Narrator: Tonight on
the curse of oak island...

00:00:03,087 --> 00:00:05,212
It's the last caisson
for the year.
3
00:00:05,423 --> 00:00:06,380
If we're gonna take
a shot at this,
4
00:00:06,590 --> 00:00:07,597
We're gonna take
our best shot.
5
00:00:07,675 --> 00:00:08,732
Corjan:
This is the holy
6
00:00:08,843 --> 00:00:09,991
Of holiest of the templars.
7
00:00:10,094 --> 00:00:11,668
-Wow!
-Oh!
8
00:00:11,929 --> 00:00:12,753
Corjan: I think we're gonna
find some real answers here.
9
00:00:12,930 --> 00:00:14,722
That is incredible.
10
00:00:15,016 --> 00:00:17,057
-We're looking
for the extension to the road.
-Yes.
11
00:00:17,268 --> 00:00:18,358
Laird:
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Look at this.
12
00:00:18,436 --> 00:00:19,827
There's a lot of cobble there.
13
00:00:19,979 --> 00:00:21,428
Yeah, I'm wondering
if that's it already.
14
00:00:21,647 --> 00:00:23,688
-Alex: Wow.
-Corjan: It is spectacular.
15
00:00:23,733 --> 00:00:25,523
It's stunningly beautiful.
16
00:00:25,609 --> 00:00:27,192
João fiandeiro:
There's nine platforms.
17
00:00:27,278 --> 00:00:28,569
That's exactly
the money pit story.
18
00:00:29,905 --> 00:00:33,273
Narrator:
There is an island
in the north atlantic
19
00:00:33,451 --> 00:00:35,300
Where people
have been looking for
20
00:00:35,453 --> 00:00:40,146
An incredible treasure
for more than 200 years.
21
00:00:40,332 --> 00:00:43,142
So far, they have found
a stone slab
22
00:00:43,294 --> 00:00:46,286
With strange symbols
carved into it,
23
00:00:46,505 --> 00:00:49,890
Man-made workings
that date to medieval times,
24
00:00:50,009 --> 00:00:54,528
And a lead cross
whose origin may be connected
25
00:00:54,597 --> 00:00:56,004
To the knights templar.
26
00:00:56,006 --> 00:00:58,715
To date, six men have died
27
00:00:58,917 --> 00:01:00,967
Trying to solve the mystery.
28
00:01:01,228 --> 00:01:06,773
And according to legend,
one more will have to die
29
00:01:06,859 --> 00:01:08,901
Before the treasure
can be found.

Narrator:
As another brisk fall morning
38
00:01:34,220 --> 00:01:37,754
Gets underway on oak island,
the anticipation
39
00:01:38,015 --> 00:01:39,831
For a potentially historic
breakthrough discovery
40
00:01:40,017 --> 00:01:42,876
In the money pit area
has never been higher
41
00:01:43,062 --> 00:01:45,086
For brothers
rick and marty lagina
42
00:01:45,231 --> 00:01:47,088
And the members of their team.
43
00:01:47,316 --> 00:01:49,090
-Top of the morning, gentlemen.
-Hi, sam. How you doing?
44
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:54,521
Oh, very best. So, our current
depth of hole is around 57 feet.
45
00:01:54,740 --> 00:01:58,041
Super. We're starting
to get into full mouthfuls
46
00:01:58,077 --> 00:01:59,660
Of the maroon till.
47
00:01:59,870 --> 00:02:01,444
-Yes, sir.
-We need to go
48
00:02:01,705 --> 00:02:03,396
-From that to gold.
-That's right.
-That's right.
49
00:02:03,541 --> 00:02:05,365
First, through the wood maybe
50
00:02:05,584 --> 00:02:06,667
And then into a chamber,
let's hope.
51
00:02:06,877 --> 00:02:08,776
It appears, to our research,
52
00:02:08,963 --> 00:02:10,838
-That there is some tunnel here.
-Yeah.
53
00:02:11,132 --> 00:02:13,857
Narrator:
At a location just
five feet north
54
00:02:14,051 --> 00:02:18,178
Of borehole c-1, the team is
excavating their fifth
55
00:02:18,472 --> 00:02:22,850
And final ten-foot-diameter
steel-cased shaft for this year.
56
00:02:23,144 --> 00:02:28,689
Dubbed "b4-c," rick, marty
and their partner craig tester
57
00:02:28,899 --> 00:02:30,724
Are especially hopeful
for this dig
58
00:02:30,901 --> 00:02:32,300
Due to the incredible clues
59
00:02:32,444 --> 00:02:33,985
That they've already recovered
60
00:02:34,071 --> 00:02:36,546
In this area
over the past several months.
61
00:02:36,740 --> 00:02:40,700
These finds include evidence
of mysterious wooden tunnels
62
00:02:40,744 --> 00:02:42,427
At a depth of some 90 feet,
63
00:02:42,621 --> 00:02:46,689
Which have been carbon-dated
to as early as the 15th century.
64
00:02:46,876 --> 00:02:49,659
But even more compelling
were the results
65
00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:51,736
Of water testing
in existing boreholes
66
00:02:51,922 --> 00:02:54,180
And core drilling
across the area
67
00:02:54,258 --> 00:02:56,383
That was conducted this year.
68
00:02:56,635 --> 00:02:59,761
Both operations yielded
high-trace evidence
69
00:03:00,014 --> 00:03:02,255
That vast quantities
of silver and gold
70
00:03:02,433 --> 00:03:05,409
Lie buried somewhere deep below.
71
00:03:06,437 --> 00:03:08,595
Rick:
Our expectations
are exceedingly high
72
00:03:08,772 --> 00:03:10,355
For the final can.
73
00:03:10,441 --> 00:03:12,949
The data strongly suggests
there's a tunnel,
74
00:03:13,110 --> 00:03:15,510
And the tunnel perhaps
means treasure,
75
00:03:15,613 --> 00:03:17,779
Or proximity to treasure.
76
00:03:18,115 --> 00:03:21,008
The other thing, of course,
is that at 150-foot level,
77
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:27,205
Where in 1897 the vault
supposedly was drilled into.
78
00:03:27,291 --> 00:03:29,099
There was a number
of intersections
79
00:03:29,293 --> 00:03:30,967
That were confirmed by two
or three drill holes.
80
00:03:31,128 --> 00:03:35,305
90 feet was the top
of the first suspected tunnel.
81
00:03:35,466 --> 00:03:37,140
So, we're getting close.
We're sneaking up on it.
82
00:03:37,301 --> 00:03:39,217
-Yup.
-And hopefully,
we'll open up into a chamber.
83
00:03:39,303 --> 00:03:41,403
All right, fellas.
We'll be... We'll be in touch.
84
00:03:41,555 --> 00:03:43,046
-All right then.
-Thanks.
-Keep on rocking.
85
00:03:43,182 --> 00:03:44,598
-Take care.
-(sam laughs)
86
00:03:44,808 --> 00:03:46,800
Narrator:
Although it could take
87
00:03:46,977 --> 00:03:48,435
As much as one more week
88
00:03:48,646 --> 00:03:51,413
For the b4-c shaft
to reach its target depth
89
00:03:51,482 --> 00:03:53,607
Below 150 feet,

00:03:53,776 --> 00:03:55,609
Geologist terry matheson
91
00:03:55,903 --> 00:03:58,828
And members of the team will
continue searching the spoils
92
00:03:58,989 --> 00:04:01,739
For valuable clues
that could help solve
93
00:04:01,825 --> 00:04:05,285
The 227-year-old
oak island mystery.
94
00:04:05,496 --> 00:04:06,803
So, we're in very dense,
95
00:04:06,956 --> 00:04:08,154
Tight material
that hasn't been disturbed.
96
00:04:08,332 --> 00:04:10,924
So, that's great, and it just
97
00:04:11,001 --> 00:04:12,917
Bodes well for tunnels,
or an off...
98
00:04:13,003 --> 00:04:15,145
Cross your fingers--
an offset chamber and some
99
00:04:15,214 --> 00:04:16,646
Silver and gold perhaps.
100
00:04:16,715 --> 00:04:18,548
Here's to hoping.
101
00:04:19,635 --> 00:04:20,801
Narrator:
While the excavation continues
102
00:04:20,970 --> 00:04:22,819
In the money pit area,
103
00:04:22,888 --> 00:04:25,847
Later that morning...
104
00:04:26,850 --> 00:04:28,916
-Marty: Hey, rick! Doug!
-Scott: Hey, guys.
105
00:04:29,061 --> 00:04:30,927
-Hello, chaps.
-Hey, everybody.

gathers members of the team
107
00:04:33,607 --> 00:04:36,016
In the war room
for a video conference
108
00:04:36,193 --> 00:04:37,450
With his brother rick
109
00:04:37,569 --> 00:04:39,403
And oak island historian
doug crowell,
110
00:04:39,655 --> 00:04:42,981
Who are currently
in tomar, portugal.
111
00:04:43,075 --> 00:04:46,100
I got these guys all teed up
for a fantastic report.
112
00:04:46,203 --> 00:04:48,028
So, have you got one?
113
00:04:48,205 --> 00:04:49,513
I think an unqualified "yes."
114
00:04:49,540 --> 00:04:51,272
Proceed!
115
00:04:51,458 --> 00:04:54,534
It's been
a very interesting trip.
116
00:04:54,712 --> 00:04:56,628
From the moment we arrived,
117
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,555
There was something
to be learned.
118
00:04:58,716 --> 00:05:01,240
Finally, we're chasing
real historical information
119
00:05:01,385 --> 00:05:03,427
As it relates to oak island.
120
00:05:03,721 --> 00:05:08,365
And you cannot separate portugal
from templar, in my opinion.
121
00:05:08,392 --> 00:05:11,142
Please, inform us.
122
00:05:11,228 --> 00:05:13,478
-Let's go to church!
-Let's go to church.
