Are you interested in the lost manuscripts of "Shake-speare," and the Oak Island mystery? In that case, you will appreciate David J. Hanson's proposition that the manuscripts are the treasure buried in the bowels of Oak Island.
There is much evidence to support his thesis, which we hope to add here soon. In the meantime, you will find a small fraction of his Oak Island research on the Oak Island Mystery page.
Over the years, David was well-connected with the various personalities concerning the Oak Island mystery, including David Tobias, Fred Nolan, Dan Blankenship, and Robert Dunfield.
Dunfield was the key figure of the 1965 excavation in what is known as the Money Pit and the man that introduced David to the island's mystery. He and David had drilled a test oil well together shortly after Dunfield's failed attempt to find the treasure that has eluded treasure hunters for centuries and even cost some of them their lives. At the time of drilling, because Dunfield's Oak Island expedition was still fresh, Dunfield's spoke of little else.
It would be a drilling with a twist of fate for David because it would be the first time he would learn of Oak Island and its mystery. David became fascinated with Dunfield's story and eventually developed his theory for what lay buried in a cavern 30 feet under The Money Pit.
For the rest of David's life, he would engage in years and years of research to prove that the plays of "Shake-speare" were buried beneath sea level and that Oak Island was the spot, even earning himself Reader's privileges at the Huntington Library.
If it sounds too far-fetched, we're confident you'll change your mind once you become familiar with David's thesis.
If you do, you won't be alone.
