1
00:00:01,257 --> 00:00:03,458
Tonight on
The Curse of Oak Island...
2
00:00:03,625 --> 00:00:06,125
We're
in the oldest prison in Malta.
3
00:00:06,250 --> 00:00:08,250
This is a place very rich
in symbolism.
4
00:00:08,417 --> 00:00:10,542
The four-dot
cross is thought to represent
5
00:00:10,750 --> 00:00:11,875
the presence of holy relics.
6
00:00:12,042 --> 00:00:14,250
There was indeed
a family bloodline
7
00:00:14,417 --> 00:00:17,000
that we can connect
to Oak Island.
8
00:00:17,167 --> 00:00:18,250
It's quite remarkable.
9
00:00:18,458 --> 00:00:20,000
This is one of the boulders
10
00:00:20,083 --> 00:00:21,667
- that's on the map.
- Come on, baby.
11
00:00:21,833 --> 00:00:23,000
Let's find a treasure.
12
00:00:23,208 --> 00:00:24,462
- What the heck is that?
- Yeah!
13
00:00:24,542 --> 00:00:26,167
Boy, that is really pretty.
14
00:00:26,375 --> 00:00:28,625
- Very ornate.
- I wasn't expecting that.
15
00:00:31,250 --> 00:00:34,417
There is an
island in the North Atlantic
16
00:00:34,542 --> 00:00:37,000
where people have
been looking for
17
00:00:37,208 --> 00:00:41,000
an incredible treasure
for more than 200 years.
18
00:00:41,208 --> 00:00:44,000
So far, they have
found a stone slab
19
00:00:44,208 --> 00:00:47,042
with strange
symbols carved into it,
20
00:00:47,208 --> 00:00:50,875
man-made workings that
date to medieval times,
21
00:00:51,042 --> 00:00:55,000
and a lead cross whose
origin may be connected
22
00:00:55,125 --> 00:00:56,125
to the Knights Templar.
23
00:00:56,292 --> 00:00:59,000
To date, six men have died
24
00:00:59,208 --> 00:01:01,917
trying to solve the mystery.
25
00:01:02,042 --> 00:01:03,792
And according to legend,
26
00:01:03,917 --> 00:01:07,125
one more will have to die
27
00:01:07,333 --> 00:01:10,667
before the treasure
can be found.
28
00:01:20,708 --> 00:01:24,542
A cool fall morning has
begun on Oak Island.
29
00:01:25,542 --> 00:01:27,958
But in the fabled
Money Pit area,
30
00:01:28,125 --> 00:01:30,208
ground repairs are
running at full steam
31
00:01:30,333 --> 00:01:34,167
in preparation for brothers
Rick and Marty Lagina
32
00:01:34,333 --> 00:01:36,833
to conduct the deepest
dig ever attempted
33
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,958
in search of a vast treasure.
34
00:01:39,083 --> 00:01:40,292
How we doing?
35
00:01:40,458 --> 00:01:42,083
You know those
crane mats over there?
36
00:01:42,250 --> 00:01:43,833
We're gonna run
'em from here to here
37
00:01:43,958 --> 00:01:46,003
to disperse the load and set
the oscillator on the crane mats.
38
00:01:46,083 --> 00:01:48,417
- On top of these?
- Yeah.
39
00:01:48,583 --> 00:01:50,583
All right.
Let's make it so.
40
00:01:51,542 --> 00:01:53,125
Over the past two months,
41
00:01:53,333 --> 00:01:55,958
the Laginas and their
team have excavated
42
00:01:56,125 --> 00:01:58,542
multiple seven-foot-diameter
steel shafts
43
00:01:58,708 --> 00:02:01,292
in locations where they
have not only detected
44
00:02:01,458 --> 00:02:05,375
high trace evidence of precious
metals deep underground
45
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:09,042
but also the legendary
Chappell Vault,
46
00:02:09,208 --> 00:02:11,708
a massive concrete-encased box
47
00:02:11,875 --> 00:02:16,000
that was first reported by
treasure hunters back in 1897
48
00:02:16,125 --> 00:02:19,667
at a depth of 153 feet.
49
00:02:22,917 --> 00:02:25,375
Hey. Stop. It's caving.
50
00:02:25,583 --> 00:02:28,833
However,
during one of their recent digs,
51
00:02:28,958 --> 00:02:31,917
just as they hoped to
retrieve the buried vault,
52
00:02:32,083 --> 00:02:36,333
the earth surrounding and
below the shaft suddenly caved in.
53
00:02:38,042 --> 00:02:40,042
This has caused
the team to speculate
54
00:02:40,250 --> 00:02:43,000
that the tons of soil
and the believed treasure
55
00:02:43,208 --> 00:02:46,083
fell into a massive natural
cavity in the bedrock
56
00:02:46,250 --> 00:02:48,167
more than 200 feet deep
57
00:02:48,333 --> 00:02:51,417
known as the solution channel.
58
00:02:53,208 --> 00:02:56,417
Now more than 50 tons
of gravel are being used
59
00:02:56,542 --> 00:02:59,500
to make the Money Pit
area safe for the team
60
00:02:59,708 --> 00:03:03,167
so they can sink another
seven-foot-diameter shaft
61
00:03:03,333 --> 00:03:05,333
all the way down into
the solution channel
62
00:03:05,542 --> 00:03:08,750
and hopefully recover
the storied riches.
63
00:03:11,208 --> 00:03:12,667
While the repairs continue
64
00:03:12,792 --> 00:03:15,667
in the Money Pit
area on Oak Island...
65
00:03:17,292 --> 00:03:21,333
more than 4,000 miles
to the east in Gozo, Malta...
66
00:03:21,500 --> 00:03:23,042
It's a grand entrance here,
67
00:03:23,208 --> 00:03:25,000
- with the bells ringing.
- Yes.
68
00:03:25,167 --> 00:03:27,170
You know
what? Maybe it's a good omen.
69
00:03:27,250 --> 00:03:30,083
Rick Lagina and other
members of the team
70
00:03:30,250 --> 00:03:32,333
are investigating
an incredible theory
71
00:03:32,542 --> 00:03:34,583
about the Oak Island mystery...
72
00:03:34,792 --> 00:03:37,167
that members of the
medieval Christian order
73
00:03:37,333 --> 00:03:39,125
known as the Knights Templar
74
00:03:39,250 --> 00:03:42,458
and a related group known
as the Knights of Malta
75
00:03:42,667 --> 00:03:46,167
made numerous visits between
the 12th and 17th centuries
76
00:03:46,375 --> 00:03:49,542
in order to hide priceless
religious treasures
77
00:03:49,708 --> 00:03:52,250
all across the island.
78
00:03:52,458 --> 00:03:56,167
We're in, within the
walls of the old citadel in Gozo.
79
00:03:56,375 --> 00:03:58,667
So, after they built Valletta
80
00:03:58,792 --> 00:04:01,292
in 1571,
81
00:04:01,458 --> 00:04:03,292
the Knights of Malta
started improving
82
00:04:03,458 --> 00:04:05,000
the fortification of Malta,
83
00:04:05,208 --> 00:04:07,500
the other cities
around Valletta,
84
00:04:07,667 --> 00:04:09,333
and eventually
around here in Gozo.
85
00:04:11,667 --> 00:04:13,333
Over the past decade,
86
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:15,417
Rick, Marty, and their team
87
00:04:15,583 --> 00:04:17,667
have made a number
of shocking discoveries
88
00:04:17,833 --> 00:04:20,875
that may be related
to the Templar order...
89
00:04:22,125 --> 00:04:24,833
such as a 14th
century lead cross
90
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,708
and numerous stone
structures that could date back
91
00:04:28,875 --> 00:04:32,250
to as early as 1200 AD.
92
00:04:33,250 --> 00:04:35,083
It's just absolutely incredible.
93
00:04:35,250 --> 00:04:36,875
And, incredibly,
94
00:04:37,042 --> 00:04:40,875
just after their arrival in
Valletta, Malta one week ago...
95
00:04:41,042 --> 00:04:42,833
Is this clay?
96
00:04:43,042 --> 00:04:44,875
It's grayish, bluish.
97
00:04:45,042 --> 00:04:46,292
The legend
98
00:04:46,458 --> 00:04:48,750
tells of flood
tunnels on the island.
99
00:04:48,917 --> 00:04:51,833
Rick and the team
saw underground tunnels
100
00:04:52,042 --> 00:04:55,500
that were built by the Knights
of Malta in the 16th century
101
00:04:55,625 --> 00:04:58,208
with a similar design
to the description
102
00:04:58,375 --> 00:05:00,833
of the original Money Pit.
103
00:05:00,958 --> 00:05:04,542
I did come across a
similar pattern here.