123
00:05:13,564 --> 00:05:16,231

rick and doug,
124
00:05:16,525 --> 00:05:20,027
Along with marty's son alex
and his and rick's nephew peter,
125
00:05:20,237 --> 00:05:21,728
Have been investigating
the area
126
00:05:21,905 --> 00:05:23,697
Around tomar for clues
127
00:05:23,907 --> 00:05:26,082
That might support
an incredible theory.
128
00:05:26,243 --> 00:05:28,468
One connecting members
of the 12th century
129
00:05:28,579 --> 00:05:30,645
Medieval military order
of monks
130
00:05:30,789 --> 00:05:32,405
Known as the "knights templar"
131
00:05:32,624 --> 00:05:34,791
And their 14th-century
descendants
132
00:05:35,002 --> 00:05:37,151
Known as
the "knights of christ,"
133
00:05:37,254 --> 00:05:38,836
To the oak island mystery.
134
00:05:38,881 --> 00:05:40,897
Okay, let's see
what we can find.
135
00:05:41,091 --> 00:05:42,657
Narrator:
So far, working
with researcher corjan mol...
136
00:05:42,801 --> 00:05:45,268
Every one of them has a symbol.
137
00:05:45,429 --> 00:05:47,737
Narrator:
...They have not only
seen templar carvings
138
00:05:47,890 --> 00:05:50,181
At the historic church
of fontarcada...
139
00:05:50,267 --> 00:05:52,141
You might be interested
in this one over here.
140
00:05:52,269 --> 00:05:55,144
Narrator:
...Matching symbols
reportedly found
141
00:05:55,146 --> 00:05:56,897
On the legendary
90 foot stone...
142
00:05:57,149 --> 00:05:59,857
There's a circle and the dot
in the center of the cross.
143
00:05:59,943 --> 00:06:02,569
Narrator:
...As well as the h+o stone.
144
00:06:02,780 --> 00:06:04,571
Corjan:
The circle and the dot
145
00:06:04,782 --> 00:06:06,756
Is an early alchemical
symbol for gold.
146
00:06:06,867 --> 00:06:09,034
Narrator:
But also,
147
00:06:09,328 --> 00:06:12,245
In alqueidão da serra,
an ancient stone road
148
00:06:12,373 --> 00:06:15,281
And pathway that appeared
eerily similar in design
149
00:06:15,501 --> 00:06:17,650
To those that the team
has recently discovered
150
00:06:17,795 --> 00:06:19,795
In the triangle-shaped swamp.
151
00:06:20,047 --> 00:06:22,238
Rick:
Isn't that spectacular?
152
00:06:22,341 --> 00:06:23,631
Yeah, it's cool.
153
00:06:23,675 --> 00:06:25,716
Rick:
That is 2,000 years old.
154
00:06:25,803 --> 00:06:27,969
Doug:
Unlike other areas
or other countries,
155
00:06:28,138 --> 00:06:29,704
Here in portugal,
156
00:06:29,890 --> 00:06:32,048
They seemed
to have embraced that design,
157
00:06:32,267 --> 00:06:35,226
And they've carried that forward
through the centuries.
158
00:06:35,312 --> 00:06:38,646
They have kept
building roads in this manner.
159
00:06:38,774 --> 00:06:41,808
One of the things that jorge,
the archaeologist,
160
00:06:41,944 --> 00:06:43,826
Told us was that
161
00:06:43,987 --> 00:06:49,240
This construction type would be
suitable for hills and swamps.
162
00:06:49,326 --> 00:06:52,243
We walked all the way up
the mountainside, and
163
00:06:52,329 --> 00:06:55,705
They looked exactly like
the stone path we have.
164
00:06:55,874 --> 00:06:57,490
-No kidding.
-Charles: Wow.
165
00:06:57,668 --> 00:06:59,342
Yeah, that's fantastic.
166
00:06:59,461 --> 00:07:01,085
Okay, well,
that's all good information.
167
00:07:01,171 --> 00:07:02,737
Real interesting stuff,
guys, and it looks like
168
00:07:02,923 --> 00:07:04,405
You're having
an interesting time.
169
00:07:04,591 --> 00:07:06,816
Hurry back because
there's a lot of work
170
00:07:07,010 --> 00:07:09,352
Gonna be commencing up in
the money pit, as you're aware.
171
00:07:09,513 --> 00:07:12,806
And, um, we look forward to
getting you back on the island.
172
00:07:12,975 --> 00:07:14,507
We will do that.
173
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,342
All right, guys. Thank you.
See you later then.
174
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:17,543
We're going to get back to work.
175
00:07:17,545 --> 00:07:18,961
Yeah.
176
00:07:19,022 --> 00:07:22,106
Narrator:
Later that afternoon...
177
00:07:22,192 --> 00:07:24,926
-Marty: Hey, gents!
-Billy: Hey, marty.
178
00:07:25,070 --> 00:07:26,844
Narrator:
...Marty lagina
179
00:07:27,030 --> 00:07:29,455
Joins gary drayton,
surveyor steve guptill,
180
00:07:29,575 --> 00:07:31,708
And billy gerhardt
on lot 15,
181
00:07:31,827 --> 00:07:35,453
Located just east
of the swamp.
182
00:07:35,539 --> 00:07:38,014
If there's a road,
that's what we're after today.
183
00:07:38,083 --> 00:07:40,308
-And clues.
-Yeah.
184
00:07:40,461 --> 00:07:42,109
I've been wanting
to dig this ever since
185
00:07:42,296 --> 00:07:44,287
We were out here
delineating this thing.
186
00:07:44,590 --> 00:07:47,524
Narrator:
In light of rick and doug's
report from portugal,
187
00:07:47,593 --> 00:07:48,650
Marty has just obtained
188
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,968
Permission from the authorities
189
00:07:51,054 --> 00:07:53,213
To continue investigating
a mysterious feature
190
00:07:53,390 --> 00:07:55,182
Discovered earlier this year.
191
00:07:55,392 --> 00:07:57,184
First scan, coming up.
192
00:07:57,478 --> 00:07:59,652
Narrator: While conducting
a ground-penetrating radar scan
193
00:07:59,730 --> 00:08:01,904
Just east of the stone road
194
00:08:02,065 --> 00:08:04,357
In the southeast corner
of the swamp...
195
00:08:04,568 --> 00:08:06,050
I think the stone road
196
00:08:06,236 --> 00:08:08,845
-Might be under us right here.
-Oh, that's interesting.
197
00:08:08,906 --> 00:08:11,414
...Alex lagina
and his cousin david fornetti
198
00:08:11,575 --> 00:08:14,067
Were stunned
to obtain possible evidence
199
00:08:14,286 --> 00:08:16,753
That buried portions
of the feature
200
00:08:16,914 --> 00:08:19,922
May continue somewhere
into the uplands.
201
00:08:20,083 --> 00:08:23,292
-I have survey plans
for everybody.
-Yay!
202
00:08:23,420 --> 00:08:25,002
Narrator:
Now, it is marty's hope
203
00:08:25,088 --> 00:08:26,496
That he and members
of the team
204
00:08:26,757 --> 00:08:29,733
Can not only prove
that the stone feature
205
00:08:29,843 --> 00:08:31,284
Does continue out
of the swamp,
206
00:08:31,512 --> 00:08:35,371
But also determine
just where it might lead.
207
00:08:35,599 --> 00:08:36,831
If we're going
to take a shot at this,
208
00:08:37,017 --> 00:08:37,999
We're going
to take our best shot.
209
00:08:38,101 --> 00:08:39,743
-Gary: Yeah.
-All right.
210
00:08:39,895 --> 00:08:41,352
-Positions, everyone.
-All right.
-All right.
211
00:08:41,438 --> 00:08:44,222
Marty:
This is about the right width
212
00:08:44,274 --> 00:08:47,709
And the right depth
to be the road,
213
00:08:47,861 --> 00:08:49,902
And it's showing
a consistent anomaly
214
00:08:49,947 --> 00:08:51,070
Where we think the road is.
215
00:08:51,114 --> 00:08:53,773
These things all add up. So,
216
00:08:53,992 --> 00:08:56,276
It's risk-reward ratio:
It costs almost nothing,
217
00:08:56,453 --> 00:08:58,370
And it could be a huge reward.
218
00:09:02,292 --> 00:09:04,960
(scraping)
219
00:09:13,345 --> 00:09:15,053
Steve g.:
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Look at this.
220
00:09:16,431 --> 00:09:18,682
That could be the road.
221
00:09:22,646 --> 00:09:25,288
-You may want to take a look.
-Marty: Really?
222
00:09:25,399 --> 00:09:27,265
Narrator:
On lot 15,
223
00:09:27,317 --> 00:09:29,459
Marty lagina
and members of the team
224
00:09:29,611 --> 00:09:31,811
May have just found
promising evidence
225
00:09:32,030 --> 00:09:34,405
That the mysterious
stone pathway
226
00:09:34,491 --> 00:09:36,907
Believed to be
of possible portuguese origin
227
00:09:36,994 --> 00:09:39,327
Does, in fact, continue
into the uplands.
228
00:09:40,330 --> 00:09:42,580
Steve g.:
There is a lot of cobble there.
229
00:09:42,708 --> 00:09:45,524
-Oh, yeah. It kind of looks
like down there.
-It does.
230
00:09:45,752 --> 00:09:48,828
-Yes, it does. Yeah.
-Marty: Yeah. All right, well,
231
00:09:49,089 --> 00:09:50,463
-I'm gonna go dig over there.
-Billy: Yeah.
232
00:09:50,507 --> 00:09:51,964
-That's a good start.
-Okay.
233
00:09:52,050 --> 00:09:53,942
Marty:
This new area looks a lot like
234
00:09:54,094 --> 00:09:55,034
It's the beginning
of yet another road
235
00:09:55,178 --> 00:09:57,520
Going off to the east.
236
00:09:57,639 --> 00:09:59,847
The obvious thing
to do is follow the road,
237
00:09:59,891 --> 00:10:02,684
See where it leads us,
keep digging.
238
00:10:04,938 --> 00:10:07,271
Gary: This is getting
interesting, billy.
239
00:10:07,357 --> 00:10:09,608
Billy:
Yup. Really exciting.
