Okay.

Well, that was a big question, and it's hard to answer that simply.

But I think the best way to start is to say, yes, there was a treasure that originally was put on Oak Island.

It was done by the Knights Templar as part of a bigger mission, a bigger plan, if you will.

Actually, I use the phrase that Templars would never put all their eggs in one basket.

Nobody would put all their eggs in one basket.

I think when you watch the show, you sort of get that idea that this is the treasure.

The truth is there were, that we know of, about 30 treasures that were buried in multiple locations, including Oak Island, beginning in 1395, again in 1398, when Earl Henry Sinclair—

brought over the Templar treasure, if you will, that was hidden in Scotland after the Templars were put down and disappeared into history on October 13th of 1307.

So the story is much bigger than Oak Island, but Oak Island definitely played a role in this story.

It was treasured there for a number of years, about 400 years.

And then in 1769,

It was recovered along with other treasures, those other treasures that I mentioned.

And, you know, that gets into a question we might want to talk about later is what is the treasure?

I mean, treasure is different things to different people.

And most people, when they think of the Oak Island treasure or Templar treasure, they think of gold and silver and jewels.

And that certainly was part of it.

But if you asked a Templar what the treasure was, they wouldn't focus on those items.

But those items were very important because in the end, when those treasures were recovered, the gold and the silver, the wealth, if you will, the money, was used to help fund the revolution.

Actually, that revolution was the completion of a much longer, more important mission that the Templars were pursuing and successfully completed that was called the Covenant.
