00:05:39,875 --> 00:05:41,375
Well, Charles,
134
00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:42,667
- I
- want to get down there,
135
00:05:42,750 --> 00:05:44,458
and I will, in the
next couple days.
136
00:05:44,583 --> 00:05:46,750
And-and, but-but
really, let's face it,
137
00:05:46,875 --> 00:05:49,833
the, uh, utility of this
thing has yet to be proven.
138
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,000
But I'm hopeful that it will be.
139
00:05:53,083 --> 00:05:55,167
Me, too, Marty. It's time.
140
00:05:55,333 --> 00:05:57,000
All right. Come on up.
141
00:05:57,083 --> 00:05:58,833
You can't live down there.
142
00:05:58,917 --> 00:06:01,000
Okay, coming up.
143
00:06:01,083 --> 00:06:04,333
I got to do my
training, um, but couple days,
144
00:06:04,417 --> 00:06:06,542
- I'm gonna be down there.
- Absolutely.
145
00:06:06,708 --> 00:06:08,184
- I'll be more than glad to take you down.
- All right, perfect.
146
00:06:08,208 --> 00:06:09,667
That's a... It's a date.
147
00:06:09,750 --> 00:06:11,917
- It's a date. Exactly. Yeah.
- All right.
148
00:06:12,042 --> 00:06:15,167
As the
reconstruction of the Garden Shaft
149
00:06:15,333 --> 00:06:18,333
continues in the Money Pit area,
150
00:06:18,458 --> 00:06:23,167
nearly 4,000 miles to
the east, in Rome, Italy...
151
00:06:25,917 --> 00:06:27,750
- Buongiorno. Rick.
- Nice to meet you.
152
00:06:27,875 --> 00:06:31,708
Rick Lagina, along
with his nephews Alex and Peter,
153
00:06:31,875 --> 00:06:35,250
Doug Crowell and
researcher Emiliano Sacchetti,
154
00:06:35,375 --> 00:06:40,042
are meeting with
numismatist Umberto Moruzzi.
155
00:06:40,208 --> 00:06:42,417
Do you have a specialty
in the, like, a certain coin
156
00:06:42,542 --> 00:06:44,625
or a certain era?
157
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,625
- Okay.
- That's really why we're here,
158
00:06:51,708 --> 00:06:53,458
because we're trying
to understand the story
159
00:06:53,583 --> 00:06:55,667
about Oak Island.
160
00:06:55,750 --> 00:07:00,167
Here there's another
amazing underground cave system.
161
00:07:00,292 --> 00:07:02,458
For the past week,
162
00:07:02,542 --> 00:07:05,000
Rick and the team have
been visiting ancient sights
163
00:07:05,125 --> 00:07:08,625
to investigate the theory
of the late Zena Halpern,
164
00:07:08,750 --> 00:07:11,958
who believed that between
the 12th and 14th centuries...
165
00:07:12,083 --> 00:07:13,583
Wow.
166
00:07:13,708 --> 00:07:15,348
members of the
medieval Christian order
167
00:07:15,417 --> 00:07:17,500
known as the Knights Templar
168
00:07:17,625 --> 00:07:20,750
transported sacred,
religious treasures from Italy
169
00:07:20,875 --> 00:07:24,000
and other European
strongholds to Oak Island.
170
00:07:24,125 --> 00:07:25,417
- Hey, Rick.
- Hmm?
171
00:07:25,542 --> 00:07:27,667
- Check this out.
- That's cool.
172
00:07:27,750 --> 00:07:30,000
We have seen this symbol
before, on Oak Island.
173
00:07:30,167 --> 00:07:32,667
- H+O Stone.
- Yeah.
174
00:07:32,750 --> 00:07:36,375
So far, they have
found numerous Templar carvings
175
00:07:36,500 --> 00:07:38,375
in ancient cave systems
176
00:07:38,500 --> 00:07:42,250
that have also been
found on or near the island.
177
00:07:42,375 --> 00:07:44,542
And incredibly,
one of those sites,
178
00:07:44,708 --> 00:07:46,958
located in the town of Camerano,
179
00:07:47,042 --> 00:07:50,833
features a labyrinth
matching the exact shape
180
00:07:50,958 --> 00:07:53,667
of the 14th-century lead
cross that was unearthed
181
00:07:53,833 --> 00:07:58,000
at Smith's Cove back in 2017.
182
00:07:58,167 --> 00:08:00,250
Well, hopefully today,
183
00:08:00,375 --> 00:08:02,292
there will be an
unraveling of our story.
184
00:08:02,375 --> 00:08:04,542
Yes. We've found
185
00:08:04,708 --> 00:08:08,542
several coins on the island
that seem very out of place to us.
186
00:08:08,667 --> 00:08:11,583
Today, the
team has asked Umberto
187
00:08:11,708 --> 00:08:13,625
to examine the Roman half-coin
188
00:08:13,708 --> 00:08:16,875
found earlier
this year on Lot 5,
189
00:08:17,042 --> 00:08:19,500
along with another
metal artifact
190
00:08:19,583 --> 00:08:21,833
that was unearthed on Lot 7,
191
00:08:21,917 --> 00:08:25,500
to see if his findings might
help to further validate
192
00:08:25,667 --> 00:08:28,083
Zena Halpern's
incredible theory.
193
00:08:35,958 --> 00:08:40,458
It could be half a Roman
coin from the fourth century.
194
00:08:41,833 --> 00:08:42,833
Wow.
195
00:08:54,083 --> 00:08:56,833
In his opinion,
this could be the original one.
196
00:08:56,917 --> 00:08:59,000
Look.
197
00:08:59,083 --> 00:09:03,708
They have been
in circulation for centuries.
198
00:09:03,875 --> 00:09:08,333
And we could expect to find
this up to the medieval times.
199
00:09:08,500 --> 00:09:09,875
Wow.
200
00:09:11,875 --> 00:09:13,375
How do you explain
201
00:09:13,542 --> 00:09:16,667
a Roman half-coin on Oak Island?
202
00:09:16,792 --> 00:09:20,167
This is one of the earliest
artifacts found on Oak Island.
203
00:09:20,250 --> 00:09:21,833
That's huge.
204
00:09:21,958 --> 00:09:24,333
I don't know what to
make of it quite yet.
205
00:09:24,417 --> 00:09:25,833
Doug, I think...
206
00:09:25,958 --> 00:09:27,375
- next-next one up?
- Yes. Yes.
207
00:09:27,542 --> 00:09:30,292
We have another item.
208
00:09:30,375 --> 00:09:33,208
We're wondering if, uh,
Umberto can have a look at it.
209
00:09:53,125 --> 00:09:55,667
So, uh, it-it...
That's not a coin.
210
00:09:57,667 --> 00:10:00,250
Uh, it's made out of
bronze and it's very old.
211
00:10:00,375 --> 00:10:02,500
According to Umberto,
212
00:10:02,583 --> 00:10:05,083
uh, probably a
thousand years old.
213
00:10:06,708 --> 00:10:09,167
- Wow.
- Wow.
214
00:10:15,125 --> 00:10:16,565
It's-it's a bit more
than four grams.
215
00:10:23,667 --> 00:10:25,708
He's saying, uh, this could be
216
00:10:25,833 --> 00:10:27,292
a monetary weight.
217
00:10:27,375 --> 00:10:28,542
Mm-hmm.
218
00:10:38,542 --> 00:10:40,875
Probably, that piece of bronze
219
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:46,042
was used, uh, to make
comparison between real coins.
220
00:10:46,208 --> 00:10:47,250
Using the weight.
221
00:10:49,167 --> 00:10:50,833
Mm-hmm.