240
00:10:14,698 --> 00:10:17,148
-There's some cobble.
-Yeah, there they are.
241
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,177
You got one, two.
This one, three, four, five.
242
00:10:21,288 --> 00:10:23,638
-That's flat, too.
-Yeah.
243
00:10:23,749 --> 00:10:25,031
The question is, what do we do?
244
00:10:25,208 --> 00:10:26,532
Billy:
Right. It certainly looks
245
00:10:26,793 --> 00:10:29,235
Very typical to other things
that we saw down
246
00:10:29,254 --> 00:10:30,937
On the edge of the swamp
and in the swamp.
247
00:10:31,089 --> 00:10:32,546
The people that built
the path, obviously,
248
00:10:32,549 --> 00:10:33,906
Probably built other roads.
249
00:10:34,092 --> 00:10:36,392
Steve g.:
Another piece of information
250
00:10:36,553 --> 00:10:39,286
That makes this more likely,
or probable, to be a road is
251
00:10:39,514 --> 00:10:41,848
That it's the same width
as the stone road in the swamp.
252
00:10:42,059 --> 00:10:44,484
It's-it's about 20 feet wide.
253
00:10:44,645 --> 00:10:47,479
This is exactly how the road
in the swamp started.
254
00:10:47,731 --> 00:10:50,823
And I wonder
if-if it's carefully excavated,
255
00:10:50,901 --> 00:10:52,459
If there'd be some more clues
256
00:10:52,569 --> 00:10:54,301
That that's portuguese
construction.
257
00:10:54,488 --> 00:10:57,087
Of course,
we've got a team in portugal.
258
00:10:57,089 --> 00:11:00,750
So, we might want
to get laird to look at it.
259
00:11:00,786 --> 00:11:02,752
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
260
00:11:02,871 --> 00:11:04,328
Narrtor:
Now that marty and the team
261
00:11:04,414 --> 00:11:06,014
Have found evidence
of a potentially
262
00:11:06,208 --> 00:11:08,424
Ancient structure
that has never been documented
263
00:11:08,460 --> 00:11:10,727
By previous searchers,
264
00:11:10,879 --> 00:11:13,246
They will enlist
archaeologist laird niven
265
00:11:13,423 --> 00:11:14,914
To join the investigation
266
00:11:15,133 --> 00:11:18,175
In order to help identify
important clues
267
00:11:18,303 --> 00:11:22,088
That may be critical in solving
the 227-year-old mystery.
268
00:11:22,307 --> 00:11:25,833
If we get the archaeologists
in to uncover this
269
00:11:26,019 --> 00:11:27,994
And show us exactly
what it looks like...
270
00:11:28,105 --> 00:11:30,263
Yeah, or at least
tell us what they think.
271
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:31,864
-Yeah.
-In the meantime,
272
00:11:31,942 --> 00:11:33,249
I do want to cut
a cross-section,
273
00:11:33,318 --> 00:11:34,567
So let's try down there.
274
00:11:34,820 --> 00:11:36,769
-Steve g.: Yeah.
-Marty: Okay, let's do it!
275
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:39,072
Narrator: While marty
and members of the team
276
00:11:39,282 --> 00:11:42,442
Continue their investigation
on lot 15...
277
00:11:42,619 --> 00:11:43,993
Terry:
Hopefully,
278
00:11:44,121 --> 00:11:45,778
Some of the great mystery
will be revealed today.
279
00:11:45,956 --> 00:11:47,955
-Yup.
-Let's hope we, uh, come
280
00:11:47,999 --> 00:11:49,707
Into something
very interesting.
281
00:11:49,793 --> 00:11:51,634
Narrator:
...And as the excavation
282
00:11:51,636 --> 00:11:54,879
Of the b4-c shaft continues
in the money pit area,
283
00:11:55,006 --> 00:11:59,725
Some 2,800 miles away in
the city of tomar, portugal...
284
00:11:59,803 --> 00:12:01,811
Corjan:
So, here we are.
285
00:12:01,972 --> 00:12:03,430
Welcome
to the convento de cristo.
286
00:12:03,682 --> 00:12:05,615
João: The castle
of the templar knights.
287
00:12:05,642 --> 00:12:06,983
Peter:
Wow.
288
00:12:07,018 --> 00:12:09,302
Impressive.
289
00:12:09,563 --> 00:12:13,122
João: Built in the 1st
of March of 1160.
290
00:12:13,124 --> 00:12:14,899
Alex:
Wow.
291
00:12:14,985 --> 00:12:17,477
Narrator:
...Rick and alex lagina,
292
00:12:17,529 --> 00:12:20,229
Along with doug crowell
and peter fornetti,
293
00:12:20,490 --> 00:12:22,482
Meet up with historian
joão fiandeiro
294
00:12:22,701 --> 00:12:27,144
And researcher corjan mol
at the convento de cristo,
295
00:12:27,330 --> 00:12:30,473
A location that served
as a stronghold
296
00:12:30,667 --> 00:12:34,419
For the knights templar
more than 800 years ago.
297
00:12:36,089 --> 00:12:38,815
-Rick: Oh, wow.
-Alex: Beautiful.
298
00:12:38,884 --> 00:12:40,508
Rick:
It certainly is.
299
00:12:40,719 --> 00:12:43,185
João:
So, we're here, and now,
300
00:12:43,305 --> 00:12:45,930
I'll show you
the most important
301
00:12:46,016 --> 00:12:48,341
Places where templar knights
left for us.
302
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:51,268
And I'm quite sure
that you will see the links
303
00:12:51,354 --> 00:12:54,421
And the connection
to the oak island.
304
00:12:54,483 --> 00:12:55,422
Oh.
305
00:12:55,567 --> 00:12:56,941
Corjan:
I think we're gonna find
306
00:12:57,027 --> 00:12:58,425
-Some real answers here.
-Rick: Then I'm ready
307
00:12:58,528 --> 00:12:59,619
To go look at them.
308
00:12:59,696 --> 00:13:02,446
-João: Let's go?
-Let's go.
309
00:13:03,533 --> 00:13:05,599
Rick:
Is it possible that somewhere
in the building
310
00:13:05,869 --> 00:13:09,603
There will be a testament
to the fact that they went west?
311
00:13:09,790 --> 00:13:14,383
That they did indeed come
to nova scotia?
312
00:13:14,419 --> 00:13:15,585
That's the hope.
313
00:13:24,721 --> 00:13:26,679
Corjan:
After you, gentlemen.
314
00:13:30,143 --> 00:13:33,478
-So, welcome to new jerusalem.
-Oh, wow.
315
00:13:37,734 --> 00:13:40,985
-Oh.
-Wow. That's incredible.
316
00:13:42,948 --> 00:13:46,324
Rick:
Oh, it's...
It-it defies words.
317
00:13:48,745 --> 00:13:50,553
When you think speechless,
318
00:13:50,664 --> 00:13:53,122
-You see this.
-Exactly.
319
00:13:55,961 --> 00:13:58,002
Corjan:
This is 12th century.
320
00:13:58,088 --> 00:13:59,412
Alex:
You said this is 12th century?
321
00:13:59,589 --> 00:14:01,381
-12th century.
-In the 1100s, this was built?
322
00:14:01,541 --> 00:14:02,674
Exactly.
323
00:14:07,764 --> 00:14:10,423
Narrator:
During the crusades
in 1160 ad,
324
00:14:10,684 --> 00:14:14,285
The knights templar lost control
of temple mount in jerusalem,
325
00:14:14,437 --> 00:14:17,355
Leading their grand master,
gualdim pais,
326
00:14:17,607 --> 00:14:22,317
To establish a new headquarters
in tomar, portugal.
327
00:14:22,404 --> 00:14:25,287
Within the castle of tomar,
he built
328
00:14:25,448 --> 00:14:29,700
The convento de cristo, their
most sacred catholic convent.
329
00:14:29,786 --> 00:14:32,261
It would remain
the order's stronghold
330
00:14:32,455 --> 00:14:35,497
For centuries to come,
and where they were rebranded
331
00:14:35,584 --> 00:14:38,626
As the knights of christ
in 1318.
332
00:14:39,963 --> 00:14:41,971
Corjan:
This is the heart of the heart,
333
00:14:42,132 --> 00:14:45,925
The holy of holiest
of the templars in europe.
334
00:14:47,804 --> 00:14:49,612
Rick:
What this is a testament to is
335
00:14:49,681 --> 00:14:51,614
That nothing was beyond them.
336
00:14:51,641 --> 00:14:53,040
Corjan:
Yeah.
337
00:14:53,226 --> 00:14:56,436
-Nothing.
-Yeah. That's true.
-Yeah.
338
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,481
Rick:
This just defies imagination.
339
00:15:01,902 --> 00:15:03,659
Corjan:
Okay, guys.
340
00:15:03,820 --> 00:15:05,987
-Let's move on.
There's a lot more to see here.
-Hmm.
341
00:15:08,825 --> 00:15:10,166
This was also
a functioning building,
342
00:15:10,243 --> 00:15:11,909
A functional community.
343
00:15:11,995 --> 00:15:14,454
We're on top of a hill,
and they needed water.
344
00:15:14,706 --> 00:15:18,232
So, they built a huge aqueduct
to bring water...
345
00:15:18,376 --> 00:15:20,250
-Is that why?
-...To this place
346
00:15:20,337 --> 00:15:22,069
So they could
sustain themselves.
347
00:15:22,213 --> 00:15:24,622
And the waterways
are underground.
348
00:15:24,716 --> 00:15:27,758
So, there's tunnels under this
castle and under the convent.
349
00:15:27,844 --> 00:15:30,427
And they had a very special way
to indicate
350
00:15:30,513 --> 00:15:32,321
Where the aqueducts
are underground,
351
00:15:32,432 --> 00:15:33,931
And I think
you're going to find
352
00:15:34,059 --> 00:15:36,358
An interesting connection there,
perhaps, to oak island.
353
00:15:36,478 --> 00:15:37,860
Are we allowed
to go underground?
354
00:15:37,938 --> 00:15:39,996
I'll show you now.
