Borehole 10-x is a borehole drilled into Oak Island, a small island off the shore of Nova Scotia, Canada. The borehole was started in the summer of 1970 and is approximately northeast of the so-called Money Pit, a site of numerous excavations to recover treasure believed by many to be buried there.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=For Sale: Island with Mysterious Money Pit )〕 The Bowmaster Drilling Company working for the Triton Alliance, initially used a rotary drill to drill to a final depth of . During the drilling, Bowmaster encountered hard glacial till at and bedrock at , but they also encountered three deep cavities at depths of , and . The borehole was then lined with steel casing. As well as some loose material brought up from the hole, two handfuls of metal and a wire measuring were retrieved. The metal was soft and the color of lead, and quickly began to oxidize, apparently because it hadn't been exposed to the air for many years. Analysis by metallurgists from Stelco indicated the metal was a low carbon steel similar to that produced in Sweden prior to 1750. In August 1971, a camera was lowered into the borehole. The rather murky photographs revealed what are claimed to be treasure chests and a human hand. The theories of German pseudoscientist brothers Johannes and Peter Fiebag, propose that the metal and wire fragments could be part the Manna Machine, which they claim was buried on the island by the Knights Templar in 1398, along with the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail. == References == *The amazing true story of the Big Dig: the $10 million search for Oak Island's legendary treasure ISBN 0-345-35558-X *The Holy Grail: Chalice or manna machine? by Dr. Johannes Fiebag and Peter Fiebag 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Borehole 10-x」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