222
00:10:50,958 --> 00:10:53,708
From the times of Ancient Rome
223
00:10:53,833 --> 00:10:55,958
up through the medieval
period across Europe,
224
00:10:56,042 --> 00:10:58,708
the value of silver
and gold coins
225
00:10:58,833 --> 00:11:00,958
were determined by their weight.
226
00:11:01,083 --> 00:11:02,792
In order to prevent
counterfeiting,
227
00:11:02,875 --> 00:11:04,500
merchants would
use trade weights
228
00:11:04,583 --> 00:11:06,292
made of non-precious metals
229
00:11:06,375 --> 00:11:09,833
as a standard for ensuring
the true value of coins.
230
00:11:09,917 --> 00:11:14,833
If this is indeed around
a thousand years old,
231
00:11:14,958 --> 00:11:17,625
why the need for trade
weights on Oak Island?
232
00:11:17,708 --> 00:11:20,167
Don't know, yet.
233
00:11:20,250 --> 00:11:23,000
If Umberto Moruzzi is correct
234
00:11:23,125 --> 00:11:24,875
that this trade weight
could date back
235
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,583
approximately 1,000
years, could it be a clue
236
00:11:28,708 --> 00:11:30,125
that supports Zena
Halpern's belief
237
00:11:30,250 --> 00:11:32,833
that members of
the Templar order
238
00:11:32,917 --> 00:11:37,458
first visited Oak Island
in the late 12th century?
239
00:11:37,542 --> 00:11:40,833
The very word "trade" means
240
00:11:40,958 --> 00:11:42,917
some sort of
commercial activity,
241
00:11:43,042 --> 00:11:48,125
or some sort of activity
associated with money.
242
00:11:48,208 --> 00:11:50,083
Um...
243
00:11:50,208 --> 00:11:52,458
Well, money, generally
in everyone's mind,
244
00:11:52,583 --> 00:11:55,167
is associated with "treasure."
245
00:11:55,292 --> 00:11:58,333
But it's the date he puts
on it, a thousand years old.
246
00:11:58,458 --> 00:12:02,458
Well, it rounds, again...
We're back into the 1200s.
247
00:12:02,542 --> 00:12:06,167
Perhaps, uh, an association
with a-a Templar treasure.
248
00:12:06,292 --> 00:12:10,000
It matches
the weight of a golden
249
00:12:10,083 --> 00:12:12,833
- Byzantine coin.
- Oh, yes.
250
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,000
Wow.
251
00:12:17,167 --> 00:12:20,750
And there's, uh, a Christ on it.
252
00:12:20,875 --> 00:12:22,250
Wow.
253
00:12:22,375 --> 00:12:25,833
He likes to think that
that piece of bronze
254
00:12:25,917 --> 00:12:31,458
was used as a monetary
weight for that very coin.
255
00:12:31,542 --> 00:12:32,833
Wow.
256
00:12:32,958 --> 00:12:34,351
I always thought it
was a wonderful story.
257
00:12:34,375 --> 00:12:36,917
- Mm-hmm.
- But nothing like this.
258
00:12:37,042 --> 00:12:38,833
Right? All of these outliers,
259
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,583
all of this new information
260
00:12:41,708 --> 00:12:43,143
that comes to light
and you've just...
261
00:12:43,167 --> 00:12:46,208
continually
puzzled by it, right?
262
00:12:46,333 --> 00:12:50,000
Given legitimate artifacts
from literally millennia ago.
263
00:12:50,083 --> 00:12:52,667
- Mm-hmm.
- So, I thank you for that,
264
00:12:52,750 --> 00:12:54,667
because that
impresses upon all of us
265
00:12:54,750 --> 00:12:56,583
the importance
of finds like this.
266
00:12:56,708 --> 00:12:58,167
I'm very hopeful
as we look forward.
267
00:12:58,292 --> 00:13:00,750
- Grazie.
- Prego.
268
00:13:04,167 --> 00:13:05,875
Back on Oak Island...
269
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,958
- How's it going, Laird?
- Hey, Jack.
270
00:13:08,042 --> 00:13:10,000
I see a lot of test
pits in this area.
271
00:13:10,125 --> 00:13:11,208
Yeah.
272
00:13:11,375 --> 00:13:14,125
Jack
Begley arrives on Lot 5,
273
00:13:14,250 --> 00:13:16,458
located on the western
side of the island,
274
00:13:16,542 --> 00:13:18,958
where archaeologist Laird Niven
275
00:13:19,083 --> 00:13:21,833
continues his
meticulous excavation
276
00:13:21,958 --> 00:13:25,167
of a mysterious
circular stone feature.
277
00:13:25,292 --> 00:13:27,833
There's been a lot of
work done around here lately.
278
00:13:27,958 --> 00:13:31,500
Yeah, there's a lot to do.
279
00:13:31,625 --> 00:13:33,542
Our first bit was to examine
280
00:13:33,708 --> 00:13:35,833
what we thought
was the exterior.
281
00:13:35,917 --> 00:13:38,667
But then we found that
there's this big circle
282
00:13:38,792 --> 00:13:40,917
of stones around it.
283
00:13:42,792 --> 00:13:45,292
While the purpose
of the stone-covered depression
284
00:13:45,375 --> 00:13:47,292
remains unknown,
285
00:13:47,417 --> 00:13:50,708
the fact that it has
a 13-foot diameter,
286
00:13:50,875 --> 00:13:52,958
matching that of
the original Money Pit
287
00:13:53,042 --> 00:13:56,125
when it was discovered in 1795,
288
00:13:56,208 --> 00:13:59,167
and is located in the area
where the Roman coin
289
00:13:59,292 --> 00:14:01,875
and barter token were found,
290
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,542
the team suspects it
may be a critical clue
291
00:14:04,667 --> 00:14:07,792
that could help solve
the Oak Island mystery.
292
00:14:07,875 --> 00:14:09,208
You can see rocks
coming up here,
293
00:14:09,333 --> 00:14:11,750
so... well below
these placed rocks.
294
00:14:11,875 --> 00:14:14,333
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Right?
295
00:14:14,417 --> 00:14:17,000
The occupation could be...
296
00:14:17,083 --> 00:14:20,333
I mean, we're finding
artifacts from the 1750s.
297
00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:22,000
Wow.
298
00:14:22,167 --> 00:14:23,958
Is there any chance
that the top feature
299
00:14:24,083 --> 00:14:27,167
was built at a later date
than the rocks that are lower?
300
00:14:27,292 --> 00:14:30,750
Oh, absolutely. Yeah,
this was at a later date.
301
00:14:30,875 --> 00:14:32,125
Yeah, and there could be
302
00:14:32,208 --> 00:14:34,500
an even earlier
component under that.
303
00:14:34,667 --> 00:14:37,000
Oh. So, this could be
304
00:14:37,083 --> 00:14:41,167
a really old stone feature
that was then rebuilt and...
305
00:14:41,250 --> 00:14:44,000
- Yeah.
- and rock-lined back in the 1700s.
306
00:14:44,083 --> 00:14:45,708
That's what we're hoping for.
307
00:14:45,833 --> 00:14:48,000
- Hey, Laird.
- Hey, Marty.
308
00:14:48,083 --> 00:14:49,833
Talk to me. What have you found?
309
00:14:49,917 --> 00:14:51,667
Why don't you come
down and I'll show you?
310
00:14:51,750 --> 00:14:53,833
- Well, I can be an archeologist then, right?
- Yep.
311
00:14:59,500 --> 00:15:01,167
All right. What you got?
312
00:15:01,250 --> 00:15:03,167
Well, we have a
big jumble of rocks.
313
00:15:03,292 --> 00:15:06,125
- I see that.
- And it's very deliberately built.
314
00:15:07,958 --> 00:15:10,167
So, what is this?
315
00:15:10,292 --> 00:15:12,167
Well, so, we're speculating now
316
00:15:12,292 --> 00:15:14,208
if this was once
filled, with rocks.