355
00:15:40,065 --> 00:15:43,449
João:
Watch your step.
356
00:15:43,526 --> 00:15:45,485
Corjan:
I'll show you how they indicated
357
00:15:45,695 --> 00:15:47,611
The underground water stream.
358
00:15:48,657 --> 00:15:52,450
For the first time I was here,
I noticed this hand on the wall
359
00:15:52,702 --> 00:15:55,519
With this strange,
extended middle finger.
360
00:15:55,705 --> 00:15:58,214
-Rick: Mm-hmm.
-It's clearly a hand.
361
00:15:58,375 --> 00:16:03,219
This, as far as I know,
there's five or six of those
362
00:16:03,380 --> 00:16:06,872
In the convent,
and they indicate the aqueduct.
363
00:16:07,050 --> 00:16:09,558
-Oh.
-So, these hands
364
00:16:09,719 --> 00:16:11,861
Actually indicate
how the water flows
365
00:16:11,930 --> 00:16:13,713
Beneath the convento,
366
00:16:13,890 --> 00:16:15,656
Which reminded me
a little bit
367
00:16:15,809 --> 00:16:18,393
Of the-the finger drains
on oak island.
368
00:16:20,230 --> 00:16:24,890
On oak island, the so-called
finger drains were rock.
369
00:16:25,151 --> 00:16:27,243
-Yeah.
-And then a cap rock
over the top of it.
370
00:16:27,404 --> 00:16:30,229
-Is that how these are formed?
-João: Yes.
371
00:16:30,407 --> 00:16:34,701
Under these,
you have a-a square pipe.
372
00:16:34,953 --> 00:16:36,418
-Corjan: Like a squared gutter.
-João: Yeah.
373
00:16:36,579 --> 00:16:37,995
-Are they capped?
-Corjan: With a... With a...
374
00:16:38,081 --> 00:16:39,755
-With a cap stone.
-With a cap stone.
375
00:16:39,916 --> 00:16:41,057
-Alex: From stone?
-From stone.
-Rick: That's exactly
376
00:16:41,167 --> 00:16:43,442
The way
it's described, right?
377
00:16:43,444 --> 00:16:45,361
-As a finger drain.
-Yeah.
378
00:16:45,422 --> 00:16:49,673
On the island.
A finger drain. There you go.
379
00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:51,742
Narrator:
The print of a hand?
380
00:16:51,928 --> 00:16:55,788
Representing an underground
drainage system?
381
00:16:55,849 --> 00:17:00,118
In 1850, members of
the truro company discovered
382
00:17:00,353 --> 00:17:03,621
That the beach at smith's cove
had been artificially created.
383
00:17:03,815 --> 00:17:08,284
After building a massive dam
composed of earth and rock,
384
00:17:08,361 --> 00:17:09,860
They drained the cove
385
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:12,071
And uncovered five
finger-like drains
386
00:17:12,323 --> 00:17:15,866
Buried beneath layers
of eel grass and coconut fiber.
387
00:17:15,994 --> 00:17:20,245
Constructed of flat stones
and covered with cap rocks,
388
00:17:20,331 --> 00:17:22,965
These drains appeared
to converge at the beach
389
00:17:23,043 --> 00:17:24,559
Into a single tunnel,
390
00:17:24,711 --> 00:17:27,045
Heading due west
toward the money pit.
391
00:17:28,173 --> 00:17:30,940
Is it possible
that the team has just found
392
00:17:31,134 --> 00:17:34,885
The same kind of drainage
system at convento de cristo?
393
00:17:34,971 --> 00:17:36,137
Corjan:
Shall we follow the hands?
394
00:17:36,306 --> 00:17:38,314
-Yes.
-Cool.
395
00:17:38,516 --> 00:17:42,134
Rick:
If there was ever
a connection to oak island,
396
00:17:42,312 --> 00:17:43,502
This is it.
397
00:17:43,646 --> 00:17:45,471
Finger drains in this convento
398
00:17:45,732 --> 00:17:49,776
Built by the templars,
or at least templar influenced,
399
00:17:50,028 --> 00:17:53,479
Exactly as we understand them
in smith's cove.
400
00:17:53,740 --> 00:17:56,615
It doesn't get any
closer connection than that,
401
00:17:56,659 --> 00:17:58,000
At least not yet.
402
00:17:58,078 --> 00:17:59,576
You saw the hand there,
403
00:17:59,662 --> 00:18:01,395
You know, at the bottom
of the... Of the wall,
404
00:18:01,539 --> 00:18:05,458
And then... It lands here.
405
00:18:05,752 --> 00:18:09,903
You see, the stones here,
then the next hand is there,
406
00:18:10,090 --> 00:18:12,865
Indicating the flow
of the water.
407
00:18:12,967 --> 00:18:15,492
Finger drain.
408
00:18:15,678 --> 00:18:17,177
Rick:
This is an exact
representation
409
00:18:17,263 --> 00:18:19,639
Of the finger drains
on the island.
410
00:18:19,849 --> 00:18:21,641
-Cap rock.
-Mm-hmm.
411
00:18:21,935 --> 00:18:25,344
Corjan:
They were engineers
as much as, you know,
412
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:26,813
Religious monks.
413
00:18:26,981 --> 00:18:29,248
Engineers extraordinaire.
414
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,609
-Yeah. Yeah.
-I mean, from what we've seen.
415
00:18:31,820 --> 00:18:33,352
Okay, guys. Let's move on.
416
00:18:33,530 --> 00:18:34,821
Step through that door there.
417
00:18:35,031 --> 00:18:36,597
-Right through here?
-Yeah.
-Yup.
418
00:18:36,825 --> 00:18:38,691
Corjan:
I'd like to show you
a number of things.
419
00:18:38,868 --> 00:18:42,345
So, we're going to walk
back in time again,
420
00:18:42,539 --> 00:18:45,331
All the way to the original
gate of the castle.
421
00:18:45,542 --> 00:18:48,126
Rick:
Can't wait.
422
00:18:50,839 --> 00:18:53,722
Corjan:
Straight down here, guys.
423
00:18:53,925 --> 00:18:58,785
So, we're now going to the more
medieval part of the property.
424
00:18:58,888 --> 00:19:00,513
To the original gate.
425
00:19:01,516 --> 00:19:03,199
Narrator:
At the convento de christo
426
00:19:03,268 --> 00:19:04,641
In tomar, portugal...
427
00:19:04,727 --> 00:19:07,161
This would have been
the grand entrance.
428
00:19:07,313 --> 00:19:08,813
Narrator:
...Researcher corjan mol
429
00:19:09,023 --> 00:19:11,073
And historian joão fiandeiro
430
00:19:11,234 --> 00:19:13,517
Are showing rick lagina
and members of the team
431
00:19:13,570 --> 00:19:17,029
Clues that they believe connect
the knights templar
432
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,064
To the oak island mystery.
433
00:19:19,284 --> 00:19:20,383
Corjan:
Now there's a couple of things
434
00:19:20,451 --> 00:19:21,701
I would like to show you here.
435
00:19:21,911 --> 00:19:23,485
To start with,
now over the arch,
436
00:19:23,746 --> 00:19:27,874
The big templar cross.
This was their trademark.
437
00:19:28,084 --> 00:19:30,559
Now, maybe
even more interesting,
438
00:19:30,628 --> 00:19:32,277
And it's worn, but if you move
439
00:19:32,463 --> 00:19:35,239
Your eyes down
to the yellowish stone,
440
00:19:35,425 --> 00:19:40,185
I believe there you have
a cross with four dots.
441
00:19:40,263 --> 00:19:42,922
-Like the h+o stone.
-Oh!
442
00:19:43,141 --> 00:19:46,333
What I mean is this cross
here with the four dots.
443
00:19:46,436 --> 00:19:48,502
Rick:
Wow.
444
00:19:48,688 --> 00:19:50,779
Narrator:
A cross inscription?
445
00:19:50,940 --> 00:19:54,417
Matching a symbol found
on the so-called h+o stone?
446
00:19:55,486 --> 00:19:59,822
Discovered on the northern
shore of oak island in 1921,
447
00:20:00,116 --> 00:20:03,609
The h+o stone was a fragment
of a much larger boulder
448
00:20:03,828 --> 00:20:06,728
That was blown up
with dynamite by searchers
449
00:20:06,730 --> 00:20:08,389
Who mistakenly believed
450
00:20:08,583 --> 00:20:11,300
That it marked the location
of buried treasure.
451
00:20:11,419 --> 00:20:13,586
João:
This is the thing
that the templars
452
00:20:13,871 --> 00:20:17,590
Would use to mark something
of their own.
453
00:20:17,884 --> 00:20:21,051
Narrator:
One week ago,
while investigating
454
00:20:21,137 --> 00:20:23,462
The ancient knights templar
church of fontarcada,
455
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,722
In póvoa de lanhoso, portugal,
456
00:20:25,808 --> 00:20:28,117
The team discovered
a templar cross
457
00:20:28,269 --> 00:20:31,728
Featuring another character
on the h+o stone.
458
00:20:31,814 --> 00:20:33,773
Corjan:
The circle and the dot
is an early
459
00:20:33,983 --> 00:20:36,550
Alchemical symbol for gold.
460
00:20:36,778 --> 00:20:39,045
Narrator:
Is it possible
that the h+o stone
461
00:20:39,155 --> 00:20:40,679
Was a marker
for buried treasure
462
00:20:40,865 --> 00:20:42,782
Somewhere on oak island
after all?
463
00:20:42,951 --> 00:20:44,633
A treasure hidden there
464
00:20:44,786 --> 00:20:47,144
By portuguese members
of the knights templar?
465
00:20:47,330 --> 00:20:50,665
So, what do you think
that represents?
466
00:20:51,668 --> 00:20:54,251
I think it's a templar cross,
467
00:20:54,295 --> 00:20:55,811
And knights templar, here,
468
00:20:55,922 --> 00:20:57,587
Continuing into the order
of christ,
469
00:20:57,674 --> 00:20:59,740
Perhaps in possession
of something awesome
470
00:20:59,842 --> 00:21:01,241
From the holy land,
471
00:21:01,386 --> 00:21:03,761
That brought holy relics
to north america
472
00:21:03,930 --> 00:21:05,554
And oak island.
