Oak Island
Oak Island is a island in Lunenburg County on the south shore of Nova Scotia, Canada. The tree-covered island is one of about 360 small islands in Mahone Bay and rises to a maximum of above sea level. Located from shore and connected to the mainland by a modern causeway. The privately owned and gated island is the subject of the History Channel reality TV series ''The Curse of Oak Island''.
The island is best known as the site of various mysterious theories about possible buried treasure or historical artifacts, and the resulting centuries of ongoing exploration and expensive digs.
== The Oak Island mystery ==
For more than two centuries treasure hunters, archeologists, engineers, and explorers have been trying to solve the mystery of what might be buried or concealed through extraordinary means on Oak Island. Hundreds of publications, books, documentaries, and programs have featured the island, and it is the subject of the History Channel television series titled ''The Curse of Oak Island''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=%22oak+island%22 )〕 The show takes its name from the local legend that Canadian folklorist Helen Creighton included in her book ''Folklore of Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia'' about how seven people must die before the treasure will be found.
Theories of what could be buried range from pirate gold, Spanish treasure, Knights Templar treasure, a Rosicrucian vault, King Solomon's temple treasure, the Ark of the Covenant, ancient Egyptian tomb, or the lost Shakespeare manuscripts. Areas of interest on the island include the shaft known as the ''Money Pit'', a newly discovered underground cavern at the bottom of "Borehole 10X", a formation of boulders called "Nolan's Cross", the beach at "Smith's Cove", and the triangle shaped "Swamp".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=For Sale: Island with Mysterious Money Pit )〕 Throughout the island people have found artifacts such as old coins, discovered flood shafts, and recorded strange glyphs on rocks. Repeated excavations have even reported layers of apparently human-made artifacts as deep as , which ended in collapsed excavations and flooding. Critics argue that there is no treasure and that the "Money Pit" is a natural phenomenon, likely a sinkhole.〔
