In 1795 three boys discovered the top of an ancient shaft on
uninhabited Oak Island in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia. The boys began
to dig, and what they uncovered started the world's greatest and
strangest treasure hunt but nobody knows what the treasure is. Two
hundred years of courage, back-breaking effort, ingenuity, and
engineering skills have failed to retrieve what is concealed
there.
Theories of what the treasure could be include Captain Kidd's
bloodstained pirate gold, an army payroll left by the French or
British military engineers, priceless ancient manuscripts, the body
of an Arif or other religious refugee leader, or the lost treasure
of the Templars. The Oak Island curse prophesies that the treasure
will not be found until seven men are dead and the last oak has
fallen. That last oak has already gone, and six treasure hunters
have been killed.
After years of research, the authors have finally solved the
sinister riddle of Oak Island, but their answer is challenging,
controversial, and disturbing. Something beyond price still lies
waiting in the labyrinth.
