I have already proven without a doubt that Keith’s is running noting but an investment scam though his ‘Business Opportunity’. Please read my entry for 15 March 2007 for further information.
Now that his investment scam is debunked, it is time to debunk his theory. I have never countered Keith’s theory, and I thought it better to wait until Keith admitted to lying about Birch Island. Certainly you might be confused over Keith's theory, so here it is.
Keith thinks the Money Pit’s ‘Inscribed Stone’ allegedly found in 1805 and to have displayed unknown symbols, and in-conjunction with a series of small stones which formed a triangle found on the south shore; somehow contains references which point to (insert location of the month here). These two items are the foundation to his theory.
Interestingly, Keith is making a documentary so he may need some facts.
Fact, Keith says he challenges a translation of the symbols by a Professor James Leitchi of Dalhousie University and dating to the 1860s. The problem is, the professor translated a 37 character code, while Keith translated the 40 character code by Edward Snow (from his book True Tales of Buried Treasure), which is the popular “Forty feet below ten million pounds are buried”. I bet Keith does not even know what the 37 character code of Leitchi said. This is a typical mistake made by those who have not done their research and only shows that Keith is an idiot. This point is actually laughable to anyone who knows of Oak Island.
Think about this...here is Keith boasting of this code which is known to have been modified by a fictional writer in 1952...really where will it end?
Fact, testimony from by Harry W Marshall, said that he was familiar with the stone, as it was on display in his father’s store of Creighton and Marshall. Harry said that in the late 1880s, the stone had no visible symbols that were either painted or scratched into the surface except for the initials JM.
Was the stone for real? Popular opinion going back to the 1860s is for the symbols on the stone to have been faked for the purpose of soliciting investment in another treasure hunt. Yes, there were sceptics of this stone going right back to when it made its first public appearance. It seems that over 150 years later, these ‘symbols’ on the stone are being used for this very same purpose. Again, this shows Keith is nothing more than an idiot.
Fact, as interesting as the triangle of stones might be, they are nothing more than of contemporary times, post 1795 and perhaps from 1897. Fortunately some of those early (1860s) Oak island investors were VERY wealthy men as Halifax had many. One of those investors had the wisdom (and the money) to hire an early photographer during the 1860s and onwards. There are many old photos on glass plate negatives which were taken of the South Shore. These photos show a shoreline and ground elevation much differently than exists today (post 1897). During this period, the mine tailings from the MP and numerous other pits were deposited in the exact location of where the triangle of stones was located. Specifically, photographic evidence exists which shows the operations at Pit 14 with a dump system of elevated rails directly over the triangle’s location. There was so much mine tailing deposited, that it elevated the entire area by approximately 3 ft and to such a degree the area has been permanently altered. Welling found this triangle of stones on the surface and only covered by grass, certainly not buried by the few feet of dirt which were deposited over it. Can this triangle of stones be from the original construction? I think not. This is just another sloppy bit of research by Keith, for the purpose of his scam, and only shows that he is an idiot.
Well folks there you have it. As a note to Keith’s movie guy, I tried to warn you about Keith only fishing for a sucker and he caught you.
Keith, when can we expect a custom 37 character code translation which points to Birch Island?