104
00:05:04,708 --> 00:05:06,625
They also confirmed
105
00:05:06,792 --> 00:05:09,875
that a mysterious button
featuring a starburst pattern
106
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,125
and which was found
one year ago on Oak Island
107
00:05:13,250 --> 00:05:16,333
may also be connected
to the Maltese order.
108
00:05:16,542 --> 00:05:19,042
I think it is highly suggestive
109
00:05:19,208 --> 00:05:21,000
that the Knights of Malta
110
00:05:21,208 --> 00:05:23,667
or an evolution of
the Knights of Malta
111
00:05:23,833 --> 00:05:26,667
may have had something to
do with the Oak Island mystery.
112
00:05:26,833 --> 00:05:30,333
There's a lot of
excitement about it
113
00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:33,250
and an imperative
to follow those leads.
114
00:05:33,417 --> 00:05:36,708
So the reason why we're
here today is to take a look
115
00:05:36,917 --> 00:05:39,083
at the old prison
that is up there.
116
00:05:39,208 --> 00:05:41,583
And the people here
bided their time by scratching
117
00:05:41,792 --> 00:05:44,792
the-their beliefs and their
symbols into the walls.
118
00:05:44,958 --> 00:05:47,000
We'll also find some symbols
119
00:05:47,125 --> 00:05:50,000
that remind us very, very
much of the stuff we've seen
120
00:05:50,208 --> 00:05:51,875
on Oak Island.
121
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,375
After fending off an invasion
122
00:05:54,542 --> 00:05:57,833
by the Ottoman Empire in 1551,
123
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,917
the citadel of Victoria,
also known as Cittadella,
124
00:06:02,083 --> 00:06:05,167
was reconstructed in 1599
125
00:06:05,375 --> 00:06:07,667
with the help of
the Knights of Malta
126
00:06:07,833 --> 00:06:11,083
to serve as a
fortification and prison.
127
00:06:11,250 --> 00:06:13,500
Okay, why don't we
go to the old prison?
128
00:06:13,708 --> 00:06:15,583
- Okay. -Perfect.
- That's great.
129
00:06:15,708 --> 00:06:18,917
However,
some researchers believe
130
00:06:19,083 --> 00:06:21,333
that it may have also
been used by the knights
131
00:06:21,542 --> 00:06:23,833
to hide Templar-related
treasures
132
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,500
before they were
transferred to Oak Island
133
00:06:26,708 --> 00:06:29,000
in the 17th century.
134
00:06:30,042 --> 00:06:33,750
We're in the-the
oldest prison in Malta.
135
00:06:33,875 --> 00:06:38,208
And, this is a place
very rich in, symbolism,
136
00:06:38,417 --> 00:06:40,083
carvings, graffiti.
137
00:06:40,208 --> 00:06:43,417
But I-I would like, before we
get in, to show you something.
138
00:06:43,583 --> 00:06:46,167
It's actually, behind you.
139
00:06:47,208 --> 00:06:49,792
There's something there
that you might recognize.
140
00:06:49,917 --> 00:06:50,917
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
141
00:06:51,875 --> 00:06:53,253
- That four-dot cross.
- And...
142
00:06:53,333 --> 00:06:54,708
- Four-dot cross.
- Yeah.
143
00:06:54,917 --> 00:06:56,792
The four-dot cross is thought
144
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,000
to represent the
presence of holy relics
145
00:06:59,167 --> 00:07:00,167
at some point in time.
146
00:07:00,292 --> 00:07:01,500
- Yeah.
- And that's carved
147
00:07:01,667 --> 00:07:04,375
on the H+O Stone
back on Oak Island.
148
00:07:04,542 --> 00:07:07,000
Discovered on the northern shore
149
00:07:07,167 --> 00:07:09,333
of Oak Island in 1921,
150
00:07:09,542 --> 00:07:11,667
the so-called H+O Stone
151
00:07:11,875 --> 00:07:14,250
was a fragment of a
much larger boulder
152
00:07:14,417 --> 00:07:16,208
that was blown
apart by searchers
153
00:07:16,417 --> 00:07:18,000
who mistakenly believed
154
00:07:18,208 --> 00:07:21,875
that it marked the
location of buried treasure.
155
00:07:22,875 --> 00:07:25,375
The H+O symbol featured a cross
156
00:07:25,542 --> 00:07:28,542
surrounded by four
dots carved into it.
157
00:07:29,458 --> 00:07:31,458
And in recent years,
158
00:07:31,625 --> 00:07:33,167
the team has not
only found this symbol
159
00:07:33,375 --> 00:07:37,208
at numerous Templar-related
sites throughout Europe,
160
00:07:37,375 --> 00:07:40,292
including Portugal,
161
00:07:40,375 --> 00:07:42,708
Italy,
162
00:07:42,917 --> 00:07:44,958
Denmark,
163
00:07:45,125 --> 00:07:47,333
and the Netherlands,
164
00:07:47,417 --> 00:07:50,333
but have also learned
that it may represent
165
00:07:50,500 --> 00:07:54,125
the presence of
religious artifacts.
166
00:07:54,250 --> 00:07:56,458
Maybe this, before
being a prison,
167
00:07:56,625 --> 00:07:58,917
was a place to hide or,
168
00:07:59,083 --> 00:08:01,500
you know, keep something
that was special to the order.
169
00:08:01,667 --> 00:08:03,500
The four-dot cross,
170
00:08:03,708 --> 00:08:04,708
it is on Oak Island.
171
00:08:04,833 --> 00:08:06,333
There's no getting around that.
172
00:08:06,542 --> 00:08:08,333
We have to follow up on this.
173
00:08:08,458 --> 00:08:10,458
It's incredibly important.
174
00:08:10,625 --> 00:08:12,385
- Yeah.
- So, guys,
175
00:08:12,542 --> 00:08:16,125
why don't we go into the,
the actual prison?
176
00:08:16,292 --> 00:08:19,042
And then maybe we can split
and take a look at the carvings.
177
00:08:19,208 --> 00:08:21,328
- Sure.
- Okay. Sounds good. Let's do it.
178
00:08:21,417 --> 00:08:24,000
As Rick and
the team search for clues
179
00:08:24,167 --> 00:08:27,125
at the Cittadella
in Gozo, Malta...
180
00:08:28,542 --> 00:08:30,375
Okay. I
have been informed
181
00:08:30,542 --> 00:08:32,375
that you guys have
found something you find
182
00:08:32,542 --> 00:08:34,792
pretty exciting,
pretty interesting.
183
00:08:34,958 --> 00:08:37,458
Back on Oak Island, Marty Lagina
184
00:08:37,667 --> 00:08:40,583
is meeting with
archaeologist Laird Niven,
185
00:08:40,708 --> 00:08:43,167
archaeometallurgist
Emma Culligan,
186
00:08:43,333 --> 00:08:44,667
and other members of the team
187
00:08:44,833 --> 00:08:47,542
- in the lab.
- So, is this it here?
188
00:08:47,708 --> 00:08:49,167
- Yeah.
- He is eager
189
00:08:49,375 --> 00:08:51,417
to hear Laird and
Emma's analysis
190
00:08:51,583 --> 00:08:54,417
of an ornate button
found one week ago
191
00:08:54,583 --> 00:08:57,833
in the mysterious
round feature on Lot 5,
192
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,417
a feature that Laird believes
may have been used as a campsite
193
00:09:02,542 --> 00:09:05,500
by multiple groups
prior to the 18th century
194
00:09:05,708 --> 00:09:08,000
and also where they have found
195
00:09:08,125 --> 00:09:11,208
a potentially
Templar-related barter token
196
00:09:11,375 --> 00:09:14,667
as well as the starburst button.
197
00:09:14,833 --> 00:09:17,417
That is really pretty cool.
198
00:09:17,583 --> 00:09:18,920
I can see why you're
excited about this.
199
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,500
I was most
interested in the eye.
200
00:09:21,625 --> 00:09:25,000
The eye was a very robust,
almost rectangular eye.
201
00:09:25,208 --> 00:09:28,167
And, to me, that's earlier
202
00:09:28,375 --> 00:09:29,833
than mid-1700s.
203
00:09:31,167 --> 00:09:32,462
That's what really struck me.
204
00:09:32,542 --> 00:09:34,500
Until we did the CT scan.
205
00:09:34,708 --> 00:09:36,167
Okay. Let's see it.
206
00:09:36,292 --> 00:09:38,750
And it revealed...
207
00:09:38,917 --> 00:09:40,920
- Boy, that is really pretty.
- Whoa.
208
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,500
- Yeah. -I wasn't expecting that.
- No.
209
00:09:43,708 --> 00:09:44,542
Very ornate.