473
00:21:05,682 --> 00:21:08,090
Alex: I think
we've kind of seen that
474
00:21:08,351 --> 00:21:11,143
There is a thread that runs
through the knights templar,
475
00:21:11,354 --> 00:21:13,345
And it's plausible
that they had
476
00:21:13,523 --> 00:21:15,114
Something in their possession
477
00:21:15,191 --> 00:21:16,782
That they may have
wanted to hide.
478
00:21:16,943 --> 00:21:20,111
It's plausible that they
could have reached america.
479
00:21:20,363 --> 00:21:21,854
Yeah, I think
that's exactly what it is.
480
00:21:22,073 --> 00:21:23,339
Rick:
We've heard this before--
481
00:21:23,408 --> 00:21:24,906
The suggestion that
482
00:21:25,034 --> 00:21:26,933
The knights templar had
in their possession
483
00:21:27,036 --> 00:21:28,702
Precious items.
484
00:21:28,830 --> 00:21:31,639
What's impactful is
that we're seeing symbology
485
00:21:31,791 --> 00:21:34,666
That we know once existed
on the island.
486
00:21:34,752 --> 00:21:37,110
And could that
have something to do
487
00:21:37,213 --> 00:21:40,072
With westerly exploration,
488
00:21:40,316 --> 00:21:42,291
Perhaps even to nova scotia?
489
00:21:42,552 --> 00:21:45,561
-We always seek
connective tissue.
-Yeah.
490
00:21:45,722 --> 00:21:48,388
The most interesting puzzles
of all are those
491
00:21:48,391 --> 00:21:50,123
That are difficult to solve.
492
00:21:50,310 --> 00:21:51,367
-That's it.
-And we have one here.
493
00:21:51,436 --> 00:21:53,318
-Yeah.
-That's it.
494
00:21:53,438 --> 00:21:55,704
But surely,
we have more pieces
495
00:21:55,773 --> 00:21:57,148
Because of these efforts.
496
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,208
So, all the more reason
to continue the search.
497
00:21:59,277 --> 00:22:00,960
-Absolutely.
-Yeah.
498
00:22:01,070 --> 00:22:03,487
Rick:
Okay, let's go meet doug.
499
00:22:03,573 --> 00:22:05,655
Narrator: As rick
and members of the team
500
00:22:05,783 --> 00:22:09,368
Continue their investigation
in tomar, portugal,
501
00:22:09,620 --> 00:22:13,722
Some 2,800 miles
to the west on oak island...
502
00:22:13,791 --> 00:22:15,240
Marty:
Here's the man.
503
00:22:15,418 --> 00:22:17,143
-Hey, fellas.
-Hey. You called?
504
00:22:17,295 --> 00:22:19,244
Narrator:
...Archaeologist laird niven
505
00:22:19,422 --> 00:22:21,705
And project manager scott barlow
506
00:22:21,799 --> 00:22:23,615
Join marty lagina
and other members of the team
507
00:22:23,843 --> 00:22:26,735
To continue uncovering
the believed stone pathway
508
00:22:26,888 --> 00:22:31,223
Between the swamp
and the money pit on lot 15.
509
00:22:31,517 --> 00:22:33,683
Marty:
Yeah, here's the deal, laird.
Here's the background.
510
00:22:33,811 --> 00:22:37,129
We ran the okm, got several
lined-up cross sections
511
00:22:37,273 --> 00:22:39,005
Of 20 feet across.
512
00:22:39,233 --> 00:22:42,084
We dug the best one up there,
which I'd like you to look at.
513
00:22:42,153 --> 00:22:43,736
Laird:
Okay. We're looking
514
00:22:44,030 --> 00:22:45,345
-For the extension
to the road, right?
-Marty: Yes.
515
00:22:45,490 --> 00:22:47,030
-Yup.
-You guys walk on up.
516
00:22:47,116 --> 00:22:48,348
I'll bring the machine,
and see what you think
517
00:22:48,451 --> 00:22:49,516
Of that spot right up there.
518
00:22:49,619 --> 00:22:51,619
-Okay.
-All right.
519
00:22:55,708 --> 00:22:58,084
Marty:
The stone road
is clearly man-made.
520
00:22:58,294 --> 00:23:00,102
I mean, I don't think
there's any doubt.
521
00:23:00,296 --> 00:23:02,379
But I don't know really
what to make of it.
522
00:23:02,507 --> 00:23:05,441
The road has to go somewhere,
and it has to go somewhere
523
00:23:05,635 --> 00:23:08,928
For a reason, and maybe we can
figure out what that reason is.
524
00:23:09,138 --> 00:23:11,097
Gary:
This is the area, mate.
525
00:23:11,265 --> 00:23:13,248
Two scoops there,
526
00:23:13,476 --> 00:23:16,435
And started hitting all
of these rocks and boulders.
527
00:23:17,397 --> 00:23:19,045
Well, laird,
do you see anything?
528
00:23:19,148 --> 00:23:20,489
Laird:
They're angular.
529
00:23:20,566 --> 00:23:22,549
Billy's observation is that
530
00:23:22,693 --> 00:23:24,326
These don't look glacial
because
531
00:23:24,445 --> 00:23:26,061
-They're so angular.
-Mm-hmm. So angular.
532
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:27,780
And they're slate.
We don't see much slate
533
00:23:28,032 --> 00:23:29,739
-On this side, right?
-Yeah. I mean, all of 'em.
534
00:23:29,826 --> 00:23:33,577
This-this seemed like what
we were looking for right away.
535
00:23:33,663 --> 00:23:36,246
And we spent a lot of time
on that stone pathway,
536
00:23:36,332 --> 00:23:38,415
-And this reminds me of that.
-Yes.
537
00:23:38,501 --> 00:23:41,127
Gary:
It's rocks and cobbles.
Small cobbles.
538
00:23:41,295 --> 00:23:43,295
Billy:
Just take a peek.
539
00:23:44,841 --> 00:23:46,632
This is our very first bucket,
but if you look here.
540
00:23:46,801 --> 00:23:48,492
-Oh, yeah. Yeah.
-Right?
541
00:23:48,678 --> 00:23:50,002
-You got a lot of rocks
here, laird.
-Yeah.
542
00:23:50,179 --> 00:23:51,886
There, there, there.
There, there.
543
00:23:52,014 --> 00:23:53,264
-And they're loose, too, right?
-They're loose.
544
00:23:53,516 --> 00:23:55,440
-They're not packed in.
-Yeah. It's the size.
545
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:56,833
-Like, they're not huge.
-Yeah, yeah.
546
00:23:57,019 --> 00:23:58,251
-And the placement.
-Right.
547
00:23:58,438 --> 00:24:00,846
They look like
they've been put in there.
548
00:24:01,023 --> 00:24:03,381
Marty:
How do we do this?
549
00:24:03,526 --> 00:24:04,683
How do we do... Ascertain
550
00:24:04,861 --> 00:24:06,259
Whether there's something
going on here?
551
00:24:06,446 --> 00:24:08,453
Laird:
If we just
take the excavator and
552
00:24:08,531 --> 00:24:10,022
Just kind of roll it over,
553
00:24:10,283 --> 00:24:12,633
When you feel the rocks,
just come up and go along.
554
00:24:12,702 --> 00:24:14,526
The purpose is to find
555
00:24:14,704 --> 00:24:17,821
No rocks, rocks, no rocks.
556
00:24:17,874 --> 00:24:19,665
-That may define a road.
-Marty: Okay.
557
00:24:19,876 --> 00:24:21,775
You show billy
where to cut one more.
558
00:24:21,919 --> 00:24:24,770
We got laird here
so we can do it.
559
00:24:24,881 --> 00:24:26,355
Maybe it'll tell us
its secrets
560
00:24:26,507 --> 00:24:28,174
Without having to do
a bunch of excavation.
561
00:24:28,468 --> 00:24:30,176
All right, let's quit gabbing
and start digging. Ready?
562
00:24:30,428 --> 00:24:33,179
-Steve g.: Let's do it!
-Gary: We're ready.
563
00:24:36,893 --> 00:24:39,134
Narrator: As a new day
begins on oak island..
564
00:24:39,312 --> 00:24:42,646
Jack:
The game's afoot.
565
00:24:42,732 --> 00:24:44,072
Narrator: ...While
the excavations continue
566
00:24:44,150 --> 00:24:46,192
In the money pit area,
567
00:24:46,360 --> 00:24:48,360
And on lot 15...
568
00:24:48,571 --> 00:24:52,155
All right. Moment of truth.
569
00:24:52,241 --> 00:24:54,867
Narrator:
...Nearly 2,800 miles
570
00:24:55,077 --> 00:24:56,493
Across the atlantic ocean...
571
00:24:56,496 --> 00:24:58,161
Rick:
Bom dia.
572
00:24:58,247 --> 00:25:00,088
Narrator: ...Rick lagina
and members of the team
573
00:25:00,291 --> 00:25:04,059
Arrive at the renowned military
museum in lisbon, portugal.
574
00:25:04,128 --> 00:25:06,094
Nice to meet you.
All of you.
575
00:25:06,255 --> 00:25:08,196
Narrator: Here, corjan mol
has arranged for them
576
00:25:08,424 --> 00:25:12,601
To meet with sergeants
ricardo lopes and carlos magro,
577
00:25:12,762 --> 00:25:16,222
Both of whom are experts
in portuguese military history.
578
00:25:16,432 --> 00:25:18,273
Rick: So, the reason
why we're here is,
579
00:25:18,392 --> 00:25:20,500
We have some artifacts
that we have found
580
00:25:20,603 --> 00:25:21,777
On the island,
581
00:25:21,854 --> 00:25:23,854
And we were hoping
582
00:25:24,148 --> 00:25:26,523
That you can affirm that
the stone shot which we have
583
00:25:26,651 --> 00:25:31,487
Is an exact match to what you
may have here in the museum.
