Just for kicks let's run with this, that it's flooding was intentional. And just exactly where is the provenance in regards to, "it was done to hide treasure?" Where did this "speculation" come from? Documents detailing as much? No. So where, then? What is the source of this speculation? Answer, "the wild imaginations of men."
Other in the field dispute this, or at the very least question if that conclusion is, in fact, conclusive? But this is just one example of the other perfectly reasonable explanations surrounding Oak Island that those promoting the chase of treasure never talk about. Per example, there exist one pretty detailed account of a copper mining operation that draws upon this very region, yet, you'll never hear these folks elaborating on that very-very possible, and very-very real, piece of documented history. All you ever hear about is how Oak Island "just has to be hiding something secret" like treasure even though there exist not one shred of provenance to that claim, even today after all of the promotion and fuss. Why do you think that is?
