I thought the beams should be outside the box.

Hi Armchair detective:
Thank you...I corrected this.
What do believe with my assumptions?

 

[Limitool]

Who Can Think...Outside Of The "Box"?

When one is programed to only see what one wants to see.." This refers to the process of perceiving information in a way that is influenced by one's expectations, motivations, or needs. Essentially, we "see" what we expect to see, or what we want to see."

I am amazed by how quickly the Laginas come to the conclution as to what they have found and where this item may have originated from, along with their ideas of what the "Swamp" was used for...not taking into considerations as to how previous Civilizations may have designed their use for this Swamp?
Keep water in?...Or...Keep water out?

Example!
Think outside the "Box"!
Can you draw a Rectangular Treasure Vault with 3 beams?

Answer ...Spoiler Alert..."Next Post!"

That's why I watch the show to see what they'll say next or do. Many or most of their conclusions I believe are scripted and filmed as such. I too notice that most items found somehow is related to something of value buried.

And all the speculation on the rock roads are much about nothing I believe. Nobody needs a rock road to bury something of value. Just unload from a ship, dig a hole, pack up, place in hole and cover up. Why all the work on a rock road to bury something...?

 

[GravelTeeth]

they continue to mention the fictional “solution channel”

Hmmm. Except that many/most of your fellow skeptics have opined that there never were man-made flood tunnels routing seawater from the coast, and instead were simply natural voids and fissures in the bedrock that were connected to the sea, i.e. the very solution channel that Rick Lagina has described. So calling it fictional would put you at odds with that consensus.

BTW, one of the non-partisan science assessments contracted by Triton concluded that the "cavern" below Borehole 10-X was likely in the size and shape it was when surveyed because of Dan Blankenship's application of dynamite as an excavation technique. Dynamite has been used in several places on the island by the different syndicates, including in the Money Pit proper and in attempts to stopper flood tunnels from Smith's Cove. So if there wasn't a solution channel to start with (in the dawn of the search era), there very likely is one now.

Agreed. The roads and pathways would be more about semi-permanent facilities on the island that pre-date the known farmsteads. That could point to long-term army encampments by the British or French, or some non-state actor with lots of resources. The connection to the Money Pit could be incidental or not related at all. If there were some group that had long-term presence on the island and had a non-treasure reason to build a deep shaft, then either they or a follow-on bunch with no connection may have simply re-used it for other purposes later. Or the most boring explanation of all: "if we don't take care of this open shaft someone's going to fall in and die, let's fill it in."

Curse of Oak Island Season 12, Episode 21 Recap

More nonsensical kookie theories such as a knights of malta/ templar connection to the island.

More finding of (GASP) common remnants of human habitation. The continued mentioning of the laginas fictional creation of yet another treasure vault.

The plausible way out of their scam (solution channel) is mentioned several times.

The fake roman sword was the start of their being exposed. Whether they buy and remove websites with factual information debunking the treasure claims or keep inventing new fiction, their scam is fully exposed.

What part of his post is wrong...? I just played back last night's episode and saw everything he mentioned about it.

Curse of Oak Island Season 12, Episode 22 Recap

More repetition of previous episodes, yet another meaningless trip to Europe to look for fictional tales of connections to oak island, more absolutely absurd statements from the "experts".

I truly don't get what any trip to Europe has to do with something of value buried on O.I. Name one thing that any trip to Europe has done to point where something of value is/was even buried. And I agree the "experts" they use are ALL IN with keeping this money train going.

It's just a history lesson/tie in. They are just trying to see if and or prove that some of these different groups might have been to OI. Sure that doesn't mean they buried a treasure of course.. Just that they were capable and had the opportunity to do so..

 

[Carl-NC]

I remember the early days of cable when the History Channel first appeared. It was one of my favorites, full of interesting documentaries. Now it's full of pseudohistory and pseudoscience. In America, that's what sells ads. It's also why I cut the cable.

The possibilities of "what could have happened" on OI are endless, as we already see from the way theories are born and grow with each day nothing is found. They all have deniable plausibility, i.e., not even wrong.

 

[n2mini]

Just as some on here claim the Knights Templers never came to OI yet there are clues such as symbols carved into stone on OI and the area that match up with them.. Just as this weeks show does with the Malta's. Nothing concrete of course but not out of the realm. That is all they are trying to show is that they might be connected. Gives the researchers better ideas and connections to research.

Anyone could have carved the symbols. There are many common symbols reflecting meanings of many different things, sometimes no more important than kilroy was here.

No one has ever produced historical factual documentation or evidence that the templars crossed the Atlantic.

History shows a large number were killed and their organization disbanded. After that nothing.

 

[n2mini]

If you were fleeing your home, country, etc and your life depends on it, along with you have your peoples artifacts your trying to keep and hide from capture, would you take the time to tell everybody where you were going?
Could it be that some didn't really disband but rather left and came to the OI area and didn't call themselves Templers..

And if they did your point is what...? What would it have to do with something buried 100+ft. deep. What could they possibly be scared of 1000's of miles away to bury anything. What's the point..?

 

[n2mini]

The show has shown how the Templers and others are known for their digging and tunneling abilities, along with their craftmanship. Plus as other theories go about it maybe the deep hole was just part of it and there was an offset spot to actually find the treasure from within the hole. The deep hole from there on is a trap, or disguise to keep you digging down.. Maybe the original hole to bury the treasure wasn't really that deep, and everybody behind those who retrieved it just keep digging down..

A lot of "maybe's" for sure.

Maybe the space/time warp tunnel that one member here suggested is on oak island is there too?

Again, no historical factual information that templars came to the new world has ever been presented.
