Muy interesante la exposición de ideas sobre el posible destino del tesoro de los templarios así como del descubrimiento de América del Norte por navegantes europeos antes de Colón.
La hilación cronológica de la familia Saint Claire en Escocia y demás territorios de ultramar es bastante emocionante, sobre todo tratándose de la posible localización de uno de los mayores tesoros de la humanidad, en concreto del Cristianismo, Judaísmo e Islam. Merece la pena leerlo, Dan ganas de seguir profundizando en la infinidad de puntos tratados a lo largo de los dos últimos milenios.… (altro)

I must say, I was expecting a lot more than what I got from this book. There is an island off Nova Scotia where 3 kids poking around found a shaft that someone had dug that may or may not be filled with some kind of treasure. The premise of this book is that it was treasure left at the bottom of this strange place by a Scottish family who were heirs to the treasure of the Knights Templar.

Here's the problem: the book doesn't really tell you much about Oak Island because there is not much to know. So while the filler between the first few chapters and the last chapter is interesting, it doesn't really tell you anything about the supposed treasure. And that's okay, because there's nothing to know! The book is VERY unorganized and kind of just rambles from this topic to that topic; there's a lot of unnecessary stuff & a LOT of speculation. However, there is some interesting stuff in here that might make you pause for a moment regarding the roots of Christian holidays & worship. I'm keeping it for now to get a list of the sources that are used in this book, because I've found some avenues for future reading that I want to take.

As far as a resource, the book is probably not too good if you're interested in Oak Island itself, but can be used as a starting point if you're interested in the Knights Templar/freemasonry/the origins of Christianity etc.… (altro)