317
00:15:14,333 --> 00:15:15,792
- The whole thing?
- The whole thing.
318
00:15:15,917 --> 00:15:17,542
And then at some
point, somebody decided
319
00:15:17,708 --> 00:15:21,667
to take some of these rocks
out and create this thing around it.
320
00:15:21,792 --> 00:15:25,458
I'd be keenly interested in any
artifacts you find down there.
321
00:15:25,542 --> 00:15:29,750
Yeah, We're getting
artifacts from 1750 up top.
322
00:15:29,875 --> 00:15:31,395
- Mm-hmm.
- The hope is that, down below,
323
00:15:31,542 --> 00:15:33,833
we'll find an earl... an
even earlier component.
324
00:15:33,958 --> 00:15:36,375
That would be great.
That would be exciting.
325
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:39,500
The round feature on Lot 5
can turn out to be significant
326
00:15:39,625 --> 00:15:41,000
because it's so odd.
327
00:15:41,167 --> 00:15:42,833
How can you not be
328
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,083
extremely interested
into what exactly it is?
329
00:15:46,208 --> 00:15:51,250
It's a thing not found elsewhere
on Nova Scotia on Oak Island.
330
00:15:51,375 --> 00:15:54,333
It could be very meaningful.
We need to explore it.
331
00:15:54,417 --> 00:15:56,708
Well, there are
secrets here yet, Laird.
332
00:15:56,875 --> 00:15:57,976
But I think you're
gonna find them.
333
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,500
I hope so.
334
00:15:59,625 --> 00:16:01,208
All right, you guys carry on.
335
00:16:01,333 --> 00:16:02,684
- I'm moving to other parts.
- All right.
336
00:16:02,708 --> 00:16:04,708
- See you later.
- See you, Marty.
337
00:16:04,875 --> 00:16:07,000
As Laird and Jack continue
338
00:16:07,125 --> 00:16:10,708
their investigation on Lot 5...
339
00:16:10,833 --> 00:16:13,292
- Okay, well, let's take her deeper.
- Yeah.
340
00:16:13,375 --> 00:16:16,542
Craig Tester,
Billy Gerhardt, Steve Guptill
341
00:16:16,667 --> 00:16:20,167
and Gary Drayton are
conducting an excavation
342
00:16:20,292 --> 00:16:23,333
in the middle of the
triangle-shaped swamp.
343
00:16:27,583 --> 00:16:30,542
Whoa. The water's
sure starting to come in
344
00:16:30,708 --> 00:16:31,917
that little spot right there.
345
00:16:32,042 --> 00:16:34,875
We got a gusher now. Wow.
346
00:16:35,042 --> 00:16:37,667
- That's some water, isn't it?
- Yeah.
347
00:16:37,750 --> 00:16:42,000
After confirming the
discovery of a stone ramp one week ago,
348
00:16:42,125 --> 00:16:45,000
which connects the
800-year-old paved area
349
00:16:45,125 --> 00:16:47,083
with a stone
pathway running along
350
00:16:47,208 --> 00:16:49,167
the eastern border
of the swamp...
351
00:16:49,333 --> 00:16:51,393
Let's keep going, see
what the base of it looks like.
352
00:16:51,417 --> 00:16:52,833
Yeah.
353
00:16:52,958 --> 00:16:54,708
the Oak Island team
354
00:16:54,875 --> 00:16:57,042
is now hoping to unearth
355
00:16:57,208 --> 00:16:59,917
a large, potentially
metallic object
356
00:17:00,042 --> 00:17:02,875
that was detected during
a magnetometer survey
357
00:17:03,042 --> 00:17:06,083
performed earlier this year.
358
00:17:06,208 --> 00:17:07,833
We're awful deep.
359
00:17:07,958 --> 00:17:10,625
But the water came in so
fast we couldn't really see it.
360
00:17:10,750 --> 00:17:13,208
He's gonna try to get the
water out so we can see.
361
00:17:24,542 --> 00:17:26,042
All rocks now.
362
00:17:26,167 --> 00:17:27,958
It's deep though, for that, eh?
363
00:17:28,042 --> 00:17:29,583
Yeah, you can definitely see
364
00:17:29,708 --> 00:17:31,625
- the rocks on that side.
- Yeah.
365
00:17:35,292 --> 00:17:37,125
- Big rocks and little rocks.
- Yep.
366
00:17:37,250 --> 00:17:39,101
These rocks look like
they're from the paved area.
367
00:17:39,125 --> 00:17:40,708
Good.
368
00:17:40,875 --> 00:17:42,083
Oh, wow.
369
00:17:42,208 --> 00:17:43,958
That's very much
paved area type of rocks.
370
00:17:44,042 --> 00:17:46,417
While
searching for a metallic object,
371
00:17:46,542 --> 00:17:49,333
possibly buried more than
ten feet deep in the center
372
00:17:49,500 --> 00:17:50,726
of the triangle-shaped swamp...
373
00:17:50,750 --> 00:17:52,333
Grab one more.
374
00:17:52,417 --> 00:17:54,375
Craig
Tester and other members
375
00:17:54,542 --> 00:17:56,125
of the Oak Island
team have unearthed
376
00:17:56,250 --> 00:17:58,667
what they believe
could be a new section
377
00:17:58,792 --> 00:18:02,292
of the massive 800-year-old
stone-paved feature.
378
00:18:04,250 --> 00:18:06,292
That's a lot of rock at 11 feet.
379
00:18:06,375 --> 00:18:07,833
Why don't you, uh,
380
00:18:07,958 --> 00:18:09,393
get a little more
water out of there,
381
00:18:09,417 --> 00:18:11,708
- we'll take another good look.
- Okay.
382
00:18:14,458 --> 00:18:16,226
Maybe this was more
of the paved area in the swamp,
383
00:18:16,250 --> 00:18:17,917
but we're not quite
sure where it's going
384
00:18:18,042 --> 00:18:19,208
or where it's coming from.
385
00:18:19,333 --> 00:18:21,125
But that's what we're here for.
386
00:18:21,208 --> 00:18:23,708
We're here to-to find out
what actually was going on.
387
00:18:27,042 --> 00:18:29,042
So, what do we got
going here now, guys?
388
00:18:29,167 --> 00:18:31,167
What mystery do we have today?
389
00:18:31,292 --> 00:18:33,542
Yeah, the question is,
is it a paved area or not?
390
00:18:33,667 --> 00:18:36,042
Oh, yeah.
391
00:18:36,208 --> 00:18:37,851
You can see the
rocks down there, like it's...
392
00:18:37,875 --> 00:18:40,042
- Oh, yeah. Very similar, isn't it?
- Yep.
393
00:18:40,208 --> 00:18:41,792
This could be sort of, uh,
394
00:18:41,875 --> 00:18:43,833
adjunct to the paved area.
395
00:18:43,917 --> 00:18:45,917
We already knew we had
the paved area in the swamp,
396
00:18:45,958 --> 00:18:47,998
we have the path, now we
have a ramp connecting 'em.
397
00:18:48,042 --> 00:18:51,083
The big question is why?
398
00:18:51,208 --> 00:18:53,167
It must have been
done for some reason.
399
00:18:53,292 --> 00:18:56,542
What I'm thinking is, uh,
Dr. Spooner's coming tomorrow.
400
00:18:56,667 --> 00:19:00,667
Have him take a look at
whether it's glacial or man-made.
401
00:19:00,792 --> 00:19:02,333
For today, I think we're good.
402
00:19:02,458 --> 00:19:04,750
Yet another
mystery on Oak Island.
403
00:19:08,292 --> 00:19:10,208
The following morning...
404
00:19:10,333 --> 00:19:12,500
Hey, Billy.
