Oak Island Update! – Cree Code Breaker Challenges 140-Year Old Cipher

MAHONE BAY, Nova Scotia –The enigma of Oak Island has been called one of the greatest archaeological and engineering achievements of mankind. Often referred to as Canada’s best known unsolved mystery, Oak Island proudly boasts it’s title for hosting the site of the World’s longest treasure hunt in recorded history. Now in its 212th year this 10 million dollar project that has selfishly taken the lives of six young men is no closer to being solved than it was in 1795 when three teen boys discovered a shaft here and began digging for what they believed to be pirate treasure! The boys excavated down to the 30 foot mark, exhausted and unable to continue they realized the dig would be a much larger effort then they first imagined. What the boys found as they dug convinced all three that they had indeed discovered a man-made vertical shaft of sound engineering. Their only conclusion was that it had been built to hide an enormous treasure. Knowing that a proper excavation required equipment, animals and manpower the boys set out to find investment capital. It took years but they did find an investor with whom they became the founders of the Onslow Company, the first of many treasure recovery companies that would come and go on Oak Island. To date the cost of this intoxicating treasure hunt has far exceeded ten million dollars and consigned six sturdy treasure hunters to an early grave.

Now for the first time since the 1860’s one man has come forward to challenge the translation of a cryptic message found etched into a stone that was discovered at the 90-foot mark in the original shaft in 1803 by the Onslow Company. The stone vanished about 1900 and no known image or text was preserved showing the cryptic message. However a Mahone Bay school teacher in 1909 claimed to have copied the two line, forty-character coded text directly from the stone hoping that he could break the code himself. He provided the only image of the codex known to exist stating the code was a simple letter-for-cipher that was accurately translated by Professor James Leitchi, a professor of languages at Dalhouse University in 1860’s. Leitchi’s translation reads… “Forty feet below two million pounds are buried.” Although Leitchi’s translation has never been directly challenged it has always been suspicious since a business relationship is known to have existed between Leitchi and the Oak Island Association, the 1860’s recovery company.

Recently Keith Ranville, a Cree First Nations researcher announced his challenge of Leitchi’s 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://kr.mendhak.com

Oak Island Decipherment news
Recently I have been disclosing Oak Island research information from my personal across Canada expedition. The Oak Island stone triangle was always thought to me to be the key to solving this treasure mystery, the triangles dividing stone line through the off center Oak Island stone triangle was direction north/south, my decipherment of this mysterious triangle was based on 19.5 degrees north to west from the bottom of the stone line at the circular bottom of this stone triangle, the usage of a square and compass help me decipher this Oak Island famous stone triangle puzzle even though my work is under rated but I am sure in the long run my work will be appreciated because I know am on to something grand.

The mystic designers of this Oak Island set up, purposely left this stone triangle un-finished as a message for reasons of lessons to be learned this Oak Island mystery is far to complex for the comprehension of it's meaning to be learn of it’s going on’s to be explain straight out for the reason's because of it's design, this set-up is a very in genius work of genius. Understanding this Oak Island mystery has been quite the task and one heck of a adventure, this stone triangle was missing one equation and that was 19.5 give or take because the triangle was aligned with stones so accuracy varied never the less I began at 19.5 and I believe it has some significance to the triangle pyramid theory I developed. The stone triangle that was thought to be aligned north/south it's really aligned 19.5 north/west according to my decipherment of the stone triangle.




Oak Island stone triangle is a treasure map
Tilt the Oak Island stone triangle 7 degrees from it's center to the stone triangle dividing stone and then you get about seven degrees east/south to the Birch Island triangle' everything is connected in the dynamics of logic.

Conspiracies
19.5 degrees has been associated with many world mysteries, could Oak Island hold the answer to these unsolved mysteries, the planets in our solar system have significant energy anomaly spots in the area of 19.5 degrees even here on earth certain areas around 19.5 degrees are somewhat dormant/active volcanic area’s, it is also believed the Mars Pathfinder landed at 19.5 degrees latitude on Mars on July 4,'1997.

The jury is still out weather there is formations on mars at 19.5 degrees or not but I am open to all possibilities when it comes to mysteries because I am investigating a mystery but I am keeping things down to earth for now because this is where the answers are. This 19.5 degrees seems to be a energy area point around the world and to some planets in our solar system, the makers of this well documented Oak Island stone triangle may have very well have known the secrets to these planetary energy anomalies, this Oak Island mystery is much bigger than a physical treasure it’s more like a treasure tree of knowledge my quest to solve this mystery is branching out towards the true nature of what this mystery is all about.

Sincere thanks