210
00:09:44,708 --> 00:09:45,625
The back
211
00:09:45,750 --> 00:09:48,958
is mostly, um, leaded brass,
212
00:09:49,083 --> 00:09:50,333
but the body itself
213
00:09:50,500 --> 00:09:52,542
is zinc and copper,
214
00:09:52,708 --> 00:09:56,208
which is a less technical
manufacturing process.
215
00:09:56,375 --> 00:09:57,500
So it could indicate
216
00:09:57,708 --> 00:09:59,333
an older technique.
217
00:09:59,500 --> 00:10:01,333
So, compositionally,
218
00:10:01,500 --> 00:10:03,417
somewhat sitting between, um,
219
00:10:03,583 --> 00:10:05,833
mid-1600s to 1700s.
220
00:10:06,042 --> 00:10:07,833
And I think we just
need to do more work
221
00:10:08,042 --> 00:10:09,667
in order to narrow
that date range.
222
00:10:09,875 --> 00:10:12,333
Well, you can't help but
compare it to the starburst button.
223
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:13,833
- Exactly.
- Yeah.
224
00:10:14,042 --> 00:10:16,583
Can you pull that up so
we can look at the two...
225
00:10:16,708 --> 00:10:18,000
juxtaposed?
226
00:10:18,208 --> 00:10:19,000
Yeah.
227
00:10:19,208 --> 00:10:20,375
Wow.
228
00:10:20,542 --> 00:10:22,125
They really are similar.
229
00:10:22,292 --> 00:10:25,458
The way that the starburst
kind of turns with its lines,
230
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:28,042
it's very similar
to the other button.
231
00:10:28,208 --> 00:10:31,750
Another
potential 17th century button
232
00:10:31,917 --> 00:10:33,833
found in the feature on Lot 5
233
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,625
and similar to the
so-called starburst button,
234
00:10:37,833 --> 00:10:40,958
which may have
originated in Malta?
235
00:10:41,042 --> 00:10:44,917
Is it possible that the team
has unearthed a second clue
236
00:10:45,042 --> 00:10:48,458
that could link the Knights of
Malta to the Oak Island mystery?
237
00:10:48,583 --> 00:10:49,628
Something happened here.
238
00:10:49,708 --> 00:10:50,708
- Yeah.
- Something...
239
00:10:50,792 --> 00:10:52,458
significant.
240
00:10:52,583 --> 00:10:54,625
Something unknown to history.
241
00:10:55,542 --> 00:10:56,742
Well, look, you know what,
242
00:10:56,875 --> 00:10:59,000
anything in the
1600s on this island
243
00:10:59,208 --> 00:11:00,000
is, pretty exciting.
244
00:11:00,208 --> 00:11:01,292
Yeah.
245
00:11:01,417 --> 00:11:02,917
Okay. You two come with me.
246
00:11:03,125 --> 00:11:04,628
- Let's go find some stuff.
- All right. See you later.
247
00:11:04,708 --> 00:11:06,625
- Yeah. See you. Thank you.
- See you.
248
00:11:12,958 --> 00:11:14,587
Have a look back
here, Rick, see what you think.
249
00:11:14,667 --> 00:11:16,625
On the Maltese island of Gozo,
250
00:11:16,833 --> 00:11:20,375
some 4,000 miles
east of Oak Island...
251
00:11:20,542 --> 00:11:22,878
Here's the symbol here. I just
wanted to get your take on it.
252
00:11:22,958 --> 00:11:25,875
Rick Lagina and other
members of the team
253
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,542
are at a 16th century citadel
254
00:11:28,708 --> 00:11:30,750
looking for more
clues that may connect
255
00:11:30,875 --> 00:11:32,875
the Knights of Malta
256
00:11:33,042 --> 00:11:37,125
and the Knights Templar to the
230-year-old treasure mystery.
257
00:11:38,125 --> 00:11:41,083
We're here in the citadel
to investigate the possibility
258
00:11:41,292 --> 00:11:42,542
that there's a connection
259
00:11:42,708 --> 00:11:44,420
between Oak Island
and the Knights of Malta.
260
00:11:44,500 --> 00:11:47,250
We have a list of symbols
that we want to investigate,
261
00:11:47,375 --> 00:11:50,333
so I most hope to
flesh out that connection
262
00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:51,750
from both sides here.
263
00:11:51,917 --> 00:11:54,000
This section of the
wall is pretty interesting.
264
00:11:54,167 --> 00:11:55,462
We've seen this
here, this symbol here,
265
00:11:55,542 --> 00:11:57,292
in Italy for sure.
266
00:11:57,458 --> 00:11:59,167
Six petals in a circle.
267
00:11:59,333 --> 00:12:01,413
- This might be very significant.
- Yeah.
268
00:12:01,542 --> 00:12:03,750
So this is yet another very...
269
00:12:03,875 --> 00:12:05,667
uniquely shaped symbol
270
00:12:05,833 --> 00:12:06,878
that we've seen
in-in conjunction
271
00:12:06,958 --> 00:12:08,667
with the Knights Templar
272
00:12:08,833 --> 00:12:09,667
and now we might be
seeing in conjunction
273
00:12:09,833 --> 00:12:11,250
with the Knights of Malta.
274
00:12:11,458 --> 00:12:13,333
And hopefully we can
prove out connections
275
00:12:13,542 --> 00:12:14,542
to Oak Island.
276
00:12:14,667 --> 00:12:16,833
This almost looks like a code.
277
00:12:16,958 --> 00:12:18,833
Some kind of code.
278
00:12:18,958 --> 00:12:20,318
Something's being said there,
279
00:12:20,417 --> 00:12:21,917
in my opinion.
280
00:12:22,083 --> 00:12:24,458
- There's the circle and dot.
- Yeah.
281
00:12:24,625 --> 00:12:25,833
There's some,
282
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,125
- 90 Foot Stone symbolism there.
- Yeah.
283
00:12:29,125 --> 00:12:32,167
A carved symbol in Gozo, Malta
284
00:12:32,375 --> 00:12:35,792
matching one found
on the 90 Foot Stone?
285
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,542
Unearthed in 1804
at a depth of 90 feet
286
00:12:39,708 --> 00:12:41,792
in the original Money Pit,
287
00:12:41,958 --> 00:12:45,667
the 90 Foot Stone was
covered with cryptic symbols.
288
00:12:45,875 --> 00:12:46,875
Upon its removal,
289
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,875
the shaft flooded with seawater,
290
00:12:50,042 --> 00:12:51,500
leaving searchers to believe
291
00:12:51,708 --> 00:12:53,042
that a great
treasure was guarded
292
00:12:53,208 --> 00:12:56,417
by an ingeniously
designed flood tunnel.
293
00:12:56,583 --> 00:12:58,125
Would be nice to do
294
00:12:58,333 --> 00:13:00,500
a comprehensive
study of all this.
295
00:13:00,667 --> 00:13:03,667
Is it
possible that here in Gozo...
296
00:13:04,708 --> 00:13:08,333
the Oak Island team has
found not only a familiar symbol
297
00:13:08,542 --> 00:13:10,417
that depicts religious treasures
298
00:13:10,542 --> 00:13:14,208
but also another one
related to a booby trap
299
00:13:14,375 --> 00:13:18,250
that may be protecting such
things deep in the Money Pit?
300
00:13:18,375 --> 00:13:20,708
Every time you find
something that you think
301
00:13:20,917 --> 00:13:24,542
is relatable to our quest to
solve the Oak Island mystery,
302
00:13:24,750 --> 00:13:26,333
you pay attention.
303
00:13:26,500 --> 00:13:29,000
And we see some of these
same symbols represented
304
00:13:29,083 --> 00:13:31,500
in the characters
on the 90 Foot Stone.
305
00:13:31,667 --> 00:13:33,000
Eerily similar.
306
00:13:33,958 --> 00:13:35,708
I don't know about
the rest of you,
307
00:13:35,875 --> 00:13:37,795
but today has just solidified
for me my impression
308
00:13:37,875 --> 00:13:40,583
that we've got old-world
European symbolism
309
00:13:40,750 --> 00:13:42,208
- on Oak Island.
- Absolutely.
310
00:13:42,375 --> 00:13:45,167
We see these same
symbols on the island.
311
00:13:45,375 --> 00:13:47,000
We can't escape that.
312
00:13:47,208 --> 00:13:50,208
There was information
that was deemed necessary
313
00:13:50,375 --> 00:13:53,333
to place on these
walls literally in stone.
314
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:56,167
If you're going to feel it's
important enough to write it
315
00:13:56,333 --> 00:13:58,292
in stone, you're gonna
write it on documents,
316
00:13:58,458 --> 00:14:02,500
and those documents
would be housed somewhere.