405
00:19:12,667 --> 00:19:13,833
Hey.
406
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,333
You'll see the rock layer
407
00:19:15,458 --> 00:19:17,000
we found.
408
00:19:17,083 --> 00:19:19,625
Craig
Tester accompanies
409
00:19:19,750 --> 00:19:21,917
geoscientist Dr. Ian
Spooner to the swamp
410
00:19:22,042 --> 00:19:24,708
in order to have him
inspect the freshly unearthed
411
00:19:24,833 --> 00:19:26,833
stone-paved feature.
412
00:19:26,958 --> 00:19:28,125
So, I wanted you
413
00:19:28,250 --> 00:19:30,333
to come look at it, you know,
414
00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:34,083
make sure you're in
agreement that it is man-made.
415
00:19:34,208 --> 00:19:37,208
Mm-hmm. You know
what's really important,
416
00:19:37,375 --> 00:19:39,000
is we dug out there
and we did not find
417
00:19:39,167 --> 00:19:40,542
- that rock layer.
- Yeah.
418
00:19:42,583 --> 00:19:44,583
That rock layer, we
have it in the paved area,
419
00:19:44,708 --> 00:19:46,417
and it stops right there.
420
00:19:46,542 --> 00:19:48,667
- Yes.
- And it's-it's not over there at all.
421
00:19:48,792 --> 00:19:51,625
Like, if it's a glacial feature,
you expect it to continue.
422
00:19:51,708 --> 00:19:54,708
There's some kind
of human influence.
423
00:19:54,833 --> 00:19:58,500
While searching in
the swamp over the past several years,
424
00:19:58,625 --> 00:20:00,167
the team has found
numerous pieces
425
00:20:00,292 --> 00:20:01,917
of ancient sailing vessels
426
00:20:02,042 --> 00:20:04,542
as well as parts
of cargo barrels,
427
00:20:04,667 --> 00:20:08,625
which have been estimated
to date back 600 years or more.
428
00:20:09,875 --> 00:20:11,833
Could Dr. Spooner be correct
429
00:20:11,917 --> 00:20:14,458
that the paved area in
the center of the swamp
430
00:20:14,542 --> 00:20:17,333
and the stone ramp
at its eastern edge
431
00:20:17,458 --> 00:20:20,958
were used many centuries
ago in order to transport
432
00:20:21,083 --> 00:20:24,500
something of great
value onto Oak Island?
433
00:20:24,667 --> 00:20:27,417
So, when the
paved area was here,
434
00:20:27,542 --> 00:20:29,333
there was a lot of
water right there.
435
00:20:29,458 --> 00:20:31,792
One of the ideas is that
they might have brought boats
436
00:20:31,917 --> 00:20:34,792
over the beach, had them
there, and the paved area
437
00:20:34,875 --> 00:20:38,250
was some kind of staging
area or something like that.
438
00:20:38,375 --> 00:20:41,125
And that other ramp is the
ramp to get up to the upland.
439
00:20:41,250 --> 00:20:42,393
If you don't think
there's anything else
440
00:20:42,417 --> 00:20:43,833
we need to do here,
441
00:20:43,958 --> 00:20:47,042
I think we'll get him
putting it back in place.
442
00:20:47,167 --> 00:20:48,792
Yeah. I don't think so.
443
00:20:48,917 --> 00:20:49,917
Okay.
444
00:20:50,042 --> 00:20:51,708
Okay. Well, thank you.
445
00:20:51,833 --> 00:20:53,833
- Okay, Bill.
- All right. See you.
446
00:20:53,958 --> 00:20:56,708
While operations
continue on Oak Island...
447
00:20:58,208 --> 00:21:00,542
Andrea,
pleasure to meet you, sir.
448
00:21:00,708 --> 00:21:04,500
A pleasure to meet you, and
welcome to American University.
449
00:21:04,625 --> 00:21:07,375
meanwhile,
some 4,000 miles to the east,
450
00:21:07,542 --> 00:21:11,125
researcher Emiliano
Sacchetti has arranged
451
00:21:11,250 --> 00:21:14,167
for Rick Lagina and
other members of the team
452
00:21:14,250 --> 00:21:17,542
to meet with Professor
Andrea di Robilant
453
00:21:17,667 --> 00:21:20,333
at the American
University of Rome.
454
00:21:20,417 --> 00:21:22,667
This day is gonna prove
to be most interesting
455
00:21:22,750 --> 00:21:25,167
because it's our
belief, and part of it
456
00:21:25,292 --> 00:21:27,333
is based on some
previous research
457
00:21:27,417 --> 00:21:30,167
about pre-Columbian
voyages to the New World.
458
00:21:30,333 --> 00:21:32,458
Well, I have an interesting
tale to tell you all.
459
00:21:32,542 --> 00:21:34,208
Excellent.
460
00:21:34,333 --> 00:21:36,958
With nearly
40 years of experience
461
00:21:37,042 --> 00:21:39,333
as an author and lecturer,
462
00:21:39,500 --> 00:21:42,333
Professor Di Robilant
has written extensively
463
00:21:42,458 --> 00:21:46,625
about pre-15th-century
European visits to the New World.
464
00:21:46,708 --> 00:21:50,292
In the library where I was
doing my own research
465
00:21:50,375 --> 00:21:53,583
was an extraordinary
little booklet
466
00:21:53,708 --> 00:21:57,292
published in 1558 in Venice
467
00:21:57,375 --> 00:22:01,667
about the narrative of
Nicolò and Antonio Zeno,
468
00:22:01,833 --> 00:22:05,375
Venetian sailors
back in the 1390s.
469
00:22:05,500 --> 00:22:10,625
They decided to leave Venice
to sail up to the North Atlantic
470
00:22:10,708 --> 00:22:13,875
and trade with the
countries of Northern Europe.
471
00:22:15,125 --> 00:22:17,208
And so, the two brothers
472
00:22:17,375 --> 00:22:19,667
sail out of Venice,
cross the Mediterranean,
473
00:22:19,792 --> 00:22:23,417
sail up the Atlantic
to the Faroe Islands.
474
00:22:25,417 --> 00:22:28,000
There, they are eventually taken
475
00:22:28,083 --> 00:22:30,667
to the l... the-the
lord chieftain
476
00:22:30,750 --> 00:22:34,417
of the whole area, who
was, uh, Sir Henry Sinclair.
477
00:22:34,542 --> 00:22:36,417
Henry Sinclair
478
00:22:36,542 --> 00:22:38,417
is so interesting to us.
479
00:22:40,208 --> 00:22:42,583
Prince Henry Sinclair
480
00:22:42,708 --> 00:22:47,125
was a Scottish nobleman,
military leader and explorer.
481
00:22:47,250 --> 00:22:49,958
However, he is also
believed by some
482
00:22:50,042 --> 00:22:53,417
to have given refuge to and
joined the Knights Templar
483
00:22:53,542 --> 00:22:57,833
after their persecution in
France during the 14th century,
484
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,167
and then helped them
move some of their treasures
485
00:23:00,250 --> 00:23:04,250
to the New World in 1398.
486
00:23:04,375 --> 00:23:07,708
The two brothers, instead
of going back to Venice,
487
00:23:07,875 --> 00:23:12,333
decide to stay and
work for Henry Sinclair.
488
00:23:12,417 --> 00:23:15,125
And Sinclair, uh,
gives them ships,
489
00:23:15,208 --> 00:23:17,125
with which they
further their journey
490
00:23:17,208 --> 00:23:18,958
and travel further north.
491
00:23:19,083 --> 00:23:22,000
During this period of ten years,
492
00:23:22,167 --> 00:23:27,167
they described in great
detail the places they visited.
