<p>More than two centuries ago, compelling evidence of buried treasure was found on Nova Scotia’s Oak Island. Since then, extensive engineering works have been discovered and mysterious objects unearthed in and around the island’s \u00ab\u00a0Money Pit.\u00a0\u00bb The ongoing search has been featured on a long-running popular television series, but to this day, the island guards its secrets.<br \/>
\n <br \/>
\nIn this book, historian John Bell presents all the competing theories \u2014 about who buried treasure on the island and how the complex structures in the Money Pit that have kept treasure hunters at bay were created.<br \/>
\n <br \/>
\nIs the island the former settlement of pre-Columbian Vikings? The location of a lost pirate treasure or royal treasures from England? The hiding spot for rogue captains of Spanish treasure ships? John Bell presents each theory in turn.<br \/>
\n <br \/>
\nBell also provides a detailed illustration of the mysterious work that was done on the island prior to the discovery of the Money Pit in 1795. The illustration shows each element of the Pit’s design as it was first built \u2014 including elaborate flood tunnels, a cave-in shaft, and more.<br \/>