317
00:14:02,667 --> 00:14:04,333
- Yeah.
- My takeaway is,
318
00:14:04,500 --> 00:14:06,170
- there's a lot more work to do.
- Yeah.
319
00:14:06,250 --> 00:14:09,208
- Let's go find it.
- Absolutely.
320
00:14:09,375 --> 00:14:13,042
As Rick and the
team continue their journey in Malta...
321
00:14:13,958 --> 00:14:15,292
back on Oak Island,
322
00:14:15,500 --> 00:14:18,500
as the search for clues
proceeds on Lot 5...
323
00:14:19,833 --> 00:14:21,083
This is one
324
00:14:21,250 --> 00:14:22,545
of the boulders
that's on the map.
325
00:14:22,625 --> 00:14:24,000
Yeah. That's right.
326
00:14:24,167 --> 00:14:26,000
Marty Lagina, Craig Tester,
327
00:14:26,208 --> 00:14:28,000
and other members of the team
328
00:14:28,208 --> 00:14:31,167
are hoping to unearth
valuables on Lot 1,
329
00:14:31,333 --> 00:14:34,417
over half a mile
west of the Money Pit.
330
00:14:35,458 --> 00:14:36,962
If we move
this rock, we might find
331
00:14:37,042 --> 00:14:39,042
some more evidence
if it was placed or not.
332
00:14:39,208 --> 00:14:40,208
Okay.
333
00:14:40,292 --> 00:14:42,667
This is the Blair treasure map.
334
00:14:42,875 --> 00:14:44,333
From what we can gather,
335
00:14:44,500 --> 00:14:46,958
there were three
separate treasure caches.
336
00:14:47,125 --> 00:14:48,375
Earlier this year,
337
00:14:48,542 --> 00:14:50,750
Doug Crowell, Judi Rudebusch,
338
00:14:50,917 --> 00:14:53,417
and historian Terry Deveau
339
00:14:53,583 --> 00:14:55,083
presented the team
340
00:14:55,250 --> 00:14:58,917
with a 19th century map of
the western end of Oak Island
341
00:14:59,042 --> 00:15:01,958
that was created by the
legendary treasure hunter
342
00:15:02,125 --> 00:15:03,625
Frederick Blair,
343
00:15:03,792 --> 00:15:05,875
one of the men
who first reported
344
00:15:06,042 --> 00:15:10,333
the so-called
Chappell Vault in 1897.
345
00:15:10,458 --> 00:15:12,833
There were three original
notations on the map.
346
00:15:13,042 --> 00:15:14,667
Three stones that
were indicated.
347
00:15:14,792 --> 00:15:16,708
Curiously,
348
00:15:16,875 --> 00:15:19,958
the map depicted three boulders,
349
00:15:20,167 --> 00:15:23,792
which Blair believed may have
been placed centuries earlier
350
00:15:23,917 --> 00:15:25,958
in order to mark the
approximate locations
351
00:15:26,083 --> 00:15:28,833
of shallow treasure deposits...
352
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,125
That's what we're talking about!
353
00:15:31,250 --> 00:15:33,333
Yeah. No
mistaking this one.
354
00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:36,042
Boulders which the
team has already verified
355
00:15:36,208 --> 00:15:38,000
were in the correct places
356
00:15:38,125 --> 00:15:40,333
according to the map.
357
00:15:40,542 --> 00:15:41,917
All right.
358
00:15:42,042 --> 00:15:43,722
Without further ado,
let's find a treasure.
359
00:15:46,792 --> 00:15:48,875
Now, while
they wait for the repairs
360
00:15:49,042 --> 00:15:50,667
to be completed in
the Money Pit area,
361
00:15:50,875 --> 00:15:55,167
Marty and Craig want to
see if they can also verify
362
00:15:55,333 --> 00:15:59,000
that treasure is or once was
buried beneath the boulders.
363
00:16:03,542 --> 00:16:05,542
It might be bigger
than I initially thought.
364
00:16:06,667 --> 00:16:08,000
Ooh, yeah!
365
00:16:08,167 --> 00:16:09,833
Somewhat diamond-shaped?
366
00:16:10,042 --> 00:16:12,583
- Point at the bottom.
- Yeah.
367
00:16:13,875 --> 00:16:16,542
That boulder
is massive. A lot bigger
368
00:16:16,750 --> 00:16:18,230
than it looks when
it's in the ground.
369
00:16:18,333 --> 00:16:21,833
It was just barely pushed
into the "C" horizon.
370
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,042
It could have been
put here by humans.
371
00:16:25,208 --> 00:16:27,333
- Well, why don't you metal-detect it, Gary?
- Yeah.
372
00:16:36,125 --> 00:16:37,417
Ooh, I got a good hit here.
373
00:16:37,583 --> 00:16:39,083
Jack, get it out of there.
374
00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:46,500
It's here.
375
00:16:48,375 --> 00:16:50,083
Look at that.
376
00:16:51,083 --> 00:16:52,333
That's hand-forged.
377
00:16:52,542 --> 00:16:54,750
I think it's a fastener.
378
00:16:54,917 --> 00:16:56,212
Well, you don't
suppose it just fell out
379
00:16:56,292 --> 00:16:57,462
of that timber you're
standing on, do you?
380
00:16:57,542 --> 00:16:58,917
Yeah.
381
00:16:59,083 --> 00:17:00,750
So that timber
is pretty old, then.
382
00:17:00,875 --> 00:17:02,375
And so could this.
383
00:17:03,917 --> 00:17:06,500
- A
- hand-forged iron fastener
384
00:17:06,667 --> 00:17:08,333
and a wooden timber
385
00:17:08,500 --> 00:17:11,042
found under a boulder
that was identified
386
00:17:11,208 --> 00:17:13,958
on Frederick Blair's
believed treasure map?
387
00:17:14,125 --> 00:17:16,500
Could that mean
something of great value
388
00:17:16,667 --> 00:17:19,833
could also be
buried in this area?
389
00:17:19,958 --> 00:17:22,458
Why don't you grab this timber?
390
00:17:22,583 --> 00:17:23,667
All right.
391
00:17:33,708 --> 00:17:35,125
Wow!
392
00:17:36,125 --> 00:17:37,125
It looks like,
393
00:17:37,250 --> 00:17:39,042
again, somebody or somebodies
394
00:17:39,208 --> 00:17:40,688
were messing around
with that boulder.
395
00:17:41,917 --> 00:17:45,167
We might be uncovering
another structure.
396
00:17:47,542 --> 00:17:49,667
This is a wedge.
397
00:17:49,833 --> 00:17:51,042
Yeah!
398
00:17:51,250 --> 00:17:52,667
Nice find, Craig.
399
00:17:53,625 --> 00:17:55,583
So somebody was definitely
400
00:17:55,708 --> 00:17:58,167
in and around that boulder
quite a long time ago.
401
00:17:58,375 --> 00:17:59,833
I'm just gonna
go a little further.
402
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,167
Sounds good.
403
00:18:09,208 --> 00:18:11,042
What the heck is that?
404
00:18:12,625 --> 00:18:15,333
- That's really weird.
- Yeah.
405
00:18:19,958 --> 00:18:21,128
- That's really weird.
- Yeah.
406
00:18:21,208 --> 00:18:22,833
Look at that.
407
00:18:23,042 --> 00:18:23,833
That's a hell of a lot of rocks.
408
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,583
A pile of rocks.
409
00:18:25,750 --> 00:18:28,125
It looks like the
rocks could have been...
410
00:18:28,292 --> 00:18:30,583
manipulated and placed there.
411
00:18:32,042 --> 00:18:34,587
- And we have a ring of boulders.
- No kidding.
412
00:18:34,667 --> 00:18:36,625
It is an exciting moment
413
00:18:36,708 --> 00:18:39,958
for the Oak Island
team on Lot 1.
414
00:18:40,125 --> 00:18:43,292
After lifting a boulder
which was marked
415
00:18:43,458 --> 00:18:45,667
on a believed 19th
century treasure map
416
00:18:45,792 --> 00:18:47,917
related to Frederick Blair,
417
00:18:48,125 --> 00:18:50,333
they have just unearthed
what appears to be
418
00:18:50,500 --> 00:18:54,125
a man-made ring of large stones.
419
00:18:54,292 --> 00:18:56,667
This seems like an
intentional jumble.
420
00:18:56,875 --> 00:18:58,000
Yeah.
421
00:18:58,208 --> 00:18:59,750
But if so, who built it?
422
00:18:59,917 --> 00:19:02,917
And what might the team
find buried underneath it?
423
00:19:03,083 --> 00:19:05,250
What do you want to dig next?