493
00:23:27,292 --> 00:23:30,417
In 1558,
494
00:23:30,542 --> 00:23:33,833
the grandnephew of
Antonio Zeno decides
495
00:23:33,958 --> 00:23:38,833
to publish all of this
material and to print a map
496
00:23:38,958 --> 00:23:41,958
of their journey to
the North Atlantic.
497
00:23:42,083 --> 00:23:44,542
And I have this, uh, the map.
498
00:23:44,667 --> 00:23:47,375
Uh, I have it right here.
499
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,542
So, the Zeno
brothers sailed further north,
500
00:23:54,708 --> 00:23:59,833
and very, very possibly,
to the coast of Nova Scotia.
501
00:23:59,917 --> 00:24:01,833
-Hmm.
502
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,042
At the American
University in Rome, Italy,
503
00:24:05,167 --> 00:24:09,708
Professor Andrea di Robilant
has just presented documents
504
00:24:09,833 --> 00:24:12,458
reporting that in
the late 14th century,
505
00:24:12,542 --> 00:24:16,167
Italian explorers
Antonio and Nicolò Zeno
506
00:24:16,292 --> 00:24:20,333
sailed to the New World
with Prince Henry Sinclair,
507
00:24:20,458 --> 00:24:24,000
a Templar knight, who
some believe buried
508
00:24:24,083 --> 00:24:27,333
sacred religious
treasures on Oak Island.
509
00:24:27,458 --> 00:24:30,167
They certainly mentioned
510
00:24:30,292 --> 00:24:33,167
what is, to me, most obviously,
511
00:24:33,250 --> 00:24:35,542
Newfoundland and Nova Scotia.
512
00:24:35,667 --> 00:24:39,375
Those parts are
included in the Zeno map.
513
00:24:39,542 --> 00:24:41,583
And I have a-a very famous map
514
00:24:41,708 --> 00:24:46,333
from the late, very
late 17th century.
515
00:24:46,417 --> 00:24:49,125
I think I have it here. Yeah.
516
00:24:49,208 --> 00:24:52,000
- And lo and behold, it says here...
- There it is.
517
00:24:52,083 --> 00:24:54,500
- Yep. Yep.
- right there in Canada,
518
00:24:54,625 --> 00:24:59,625
"Discovered by
Antonio Zeno in 1390."
519
00:24:59,708 --> 00:25:03,375
So, this, to me, was
extraordinary, because it meant
520
00:25:03,542 --> 00:25:05,875
that here we have a
document which suggests
521
00:25:06,042 --> 00:25:10,333
that the Zeno brothers
had, uh, landed
522
00:25:10,458 --> 00:25:13,875
a-and discovered this
part of North America.
523
00:25:15,042 --> 00:25:16,458
It truly is
524
00:25:16,542 --> 00:25:18,375
- irresistible as you lay it out.
- Mm-hmm.
525
00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:20,000
- Mm-hmm.
- That puts a foothold
526
00:25:20,167 --> 00:25:23,167
for the Zeno brothers in Canada,
527
00:25:23,250 --> 00:25:26,208
so they could be associated
with the Oak Island story.
528
00:25:26,333 --> 00:25:28,500
- Yes.
- And then Henry Sinclair
529
00:25:28,625 --> 00:25:31,000
in North America.
530
00:25:31,083 --> 00:25:33,250
We've got multiple timelines.
531
00:25:33,375 --> 00:25:36,417
I've always believed that
the work on Oak Island
532
00:25:36,542 --> 00:25:38,583
associated with some
sort of treasure deposition
533
00:25:38,708 --> 00:25:40,375
was incremental.
534
00:25:40,500 --> 00:25:43,792
A plan was devised,
certain stages of it
535
00:25:43,875 --> 00:25:46,792
were implemented
over, perhaps, centuries.
536
00:25:46,875 --> 00:25:50,542
I think we have to
follow the possibility
537
00:25:50,708 --> 00:25:54,458
that Templar treasure went
from France to Scotland,
538
00:25:54,542 --> 00:25:57,667
from Scotland to the New World.
539
00:25:57,792 --> 00:25:59,542
We have a connection here,
540
00:25:59,708 --> 00:26:01,833
let's follow the clues
where they lead.
541
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,042
What we have heard here
today is that maps tell a story.
542
00:26:06,167 --> 00:26:08,875
And that this is
certainly a connection
543
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,417
to a visitation to the
New World long, long ago.
544
00:26:12,542 --> 00:26:14,167
So, thank you for the day.
545
00:26:14,292 --> 00:26:17,542
It's been highly informative
and very, uh, impactful.
546
00:26:19,333 --> 00:26:20,708
I wish you the best of luck.
547
00:26:20,833 --> 00:26:22,792
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
548
00:26:22,875 --> 00:26:24,708
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you so much.
549
00:26:24,833 --> 00:26:26,153
While Rick
and members of the team
550
00:26:26,250 --> 00:26:28,500
finish their meeting
in Rome, Italy...
551
00:26:28,625 --> 00:26:31,667
Hello,
y'all. Two visitors.
552
00:26:31,792 --> 00:26:33,167
back
on Oak Island...
553
00:26:33,292 --> 00:26:34,750
Holy cow.
554
00:26:34,875 --> 00:26:36,708
- No, I see what you mean by that.
- Yeah.
555
00:26:36,833 --> 00:26:38,333
This is frickin' impressive.
556
00:26:38,500 --> 00:26:40,333
I've never seen
anything like this
557
00:26:40,417 --> 00:26:42,083
- on the island.
- No.
558
00:26:42,208 --> 00:26:44,917
Dr. Ian
Spooner joins Craig Tester
559
00:26:45,042 --> 00:26:48,083
and other members
of the team on Lot 5
560
00:26:48,208 --> 00:26:50,500
in order to make
his first inspection
561
00:26:50,625 --> 00:26:53,000
of the circular,
stone-covered depression.
562
00:26:53,125 --> 00:26:57,500
I don't know, uh,
circular things are so rare.
563
00:26:57,667 --> 00:27:00,500
In my travels,
circular things like this,
564
00:27:00,625 --> 00:27:03,125
few things that I've
seen are... you know,
565
00:27:03,208 --> 00:27:05,208
there can be fortifications
that were circular.
566
00:27:05,333 --> 00:27:06,750
And one of the best-known
567
00:27:06,875 --> 00:27:09,042
circular fortifications
are brochs,
568
00:27:09,167 --> 00:27:12,500
are old, ancient Scottish
castles that were circular.
569
00:27:12,625 --> 00:27:15,500
I've also seen things
like this where they have...
570
00:27:15,583 --> 00:27:16,976
some kind of cannon
or f... you know,
571
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,750
that moves around a circle.
572
00:27:18,875 --> 00:27:20,167
Hmm.
573
00:27:20,250 --> 00:27:22,500
The circular feature on Lot 5,
574
00:27:22,625 --> 00:27:24,833
a possibly ancient
fortification?
575
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,667
And perhaps of Scottish origin?
576
00:27:27,750 --> 00:27:29,500
If Dr. Spooner is correct,
577
00:27:29,625 --> 00:27:32,208
could this structure
offer evidence
578
00:27:32,375 --> 00:27:34,917
that the reported voyage
of Prince Henry Sinclair
579
00:27:35,042 --> 00:27:37,667
to Oak Island in
the late 14th century
580
00:27:37,750 --> 00:27:41,167
did, in fact, take place?
581
00:27:41,292 --> 00:27:43,750
I-I mean, to me, it's
really quite impressive.
582
00:27:43,875 --> 00:27:45,917
It's very interesting.
583
00:27:46,042 --> 00:27:47,792
I mean, every time
you guys are puzzled
584
00:27:47,917 --> 00:27:49,750
- by something...
- Yeah, it gets us interested.
585
00:27:49,875 --> 00:27:51,667
Yeah, it gets me
very interested.
