Mayan ruins on Oak Island' well that was a planned objective of a mysterious culture that visited Oak Island according to recent research on a ancient layout plan found south of the money pit. One of Oak Island's most mystifying clue that was documented before it was destroyed was a stone triangle; many researchers failed to find a solution to it's meaning, but I believe I deciphered it's locked secret in concept.
The Oak Island stone triangle points north with a dividing stone line through it' directional straight up to the money pit. For some reason the stone triangle also pointed seven degrees west of the money pit, I believe this seven degrees off was because the stone triangle could line up with the two drilled stones at a right angle' the drilled stones were found north and north east of the money pit.
The Money pit was not intended for pirate buried treasure it was mean't to be a ancient burial site, eventually there would of being something of value put there' but as of now treasure hunter's have being digging a empty grave? The tomb is sitting in the Birch Island triangle with the king's belongings, The king's treasure tomb and his multi servants for his after life' was mean't to be in tombed 90 feet down in the Money pit where the inscribed stone was found, the stone was given instructions for a memorial structure to be built on the surface of the Money pit.
First Nations In 1970 a 400 foot long dam was built around Oak Island’s Smiths Cove, an original dam was inside the 1970’s dam. The original mysterious excavators of the Money pit built the original dam where evidence of this ancient dam was found during the construction of the 1850's clay and stone dam. The meaning of the dams was to prevent water from seeping into the money pit while it was under construction/excavations. Evidence found in Smiths Cove determines there was underwater construction constructed there at one time or another, some un-known experts believe that this was a ancient wharf but this was a in-conclusive investigation.
Geocities Referance Map
If the Smiths cove dam was to stop water from leaking inland into the flood tunnels beneath Oak Island, then there must be a similar shaft tunnel in the Birch Island triangle, in the inscriptions on the money pit stone found at the 90-foot level distinctly point to the right angle of a triangle. The Birch Island triangles right angle has a similar artificial beach as to the Smiths Cove Beach area; if these two-beach areas are built by the same original builders then they were built for the same purposes. There is visual evidence that shows that there was an ancient flood dam built around the right angle of the Birch Island triangle.
(CBC Television The Oak Island Money pit: And how it works)
The Oak Island Money pit was meant to only go down to 100 feet only, the inscriptions on the tablet that was found at the 90-foot level’ was engineering instructions. The triangle symbols on the Money pit inscriptions represented the Birch Island triangle.
My research is easily explained in diagrams; I usually visualize ideas before I wright them down this makes it easy to be understood. Treasure hunting is not easy, but with hard work you can make things happen for you. I myself worked very hard at this Oak Island treasure mystery it puzzles me why no one in the past and present was able to excel like me. They spent millions on this Money pit with no results; the theory that I developed didn’t even cost a fraction of what was spent on the Money pit? Sure it cost a lot of personal time and a lot of legwork and hardship but nowhere near the cost of the excavation of the money pit. I am just glad it took a Canadian to make sense of a Canadian mystery.

INVESTIGATION The secrets are unravelling with this Oak Island treasure mystery it is evident that this mystery is about triangles and right angles. Right angle square and compass are the basic tools of the Great builders of ancient structures and the Freemasons used these instruments in their rituals basically these tools were instrumental for me in creating this Oak Island triangle theory.
Oak Island information will soon solve this mystery but Birch Island holds the secrets to this incredible treasure mystery. These mysterious symbols and many more secrets I behold about this famous treasure mystery will eventually solve this enigma.