424
00:19:05,417 --> 00:19:06,917
Let's dig a five-foot, radius.
425
00:19:07,042 --> 00:19:08,625
Agreed.
426
00:19:12,458 --> 00:19:14,128
Following the
map is pretty exciting.
427
00:19:14,208 --> 00:19:15,958
As we pulled the boulder out,
428
00:19:16,083 --> 00:19:19,125
there was evidence there was
a lot more rocks around there.
429
00:19:19,333 --> 00:19:22,292
I'm not sure
what to think of it,
430
00:19:22,417 --> 00:19:24,250
but they look like they
were put there by man,
431
00:19:24,417 --> 00:19:25,833
and we need to pursue it.
432
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,167
You want to
metal-detect this, Gary?
433
00:19:28,333 --> 00:19:29,333
Yep.
434
00:19:34,708 --> 00:19:36,167
That's good.
435
00:19:36,292 --> 00:19:37,792
- Just here, please.
- Yep.
436
00:19:47,208 --> 00:19:48,833
Let me see if I can pinpoint it.
437
00:19:52,542 --> 00:19:53,792
No, it's here.
438
00:19:57,375 --> 00:19:58,958
- Whoa!
- Ooh! Wow.
439
00:19:59,083 --> 00:20:00,833
That's a chunky guy.
440
00:20:01,042 --> 00:20:02,667
Yeah.
441
00:20:02,792 --> 00:20:05,167
Some kind of iron pin.
442
00:20:07,250 --> 00:20:10,458
It's got, like, a-a
wrought iron look to it.
443
00:20:10,625 --> 00:20:13,375
You can see some
striations going down it.
444
00:20:13,542 --> 00:20:14,917
So that's really old.
445
00:20:15,125 --> 00:20:17,333
Yeah. It
was way down there.
446
00:20:17,500 --> 00:20:18,958
So, another artifact.
447
00:20:19,125 --> 00:20:20,458
That's a good one for Emma.
448
00:20:20,583 --> 00:20:22,458
Yep. All
right, put it in the bag.
449
00:20:22,625 --> 00:20:24,170
Wait, Gary, why don't
you go ahead and sweep
450
00:20:24,250 --> 00:20:25,250
the bottom of this?
451
00:20:25,375 --> 00:20:27,708
Okay, mate. Coming in.
452
00:20:29,500 --> 00:20:30,708
Good hit just here.
453
00:20:30,875 --> 00:20:31,875
Nice!
454
00:20:33,667 --> 00:20:35,545
Is it in that piece of wood?
455
00:20:35,625 --> 00:20:36,792
Maybe.
456
00:20:36,958 --> 00:20:38,458
Only one way to find out.
457
00:20:41,833 --> 00:20:43,458
Let's see.
458
00:20:45,917 --> 00:20:47,208
Is that it?
459
00:20:47,375 --> 00:20:49,833
We've got another
piece of old iron
460
00:20:50,042 --> 00:20:51,792
- by the look of it.
- Yeah!
461
00:20:51,917 --> 00:20:52,917
Yeah.
462
00:20:53,125 --> 00:20:53,958
I mean, look at that.
463
00:20:54,125 --> 00:20:55,500
It's got a hook on it.
464
00:20:56,500 --> 00:20:58,333
Unless it's bent round.
465
00:20:58,542 --> 00:20:59,875
And, you know what,
466
00:21:00,042 --> 00:21:01,208
this is really heavy.
467
00:21:01,375 --> 00:21:02,458
- I mean...
- Is it?
468
00:21:02,583 --> 00:21:04,125
This is hand-forged.
469
00:21:04,250 --> 00:21:05,500
What the hell's going on here?
470
00:21:05,708 --> 00:21:08,750
I don't know, but someone
was here a long time ago
471
00:21:08,875 --> 00:21:11,125
'cause this is old iron.
472
00:21:11,208 --> 00:21:13,542
It sure seems like we're
confirming the map.
473
00:21:13,708 --> 00:21:15,958
- Yep.
- Well, sweep the rest of the hole.
474
00:21:16,125 --> 00:21:18,625
Right. Let's add
to the trophy list.
475
00:21:24,417 --> 00:21:26,542
Nope, that was it. Darn it.
476
00:21:26,667 --> 00:21:29,958
- Well, we well and truly explored it, too.
- Yeah.
477
00:21:30,167 --> 00:21:32,542
Although
the team is disappointed
478
00:21:32,708 --> 00:21:34,708
to have not found
anything of value
479
00:21:34,917 --> 00:21:37,542
beneath the
man-made stone feature,
480
00:21:37,708 --> 00:21:41,000
could that be because
it is merely a marker
481
00:21:41,208 --> 00:21:44,750
for valuables that are buried
somewhere else in the area?
482
00:21:44,875 --> 00:21:47,667
Regardless, if the
team can determine
483
00:21:47,792 --> 00:21:51,208
the age and possible
origin of these artifacts,
484
00:21:51,375 --> 00:21:53,667
they may still
represent valuable clues
485
00:21:53,875 --> 00:21:58,167
toward identifying just
who created this feature.
486
00:21:59,208 --> 00:22:02,833
We have several other places
on the map to go and explore.
487
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,500
And we're burning daylight.
488
00:22:05,625 --> 00:22:06,795
We should dig every one
489
00:22:06,875 --> 00:22:09,333
of the Goodwin
map rocks, for sure.
490
00:22:09,542 --> 00:22:12,167
There could be other
places on the map
491
00:22:12,333 --> 00:22:14,083
that are still hiding something.
492
00:22:14,250 --> 00:22:15,333
So we can dig
493
00:22:15,458 --> 00:22:17,083
and hopefully find more stuff.
494
00:22:17,208 --> 00:22:18,667
We need to move
on with the hunt.
495
00:22:18,875 --> 00:22:20,917
- Yeah.
- Sounds good.
496
00:22:21,083 --> 00:22:24,125
And hopefully find the treasure
associated with the map.
497
00:22:24,292 --> 00:22:26,000
Leave no stone unturned.
498
00:22:26,208 --> 00:22:28,000
That's right!
499
00:22:28,167 --> 00:22:30,667
As the team
continues their investigation
500
00:22:30,792 --> 00:22:33,375
on the western
end of the island,
501
00:22:33,542 --> 00:22:37,458
over 4,000 miles
away in Malta...
502
00:22:38,708 --> 00:22:40,000
Welcome, everyone...
503
00:22:44,708 --> 00:22:46,128
Rick and members of the team
504
00:22:46,208 --> 00:22:48,208
have traveled to Mdina,
505
00:22:48,417 --> 00:22:50,542
the one-time capital
when the Knights of Malta
506
00:22:50,708 --> 00:22:53,500
first took control
of the island nation
507
00:22:53,667 --> 00:22:56,000
back in the early 16th century.
508
00:22:58,375 --> 00:23:01,500
Here, author and
researcher Corjan Mol
509
00:23:01,667 --> 00:23:04,292
has arranged to present them
510
00:23:04,375 --> 00:23:06,292
with new research,
which he believes
511
00:23:06,458 --> 00:23:08,292
will further connect
the Knights of Malta
512
00:23:08,417 --> 00:23:10,458
to the Oak Island mystery.
513
00:23:15,042 --> 00:23:16,042
Okay.
514
00:23:54,583 --> 00:23:57,958
In Jerusalem in 1187,
515
00:23:58,083 --> 00:24:01,000
in Acre, 1291,
516
00:24:01,167 --> 00:24:04,917
in Ruad, in Rhodes,
517
00:24:05,083 --> 00:24:07,042
in Paris...
518
00:24:35,333 --> 00:24:37,708
Wow. Interesting.
519
00:24:48,917 --> 00:24:51,333
At the Palazzo
Falson in Mdina, Malta,
520
00:24:51,500 --> 00:24:54,667
author and researcher Corjan Mol
521
00:24:54,750 --> 00:24:57,375
is presenting Rick Lagina
and members of the team
522
00:24:57,542 --> 00:25:00,125
with compelling new research.
523
00:25:07,042 --> 00:25:09,167
Research that he believes
524
00:25:09,292 --> 00:25:11,542
could link a family connected
to the Knights of Malta
525
00:25:11,750 --> 00:25:14,042
to priceless treasures,
526
00:25:14,167 --> 00:25:16,875
as well as the
Oak Island mystery.
527
00:25:30,750 --> 00:25:32,500
Yeah. Yeah.
528
00:25:33,667 --> 00:25:36,000
In 1307, we
have Gérard de Villiers.