586
00:27:51,792 --> 00:27:53,018
- Very interested.
- Why does that happen
587
00:27:53,042 --> 00:27:55,292
- a lot on this island?
- I don't know.
588
00:27:55,375 --> 00:27:57,000
I don't know.
589
00:27:57,167 --> 00:27:59,333
- Thank you.
- Catch you later on, then.
590
00:27:59,458 --> 00:28:00,750
- All right.
- Yeah.
591
00:28:00,875 --> 00:28:02,115
- See you guys.
- Yeah, see you.
592
00:28:05,958 --> 00:28:07,583
The following day...
593
00:28:07,708 --> 00:28:09,500
Hi, guys.
594
00:28:09,625 --> 00:28:11,000
- Buongiorno.
- Buongiorno.
595
00:28:11,125 --> 00:28:12,685
- Benvenuto a Viterbo.
- Nice to meet you.
596
00:28:12,750 --> 00:28:13,875
Buongiorno.
597
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,625
Gianluca Di Prospero is, um,
598
00:28:15,708 --> 00:28:17,375
Templar investigator,
599
00:28:17,500 --> 00:28:22,000
and he's gonna show us a
few things around Viterbo today.
600
00:28:22,167 --> 00:28:24,625
Rick Lagina
and members of the team
601
00:28:24,750 --> 00:28:28,375
have traveled some 65
miles northwest of Rome
602
00:28:28,542 --> 00:28:31,208
to the city of Viterbo, Italy.
603
00:28:31,333 --> 00:28:33,583
Viterbo was
an important crossroad,
604
00:28:33,708 --> 00:28:36,375
and for 24 years,
Viterbo was the center
605
00:28:36,542 --> 00:28:39,000
of Christianity in
the known world.
606
00:28:39,125 --> 00:28:42,167
They have arranged
to meet with Gianluca di Prospero,
607
00:28:42,333 --> 00:28:44,792
an author who has spent
more than two decades
608
00:28:44,875 --> 00:28:46,917
researching the
medieval activities
609
00:28:47,042 --> 00:28:49,083
of the Knights
Templar in this region.
610
00:28:49,208 --> 00:28:52,500
What is the Templar
connection with this area?
611
00:29:00,125 --> 00:29:01,667
Actually, he found
612
00:29:01,750 --> 00:29:04,292
some, uh, interesting
symbols in a church
613
00:29:04,375 --> 00:29:07,792
that is very close to here,
it's called Santa Maria Nuova.
614
00:29:07,875 --> 00:29:10,167
There might be some
Templar connection.
615
00:29:10,333 --> 00:29:12,958
- I'd say let's-let's take a look.
- Let's see.
616
00:29:13,042 --> 00:29:14,833
Sì.
617
00:29:14,917 --> 00:29:17,000
Founded in the eighth century,
618
00:29:17,125 --> 00:29:20,042
Viterbo became the
temporary headquarters
619
00:29:20,167 --> 00:29:23,750
for Pope Alexander IV
and the Catholic Church
620
00:29:23,875 --> 00:29:26,292
during a time of
civil unrest in Rome.
621
00:29:26,375 --> 00:29:29,583
During that period,
the city also served
622
00:29:29,708 --> 00:29:32,500
as a stronghold for
the Templar order.
623
00:29:41,875 --> 00:29:43,833
This is Santa Maria Nuova,
624
00:29:43,917 --> 00:29:45,792
a church built in 1080.
625
00:29:45,875 --> 00:29:47,792
As you can see,
it's full of paintings,
626
00:29:47,875 --> 00:29:49,750
carvings and symbolism.
627
00:29:49,875 --> 00:29:53,167
It's hard-hard to
believe this-this... this
628
00:29:53,250 --> 00:29:55,042
was built in 1080.
629
00:29:55,167 --> 00:29:58,708
- Mm-hmm.
- I think there's a lot to learn here.
630
00:29:58,875 --> 00:30:00,917
So, let's-let's start
an initial investigation
631
00:30:01,042 --> 00:30:02,833
- and see-see what we come up with.
- Okay.
632
00:30:02,958 --> 00:30:05,458
- Okay.
- If you see anything at all,
633
00:30:05,542 --> 00:30:07,833
- flag everyone else down.
- Okay.
634
00:30:07,958 --> 00:30:09,292
- Great idea.
- Okay.
635
00:30:09,375 --> 00:30:11,042
Let's do that.
636
00:30:11,208 --> 00:30:14,250
The church is
an incredible edifice.
637
00:30:14,375 --> 00:30:16,000
It's beautiful.
638
00:30:16,125 --> 00:30:20,042
Churches were, even
though they were public,
639
00:30:20,208 --> 00:30:22,917
they held secrets of their own.
640
00:30:23,042 --> 00:30:25,333
And we need to learn
as much as we can.
641
00:30:31,125 --> 00:30:32,667
What'd you find, Pete?
642
00:30:32,833 --> 00:30:34,833
- I think something pretty interesting.
- Oh.
643
00:30:34,917 --> 00:30:37,500
- Wow.
- In Viterbo, Italy,
644
00:30:37,583 --> 00:30:39,333
Peter Fornetti has just made
645
00:30:39,458 --> 00:30:41,917
a potentially
important discovery
646
00:30:42,042 --> 00:30:44,375
inside the Santa Maria Nuova,
647
00:30:44,500 --> 00:30:48,250
a medieval church with
historically documented ties
648
00:30:48,375 --> 00:30:50,000
to the Knights Templar.
649
00:30:50,125 --> 00:30:51,958
It's unmistakable.
650
00:30:52,042 --> 00:30:53,833
Cross with the four dots.
651
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,500
- Same as the H+O Stone.
- Mm-hmm.
652
00:31:07,583 --> 00:31:09,167
He says that
653
00:31:09,250 --> 00:31:13,375
these four-dots crosses
are marking special places
654
00:31:13,500 --> 00:31:18,625
that Templars used to
be in and... or around.
655
00:31:18,708 --> 00:31:20,375
Hmm.
656
00:31:31,542 --> 00:31:35,292
This is also
present in places connected
657
00:31:35,417 --> 00:31:38,958
with the Holy Grail
or the Holy Shroud.
658
00:31:40,375 --> 00:31:42,042
If this four-dot cross
659
00:31:42,208 --> 00:31:45,625
is only found in
Templar-associated locations
660
00:31:45,708 --> 00:31:48,708
or with
Templar-associated articles
661
00:31:48,833 --> 00:31:50,333
that they may have
been safeguarding,
662
00:31:50,458 --> 00:31:53,500
I mean, i-it speaks
volumes for our H+O Stone.
663
00:31:53,583 --> 00:31:57,333
In the 1920s, a massive boulder
664
00:31:57,417 --> 00:31:59,875
featuring a number
of enigmatic carvings
665
00:32:00,042 --> 00:32:02,042
was discovered
by treasure hunters
666
00:32:02,167 --> 00:32:04,500
on the northern
shore of Oak Island.
667
00:32:04,667 --> 00:32:08,542
Suspecting that it marked
the location of buried treasure,
668
00:32:08,708 --> 00:32:13,208
they destroyed it with dynamite
in order to dig beneath it.
669
00:32:13,333 --> 00:32:17,167
Nothing was found
below the massive boulder.
670
00:32:17,292 --> 00:32:20,917
However, is it
possible that a fragment
671
00:32:21,042 --> 00:32:22,500
known as the H+O Stone,
672
00:32:22,625 --> 00:32:26,333
which featured a cross
surrounded by four dots,
673
00:32:26,458 --> 00:32:30,000
represented a key clue that
sacred Templar treasures
674
00:32:30,125 --> 00:32:31,958
are hidden on Oak Island?
