I'm enjoying The Lost Treasure of the Knights Templar: Solving the Oak Island Mystery by Steven Sora.
A compelling argument that connects the lost treasure of the
Knights Templar to the mysterious money pit on Oak Island, Nova Scotia,
that has baffled treasure hunters for two centuries
•
Fascinating occult detective work linking the Cathars, the Scottish
Masons, and Renne-le-Chateau to the elusive treasure pit on Oak Island
•
Draws on new evidence recently unearthed in Italy, France, and Scotland
to provide a compelling solution to one of the world's most enduring
mysteries
When the Order of Knights Templar was ruthlessly
dissolved in 1307 by King Philip the Fair of France it possessed immense
wealth and political power, yet none of the treasure the Templars
amassed has ever been found. Their treasure is rumored to contain
artifacts of spiritual significance retrieved by the order during the
Crusades, including the genealogies of David and Jesus and documents
that trace these bloodlines into the royal bloodlines of Merovingian
France.
Placing a Scottish presence in the New World a century
before Columbus, Steven Sora paints a credible scenario that the
Sinclair clan of Scotland transported the wealth of the
Templars--entrusted to them as the Masonic heirs of the order--to a
remote island off the shores of present-day Nova Scotia. The mysterious
money pit there is commonly believed to have been built before 1497 and
has guarded its secret contents tenaciously despite two centuries of
determined efforts to unearth it. All of these efforts (one even
financed by American president Franklin Delano Roosevelt) have failed,
thanks to an elaborate system of booby traps, false beaches, hidden
drains, and other hazards of remarkable ingenuity and technological
complexity.