584
00:25:32,615 --> 00:25:34,532
Well, we've actually
brought along replicas
585
00:25:34,825 --> 00:25:37,743
-Of the stone shot
we found on oak island.
-Okay.
586
00:25:37,912 --> 00:25:40,246
All right, there's one.
587
00:25:44,293 --> 00:25:47,211
Yes. 3.9 centimeters.
588
00:25:49,298 --> 00:25:51,540
Narrator:
Over the past two years,
589
00:25:51,801 --> 00:25:54,618
The team has found
two small cannonballs,
590
00:25:54,804 --> 00:25:58,030
Or stone shots,
one of which was recovered
591
00:25:58,140 --> 00:25:59,789
From deep
in the money pit area.
592
00:25:59,976 --> 00:26:03,202
But even more compelling
was the recent analysis
593
00:26:03,396 --> 00:26:06,555
Conducted by geology professor
dr. Robert raeside,
594
00:26:06,816 --> 00:26:10,292
Who believed the stone
that they were composed of
595
00:26:10,486 --> 00:26:14,363
May have originated
in portugal's azores islands.
596
00:26:15,324 --> 00:26:17,566
Doug:
Could we expect our stone shot
597
00:26:17,827 --> 00:26:20,452
To be made in the azores
or here on the mainland?
598
00:26:22,581 --> 00:26:23,789
Wow.
599
00:26:26,168 --> 00:26:27,543
Mm-hmm.
600
00:26:28,570 --> 00:26:30,212
Yes. Yes.
601
00:26:31,215 --> 00:26:33,498
-Oh, wow.
-Alex: Is that a general rule
602
00:26:33,676 --> 00:26:36,302
That smaller caliber on ships?
603
00:26:41,559 --> 00:26:43,017
-Okay.
-Yes. Yes. Yes.
604
00:26:45,104 --> 00:26:46,520
Mm-hmm.
605
00:26:47,773 --> 00:26:49,315
Rick:
What they call a swivel gun?
606
00:26:51,902 --> 00:26:54,778
If we could see a cannon
that would shoot that stone shot
607
00:26:54,864 --> 00:26:56,780
Such as that,
we would love to see it.
608
00:26:59,118 --> 00:27:00,876
Rick:
Love to.
609
00:27:01,037 --> 00:27:05,213
We puzzle now over
why was that stone shot found
610
00:27:05,249 --> 00:27:06,874
Down in the money pit?
611
00:27:08,002 --> 00:27:09,284
This one could be used
on a ship.
612
00:27:09,462 --> 00:27:11,562
Rick:
Are they
613
00:27:11,756 --> 00:27:14,923
An artifact that was absolutely
connected to oak island
614
00:27:15,092 --> 00:27:17,058
And perhaps here to this land?
615
00:27:17,178 --> 00:27:19,311
-Alex: So, this right here?
-Ricardo: Yes.
616
00:27:19,388 --> 00:27:23,715
This is... 15th, 16th century
617
00:27:23,934 --> 00:27:27,460
With a four-centimeter caliber
and fires
618
00:27:27,647 --> 00:27:30,964
A, uh, half a portuguese pound
iron ball.
619
00:27:31,150 --> 00:27:33,608
I've got one
of the replicas here.
620
00:27:33,736 --> 00:27:36,779
Um, we can try it. It's-it's
pretty corroded here, so...
621
00:27:37,782 --> 00:27:39,239
Corjan:
Oh, look at that.
622
00:27:40,576 --> 00:27:41,742
It's pretty close.
623
00:27:44,121 --> 00:27:45,754
So, I would say
that's a match to this.
624
00:27:45,915 --> 00:27:47,914
But that pretty much confirms
that that is a ca...
625
00:27:47,917 --> 00:27:50,483
A known caliber of shot.
626
00:27:50,586 --> 00:27:53,245
From the 14, 1500s.
627
00:27:53,464 --> 00:27:57,674
Rick:
But there's a possibility
that if you were
628
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,885
Doing something,
say on our island,
629
00:28:00,137 --> 00:28:02,954
You needed to protect
what you were doing,
630
00:28:03,099 --> 00:28:04,673
To keep people away,
631
00:28:04,809 --> 00:28:07,034
Remove this gun from the ship,
632
00:28:07,186 --> 00:28:09,978
Mount it in some fashion
on the island.
633
00:28:21,784 --> 00:28:24,184
-That's big. That's huge.
-Corjan: Good.
634
00:28:24,453 --> 00:28:27,712
Narrator:
Could the team have just
found an explanation
635
00:28:27,832 --> 00:28:30,023
For how one of the potentially
portuguese stone shots
636
00:28:30,209 --> 00:28:32,859
Was found deep
in the money pit area?
637
00:28:33,045 --> 00:28:35,270
There's quite a bit
of corrosion in there.
638
00:28:35,464 --> 00:28:37,648
Narrator:
If so, could it be related
to the evidence
639
00:28:37,842 --> 00:28:40,234
Of wooden tunnels
discovered earlier this year,
640
00:28:40,386 --> 00:28:44,062
Which could date
to as early as 1488?
641
00:28:44,140 --> 00:28:46,240
And also,
the high concentrations
642
00:28:46,441 --> 00:28:48,308
Of silver and gold?
643
00:28:48,352 --> 00:28:50,619
Doug:
I think we have a new, strong
644
00:28:50,813 --> 00:28:53,154
Possibility that we really
have to give consideration to.
645
00:28:53,315 --> 00:28:55,941
And I'm very, very hopeful,
but it couldn't happen
646
00:28:56,152 --> 00:28:58,051
Without people
like yourselves.
647
00:28:58,154 --> 00:29:00,320
We're most appreciative.
648
00:29:03,659 --> 00:29:05,617
Narrator:
Later that afternoon,
649
00:29:05,828 --> 00:29:08,320
Nearly 20 miles west
of lisbon...
650
00:29:08,497 --> 00:29:11,123
João:
Welcome to sintra.
651
00:29:11,375 --> 00:29:15,585
You are in the heart
of this very romantic town.
652
00:29:15,671 --> 00:29:17,070
Narrator:
...Rick lagina and his team
653
00:29:17,256 --> 00:29:18,997
Arrive at an early
20th century palace
654
00:29:19,175 --> 00:29:22,134
Known as
"quinta da regaleira."
655
00:29:22,303 --> 00:29:24,419
Here, corjan mol
656
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:28,156
And templar historian
joão fiandeiro have arranged
657
00:29:28,350 --> 00:29:31,159
To show them one final
structure that they believe
658
00:29:31,353 --> 00:29:34,179
May be directly connected
to the oak island mystery.
659
00:29:34,398 --> 00:29:37,483
João:
The templar knights
came to here,
660
00:29:37,693 --> 00:29:39,735
And they managed the land
for a long time.
661
00:29:40,029 --> 00:29:43,930
Everything you see was built
in the last century
662
00:29:44,116 --> 00:29:48,493
To create this magical
masonic wonderland.
663
00:29:48,537 --> 00:29:51,530
But it's based
on much older ideas.
664
00:29:51,791 --> 00:29:54,874
Narrator:
In 1147, during the crusades,
665
00:29:54,919 --> 00:29:57,886
Following his conquest
of lisbon,
666
00:29:58,005 --> 00:30:01,865
The first king of portugal,
afonso henriques,
667
00:30:02,051 --> 00:30:04,592
Also captured the town
of sintra.
668
00:30:04,595 --> 00:30:07,045
In 1154, the town
669
00:30:07,264 --> 00:30:09,097
And its administrative duties
were transferred
670
00:30:09,141 --> 00:30:10,932
To the knights templar,
671
00:30:11,060 --> 00:30:14,460
Who utilized it as a stronghold
for centuries to come.
672
00:30:14,563 --> 00:30:17,372
However, in 1904,
673
00:30:17,574 --> 00:30:19,048
A wealthy freemason
674
00:30:19,235 --> 00:30:21,710
Named antónio augusto
de carvalho monteiro
675
00:30:21,779 --> 00:30:24,296
Purchased this property
676
00:30:24,406 --> 00:30:27,599
And established it
as "quinta da regaleira,"
677
00:30:27,618 --> 00:30:31,327
A vast palatial estate
where he is believed
678
00:30:31,413 --> 00:30:34,906
To have hosted secret
masonic and templar rituals.
679
00:30:35,084 --> 00:30:37,425
There's indeed something here
680
00:30:37,586 --> 00:30:40,212
That, uh, will remind you
very much of oak island.
681
00:30:40,464 --> 00:30:44,758
The initiation well
that is the masterpiece here.
682
00:30:44,969 --> 00:30:47,002
-Let's go.
-Rick: I'd love to.
683
00:30:47,221 --> 00:30:50,055
The focus of today's visit
is really
684
00:30:50,307 --> 00:30:54,092
Any possible associations
we can make to oak island.
685
00:30:54,353 --> 00:30:56,578
There might be some sort
of connection, some sort of
686
00:30:56,647 --> 00:30:58,187
"aha" moment.
687
00:30:58,274 --> 00:31:00,582
But we'll see
as we experience the quinta.
688
00:31:00,776 --> 00:31:03,176
So, the well is actually in
this megalithic formation here.
689
00:31:03,379 --> 00:31:04,869
Oh, here!
690
00:31:05,030 --> 00:31:08,289
-João: Yup.
-Corjan: It's easy
to walk past.
691
00:31:08,367 --> 00:31:10,617
João:
The beauty is inside.
692
00:31:12,371 --> 00:31:13,871
Rick:
That's remarkable.
693
00:31:18,410 --> 00:31:19,709
Wow.
694
00:31:19,753 --> 00:31:22,971
Alex:
Wow. It's deep.
695
00:31:23,132 --> 00:31:26,274
What is this dimension,
the diameter?
696
00:31:26,302 --> 00:31:27,843
13 feet.
697
00:31:28,888 --> 00:31:30,703
-Which is...
-That sounds awfully familiar.