675
00:32:32,042 --> 00:32:35,000
If so, could that explain
676
00:32:35,125 --> 00:32:38,083
the high-trace evidence
of gold and other metals
677
00:32:38,208 --> 00:32:42,208
that have been detected
deep in the Money Pit area?
678
00:32:42,375 --> 00:32:44,583
Every place we visit...
679
00:32:45,833 --> 00:32:47,792
it speaks to me
680
00:32:47,875 --> 00:32:50,000
that there's an
ongoing story here.
681
00:32:50,125 --> 00:32:51,792
An ongoing message.
682
00:32:51,875 --> 00:32:54,208
We need to look
backwards in time,
683
00:32:54,333 --> 00:32:55,833
and that's what
we've done today.
684
00:32:55,917 --> 00:32:57,018
And I think we need
to continue to do that.
685
00:32:57,042 --> 00:32:58,333
Yep.
686
00:32:58,417 --> 00:33:00,125
Let's go.
687
00:33:00,208 --> 00:33:02,083
We have seen
that cross everywhere,
688
00:33:02,208 --> 00:33:05,875
from Portugal to the H+O Stone.
689
00:33:06,042 --> 00:33:07,917
And we know for a fact
690
00:33:08,042 --> 00:33:10,583
that Templars used
that representation,
691
00:33:10,708 --> 00:33:14,375
but it certainly is a direct
connection to Oak Island.
692
00:33:14,542 --> 00:33:16,458
- Rick.
- Hmm?
693
00:33:16,542 --> 00:33:18,458
Right here.
694
00:33:22,708 --> 00:33:24,500
- Yeah.
- Right there.
695
00:33:24,667 --> 00:33:25,667
Hmm.
696
00:33:25,750 --> 00:33:27,375
"H-I-C."
697
00:33:32,542 --> 00:33:34,018
I think there's an
"A" even on the far side there.
698
00:33:34,042 --> 00:33:35,292
There's an "A" here, yeah.
699
00:33:35,375 --> 00:33:36,958
Mm-hmm.
700
00:33:45,958 --> 00:33:48,500
In his opinion, this
refers to a compass.
701
00:33:48,625 --> 00:33:53,250
And if you take a look
closely, there is also a square.
702
00:33:53,375 --> 00:33:55,750
So, it could be a
Masonic, uh, symbolism.
703
00:33:55,875 --> 00:33:57,417
- Mm-hmm.
- Which is weird
704
00:33:57,542 --> 00:33:58,958
in a church like this...
705
00:33:59,042 --> 00:34:00,226
- Yeah.
- so old and so important
706
00:34:00,250 --> 00:34:02,375
- here in Viterbo.
- Hmm.
707
00:34:02,500 --> 00:34:04,625
A possible Masonic compass
708
00:34:04,708 --> 00:34:07,042
carved in the wall
of a medieval church
709
00:34:07,208 --> 00:34:10,167
with known connections
to the Knights Templar?
710
00:34:10,333 --> 00:34:13,750
Many believe that
the secretive fraternity
711
00:34:13,875 --> 00:34:15,667
known as the Freemasons
712
00:34:15,792 --> 00:34:19,208
evolved from the Templar
order after their dissolution
713
00:34:19,333 --> 00:34:22,292
by the Catholic Church
in the 14th century.
714
00:34:22,375 --> 00:34:25,167
Curiously, ever
since the Money Pit
715
00:34:25,333 --> 00:34:28,333
was discovered in 1795,
716
00:34:28,458 --> 00:34:30,833
Freemasons have been involved
717
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,083
in nearly every single organized
company of treasure hunters
718
00:34:34,208 --> 00:34:36,333
that has tried to
solve the mystery.
719
00:34:36,458 --> 00:34:40,583
Masonic symbols such
as triangles, crosses
720
00:34:40,708 --> 00:34:44,500
and the letter "G,"
representing the divine creator,
721
00:34:44,583 --> 00:34:47,667
have also been found
all across the island.
722
00:34:47,792 --> 00:34:50,792
Is it possible that Alex Lagina
723
00:34:50,917 --> 00:34:53,917
has just found more evidence
that these organizations
724
00:34:54,042 --> 00:34:55,917
are directly connected?
725
00:34:56,042 --> 00:34:59,167
And if so, does
that also explain
726
00:34:59,292 --> 00:35:01,833
what Freemasons have been
trying to find on Oak Island
727
00:35:01,917 --> 00:35:03,708
for more than two centuries?
728
00:35:06,417 --> 00:35:09,167
I just keep thinking
about the H+O Stone.
729
00:35:09,250 --> 00:35:11,583
And let me show you this.
730
00:35:12,708 --> 00:35:14,208
So...
731
00:35:14,333 --> 00:35:16,750
in the church, we saw this.
732
00:35:19,958 --> 00:35:20,958
- Right?
- Mm-hmm.
733
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,333
What does that mean?
734
00:35:22,458 --> 00:35:24,208
- "Here."
- If you do this...
735
00:35:32,375 --> 00:35:34,833
you get the H+O Stone.
736
00:35:34,958 --> 00:35:37,167
And this symbol,
we've learned today,
737
00:35:37,292 --> 00:35:40,583
- means Templar-related relic.
- Mm-hmm.
738
00:35:40,708 --> 00:35:43,917
And what have we found that
the symbol at the end means?
739
00:35:44,042 --> 00:35:45,667
Some have
interpreted it to be gold.
740
00:35:45,792 --> 00:35:47,250
Yeah.
741
00:35:47,375 --> 00:35:48,875
If you put it all
together, I mean,
742
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,917
there's the possibility that
the H+O Stone represents
743
00:35:52,042 --> 00:35:54,208
"Here, Templar gold."
744
00:35:54,333 --> 00:35:56,125
We know that in medieval times,
745
00:35:56,208 --> 00:35:59,542
in Middle Age times, they
really like their ciphers.
746
00:35:59,667 --> 00:36:02,458
They really like their
hidden meaning, so...
747
00:36:04,083 --> 00:36:05,417
- maybe. Yeah.
- Maybe.
748
00:36:05,542 --> 00:36:07,667
You may have just
filled in the blank.
749
00:36:07,792 --> 00:36:09,583
Or a blank or blanks.
750
00:36:09,708 --> 00:36:13,208
I think it was incredibly
insightful of Alex.
751
00:36:13,375 --> 00:36:15,833
I think he and Peter
work very well together.
752
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,000
I'm very proud of
them as my nephews.
753
00:36:18,167 --> 00:36:19,875
Hopefully this means something.
754
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,792
If he's onto
something, that is fantastic.
755
00:36:24,958 --> 00:36:27,333
We all believe the
H+O Stone is important.
756
00:36:27,458 --> 00:36:31,125
The circle and the dot
could be a symbol for gold.
757
00:36:31,208 --> 00:36:34,333
Is it possible that it
hints at or suggests
758
00:36:34,417 --> 00:36:36,833
that there's a religious
relic associated
759
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,667
with the treasure of Oak Island?
760
00:36:40,792 --> 00:36:44,167
Well, at this point, there's
some strong suggestions
761
00:36:44,292 --> 00:36:46,125
that that is indeed the case.
762
00:36:46,250 --> 00:36:48,042
Well, what we did
763
00:36:48,208 --> 00:36:50,208
is we took the eyes
and boots approach
764
00:36:50,333 --> 00:36:53,958
to the information hunt,
which is absolute imperative.
765
00:36:54,083 --> 00:36:57,333
And that's, that's my thought
as we head back to the island.
766
00:36:57,417 --> 00:36:58,500
Appreciate you guys.
767
00:36:58,625 --> 00:36:59,958
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.
768
00:37:00,042 --> 00:37:01,167
Grazie mille.
769
00:37:01,292 --> 00:37:03,375
We owe you a debt of gratitude.
