First discovered by a teenager in 1795, the mysterious “money pit” of Oak Island, N.S., has stymied treasure hunters for decades.
Modern engineering has failed to crack the mystery of various layers of logs and metals, mysterious inscriptions on stones, and booby traps that have either flooded the pit or caused it to collapse inward.
Who's responsible? Guesses range from the Freemasons and the Knights Templar to the Vikings, or British or French explorers.
What's inside? Theories abound, including pirates’ booty, the royal jewels of France, the treasures of King Solomon's temple, and the Holy Grail.
