Secrets of Oak Island, Nova Scotia: The Stone Treasure Map Wittol-1642
On Oak Island, there is a giant Latin cross that is laid out across the surface of the island. There are five large stone boulders that were used to create the shape of the cross. At the center of the cross, there is a stone that is chiseled into the shape of the image of Jesus Christ’s head. The stone is also a treasure map.
In 2004 I had a Rolling Stone Magazine issue with an article about Oak Island in it called The Curse of Oakland Island. The article was about the 200+ year history of the treasure hunts on the island. On page 56 of the article was the picture of the stone map (it was called a Skull Stone in the article, and there was no mention of it being a map). I wanted an extra copy of the article so I sent it to a pen pal friend I had at the time to have It copied. She used her business office's high-quality copier and for some reason for which I honestly cannot recall why she printed the copy in black and white. When I received the original color print of the article along with the copy I noticed the faint word “Wittol” and the year “1642” chiseled on the stone in the black and white copy. When I examined the original color article picture of the stone the word Wittol and 1642 could not be seen. Somehow her high-quality copier enhanced the color picture of the stone when it was copied in black and white and the word and date appeared. That is how I know both Wittol and 1642 are chiseled on the stone. True story!
The year 1642 is chiseled on the stone map. That is the year the monks arrived on Oak Island, made the giant Latin cross and the stone map, and buried their treasure on the Island.
The word Wittol is chiseled on the stone map. It is an English word that was used in the Middle Ages (AD 476-1453). Apparently, the monks on the islands were still using the word in 1642. We use archaic words today. According to my dictionary, the word means 1.) A man who knows of and tolerates his wife’s infidelity”. The word comes from another old English word Weten-to-know. It is also related to the word Witan- “to know” (ME<OE) and Wit-“ the natural ability to perceive and understand intelligence.” My A.H.C dictionary has only one definition above but I believe that the monks used the word because to them it meant “Knowledge, understanding, to know”, not a man who knows and tolerates his wife's infidelity. The stone is in the shape of Christ’s head; they would not chisel the word on Christ’s stone head and accuse Christ of tolerating his wife’s infidelity, he was not married!
The monks chiseled the word Wittol into the stone map that is also the image of Jesus Christ’s head to say to us that whatever is buried at the location that the notch on the stone map reveals contains knowledge about Christ, or relates to Christ and Christianity. And whoever has figured out the stone is a map and how to use it has knowledge, and understanding. The word Wittol was chiseled into the stone to give us a hint or clue as to what it truly is. I solved the clue.
Something supernatural seems to be going on here because after the stone revealed to me the word and date in the black and white photo I discovered through my research what the word Wittol truly meant (to know knowledge), the stone was a map, it’s image of Jesus Christ’s head and I learned how to reveal the hidden messages in the Latin cross and it’s dimensions. The Latin cross the stone was found at the center of! It is as if the stone chose me to reveal the secrets of Oak Island.
If you want to see the exact locations on the stone map the word Wittol and 1642 are chiseled, and the chiseled notch gives the location of the treasure go to my art section and look at my work “Oak Island, Nova Scotia, Canada Treasure Map.” You cannot see the word and date in that copy of the map in my work because it is a third-generation copy from a cheap copier.
Correction: I said in my last blog entry the “Secrets of Oak Island, Nova Scotia” ``The Treasure Map” that the Curse of Oak Island TV series is currently in its 13th season. I was wrong. The series just ended its 9th season. Minor error.
The stone map can be found in Rolling Stone Magazine, January 22nd, 2004, issue #940, page 56. The Curse of Oak Island by Randall Sullivan. I am using the American Heritage College dictionary for this writing.
Chisel- A metal tool with a sharp beveled edge used to cut and shape stone, wood, or metal. The chisel used on the stone was made of iron. From what I have seen on TV pieces of iron tools have been found on the island.
The Secrets of Oak Island: The Treasure Pit Part 1
In 1765 Oak Island was divided into thirty-two four-acre lots by Charles Morris, surveyor general of the Nova Scotia province. His map with the numbered divided lots is available on the web. You need to print out and reference it while you read the following: We will know very soon who the monks are, where they came from, and what treasure they buried on the island. Towards the end of season 9 ( May 2022) of the history channel's TV series The Curse of Oak Island, the treasure hunters found what they call an indention in the ground in Lot #8 while they were metal detecting. The indention is big, and it is in the area that the stone map indicates is the location of a buried treasure. The indention is about 50-75 feet due west from my white X that is on the satellite image of the island in my art section. My white X is in Lot #9. The stone maps can be hand read, and for my X to be that close to the actual treasure site working with limited resources from a death row cell, that is really impressive.
The treasure hunters used a ground penetrating radar device over the indention and they found two anomalies, one at five feet below the surface and the other one below the first anomaly at 20 feet. The hunters started digging below the surface of the indention but had to stop and apply for a permit to dig deeper from the Nova Scotia government. The season ended before the permit was given. We will know in season 10 of The Curse of Oak Island what is buried there, or by the media when the treasure is discovered. Before season 10 of the series starts I will reveal to you what I think is buried below the surface of the indentation at each anomaly in part 2 of this writing. The stone map is the image of Jesus Christ’s head so you know it is going to be a priceless treasure!
You, the readers of this blog are the only ones to have the inside scoop as to what and how important the indention is. The treasure hunters on the island do not know that the indention is the location of the treasure because they don’t know about the stone map.
From now on I am calling the indention the "Treasure Pit". The name Treasure Pit sounds way cooler than indention.