770
00:37:08,667 --> 00:37:11,167
I-I'm excited to go
down there. I really, really am.
771
00:37:11,292 --> 00:37:12,726
It's-it's pretty neat. I
mean, you're doing down
772
00:37:12,750 --> 00:37:14,500
- underground in the Money Pit.
- Yes.
773
00:37:14,625 --> 00:37:17,875
Exactly right, yeah, and
maybe, very close to...
774
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,333
- The treasure.
- the actual treasure of the Money Pit.
775
00:37:20,458 --> 00:37:24,208
It is a historic
moment on Oak Island.
776
00:37:24,333 --> 00:37:26,500
After more than five
months of tireless effort
777
00:37:26,583 --> 00:37:30,167
by representatives of
Dumas Contracting Limited,
778
00:37:30,333 --> 00:37:33,667
the reconstruction of the
82-foot-deep Garden Shaft
779
00:37:33,792 --> 00:37:35,333
is now complete.
780
00:37:35,417 --> 00:37:38,333
- Okay. Enjoy, guys.
- Thank you very much.
781
00:37:38,458 --> 00:37:40,667
In the next
week, the team will begin
782
00:37:40,792 --> 00:37:43,500
a new probe-drilling
operation to look for evidence
783
00:37:43,625 --> 00:37:47,500
of precious metals just
outside of the structure,
784
00:37:47,625 --> 00:37:52,333
as well as a tunnel located
at a depth of some 95 feet
785
00:37:52,458 --> 00:37:56,958
that leads toward the Baby
Blob, or believed treasure zone.
786
00:37:57,042 --> 00:37:58,875
- Are you gonna lead?
- Yes.
787
00:37:59,042 --> 00:38:02,042
- The real excitement begins now.
- Yeah.
788
00:38:02,208 --> 00:38:03,833
In the meantime,
789
00:38:03,917 --> 00:38:07,292
Marty Lagina is about
to make his first descent
790
00:38:07,417 --> 00:38:10,167
into the structure
in order to inspect it.
791
00:38:10,292 --> 00:38:14,125
I am physically going
underground in the Money Pit,
792
00:38:14,208 --> 00:38:17,875
in a shaft that may, in
fact, lead us to the treasure.
793
00:38:18,042 --> 00:38:20,667
It's pretty exciting from
an emotional standpoint.
794
00:38:20,792 --> 00:38:24,333
- This is a long way down.
- Yeah.
795
00:38:24,458 --> 00:38:26,667
The main feeling is a bit of awe
796
00:38:26,750 --> 00:38:29,667
as to the people who
did it 100 years ago,
797
00:38:29,833 --> 00:38:32,625
200 years ago,
maybe 400 years ago.
798
00:38:32,750 --> 00:38:36,333
It's amazing to me what
human beings can do.
799
00:38:38,375 --> 00:38:43,000
All right, the first thing
I want to do is look up.
800
00:38:43,125 --> 00:38:45,250
Holy crap.
801
00:38:45,375 --> 00:38:47,917
When we get to the
bottom, the secondary feeling is,
802
00:38:48,042 --> 00:38:50,000
"Hey, I'm underground
in the Money Pit area.
803
00:38:50,167 --> 00:38:51,417
Wonder what I'm next to."
804
00:38:51,542 --> 00:38:53,500
I just can't help myself.
805
00:38:53,625 --> 00:38:55,143
- I got to take a look down there.
- Absolutely.
806
00:38:55,167 --> 00:38:56,458
Here, let me help you.
807
00:38:56,542 --> 00:38:58,022
- Oh, these just roll off?
- Oh, yeah.
808
00:38:58,167 --> 00:38:59,542
We didn't nail them in yet.
809
00:39:01,542 --> 00:39:03,125
There she is. The ground.
810
00:39:03,208 --> 00:39:05,208
Geez, Roger. I
wonder if we're close.
811
00:39:05,333 --> 00:39:07,833
I wonder if we're close.
812
00:39:07,917 --> 00:39:10,667
We want to see
what that shaft was near.
813
00:39:10,792 --> 00:39:13,167
It's in the treasure
area, the Baby Blob,
814
00:39:13,333 --> 00:39:14,667
where the scientists tell us
815
00:39:14,750 --> 00:39:17,542
there's anomalous
amounts of metals.
816
00:39:17,708 --> 00:39:18,958
- Okay.
- Do you copy, Marty?
817
00:39:19,083 --> 00:39:20,333
Oh.
818
00:39:21,167 --> 00:39:23,417
Yeah, I copy.
819
00:39:23,542 --> 00:39:25,667
What's your thoughts down there?
820
00:39:25,792 --> 00:39:27,552
It's incredible, okay?
I mean, almost surely,
821
00:39:27,625 --> 00:39:29,500
a tunnel right
underneath us here.
822
00:39:29,625 --> 00:39:31,833
Yeah. And-and what
that thing means,
823
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:33,667
where it came from,
824
00:39:33,792 --> 00:39:35,583
is it original, we'd
like to know all that.
825
00:39:35,708 --> 00:39:37,393
This is where the treasure
hunt begins in this shaft.
826
00:39:37,417 --> 00:39:38,851
- That's what it's all about.
- You're right.
827
00:39:38,875 --> 00:39:40,042
It begins now.
828
00:39:40,208 --> 00:39:41,458
Okay.
829
00:39:41,542 --> 00:39:44,083
Okay. We're coming up.
830
00:39:44,208 --> 00:39:48,167
Despite the
fast-approaching North Atlantic winter,
831
00:39:48,292 --> 00:39:52,083
Rick, Marty and the
rest of the Fellowship
832
00:39:52,208 --> 00:39:54,458
remain undeterred in their quest
833
00:39:54,583 --> 00:39:57,333
to unlock Oak Island's
long-held secrets.
834
00:39:57,458 --> 00:40:01,500
After scouring the island...
835
00:40:01,625 --> 00:40:05,458
and making another profound
journey across the ocean,
836
00:40:05,583 --> 00:40:08,250
they have discovered
more compelling evidence
837
00:40:08,375 --> 00:40:11,458
that something of
historic proportions
838
00:40:11,542 --> 00:40:14,625
may lie buried deep
in the Money Pit.
839
00:40:14,750 --> 00:40:18,167
And now, with the
completion of the Garden Shaft,
840
00:40:18,250 --> 00:40:24,000
they just might have the
means to finally recover it.
841
00:40:25,375 --> 00:40:28,292
Next time on The
Curse of Oak Island...
842
00:40:28,417 --> 00:40:30,000
We haven't reached the edge yet.
843
00:40:30,125 --> 00:40:31,417
It's quite a massive structure.
844
00:40:31,542 --> 00:40:32,862
This could fit in
with Zena's map.
845
00:40:32,958 --> 00:40:34,292
This could be the hatch.
846
00:40:34,375 --> 00:40:36,292
Come on.
Be something good.
847
00:40:36,375 --> 00:40:37,375
Ooh, that's pretty big.
848
00:40:37,500 --> 00:40:39,667
- Wow, that is sweet.
- Whoa.
849
00:40:39,750 --> 00:40:42,917
Isotopically, it looks very similar
850
00:40:43,042 --> 00:40:44,833
- to the cross.
- No way.
851
00:40:44,958 --> 00:40:46,208
That's brilliant.
852
00:40:46,333 --> 00:40:48,167
- Oh, wow.
- There's something there.
853
00:40:48,250 --> 00:40:49,250
It could possibly be
854
00:40:49,375 --> 00:40:50,476
an original depositor tunnel.
855
00:40:50,500 --> 00:40:51,250
You've done did it.
856
00:40:51,375 --> 00:40:52,792
I feel good now.
857
00:40:52,816 --> 00:40:54,816