529
00:26:15,625 --> 00:26:18,000
After serving
and fighting on behalf
530
00:26:18,208 --> 00:26:21,292
of the Catholic Church
for nearly two centuries,
531
00:26:21,458 --> 00:26:25,500
on Friday, October 13th, 1307,
532
00:26:25,708 --> 00:26:29,625
Pope Clement V and
King Philip IV of France
533
00:26:29,750 --> 00:26:31,708
made the stunning decision
534
00:26:31,917 --> 00:26:35,583
to dissolve and prosecute the
order of the Knights Templar,
535
00:26:35,792 --> 00:26:37,500
on charges of heresy.
536
00:26:37,708 --> 00:26:41,292
However, some
researchers believe
537
00:26:41,417 --> 00:26:45,375
that the actual purpose was
to acquire the priceless relics
538
00:26:45,542 --> 00:26:46,875
that the Templars were rumored
539
00:26:47,042 --> 00:26:49,042
to have recovered
in the Holy Land,
540
00:26:49,208 --> 00:26:52,917
including the golden menorah
from King Solomon's Temple,
541
00:26:53,083 --> 00:26:56,750
the Holy Grail and the
Ark of the Covenant.
542
00:26:56,917 --> 00:26:59,958
Treasures which the Templars
543
00:27:00,125 --> 00:27:02,000
may have begun
transporting to Oak Island
544
00:27:02,167 --> 00:27:05,667
as early as 1200 AD.
545
00:27:05,833 --> 00:27:08,458
Although many
Templars were arrested,
546
00:27:08,625 --> 00:27:10,167
imprisoned and executed,
547
00:27:10,375 --> 00:27:12,833
some are known to have escaped,
548
00:27:13,042 --> 00:27:17,000
and their remaining treasures
disappeared without a trace.
549
00:27:36,208 --> 00:27:37,292
Very interesting.
550
00:28:25,042 --> 00:28:28,542
In 1632, French Naval captain
551
00:28:28,708 --> 00:28:31,750
and Knight of Malta
Isaac de Razilly
552
00:28:31,917 --> 00:28:34,000
commanded an
expedition to North America
553
00:28:34,208 --> 00:28:37,833
in order to establish
France's colony of Acadia,
554
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,917
now known as Nova Scotia.
555
00:28:42,208 --> 00:28:44,958
For his efforts, he
was appointed the title
556
00:28:45,125 --> 00:28:47,875
of lieutenant general
for New France.
557
00:28:48,042 --> 00:28:51,458
Curiously, the site
that de Razilly chose
558
00:28:51,667 --> 00:28:53,083
for the colony's headquarters
559
00:28:53,208 --> 00:28:55,875
was Fort Point on
the LaHave River,
560
00:28:56,042 --> 00:28:59,708
located only 15 miles
south of Oak Island.
561
00:29:28,167 --> 00:29:30,207
To me, I think the
most compelling part so far
562
00:29:30,292 --> 00:29:33,000
is the connection
between these people
563
00:29:33,167 --> 00:29:34,875
who were in charge
of the Knights Templar
564
00:29:35,042 --> 00:29:38,833
and the de Villiers who
arrived in Nova Scotia.
565
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,360
I mean, you've got
people connected
566
00:29:40,542 --> 00:29:43,375
to both sides of the Atlantic.
567
00:29:43,542 --> 00:29:44,708
Yeah.
568
00:29:44,833 --> 00:29:46,208
The Oak Island story, to me,
569
00:29:46,375 --> 00:29:49,625
was always even more
than multigenerational,
570
00:29:49,750 --> 00:29:51,500
it was multi-depositional.
571
00:29:51,625 --> 00:29:53,750
And that's what you
have laid out today.
572
00:29:53,917 --> 00:29:55,500
I'm excited about
the possibilities
573
00:29:55,708 --> 00:29:57,292
of what Oak Island represents.
574
00:29:58,958 --> 00:30:01,083
Corjan provided us with
some connective tissue
575
00:30:01,208 --> 00:30:05,167
and a framework upon which
we can build, but right now,
576
00:30:05,292 --> 00:30:06,917
it's time to get
back to Oak Island
577
00:30:07,083 --> 00:30:08,667
and finish the
work for the year.
578
00:30:08,875 --> 00:30:12,000
My hope is that we can
work towards the ultimate goal
579
00:30:12,167 --> 00:30:14,875
of really saying with periods
at the end of the sentences,
580
00:30:15,042 --> 00:30:18,125
not question marks,
"this is what happened."
581
00:30:18,292 --> 00:30:22,458
And if it is this story,
quite remarkable.
582
00:30:24,500 --> 00:30:26,333
It's been a pleasure.
583
00:30:28,042 --> 00:30:30,083
As Rick and the rest of the team
584
00:30:30,292 --> 00:30:34,000
make the long journey back
to Oak Island from Malta...
585
00:30:34,208 --> 00:30:35,670
This is probably
the closest we're gonna get.
586
00:30:35,750 --> 00:30:37,292
Yep.
587
00:30:37,458 --> 00:30:39,628
Well, already, it looks like
this boulder's been placed.
588
00:30:39,708 --> 00:30:41,167
Yeah.
589
00:30:41,333 --> 00:30:43,833
Marty Lagina, Craig Tester,
590
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:48,917
and other members of
the team arrive on Lot 21.
591
00:30:49,083 --> 00:30:50,712
It looks like it's laying
right on top of the ground.
592
00:30:50,792 --> 00:30:53,042
Yeah.
593
00:30:53,208 --> 00:30:55,378
They are preparing
to investigate another boulder
594
00:30:55,458 --> 00:30:58,750
that was identified on
the believed treasure map
595
00:30:58,917 --> 00:31:01,500
based on the research
of Frederick Blair.
596
00:31:02,458 --> 00:31:04,667
So, this one
on the map is important,
597
00:31:04,875 --> 00:31:06,667
because it helped me
find all the other ones.
598
00:31:06,792 --> 00:31:09,167
It's almost like an anchor stone on a map,
599
00:31:09,375 --> 00:31:10,753
where everything was
calculated from this.
600
00:31:10,833 --> 00:31:12,958
I see. Okay.
601
00:31:13,167 --> 00:31:15,208
Well, let's have a look at it.
602
00:31:15,375 --> 00:31:17,503
- We can try to get some of those dead branches out of the way.
- Yeah. Yeah.
603
00:31:17,583 --> 00:31:20,542
We are at the
anchor stone from the map.
604
00:31:20,708 --> 00:31:22,125
It's important, I think.
605
00:31:22,292 --> 00:31:24,500
Any surveyor needs
a reference point.
606
00:31:24,667 --> 00:31:28,083
So, here's a big boulder,
embedded nicely in the ground,
607
00:31:28,250 --> 00:31:31,500
very difficult to move,
but incredibly intriguing.
608
00:31:31,625 --> 00:31:34,667
So, what happened here?
609
00:31:34,875 --> 00:31:36,833
We're sure gonna investigate it.
610
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Hey, Gary. Should you
sweep first before we do it?
611
00:31:40,125 --> 00:31:42,000
Yeah. I'll go over the top
612
00:31:42,083 --> 00:31:43,843
and I'll try and get
around as much as I can.
613
00:31:53,292 --> 00:31:55,833
Got a good hit, just here.
614
00:31:55,958 --> 00:31:58,042
And it's right there, Jack.
615
00:32:04,083 --> 00:32:05,667
Yep. We got it.
616
00:32:12,458 --> 00:32:14,167
Ooh.
617
00:32:15,125 --> 00:32:16,208
What is that?
618
00:32:20,917 --> 00:32:22,170
Well, what is that doing here?
619
00:32:22,250 --> 00:32:24,003
- A little ox shoe.
- Look at that.
620
00:32:24,083 --> 00:32:26,167
On Lot 21,
621
00:32:26,333 --> 00:32:28,667
while investigating a
boulder that was marked
622
00:32:28,875 --> 00:32:31,292
on a map connected
to 19th-century
623
00:32:31,458 --> 00:32:33,542
treasure hunter
Frederick Blair...
624
00:32:33,708 --> 00:32:36,167
Obviously, this isn't
farmland just around here.
625
00:32:36,375 --> 00:32:37,833
It's too rocky.
626
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,545
Members of the Oak Island team
627
00:32:39,625 --> 00:32:43,333
have just made a potentially
important discovery.
628
00:32:44,375 --> 00:32:47,792
Someone was using ox to
pull boulders into position.
629
00:32:47,917 --> 00:32:49,750
- That's one heck of a clue.
- Yeah.
630
00:32:49,958 --> 00:32:51,295
All right, well, let's
move this stone.
631
00:32:51,375 --> 00:32:52,792
Yep.
632
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,708
Could the team be correct
633
00:32:54,917 --> 00:32:58,042
that perhaps an oxen
was used long ago
634
00:32:58,208 --> 00:33:01,000
to position this boulder
as a marker for something?