WELL DOCUMENTED OAK ISLAND STONE TRIANGLE Blue Print Up-Date LOGICAL EXPLANATION
INTERPRETATION The Oak Island stone triangle found south of the money pit was miss-interpreted, it was believed to be pointing north. This stone triangle and its northern point is center of a pyramid diagram and aligns in a different direction other than the dividing south/north stone line through the stone triangle. This stone triangle is a blue print for a much grander structure made by the original builders of this Oak Island set up, these are all concept clues from my across Canada travel journals exclusive for friendly viewers only. ***RIGHT ANGLES, INVERTED TRIANGLES***
FAMOUS BIRCH ISLAND TREASURE TRIANGLE
REVELATION Birch Island as seen from above it has a symbolic triangle carved into its landscape. By describing the beach area on the north side of this triangle there seems to be some work activity done to it in the past to the beach area it is discoloured from the rest of the contours of Birch Islands beach areas. The water depth is unusually deep at the right angle of the triangle beach area it's obvious that this is a artificial Beach just by a visual observation.
MY CIPHERS The Oak Island symbols that has triangles co-relates to the well documented Oak Island stone triangle, finally the newly discovered Birch Island triangle seems to be a viable connection to Oak Island with this triangle theory of mine. The evidence supports the claim that the Oak Island treasure is in the Birch Island's triangle. The Oak Island stone triangle is the blue print of the Birch Island triangle the famous triangle that I discovered that is recieving attention world wide.
Update The Money pit May have been a early construction site of a Mayan ancient ruin, Mayan's made there tombs beneath ancient ruins before construction of ruins in South America. The Money pit construction may have came to a abrupt halt due to the Spanish invasion of south America and civil wars amongst the Mayan themselves. For one' the the Oak Island stone triangle was a ancient alignment blue print of a to be ancient Mayan ruin that was planned to be built on Oak Island above the money pit. The Money pit inscriptive stone was more than likely carry on construction for the Money pit construction and for the whereabouts of the location of a mysterious ancient tomb, the Money pit translations and other Oak Island evidence points to the Birch Island triangle as the burial site of the ancient builders artifacts. The Oak Island triangle theory is the answer to Oak Island. Supporting evidence; triangle's on the Money pit stone, Oak Island stone triangle and ultimately the Birch Island Triangle.
First Nations The Oak island stone triangle does seems like it was made by a Mayan Culture or (Mesoamerica) by examining the oak island stone triangle and its cipher to a pyramid it perceives stealth in length if you view the pyramids in south America they are very similar to the Oak island stone triangle cipher of a pyramid. The Mayan Mathematics were above equivalent to many cultures. A king was found beneath in a pyramid in South America he had a jade mask, this King is believed to be a important part to (arm chair) archaeologist, but no real treasure was found in the pyramid tomb. I believe that this king had knowledge that was in his hands? What this King had was a round stone in one hand and a square block stone in the other hand and the jade mask was for his unvailment of him in his new life. I believe these possessions was all this Mayan King needed to travel into his next life to where his worldly possessions are awaiting for him.
The Oak Island stone triangle cipher is based on square and circle could this method of cipher' be the same as this Mayan Kings knowledge that he had in hand to travel into his next life. The new simplistic translation of the Oak Island stone triangle does have the same square and circle philosophy. The Mayan Mathematics is thought to be based on proportions or a universal unfounded equation, the Oak Island stone triangle looks to have a Mayan connection as well, this famous Birch Island triangle can hold the secret knowledge to forgotten ancient civilizations.
Thoughts It would be hard for me to think that these South American Mesoamerican cultures that had knowledge of the stars, calendar and the alignment of the suns winters and summer highest points long before the Europeans believed the world was flat to believe they had no means to travel long distance? Gee these South American culture’s built phenomenal large Egyptian style Pyramids easier than ant hills and had water running up hill with water pressure also they had a city built on a lake or on wetlands, navigating through any Atlantis aquatics would be a stone throw for the Mesoamericans to elude the Spanish conqueror Cortes' that marched on there cities and conquered them with brutal tactics by using hostages of royal of Kings ect.
Prophecies Time to travel The Mesoamerican believed in prophecy and believed the sun guided them and they made life sacrifices rituals in belief it would please the sun gods. There must have been some thing to there rituals visions they new when to get going when the going was good, this does sound like the Templar situation they new when to get the heck out of Europe and there elusive exodus was mysteriously unknown to where? This is the same with the Mesoamerican culture there are similarities in these events of these mysterious cultures.
