The Curse of Oak Island

The thing that began gnawing at me a few seasons ago is... just how freaking advanced were the supposed people secretly storing a supposed artifact there way back in the days of the Templars?

I've come to think that some of these 'trap door/flooded tunnel' type things they keep encountering, are just natural geological features of the island itself

All of the modern technology in the world cant seem to bust through all of the little traps built in by people who fought with swords and thought draining blood from from sick people was medicine

I just have a very hard time seeing anything truly revolutionary being down there... not to be a smartass in ANY way at all, but its starting to sound like it was an ancient sinkhole where ancient explorers dumped their dead bodies and various junk

Granted, there have been a few features that seem to put the lie to my take... but I've just reached the limits of my imagination on what a few ships worth of explorers were able to accomplish given the tools they had at hand, and whats known of the technological prowess of that time

That's probably the case. Especially considering Oak Island, surrounding islands, and even parts of the mainland supposedly have a ton of sinkholes and cavernous landscapes. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the bones and other stuff they've found washed into the underground from the sea.

Then again...maybe not.

I read/heard that finding spikes such as the ones they've been finding are very common, and commonly wash up on shores since the ocean is littered with old ships. So just because they found a spike on Oak Island doesn't mean it originated on Oak Island.

I'd imagine their "trap doors" and voids, just naturally occurring.

Regardless...still watching it.

Surprised no one has mentioned the ship logs that, iirc, specifically state the (french?) buried treasure in the surrounding bay area.