635
00:33:01,125 --> 00:33:04,375
If so, what was it marking?
636
00:33:04,583 --> 00:33:06,667
And might the
team find the answer
637
00:33:06,833 --> 00:33:08,750
by digging beneath it?
638
00:33:10,042 --> 00:33:12,083
That's a hell of a lot of rocks.
639
00:33:12,250 --> 00:33:14,167
- Is that natural?
- I don't know.
640
00:33:14,375 --> 00:33:17,000
These angular rocks
look like some of the rocks
641
00:33:17,125 --> 00:33:18,885
that we found in the
paved area in the swamp.
642
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:20,292
Yep.
643
00:33:20,458 --> 00:33:22,000
Let's see.
644
00:33:22,167 --> 00:33:23,542
Come on, baby.
645
00:33:30,833 --> 00:33:32,625
No metals yet.
646
00:33:32,833 --> 00:33:36,000
I'd love to find a
piece of metal this deep.
647
00:33:36,208 --> 00:33:38,875
There's the C-horizon.
648
00:33:39,042 --> 00:33:41,542
- That's it, isn't it?
- Yep.
649
00:33:41,750 --> 00:33:45,333
Because the
team has dug into the C-horizon,
650
00:33:45,542 --> 00:33:49,042
or the natural layer of
earth below the topsoil,
651
00:33:49,208 --> 00:33:51,500
it means that they
have reached a depth
652
00:33:51,667 --> 00:33:54,083
where there is no more
evidence of human activity
653
00:33:54,250 --> 00:33:57,000
beneath the believed
man-made feature.
654
00:33:57,167 --> 00:33:59,500
I think this boulder was
just used for reference.
655
00:33:59,667 --> 00:34:01,667
I don't think it was
used to hide anything,
656
00:34:01,875 --> 00:34:03,375
- or anything like that.
- Yeah.
657
00:34:03,542 --> 00:34:06,458
- But it seems like it was placed here.
- Yeah.
658
00:34:06,625 --> 00:34:07,917
It was placed, for sure.
659
00:34:08,125 --> 00:34:11,083
There's got to be
something buried nearby.
660
00:34:11,208 --> 00:34:12,833
Yes.
661
00:34:13,042 --> 00:34:14,625
A few years ago, I
would have downplayed
662
00:34:14,833 --> 00:34:16,170
that the western part of
the island had anything to do
663
00:34:16,250 --> 00:34:18,250
with the treasure mystery,
664
00:34:18,375 --> 00:34:20,917
but I can't do that anymore,
because there's been evidence,
665
00:34:21,083 --> 00:34:23,083
good evidence, to the contrary.
666
00:34:23,208 --> 00:34:26,167
So, we have to do
a lot of investigation.
667
00:34:26,333 --> 00:34:30,583
If the boulders are indeed
markers, my ears perk up.
668
00:34:30,708 --> 00:34:34,125
Then we know that something
spectacularly important
669
00:34:34,333 --> 00:34:36,083
happened in this area.
670
00:34:37,833 --> 00:34:39,167
No.
671
00:34:40,750 --> 00:34:44,500
Unfortunately, no more
metals, just that one ox shoe.
672
00:34:44,667 --> 00:34:46,920
So, we can get that to the
lab and compare it to the rest?
673
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,167
- Yep.
- All right.
674
00:34:48,375 --> 00:34:51,208
- Time to move.
- It is.
675
00:34:54,125 --> 00:34:55,750
The following day...
676
00:34:57,292 --> 00:35:00,458
Okay. We have
basically the whole brain trust here
677
00:35:00,625 --> 00:35:03,500
because Rick and the
team, that went to Malta
678
00:35:03,708 --> 00:35:05,333
is back with information.
679
00:35:05,500 --> 00:35:07,295
Having
just returned to Oak Island,
680
00:35:07,375 --> 00:35:10,458
Rick Lagina is meeting
with his brother Marty
681
00:35:10,625 --> 00:35:13,458
and other members of
the team in the museum.
682
00:35:13,625 --> 00:35:15,128
So, I'd like to
know what you guys found,
683
00:35:15,208 --> 00:35:18,417
what you did and-and,
then of course
684
00:35:18,583 --> 00:35:21,083
we want to tell
you what we found.
685
00:35:21,250 --> 00:35:23,167
In general, what we
did was a lot of digging.
686
00:35:23,375 --> 00:35:27,917
Specifically, we went and
thoroughly researched the map.
687
00:35:28,042 --> 00:35:29,333
The Blair treasure map.
688
00:35:29,500 --> 00:35:30,917
Okay.
689
00:35:31,125 --> 00:35:32,525
We dug under the two boulders
690
00:35:32,625 --> 00:35:34,875
because it seemed to
be markers for something,
691
00:35:35,083 --> 00:35:36,458
but we didn't find any treasure.
692
00:35:36,625 --> 00:35:39,250
And I did go out and
take a look at the boulders.
693
00:35:39,375 --> 00:35:42,125
So, the anchor boulder
on Lot 21, it's been moved.
694
00:35:43,208 --> 00:35:46,417
The other boulder, it's
probably been moved.
695
00:35:46,625 --> 00:35:49,083
At least it's been... There's
been digging around it.
696
00:35:49,250 --> 00:35:50,833
So, it looks like
it's been adjusted.
697
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,500
But my take on the map is
that it's-it's very important.
698
00:35:55,708 --> 00:35:58,667
It's the one treasure
map that exists.
699
00:35:59,625 --> 00:36:02,167
The Blair Map certainly suggests
700
00:36:02,375 --> 00:36:04,125
that there's treasure,
but it's just a map.
701
00:36:04,333 --> 00:36:07,042
It's not treasure. It
is not proof of that.
702
00:36:07,250 --> 00:36:09,292
The proof is in the ground.
703
00:36:09,458 --> 00:36:12,000
And I think we are all
quite enthusiastic about it
704
00:36:12,208 --> 00:36:14,417
for one simple reason,
this is a treasure hunt
705
00:36:14,583 --> 00:36:16,667
and this is a treasure map.
706
00:36:16,875 --> 00:36:20,000
We'll do whatever it takes
to come to a conclusion.
707
00:36:20,167 --> 00:36:23,458
A very significant final one
708
00:36:23,667 --> 00:36:25,833
from our time while
you were away,
709
00:36:25,958 --> 00:36:28,333
is that button right there.
710
00:36:28,500 --> 00:36:30,333
That was found by
Laird and his team
711
00:36:30,542 --> 00:36:34,500
near the steps into
the Lot 5 feature.
712
00:36:34,667 --> 00:36:36,792
Right next to the
other starburst button.
713
00:36:36,958 --> 00:36:38,917
The scans that Emma made,
714
00:36:39,042 --> 00:36:41,333
it really is a very
beautiful thing.
715
00:36:41,500 --> 00:36:44,792
I looked at the
scan that Emma did
716
00:36:44,958 --> 00:36:47,333
and it reminds me of
something that we saw in Malta.
717
00:36:48,333 --> 00:36:50,292
Really?
718
00:36:54,708 --> 00:36:56,458
I looked at the
scan that Emma did
719
00:36:56,583 --> 00:36:58,462
and it reminds me of
something that we saw in Malta.
720
00:36:58,542 --> 00:37:00,000
Really?
721
00:37:00,167 --> 00:37:01,667
In the Oak Island Museum,
722
00:37:01,875 --> 00:37:05,167
Alex Lagina has just made
a surprising observation
723
00:37:05,292 --> 00:37:07,125
regarding the floral button
724
00:37:07,292 --> 00:37:10,708
that was found one
week ago on Lot 5.
725
00:37:10,875 --> 00:37:15,167
So, we visited a prison
at the Cittadella on Gozo
726
00:37:15,375 --> 00:37:19,208
and carved into the wall
there was this symbol.
727
00:37:19,375 --> 00:37:20,750
Steve, if you
could pull that up.
728
00:37:20,917 --> 00:37:22,292
Keep on going.
729
00:37:22,458 --> 00:37:24,208
That, right there.
730
00:37:24,375 --> 00:37:27,875
So, this is graffiti on
the walls of the prison.
731
00:37:28,042 --> 00:37:29,583
It was obviously
significant enough
732
00:37:29,708 --> 00:37:31,750
to be carved in
the wall of a prison
733
00:37:31,875 --> 00:37:33,250
that at one time
734
00:37:33,417 --> 00:37:36,000
held members of
the Knights of Malta.
735
00:37:37,250 --> 00:37:39,500
There are actually
similarities between
736
00:37:39,625 --> 00:37:42,125
- that carving and the button.
- Yep.