698
00:31:30,848 --> 00:31:32,564
That chamber
at the bottom--
699
00:31:32,641 --> 00:31:35,767
I mean, it's very masonic
at its core.
700
00:31:35,978 --> 00:31:38,620
What I can't help
compare it to is
701
00:31:38,731 --> 00:31:40,147
The design of the money pit.
702
00:31:45,654 --> 00:31:46,327
Narrator:
In sintra, portugal,
703
00:31:46,363 --> 00:31:49,405
At an estate k
704
00:31:49,491 --> 00:31:52,392
Rick lagina
and members of the team
705
00:31:52,661 --> 00:31:55,895
Have just arrived at an early
20th century masonic structure
706
00:31:56,081 --> 00:31:58,673
Known as
the "initiation well."
707
00:31:58,834 --> 00:32:03,086
João:
The initiation well
has nine platforms.
708
00:32:03,172 --> 00:32:05,130
Peter:
The nine floors sounds
like something
709
00:32:05,341 --> 00:32:07,515
That we have possibly
on oak island.
710
00:32:07,635 --> 00:32:09,468
-Rick: Yeah, the money pit.
-Alex: Yup.
711
00:32:10,846 --> 00:32:12,270
(camera shutter clicking)
712
00:32:12,348 --> 00:32:15,098
Okay, let's go down.
713
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:17,192
Smooth and easy.
714
00:32:17,269 --> 00:32:19,752
Guys, watch your steps.
715
00:32:20,022 --> 00:32:23,482
Rick:
When you look at the well,
there are nine levels.
716
00:32:23,776 --> 00:32:26,518
We know there were nine levels
in the original description
717
00:32:26,695 --> 00:32:28,520
Of the money pit.
718
00:32:28,739 --> 00:32:30,689
We know
that the original money pit
719
00:32:30,866 --> 00:32:32,473
Was 13 feet in diameter.
720
00:32:32,576 --> 00:32:34,359
It's curious.
721
00:32:34,536 --> 00:32:37,212
If that is not a coincidence,
722
00:32:37,331 --> 00:32:39,047
And it seems
as though it is not,
723
00:32:39,166 --> 00:32:41,533
Then where was
that information derived?
724
00:32:41,752 --> 00:32:44,877
And why was it important
to replicate it?
725
00:32:44,922 --> 00:32:47,923
What does it mean?
I don't know.
726
00:32:48,175 --> 00:32:50,433
Corjan:
It is rather spectacular,
isn't it?
727
00:32:50,435 --> 00:32:51,617
Alex:
Yup.
728
00:32:51,762 --> 00:32:53,345
Doug:
Remember, the restalls thought
729
00:32:53,555 --> 00:32:54,846
There was a spiral staircase
730
00:32:55,057 --> 00:32:57,015
-Around the money pit?
-Rick: Mm-hmm.
731
00:32:57,184 --> 00:32:59,267
Narrator:
In 1963,
732
00:32:59,561 --> 00:33:01,252
While conducting a lateral
drilling operation
733
00:33:01,397 --> 00:33:02,980
Deep in the money pit,
734
00:33:03,273 --> 00:33:06,558
Oak island treasure hunters
robert restall, sr.
735
00:33:06,568 --> 00:33:09,152
And bobby restall, jr.
Reportedly drilled
736
00:33:09,238 --> 00:33:10,470
Through a series
of mysterious voids
737
00:33:10,572 --> 00:33:13,114
At oddly descending angles
738
00:33:13,242 --> 00:33:16,159
Beginning more
than 100 feet underground.
739
00:33:16,453 --> 00:33:20,321
This discovery led them
to the astonishing conclusion
740
00:33:20,582 --> 00:33:23,091
That a spiral tunnel
encircled the money pit,
741
00:33:23,252 --> 00:33:25,752
Potentially leading
to the fabled treasure vault.
742
00:33:25,963 --> 00:33:27,829
Corjan:
We're almost there, guys.
743
00:33:28,090 --> 00:33:31,049
Narrator:
Is it possible
that the initiation well,
744
00:33:31,260 --> 00:33:34,035
With its nine levels,
13-foot diameter,
745
00:33:34,263 --> 00:33:36,755
And which was constructed
nearly six decades
746
00:33:36,974 --> 00:33:40,333
Before the restalls'
discovery, is in fact,
747
00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:43,729
A replica
of the oak island money pit?
748
00:33:46,358 --> 00:33:48,633
Corjan:
Oh, man. So, you would
749
00:33:48,652 --> 00:33:51,953
Perfectly see that oak tree
from here, right?
750
00:33:52,114 --> 00:33:55,173
Rick:
The branch of an oak tree
over the well.
751
00:33:55,325 --> 00:33:58,117
That's exactly what
the money pit story is about.
752
00:33:58,119 --> 00:34:00,353
Wow.
753
00:34:00,497 --> 00:34:01,847
Corjan:
It's like staring up
754
00:34:01,957 --> 00:34:04,599
From the bottom
of the money pit.
755
00:34:04,668 --> 00:34:06,634
Narrator:
In 1795,
756
00:34:06,795 --> 00:34:10,689
When freemason daniel mcginnis
and his two friends
757
00:34:10,799 --> 00:34:12,156
First discovered
the money pit,
758
00:34:12,384 --> 00:34:15,092
They were not merely
intrigued by the 13-foot
759
00:34:15,179 --> 00:34:17,429
Diameter depression
in the ground,
760
00:34:17,639 --> 00:34:19,656
But also,
by a block and tackle
761
00:34:19,850 --> 00:34:23,434
Hanging from the branch of
an oak tree directly overhead.
762
00:34:23,562 --> 00:34:27,238
Could this oak tree's
position, directly next
763
00:34:27,357 --> 00:34:29,741
To the initiation well
in sintra, portugal,
764
00:34:29,860 --> 00:34:32,560
Simply be a matter
of coincidence?
765
00:34:32,821 --> 00:34:36,698
We now start the path
in the tunnels.
766
00:34:36,992 --> 00:34:40,001
Rick:
The whole point of
the initiation well is to
767
00:34:40,162 --> 00:34:42,578
Create a representation
of the influence
768
00:34:42,664 --> 00:34:45,390
Of templars,
possibly the influence of
769
00:34:45,501 --> 00:34:47,817
Masonic beliefs and ideals.
770
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,569
And here we are.
771
00:34:49,671 --> 00:34:50,979
Back into the light.
772
00:34:51,048 --> 00:34:52,513
João:
Back in the light.
773
00:34:52,549 --> 00:34:53,906
Initiation done!
774
00:34:54,093 --> 00:34:55,834
Rick:
There may be some correlation
775
00:34:56,011 --> 00:34:57,685
Between the initiation well
776
00:34:57,763 --> 00:34:59,845
And the money pit
on oak island.
777
00:34:59,890 --> 00:35:01,847
We have to
take the information back
778
00:35:01,892 --> 00:35:03,842
And-and see what it tells us.
779
00:35:05,020 --> 00:35:08,938
What we've seen here is a...
A vision that was not inspired,
780
00:35:08,941 --> 00:35:10,482
But instructed
781
00:35:10,692 --> 00:35:12,818
By knowledge from the past,
782
00:35:13,028 --> 00:35:14,552
Which is being carried forward
783
00:35:14,738 --> 00:35:17,489
From the knights templar
into the order of christ,
784
00:35:17,783 --> 00:35:22,059
Into the masonic thought,
leading all the way up to this.
785
00:35:22,162 --> 00:35:23,269
Right.
786
00:35:23,413 --> 00:35:24,696
Alex:
It shows that the ideas
787
00:35:24,957 --> 00:35:28,549
Have persisted
throughout time even to today.
788
00:35:28,710 --> 00:35:32,295
And that means that they must
have been worth preserving.
789
00:35:32,422 --> 00:35:34,780
I truly believe in what
we have learned in portugal.
790
00:35:34,967 --> 00:35:39,644
It only enhances my belief
that oak island
791
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,388
Is part of this legacy.
792
00:35:41,557 --> 00:35:42,955
I think we continue
793
00:35:43,142 --> 00:35:44,790
To persevere in that...
With that hope.
794
00:35:44,977 --> 00:35:47,686
And for that, we...
We thank you.
795
00:35:48,856 --> 00:35:52,207
-Rick: Sempre avanti.
-João: Sempre avanti.
796
00:35:52,401 --> 00:35:54,909
Narrator: While rick
and members of the team
797
00:35:55,070 --> 00:35:57,379
Conclude their visit
in sintra, portugal,
798
00:35:57,447 --> 00:35:59,731
Back on oak island,
799
00:35:59,950 --> 00:36:02,367
Just east of the swamp
on lot 15...
800
00:36:02,578 --> 00:36:03,818
Steve g.:
Well, there's your cobble.
801
00:36:04,079 --> 00:36:04,953
Gary: There we go.
There's the cobble rock.
802
00:36:05,122 --> 00:36:06,538
Lots of cobble.
803
00:36:06,790 --> 00:36:08,406
Narrator: ...Other members
of the fellowship
804
00:36:08,667 --> 00:36:11,476
Continue unearthing
the mysterious stone pathway,
805
00:36:11,628 --> 00:36:14,429
Hoping to identify
just where it leads.
806
00:36:14,464 --> 00:36:15,838
You found the cobble,
807
00:36:15,924 --> 00:36:18,049
Which happens
between the okm anomaly,
808
00:36:18,135 --> 00:36:19,551
Which is the blue tape
there and there.
809
00:36:19,803 --> 00:36:21,452
Laird: Below the stone
should be an organic layer
810
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,447
-Where the original
surface was, right?
-Right.
811
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:25,757
As you say,
that'd be very telling.
812
00:36:25,893 --> 00:36:26,832
Yeah, exactly.
813
00:36:26,977 --> 00:36:29,811
Well, we'll go a little deeper.
814
00:36:36,945 --> 00:36:40,455
So, so far does this look
placed or natural?
815
00:36:40,490 --> 00:36:42,199
It looks placed to me.
816
00:36:42,492 --> 00:36:43,908
Marty:
I'm kind of the guy
who would like to dig
817
00:36:43,994 --> 00:36:47,078
On almost any information
on oak island.
