What did the stone actually say?

[Carl-NC]

The alleged stoned allegedly found at an alleged 90 feet deep allegedly translated to "Forty feet below two million pounds are buried."
In another thread @Pete E suggested the stone actually said "Beware of Flooding!"
This thread is where you can post your own translation. Here are a few possibilities:

"Forty feet below two million rocks are buried."
"This stone is the treasure, enjoy."
"Take a left at Albuquerque."
"It sure is dark down here."
"William Kidd wuz here."

Let's hear some more...

After careful research Carl I came to the same conclusion. But you get credit because you got there first. After all the research it does say "Take a left at Albuquerque." I bet you were just as surprised as me. Took me just 2hrs and 3 phone calls.

Forty feet below 2 million turds are buried,
might as well be.

The alleged stone, allegedly stoned, was allegedly found at allegedly ninety feet beneath the allegedly sacred ground. Inscribed upon its mossy face, were words of mystery, myth, and questionable taste. Some say it whispered, two million pounds are near, while others heard: I contain snacks and mild existential fear.
One scholar claimed, “It’s ancient Druid code!”
Another replied, “Nope, just pirate toad mode.”

Other definitely real translations include:

• "Beware of Flooding! Also, the raccoons know too much."
• "This is not a stone. You are reading a sandwich, turn back, you fool! The squirrels have unionized.”
• "Forty feet below: one sock, half a map, and Dave. (We miss Dave.)"
• "Insert coin to continue treasure hunt."
• "Cursed by Grandma's Mahjong Club, 1812."
• "This message sponsored by Ye Olde Mattress Emporium."
• "The true treasure is disappointment."

Archaeologists still debate the stone’s origin, with theories ranging from:

• A 17th-century Portuguese prank
• A sentient stalactite's diary
• Or possibly just an 18th-century sandwich wrapper hardened by time and regret

And as for the carving tool? Clearly, a drunk beaver wielding a cursed potato.
The moral? If you find a mysterious stone in a pit full of mud, water, and wild claims, It’s probably best to assume it once said: "You dug too deep. Go touch grass."

 

[TruthbeTold]

The stone was created as a last attempt by scammers to fleece more money out of investors. It was never found in the imaginary money pit.

After it failed to produce more investments, the scammers discarded it. It was later used as an anvil in a leather working shop and after it was disgarded again, it was used as a common stone in a basement foundation.

The key to the greatest treasure in history is thrown away and used to build a basement. Doesn’t give the stone much credibility.

We know all that. This thread is for presenting alternate translations. Like this:

"This is not the correct hole, please try again."

It says "This stone intentionally left blank"

 

[Carl-NC]

OK, it really says "Toin left at Albukoikee." I didn't know that gag was used in so many different shorts.

That's what my hard hitting research found out also.

" GET USED TO DISAPPOINTMENT "

Well after all my in depth research from around the world it has lead to disappointment...!

Maybe it's an ancient bumper sticker.

" I was left unsupervised"
" My other rock is a diamond"
" If you can read this - you're in too deep"

" Are we there yet?"

So I am in Nova Scotia, about 1/2 hour from Oak Island.
That stone was supposedly found about 1815 but did not appear until the 1860's.
Guess who had the stone at that time .... people who were looking for 'investors' (i.e. chumps) to fund their ongoing digs at Oak Island at that time.
This 'important' relic was then ditched in a basement and forgotten about once it's usefulness had passed and the chumps had been cleaned out.
And who would ever bother to write something in code and then bury it 90-feet down, pointless.

I have found far more on the mainland than the new chumps will ever find on that island. If anything is ever found it will be with a metal detector, not an excavator. They just need an 'expert' with a metal detector who knows the difference between an ox shoe and a horse shoe.

I believe there was some treasure on that island and it is all gone now. It was from an additional ship that left the sack of Havana in 1762 and sailed to Halifax in a treasure laden fleet. One undocumented ship, moored at Oak Island where there was an old pine tar kiln, and the crew each buried their allocated loot in different areas of the island with a plan to separately come back in x number of years less they all be hanged. And they hanged a lot of sailors in Halifax in the 18th and 19th centuries. Hangman's beach in Halifax Harbour juts straight out from McNab's Island where there was a line of gallows. Mutineers and pirates were tarred and left to swing there until the bodies separated from the heads, as a warning to all ships what happens in Halifax.

The boys who first found the pit heard people digging there at night by lamp light. That is why they investigated.
There are numerous squared off shallow pits on the island, all empty.
A black ex US slave became one of the wealthiest people in early 19th century Nova Scotia and paid for everything in Spanish silver, that is not a common occurrence in our history here.
The boys found treasure less than10 feet down, the family said at the end of season 1, I believe. They kept digging, less people and the government think they found something, which they would have seized. The Acadians, who were well off and successful, buried their treasures all over this province when they were expelled in 1755, on the assumption they would be returning. 19th century Nova Scotians had a long history of finding those treasures and keeping their mouths shut when they did.

If you want to look up real Nova Scotia treasure buried on islands, look up Isle Haute in the Bay of Funday. There they found buried treasure with gold coins in the skeletal hand of a sailor who was sacrificed to 'guard the gold'.

"Forty feet below two million rocks are buried."
This is ambiguous, Im pretty sure theres a lot more than 2 million rocks when I stand on the surface.
So, it breaks down to 40ft below 2 feet,doesnt matter if you're barefoot or not.
You could probably be wearing high heels and it wouldnt make a difference., unless you're in walmart, then it could just look weird.
ie at the surface, not too hard to figure that one.

"This stone is the treasure, enjoy."
We know from this that it isnt dirt but a stone in the dirt.


"Toin left at Albuquerque."
Toin means either you're an Italian named Tony, or you're an Italian wise man, with more emphasis on the wise man part.
Toin can also mean on your belly.

So I come to the conclusion that you need to acquire a gyro-theodolite, set it at the surface to point at Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Then descend 40ft with your belly flat on the floor of the hole and turn left.

"It sure is dark down here."
Yep, 40ft down in a dry it kinda would be, probably pitch black if filled with water.

"William Kidd wuz here."
Seems he was a pirate, dunno what the wuz is about.
Perhaps it could also be Bill's son.

So first thought that springs to mind, is that we're looking for the stone of the wise man.
Which according to Harry Potter is the Philosophers Stone., and the legendary figure associated with the stone is none other than Nicolas Flamel.

Ladies and gents, beware of rabbit holes, you have just witnessed what 10yrs of conspiracies can do to you.