Templars How could of the Templars have crossed the Atlantic when the world was believed to be flat and how could the Mesoamericans travel north up the Atlantic sea board to a cold climate-isolated Island, but these journeys may have been made for a unification of spiritual treasures for reasons unknown or for a salvation to what they had in covenant. Nothing seemed easy for them or for someone that was for them, hopefully they can find salvation with today’s civilizations with our technologies and they’re not so primitive knowledge, which would be an ultimate unification that may serve us well.
Globals' Ross Lord Synopsis Oak Island's past, present and future' but can First Nations Researcher Keith Ranville inspire Oak Island's treasure hunting popularity as he already done with his recent news about his Birch Island triangle theory: YOU TUBE Synopsis
Global National News : Oak Island--In Nova Scotia a once flourishing tourism industry is gradually dwindling, its down turn some blame on a lack of new attractions. How ever one small Island could soon change that? As Ross Lord explains that' not only that it comes with pirates and hidden treasure' the tourist are practically lined up already.
(Reporter Ross Lord)
For more than two centuries this small Nova Scotia Island has contained one of the greatest mysteries of the world the treasure pit of Oak Island.
(Oak Island Tourism Society) The draw in is the mystery it's self, nobody knows for sure who buried what even indeed if there is anything buried underneath of Oak Island. Since 1795 people being trying to discover oh' well what is the mystery of Oak Island?
(Reporter Ross Lord)
Getting to the bottom of the treasure pit has proven impossible, in two hundred years of digging they encountered Oak log platforms every ten feet or so' too the thirty foot level, down deeper multiple layers of charcoal, putty and coconut fiber. Beneath that another platform, then layers of wood and iron. Throw in a man made flooding system and it is no wonder at least six men have died and several fortunes have being lost trying to obtain proof.
(Lady In Car)
It's a just amazing like however they did that, that long ago and why they would do it and what would they would be there for anybody to see or touch?
(Reporter Ross Lord) Among the artifacts retrieved tons of coconut fiber a fruit grown in warm weather, the fiber strengthens the theory the famous pirate Captain kidd buried a plundered treasure here.
(Father and son Zack) Zack is reading a book on um'' Oak Island and the mystery around it, he wanted to discover more?
(Reporter Ross Lord) But visitors get a rude awakening' privately owned by two treasure hunters the island has bein off limits to the general public for the past ten years. Now the the owners have giving up there dreams of finding the treasure, there selling Oak Island. Those who want Oak Island opened up' say its a tourism gold mine in the making, weather there is a actual treasure or not. And this is a region that is suffering from a recent down turn in tourism.
(Oak Island Tourism Society)
We had a visibility study ah' done this year finished this year, that told us that we can attract conservatively eighty thousand people a year to Oak Island if we had a very well done tourist attraction here.
(ReporterRoss Lord)
It gives new hope to a enduring mystery the possible pirates booty that could result in a tourism treasure.
(Tourist Man) I never seen it, but I heard a lot about it and' I would like to see it?

Canadian First Nations Keith Ranville's Latest Oak Island Discovery The Birch Island Treasure Triangle.
Transcript Done by First Nations Researcher Keith Ranville for the hearing impaired & ResearchStudies
Independent Oak Island
First Nations Researcher/Treasure Hunter
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 schoolteacher 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.

Correspondence with Keith Ranville during December, 2006
FIRST NATIONS TRANSLATOR DECIPHERS ANCIENT TREASURE STONE
Cree Native translates ancient stone as a treasure map
By Reporter ANGIE ZINCK WESTERN SHORE NOVA SCOTIA - You may have heard about the Da Vinci code, but the Ranville code could be what solves the longest-running treasure hunt in recorded history. Keith Ranville, a First Nations man, has travelled from Winnipeg to Nova Scotia in hopes of unlocking the secret codes on Oak Island. He says he has done so by re-translating one of the stones found on the island over 200 years ago. The stone was first found in 1803 by the Onslow Company. Found 90 feet down the Money Pit, the stone was believed to be two feet long and 15 inches wide, weighing approximately 175 lb.
