The Money Pit Of Oak Island

[Peyrol]

I've heard of Oak Island first time in a popular 2003 dance/techno song

It's definitely not Norse or any type of Runes. In fact, it looks like an alphabetic substitution cypher with geometric shapes.

Actually looks like the writing system of the local Amerindians, Mi'kmaq, to me. It wouldn't be far-fetched to say that the pirates who buried the treasure learned how to read and write Mi'kmaq.

BTW, locals don't go to Oak Island. We have superstitions about it, and people report seeing strange lights coming from the place. There are a few islands like this in Nova Scotia, where people don't venture. Older people because of superstition, but now the government regulations designating them as safe zones for wildlife (likely born out of these superstitions) keep people off.

Most often, they have imposing names like "Dead Man's Island" or "Skull Island", and stories about mass death and suffering circulate about them. The one closest to were I grew up, the story about why to avoid it was because it was haunted by the souls buried in a mass grave after one Indian tribe completely wiped out another long before Europeans arrived.

It's mostly only tourists who venture there.

I personally don't believe there is treasure there. There may have been at one time, but it's probably long gone by now.

Why would you say that it is gone?

It says:

f*orty feet below two million pounds are buried

F*ORTY FEET BELOW TWO
MILLION POUNDS ARE BURIED

I'm surprised no one has commented on this yet. Does anyone dispute the plain text?

The sea would have destroyed it or swept it away by now.

Erosion in NS is really bad.
