00:02:54,500 Rick and members of the team 61 00:02:54,667 --> 00:02:57,375 have come to research the theory that the Templars 62 00:02:57,542 --> 00:03:00,000 and their descendant organizations 63 00:03:00,167 --> 00:03:02,875 may have stored sacred treasures in the Azores 64 00:03:03,042 --> 00:03:04,542 before taking them to Oak Island 65 00:03:04,708 --> 00:03:08,125 between the 13th and 17th centuries. 66 00:03:08,292 --> 00:03:11,208 It is also their hope to find clues 67 00:03:11,375 --> 00:03:14,750 related to the 14th century silver Portuguese coin 68 00:03:14,875 -->

74 00:03:35,333 --> 00:03:37,000 [Corjan] A few years ago, we were underground 75 00:03:37,208 --> 00:03:38,833 in Camerano, Italy, 76 00:03:39,042 --> 00:03:41,250 looking at a altar, uh, 77 00:03:41,417 --> 00:03:43,958 which had this image here. 78 00:03:45,333 --> 00:03:46,958 The goose paw. 79 00:03:47,125 --> 00:03:50,667 I think you'll agree that it's, at least, very similar. 80 00:03:50,875 --> 00:03:52,333 [Alex] Yeah. 81 00:03:53,292 --> 00:03:55,167 [Narrator] The goose paw is a symbol 82 00:03:55,375 --> 00:03:57,375 that was created by the Knights Templar, 83 00:03:57,542 --> 00:04:00,500 which they carved at locations of sacred importance 84 00:04:00,583 --> 00:04:02,333 throughout the Middle East and Europe 85 00:04:02,542 --> 00:04:05,500 between the 12th and 14th centuries. 86 00:04:05,667 --> 00:04:09,583 The team saw a similar carving just one week ago 87 00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:11,375 at a nearby church 88 00:04:11,500 --> 00:04:14,958 known as the Igreja de São Sebastião. 89 00:04:15,125 --> 00:04:16,458 And in recent years, 90 00:04:16,583 --> 00:04:18,417 they have also seen goose paws 91 00:04:18,583 --> 00:04:21,667 carved at former Templar sites in Italy... 92 00:04:22,708 --> 00:04:24,417 ...as well as in Liverpool, Nova Scotia, 93 00:04:24,625 --> 00:04:28,333 less than 50 miles from Oak Island. 94 00:04:28,542 --> 00:04:30,542 Any treasure that was on this island 95 00:04:30,708 --> 00:04:33,000 would have been in the realm of this church. 96 00:04:33,208 --> 00:04:35,708 [Narrator] Could Corjan be correct 97 00:04:35,875 --> 00:04:38,500 that this goose paw carving is a clue 98 00:04:38,667 --> 00:04:40,417 that Templar-related treasures 99 00:04:40,583 --> 00:04:43,167 were once safeguarded in the Azores? 100 00:04:43,333 --> 00:04:46,292 If so, might that also suggest 101 00:04:46,458 --> 00:04:48,458 that the goose paw found near Oak Island 102 00:04:48,583 --> 00:04:51,083 is evidence that those treasures 103 00:04:51,250 --> 00:04:54,333 were taken to that area at a later time? 104 00:04:54,500 --> 00:04:56,583 [Rick] The goose paw. 105 00:04:56,750 --> 00:04:59,667 It was an

One thing I'm noticing, 112 00:05:11,875 --> 00:05:13,792 just looking at this, is we have the goose paw, 113 00:05:13,917 --> 00:05:16,833 but then we also have an elongated cross, 114 00:05:17,000