737
00:37:42,292 --> 00:37:44,333
- A
- carving found on the wall
738
00:37:44,500 --> 00:37:48,042
of a 16th-century
prison in Gozo, Malta?
739
00:37:48,208 --> 00:37:50,542
One similar in design
to the floral button
740
00:37:50,750 --> 00:37:54,208
that was found near the
stone foundation on Lot 5?
741
00:37:54,375 --> 00:37:56,708
Could this be further evidence
742
00:37:56,875 --> 00:37:59,000
that the Knights of
Malta made a secret visit
743
00:37:59,125 --> 00:38:02,667
to Oak Island nearly
400 years ago?
744
00:38:03,583 --> 00:38:05,500
And so, at this same prison,
745
00:38:05,708 --> 00:38:07,417
there's all kinds of
carvings on the wall.
746
00:38:07,583 --> 00:38:10,167
- That's a Maltese cross.
- Maltese cross, yeah.
747
00:38:10,333 --> 00:38:13,083
There's the four-dot
cross. Which it's on the H+O Stone.
748
00:38:13,250 --> 00:38:14,458
Yeah.
749
00:38:14,583 --> 00:38:16,458
So, I kind of approached it
750
00:38:16,583 --> 00:38:18,983
from the kind of "means, motive
and opportunity" perspective.
751
00:38:19,083 --> 00:38:22,417
Opportunity is kind of settled,
because we know they were here.
752
00:38:22,542 --> 00:38:25,333
Um, so, we wanted to investigate
the means and the motive.
753
00:38:25,500 --> 00:38:27,542
And we saw a means and motive
754
00:38:27,750 --> 00:38:30,000
when we went
underground in Valletta.
755
00:38:30,167 --> 00:38:32,833
We saw the means, because
they have these massive cisterns
756
00:38:33,042 --> 00:38:34,292
that they carved
757
00:38:34,458 --> 00:38:36,125
60 feet under the city,
758
00:38:36,292 --> 00:38:37,708
and a network of tunnels.
759
00:38:37,875 --> 00:38:41,667
So, what was
interesting for me was,
760
00:38:41,833 --> 00:38:43,083
in these tunnels,
761
00:38:43,250 --> 00:38:46,167
they used blue clay
to seal off water flow
762
00:38:46,292 --> 00:38:48,583
to protect its valuable items.
763
00:38:48,750 --> 00:38:49,750
Yeah.
764
00:38:49,875 --> 00:38:52,125
So, here, this
kind of reminded me
765
00:38:52,333 --> 00:38:54,708
of the old description
of the Money Pit.
766
00:38:54,875 --> 00:38:58,500
The hard rock, you can see
the pick marks in the sides.
767
00:38:58,625 --> 00:39:01,417
I mean, you are literally
walking through history here.
768
00:39:01,583 --> 00:39:03,583
- It's incredible.
- Yeah.
769
00:39:03,708 --> 00:39:06,833
Okay. When we talk
about the Knights Templar,
770
00:39:07,042 --> 00:39:10,167
we know they had this
sneak attack on them in 1307.
771
00:39:10,292 --> 00:39:12,000
Yeah.
772
00:39:12,167 --> 00:39:14,337
And there's a legend that
people left with a great treasure.
773
00:39:14,417 --> 00:39:15,833
Are there legends like that?
774
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,542
Corjan was able to trace
members of the Knights Templar
775
00:39:19,708 --> 00:39:22,417
leaving possibly with treasure.
776
00:39:22,625 --> 00:39:24,212
- That's what I'm looking for.
- Right.
777
00:39:24,292 --> 00:39:26,917
And it's connected to one
family, the de Villiers family.
778
00:39:27,083 --> 00:39:28,583
The family itself maintains
779
00:39:28,750 --> 00:39:30,790
positions of importance
within the Knights of Malta.
780
00:39:30,875 --> 00:39:34,583
Right. A member of the
family left with the treasure
781
00:39:34,708 --> 00:39:37,667
- just after the suppression of 1307.
- Right.
782
00:39:37,833 --> 00:39:42,500
So, perhaps this one family
was charged with the protection
783
00:39:42,667 --> 00:39:45,500
of certain relics,
certain treasure.
784
00:39:45,708 --> 00:39:47,500
Yeah. I
mean, the Knights of Malta
785
00:39:47,667 --> 00:39:50,500
that was here in the mid-1600s,
786
00:39:50,667 --> 00:39:53,917
landed in La Havre a
few miles from Oak Island,
787
00:39:54,042 --> 00:39:56,167
supposedly related
to the de Villiers family.
788
00:39:56,292 --> 00:39:58,500
They not only had
money, they had power
789
00:39:58,708 --> 00:40:01,167
- and they had knowledge.
- Yeah.
790
00:40:01,375 --> 00:40:03,833
So, you can conclude
that the Knights of Malta
791
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,583
clearly had the scientific
and the technical ability
792
00:40:07,750 --> 00:40:09,542
to construct massive
things underground.
793
00:40:09,708 --> 00:40:13,000
And we do know from
Judi and others' research
794
00:40:13,208 --> 00:40:16,083
that the-the Knights of
Malta were definitely here.
795
00:40:16,208 --> 00:40:17,583
Just 20 miles down the road.
796
00:40:17,708 --> 00:40:19,958
So, there's a connection.
797
00:40:20,167 --> 00:40:22,500
Well, look, all I can say is,
you know, a job well done.
798
00:40:22,583 --> 00:40:24,083
We learned a lot in Malta.
799
00:40:25,583 --> 00:40:27,183
But I think we need
to go back out there,
800
00:40:27,333 --> 00:40:31,167
because you want to exhaust
all the potential discoveries
801
00:40:31,333 --> 00:40:34,292
- that yet remain out there.
- Yes.
802
00:40:34,375 --> 00:40:36,095
- Time to dig, Marty.
- That's right.
803
00:40:36,208 --> 00:40:38,500
And I'll tell
you what this has done,
804
00:40:38,667 --> 00:40:40,627
this perhaps opens our
eyes to look more carefully
805
00:40:40,792 --> 00:40:42,337
at the things that are
going to be coming out
806
00:40:42,417 --> 00:40:43,958
of our last caisson
in the Money Pit.
807
00:40:44,125 --> 00:40:46,500
So, now with this background,
we can keep our eye peeled
808
00:40:46,708 --> 00:40:48,500
for things that
might be meaningful.
809
00:40:48,667 --> 00:40:50,208
- Let's go see.
- Yep.
810
00:40:50,417 --> 00:40:52,000
Back to work.
811
00:40:52,125 --> 00:40:54,500
For more than 200 years,
812
00:40:54,667 --> 00:40:57,042
people have uncovered
compelling evidence
813
00:40:57,250 --> 00:41:00,875
that Oak Island is hiding
an incredible secret.
814
00:41:01,083 --> 00:41:05,458
Could the new clues that
Rick, Marty and their team
815
00:41:05,625 --> 00:41:08,000
have found both on the island,
816
00:41:08,167 --> 00:41:10,958
and 4,000 miles away,
817
00:41:11,125 --> 00:41:14,750
suggest that secret
may be more profound
818
00:41:14,917 --> 00:41:17,375
than anyone ever imagined?
819
00:41:17,542 --> 00:41:19,833
Now, as the team prepares
820
00:41:20,042 --> 00:41:24,000
for their most ambitious dig
ever in the Money Pit area,
821
00:41:24,167 --> 00:41:28,167
perhaps the secret
will finally be revealed
822
00:41:28,333 --> 00:41:33,000
more than 200 feet underground.
823
00:41:35,500 --> 00:41:38,042
Next time, on The
Curse of Oak Island...
824
00:41:38,208 --> 00:41:39,625
Into the solution channel we go.
825
00:41:39,750 --> 00:41:41,212
- Into the void.
- Our best guess is that
826
00:41:41,292 --> 00:41:44,208
the treasure is 200 feet
under that spot right there.
827
00:41:44,375 --> 00:41:45,583
Ooh, look at that!
828
00:41:45,708 --> 00:41:47,348
The vault connects
the swamp, potentially,
829
00:41:47,500 --> 00:41:48,833
to the Knights of Malta.
830
00:41:49,042 --> 00:41:51,792
- What is that?
- That might be depositor.
831
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,958
The only time I see
primitive tools this size
832
00:41:54,083 --> 00:41:57,333
- was from the 1500s.
- Way before the Money Pit.
833
00:41:57,500 --> 00:41:59,087
- Here we go.
- We're into the solution channel.
834
00:41:59,167 --> 00:42:00,795
- We're just coming into it.
- Baby!
835
00:42:00,875 --> 00:42:02,670
- Check that out.
- Reveal your secrets.
836
