Answer 1

entirely possible that it doesnt exist. especially if Dan Brown mentions it in the da vinci code....

Answer 2

No, it has not been found. At least, no one has ever admitted to finding it.

People have been looking for the treasure since the Knights Templar were wiped out in 1307.

The value of the treasure is uncertain, but some estimates put its value in the billions of dollars including gold, silver, and precious stones. There are also supposed to be ancient documents inluded in that stash that are priceless, but I don't want to get all "Davinci Code" on you.

Archaeologists do not know that the treasure is on Oak Island, though there is a book or two claiming that is its present resting place. Of course, before that it was simply listed as a treasure buried by pirates (Captain Kidd?). The Knights Templar story is thinnest part of the entire Oak Island treasure story.

Answer 3

A small island off the fog-shrouded coast of Nova Scotia may conceal the world's greatest treasure, that of the order of the Knights Templar. Missing since the fourteenth century, the treasure of the Templars is reputed to contain massive amounts of gold and silver bullion, the crown jewels of royal European families, religious artifacts sacred to both Judaism and Christianity and documents that may be as explosive now as when they were buried. The current owner of what has been dubbed "the Money Pit" estimates the value of the potential treasure to be over one billion dollars.
The history of the Oak Island excavation begins in 1795 when three young men with time on their hands decided to search for Captain Kidd's booty. On tiny Oak Island they found a ship's tackle hanging from a tree branch and a nearby depression in the soil. After digging two feet down they reached a level of carefully laid flagstones, not normally found on the island. They dug further and at ten feet reached an oaken platform. Successive platforms were found at twenty and thirty feet, encouraging the diggers but surpassing their abilities. Several years later a company, the Onslow Syndicate, was formed by several prominent citizens to explore further. The oak platforms continued until at the 90-foot level an inscribed stone with a simple code revealed that treasure would be found only "forty feet below". The code may have been a false clue leading them into a booby trap. The shaft was soon filled with seawater that would not only stop further excavation; it would remain an unbeatable obstacle for the next two centuries.

Answer 4

Most of their treasures were confiscated by the King of France, and that was his motive in persecuting them. Some of the treasures were supposedly lost, but that is uncertain. People tell may tales of lost treasures that are pure fantasy. Nobody knows if anything is on Oak island. I have seen accounts of it for years, even in magazines published before I was born. some people spent their lives seeking treasure there, but no one has found a penny. Any early idea was that captain kidd buried treasure there, but modern scholars doubt it. no one can say for certain what might be there...if anything at all is. If something once was, it might have been removed by the time two boys dug the first hole there.

Answer 5

Arthurian legend is the fictional origin of England. The Knights Templar lost the Holy Land to Saladinmof Egypt in a series of battles, and were burned on crosses by the pope. A contemporary equivalent of the Knights Templar is the Halliburton corporation. A contemporary equivalent of the Knights of Malta, (Knights Hospitaller), is the Blackwater security agency.

Answer 6

depends upon what type of treasure one is referring to. there is the wealth which is reported to be the Knight's Templar treasure but this is totally untrue. you must understand there is a huge difference between wealth and treasure. take it from one who knows.

Suggest everyone disregard what Dan Brown states.
