Oak Island - Discussion

[TrithFPV]

I was always told, "If you don't have anything nice to say."

But also told, "when in Rome."

So gonna do the geology thing.

I think people are looking at a naturally formed vertical limestone cave or sinkhole. The bedrock of oak Island was formed hundreds of millions of years ago and the part of the island in question has VERY HEAVY deposits of limestone of gypsum. This is vertical cave and sinkhole prone. Which are actually formed slightly different.

Nova Scotia is pretty much Swiss cheese of undiscovered "money pits," and sedimentary formations called polystrate (upright) fossils, which new earth theorists love to try to use for creationist arguments without realizing their evidence is 300 million years old.

And by Money Pit I mean The History Channel is throwing money into a cave or sinkhole, but takes in more revenue than it costs to make a 12 season show about a likely figment of lore.

Why not just go try to The Superstition Mountains, which are volcanic in origin, and search for The Lost Dutchman Gold if you want to waste everyone's time on something debunked by dry boring science.

In fact, I think they do a show on that, and gave up relatively quickly.

Like they could've hired an undergrad student to say, "Well, The Superstitions were formed from a volcanic arc that existed 20 million years go, and the process which creates veins of gold deposits are not possible in Igneous formations as stated. Only trace amounts carried my magma can exist."

Same thing in the money Pit. Both have premises blown open at their foundation by the geology of the area. And there is a much more mundane reason for the vertical shaft. It's certainly close enough to water.

Worth noting is Oak Island is really new (sorta of). The silt and clay on top of the Mississippian and Ordovician deposits of limestone and gypsum are post Younger Dryas. While the bedrock is millions of years old the earth and clay was deposited at the end of the last ice age.

Just so much wrong, and I can't watch those excavation shows without loudly asking, "Would you people use a real fucking geologist occasionally?"

But it's enthralling if they don't get much into the science part of it.

Is it possible this was intricately created by people way back when, but more likely just some collapsed cave or sinkhole with a nice story attached.

The last 2 seasons have little to do with the actual money pit. They've uncovered a stone harbor in the swamp after they drained it and pulled out parts of a ship which dated back into the 1500s or older. They also recently aquired Lot 5. It was the one lot they didn't have access to until 2 seasons ago. There they found a man made well with datable material in the bottom which dates back 700 years. I do agree with the limestone caverns that they are boring into. I thought that as well. But the surface finds they are coming across now are incredible.

note: I find it more interesting that peoples were potentially there at the island far earlier than recorded.
