 Keith Ranville's New Theory on the Oak Island Money Pit
What First Nations researcher Keith Ranville has theorized is that even if someone eventually makes it to the bottom, they will only find a decoy pit.
The original stone inscription found in the pit was deciphered as reading, "forty feet below 2 million pounds are buried." Keith Ranville, with his Native American background, has claimed to have re-deciphered the inscription and says it is actually pointing to Birch Island - 2 islands away from Oak Island.
Keith Ranville's interpretation is that the first triangle in the inscription points to Birch Island while the rest deals with engineering patterns.
