Hi everyone-
Oak Island in nova Scotia is home home to one of the most enduring mysteries in the world. For over 200 years people have been trying not only to figure out what the "money pit" is but also who made it, what (if anything) is concealed there and: most importantly: trying to find the entrance to the secret chamber that might contain priceless materials or something of cultural importance.
Our website, http://www.mythandmystery.com/ has been dedicated for years to listing the world's most puzzling myths, mysteries and ancient history. We welcome Oak Island and the newest volunteer hoping to solve the mystery, Keith Ranville.
Keith Ranville, a Cree First Nations researcher announced his challenge of Leitchi’s original stone tablet or "flagstone" translation stating… “Birch Island holds the secret to the meaning of the construction on Oak Island. According to the Lunenburg Progress Enterprise, Ranville claims that Leitchi’s method to break the code was flawed, citing that his translation using the First Nations tradition, sees the codex as individual abstract symbols that were never intended to be translated into a single message. Using Ranville’s method to decipher the code, which reads more like a map, Oak Island is directly linked to its sister island, nearby Birch Island by underwater man-made shafts.
He cites the repeated use of the triangle from the original inscription and points to the large triangle that he discovered on Birch Island which is only visible from the air. The triangle on the 16-acre Birch Island takes up much of the Island which Ranville believes is also the ancient burial grounds for those who were involved with the complex construction found on Oak Island. Ranville’s work offers a completely different approach to solving the Oak Island mystery. Traveling across Canada Ranville has presented his findings to a number of scholars and groups many of whom have supported his work in principal. He has been interviewed on radio programs and his currently looking for funding to help pursue his research further. Those supporting Ranville’s research include mining engineer, Steve Zou, P.Eng.,PH.D, the Bear River First Nation of Nova Scotia, the Sault Ste. Marie Museum and to learn more you can log on to Ranville’s web site at: http://www.mythandmystery.com/oakisland/