Since that time, it has been said that the inscription on the stone read "forty feet below two million pounds are buried,"
as transcribed by James Leitchi, a professor of languages at Dalhousie University. Some researchers have questioned this translation as Mr. Leitchi was involved in a treasure hunting company trying to sell stocks.
Keith Ranville New Translatations
Today, the actual stone is lost. It was used as a hearthstone in two homes on Oak Island, but it was moved to a Halifax storefront where it went missing when the building was torn down. Its last known location was around the Centennial Pool area. Mr. Ranville used pictures of the stone to decipher its series of shapes, lines and dots to reveal a new translation that reads more like a map. "I've brought some new stuff to the table," he says, adding that the stone's etchings could be used to figure out the mystery of Oak Island. By his translation, much of the digging in the Money Pit area has been a waste of time and money. "I believe the pit wasn't meant to go beyond 100 feet," he says. "I believe it wasn't meant to go beyond these symbols."
Money Pit If one were to take Mr. Ranville's code and follow it, it would lead you off Oak Island, the site of all the treasure hunting for the past 211 years, under the water of the bay and onto the neighbouring Birch Island via man-made shafts. "The instructions at the bottom of the pit tell you about where and how to locate these shafts and I believe they're in Mahone Bay," he says. Mr. Ranville believes the two islands are connected by these shafts. He said that aerial shots of Birch Island prove the island has been touched by human hands. These aerial shots of the 16-acre Birch Island do show a large triangle which takes up a good portion of the island landscape. "What I want to do is investigate this island where I think these symbols lead to," he says. Mr. Ranville has contacted the owner, Christopher Ondaatje, to inquire about doing some soil testing and exploring on the island.
In addition to being the home of the famous treasure, Mr. Ranville believes Birch Island may also be an ancient burial site for those who were involved in the original treasure-hiding scheme. "This is a significant Nova Scotia heritage discovery and that is Canada's national treasure brought here for our guardianship long before Canada was established," he says. "We should respect the civilization that is responsible for the makings of these structures. "They were a very unique culture and may hold the secret to many ancient structures. Although he doesn't know who actually buried the treasure, Mr. Ranville believes Oak Island and Birch Island need to be protected from further change to unlock their true history. At the time of this interview, Mr. Ranville had yet to hear from Mr. Ondaatje regarding the island. He says he will continue to research the island and its tales of mystery and treasure.

FIRST NATIONS OAK ISLAND TREASURE HUNTER/RESEARCHER Keith Ranville
MYSTERIOUS NEW READING OF THE OAK ISLAND INSCRIPTIONS
Theory points to possible connection with nearby Birch Island
Special Photo Edition
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia: Tuesday, January 1st, 2008- - For the past two centuries, the tunnels of Nova Scotia’s Oak Island have piqued the imagination of historians and treasure hunters alike. Now, a new theory by First Nations researcher Keith Ranville may add fresh speculation to the mystery. Based on a unique reading of an inscription once found in the “Money Pit,” Mr. Ranville believes that the answer to the riddle may be found on nearby Birch Island.
Oak Island, located on the scenic Mahone Bay about an hour’s drive south of the provincial capital of Halifax, has been associated with buried treasure since the late 18th century. Local settlers reportedly found a ship’s tackle block hanging from a tree branch, overhanging a large depression in the ground.
Early efforts to dig down failed when the diggers encountered layers of timber every 10 feet. In the ensuing generations, several organized excavation attempts have drilled down nearly 200 feet, en route encountering some artifacts within the staggered layers of logs, clay, putty, charcoal, flagstones and most perplexingly, coconut husks.
