Eh, I’m not a fan of “fictional history”….otherwise known as bull$#!+. If it’s a fictional story, don’t try to make it “seem real”, or “could have happened”. Like some of the freaking BS shows that air on “The History Channel”….really?……space aliens, cryptids, etc. These types of shows do not belong on “The History Channel”. Freaking Snake Oil Salesmen, and people “buy it”😖.
@Zouave1864 I don’t know, sounds like BS to me, I’m gonna have to “throw the flag” on that one🙂 I heard it was ancient aliens, but why was Bigfoot in the desert😬
@RockyMountainBriar a coworker of mine is obsessed with the oak island show. He tells me that templars, or pirates, or Templar pirates or vikings, or very likely Templar pirate vikings hid the lost arc of the covenant there. I have to hold back the eye rolls as he tells me all about it.
@RockyMountainBriar You guys are all missing the point of Oak Island. 1. It is mindless entertainment. 2. The more they stretch it out, the more money they make. Hence the number of times they repeat themselves each episode. If they only said or showed things once, each episode with only be 15 minutes long and they would make 75% less money. 3. They will never "s••• or get off the pot" until the ratings drop to where it is no longer profitable for the owners (Owners: The Walt Disney Company, NBCUniversal, Hearst Corporation, Disney Entertainment, Hearst Communications) Note: Disney is mentioned twice in the list of owners. 4. There has never been any verifiable scientific or historical proof that the Templars ever crossed the ocean. Don't mean they didn't there is just no proof. Also, this is nothing more than either a search for pirate treasure or an elaborate hoax to make money.
And, 5. It is better than any of the other mindless drivel purported to be entertainment on television.
My main problem with the show is that they are not using currently available technology to find the answers. For example, last season's "attempt" to put a working shaft down to where they thought the tunnel would be. I believe there are a number of mining engineers who could have solved the problems. The same with drilling hundreds of test holes seeking to find underground structures. The technology does exists to pinpoint where to drill. Just ask a few oil and gas companies how they detect voids thousands of feet down.
@PappyJoe Nope, not missing the point, the constant repeats and rehashes really piss me off. I know it’s all for the money. I’m just hoping they actually make a truly historic discovery, whatever it may be.
@PappyJoe; @RockyMountainBriar; It was all constructed by ancient aliens and the Nazis to hide the the fact that they were here and have superior technology compared to ours. Either that, or it is all a communist plot to distract us from the reality that Elvis is still alive and resides in Sweden.
“When we think how universally the Pipe has affected modern thought, in art, science, literature, politics, and even the pulpit how it has contributed to the best wit of our time; how it has given relief and solace to overworked brains; how it has drawn men together everywhere in many a jovial social smoke, and added comfort to countless chimney corners, the importance of supplying as perfect a Pipe as possible is at once recognized.” —Charles Peterson, Preface to the 1896 Kapp & Peterson Catalog

I really hope they actually figure out what went down on Oak Island.
As many seasons and as much money as they have spent looking for ???, I just wish they would s*** or get off the pot.

Dammit! I knew it was the Nazis.
You got that right, Brother.
He forgot the sexually confused, perverts and pediphiles.
in art, science, literature, politics, and even the pulpit
how it has contributed to the best wit of our time;
how it has given relief and solace to overworked brains;
how it has drawn men together everywhere in many a jovial social smoke,
and added comfort to countless chimney corners,
the importance of supplying as perfect a Pipe as possible
is at once recognized.”