818
00:36:47,247 --> 00:36:48,580
The anomalies line up,
819
00:36:48,865 --> 00:36:50,281
And it looks like the road,
if this is accurate,
820
00:36:50,500 --> 00:36:52,626
Might be actually
heading towards the money pit.
821
00:36:54,004 --> 00:36:56,304
So, it could be
an important discovery.
822
00:36:56,465 --> 00:36:59,049
-That's funny. It seems
much shallower over here.
-Yeah.
823
00:37:00,010 --> 00:37:01,885
What we can do is cut a profile
824
00:37:02,137 --> 00:37:05,013
To take a look
at the stratigraphy, right?
825
00:37:13,482 --> 00:37:15,148
Steve g.:
What do you see, laird?
826
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,026
The horizon
is pretty distinctive.
827
00:37:19,529 --> 00:37:21,479
See, it's kind of
dipping down?
828
00:37:21,740 --> 00:37:23,590
Scott:
Yeah, I'd say
it's much shallower.
829
00:37:23,784 --> 00:37:26,534
Gary:
Think this could
possibly be a road, laird?
830
00:37:36,672 --> 00:37:38,195
Narrator:
On lot 15,
831
00:37:38,340 --> 00:37:39,923
Members of the oak island team
832
00:37:40,208 --> 00:37:42,691
Have just uncovered
another large section
833
00:37:42,693 --> 00:37:44,611
Of the mysterious stone pathway
834
00:37:44,805 --> 00:37:49,173
Between the money pit area
and the triangle-shaped swamp.
835
00:37:49,351 --> 00:37:51,250
See, it's kind of dipping down?
836
00:37:51,395 --> 00:37:52,552
Steve g.:
It's filled in with rocks.
837
00:37:52,554 --> 00:37:54,012
Billy:
Yeah, so you start
838
00:37:54,231 --> 00:37:55,647
Filling your ruts in, right?
You don't need to fill
839
00:37:55,857 --> 00:37:58,099
-The whole road.
-Yeah. Yeah.
840
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,594
Laird:
You can see the soil
definitely dip down,
841
00:38:01,697 --> 00:38:03,871
And the cobbles fill that.
842
00:38:04,032 --> 00:38:06,715
So, I think the layer
difference in the path,
843
00:38:06,717 --> 00:38:08,042
The thin layer
of cobbles on one end
844
00:38:08,203 --> 00:38:09,685
And thick layer
of cobbles on the other end,
845
00:38:09,913 --> 00:38:12,605
Just shows us that they were
filling in certain areas
846
00:38:12,708 --> 00:38:14,365
To level it off, uh,
847
00:38:14,626 --> 00:38:16,776
To make transportation
a-a little bit easier.
848
00:38:16,962 --> 00:38:20,588
You'd constantly be
putting more cobbles on.
849
00:38:20,841 --> 00:38:23,240
-Yeah.
-Bit like
fixing potholes today.
850
00:38:23,343 --> 00:38:24,484
Yeah.
851
00:38:24,594 --> 00:38:25,910
Narrator:
Is it possible
852
00:38:26,096 --> 00:38:27,928
That the team
is uncovering a structure
853
00:38:27,930 --> 00:38:30,673
That might lead them
to a breakthrough discovery?
854
00:38:30,726 --> 00:38:34,402
And if so, given its nearly
identical construction
855
00:38:34,563 --> 00:38:37,689
To what rick lagina has
recently been shown in portugal,
856
00:38:37,899 --> 00:38:39,390
Could it prove to be related
857
00:38:39,651 --> 00:38:41,860
To the medieval order
of the knights templar?
858
00:38:42,070 --> 00:38:43,895
-All right, guys.
-Laird: Hey, marty.
859
00:38:44,114 --> 00:38:46,314
-What have you found?
-Steve g.: Uh, we're dead center
860
00:38:46,533 --> 00:38:48,432
On where we project
the potential road to be.
861
00:38:48,577 --> 00:38:50,234
And it was nothing but cobble.
862
00:38:50,412 --> 00:38:52,253
Laird:
And it dips,
863
00:38:52,331 --> 00:38:54,997
Which led us to speculate,
864
00:38:55,083 --> 00:38:56,724
You know,
maybe it was a low area
865
00:38:56,918 --> 00:38:59,168
-That people filled in.
-Yeah, well, that makes sense.
866
00:38:59,254 --> 00:39:00,486
Scott:
I'd be curious
to see if there's any
867
00:39:00,630 --> 00:39:02,338
-Consistency in width.
-Yeah.
868
00:39:02,466 --> 00:39:04,248
Marty:
I'll tell you what
we're going to do then.
869
00:39:04,426 --> 00:39:06,191
How about I jump back in there?
870
00:39:06,193 --> 00:39:08,269
-Yeah.
-And, um, we'll-we'll try
and dig this
871
00:39:08,430 --> 00:39:10,329
A little bit and try and
find out where the edge is,
872
00:39:10,515 --> 00:39:12,574
-Which would be meaningful.
-Laird: Yeah.
873
00:39:12,642 --> 00:39:13,791
Okay. All right,
let's do that.
874
00:39:13,977 --> 00:39:15,943
You know, the stone road
is still
875
00:39:16,104 --> 00:39:17,512
A mystery
as to what its purpose was,
876
00:39:17,773 --> 00:39:21,257
And even when
it was constructed.
877
00:39:21,443 --> 00:39:24,268
Seeing any change,
or is it all the same?
878
00:39:24,446 --> 00:39:25,545
Steve g.:
Still lots of cobble.
879
00:39:25,614 --> 00:39:27,238
Marty:
So, my thought
880
00:39:27,491 --> 00:39:29,515
Is the same thought I always
have after a discovery.
881
00:39:29,618 --> 00:39:31,785
Keep going, find some more.
882
00:39:37,459 --> 00:39:40,502
Billy:
Just wait, marty.
Just for a sec.
883
00:39:42,172 --> 00:39:45,473
The edge of the road
is right, right here, right?
884
00:39:45,475 --> 00:39:46,549
Yup.
885
00:39:47,636 --> 00:39:49,176
That makes sense
based on the data
886
00:39:49,221 --> 00:39:50,327
That alex collected, so...
887
00:39:50,472 --> 00:39:52,638
Well, what's the plan here now?
888
00:39:52,724 --> 00:39:55,391
Laird:
The best way
to uncover a road is take
889
00:39:55,477 --> 00:39:57,118
That much
of the soil off, right?
890
00:39:57,229 --> 00:40:00,455
You'd have to do it by hand.
891
00:40:00,524 --> 00:40:02,131
-Yeah.
-Marty: Okay.
892
00:40:02,317 --> 00:40:06,611
I think we've seen enough
to make us investigate further.
893
00:40:06,822 --> 00:40:08,053
We're not finished with this.
894
00:40:08,240 --> 00:40:10,064
No. I think
there was a road here.
895
00:40:10,283 --> 00:40:12,784
Uh, whether it's ancient
or not, I don't know.
896
00:40:12,994 --> 00:40:15,244
What it was used for,
I don't know.
897
00:40:15,330 --> 00:40:18,256
-But we're aimed to find out.
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
898
00:40:18,375 --> 00:40:21,459
Marty: You have
to follow even minor clues.
899
00:40:21,670 --> 00:40:23,569
So, if we follow this road,
900
00:40:23,755 --> 00:40:27,181
We may find something
hitherto non-discovered.
901
00:40:27,300 --> 00:40:28,967
I'm gonna
drive this thing off.
902
00:40:29,219 --> 00:40:31,335
Why don't you guys go get set
for that next step?
903
00:40:31,471 --> 00:40:32,929
-Sure.
-Okay.
904
00:40:33,181 --> 00:40:35,748
-Marty: Thanks.
-Scott: See ya, marty.
905
00:40:35,892 --> 00:40:38,000
Narrator:
Even while another harsh,
906
00:40:38,186 --> 00:40:40,436
North atlantic winter
closes in,
907
00:40:40,522 --> 00:40:43,181
The trail of clues
that may soon help rick,
908
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,018
Marty and the team solve
a 227-year-old mystery
909
00:40:47,195 --> 00:40:50,763
Grows warmer by the day.
910
00:40:50,949 --> 00:40:53,157
Could the ancient
templar structures
911
00:40:53,243 --> 00:40:55,343
And the cryptic
masonic symbols
912
00:40:55,454 --> 00:40:58,613
Located halfway
across the globe
913
00:40:58,707 --> 00:41:02,667
Really be a testament to what
took place on oak island?
914
00:41:02,961 --> 00:41:07,538
Or what the team might unearth
from deep in the money pit?
915
00:41:07,799 --> 00:41:13,178
The answers may be closer
than ever before.
916
00:41:16,933 --> 00:41:19,658
Narrator: Next time on
the curse of oak island...
917
00:41:19,660 --> 00:41:22,412
-Today's the day, gary.
-Oh, yeah.
918
00:41:22,606 --> 00:41:24,905
Narrator:
It's the groundbreaking
season finale.
919
00:41:25,066 --> 00:41:27,859
-This is what we saw
in portugal.
-Mm-hmm.
920
00:41:28,069 --> 00:41:29,194
Yeah. It's incredible.
921
00:41:29,395 --> 00:41:30,587
-Wow.
-(laughs)
922
00:41:30,739 --> 00:41:32,163
Rick:
We can actually image
923
00:41:32,282 --> 00:41:35,049
The entire island underground
to find a target
924
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:36,584
-In the money pit.
-That's great!
925
00:41:36,745 --> 00:41:38,744
-Gary: We've hit
the tunnel, mate.
-Whoa!
926
00:41:38,788 --> 00:41:39,812
That tunnel will lead us
to the treasure.
927
00:41:40,015 --> 00:41:40,913
Yeah. There you go.
928
00:41:40,916 --> 00:41:42,432
Oh, look at that.
929
00:41:42,626 --> 00:41:44,742
-What have we got here?
-Oh, what the heck is that?
930
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,712