During the earlier diggings of 1800’s, the tunnel had become flooded by seawater – which many believed was the result booby trap being sprung – thus complicating further digging since then. A drilling effort in the mid 1800’s was said to have uncovered fragments of a gold chain. In 1971, a camera was lowered into the pit and reportedly captured images of wooden chests and human remains.
Young Franklin Roosevelt
Among the scores of enthusiastic treasure hunters was a young Franklin Roosevelt, one of the investors in a 1909 excavation attempt.
One of the most fascinating artifacts from the pit was said to be a flat stone recovered at the 90 foot depth, carrying a mysterious inscription. A fragment of stone with similar symbols was found nearby in Smith’s Cove in the 1930’s. The stone tablet itself has gone missing, but a record of its symbols remains. Until now, the consensus is that the symbols are a code translated as; “forty feet below two million pounds are buried.”
Oak Island Money pit inscriptions
However, Keith Ranville’s theory offers a different interpretation as to the stone’s symbols, which could lead to a new explanation of the Oak Island mystery. “I believe these symbols have been incorrectly assumed to stand for something else. In the First Nations tradition that I’m a part of, we believe symbols should simply be looked at in and of themselves, rather than thinking of them as codes that have to be cracked,” Mr. Ranville explained. “In the pictograms of Cree Salavics, for example, the images are meant to be descriptive, not abstract.” Using this approach, Mr. Ranville examined the Oak Island symbols and found what may be a set of instructions about a tunnel system involving both Oak Island and nearby Birch Island.
Keith Ranville's Translations
For example, the stone inscription begins with a triangle symbol, which is repeated throughout. Mr. Ranville believes that this represents nearby Birch Island, which has a distinctly triangular clearing on its north shore. Likewise, a symbol showing a circle divided into two hemispheres can be thought of as representing north/south directional markers. A series of dots in singles, pairs and triplets may be quantitative symbols.
Examining all the symbols in this way, Mr. Ranville believes that the symbols on the Money Pit’s stone tablet are actually technical instructions describing the location and layout of a possible underground network involving both Oak Island and Birch Island. Oak Island inscribed artifact with the same inscriptions as the money pit symbol's
“There was a fragment of another stone tablet that was found on Oak Island’s Smith Cove in the 1930’s,” Mr. Ranville explained. “It too has these types of symbols, but one in particular appears to be a Greek symbol designating ‘underwater door’. In conjunction with the other symbols, I believe this points to underwater doors and additional shafts on Birch Island itself.” Oak Island/Smiths Cove
Smith’s Cove is on the part of Oak Island that is closest to Birch Island, and is said to have yielded several artifacts itself over the years.
“Based on the inscribed symbols, I think we should be looking at Oak Island and Birch Island together in order to solve the mystery. If Birch Island proves to have underwater doors and tunnels around its triangular clearing, then it would be a huge step forward in our understanding of what Oak Island is all about.”
There have been many, occasionally bizarre, theories as to what the Oak Island tunnels may contain: a Masonic vault containing the Holy Grail, Viking or Pirate booty, Inca treasure, the French Royal Crown Jewels, payroll for colonial British soldiers or even the secret writings of Francis Bacon. Mr. Ranville prefers not to speculate. “Those are interesting and sometimes funny theories, but I’d rather just look at the evidence that we do have, and go from there.”

I not only ciphered symbols I brought out images from out of in stone? In relation to the oak island mystery. I am still in the midst of solving this mystery these images play a key role in solving this mystery my goal is to solve this mystery and be on my way.
Please enjoy my work I am working hard to bring forward my work to the world to view at my own expense and time.
Mr. Ranville is a self-taught researcher born in Manitoba. While living in Vancouver, he became acquainted with the Oak Island mystery and began studying it. Both Oak Island and Birch Island are private property, and access must be sought by permission of the landowners.
