A theory by Byron Johns of Gower Missouri USA
Here is my theory where the actual location of the treasure resides.
First, Nolan's cross...overlay that with the cross carved in the Prison where Templars were held. Look at the hole. Now reference this with the Spear of Destiny painting. The Spear points to the location matching the hole on the same cross symbol in the prison. Also look at another drawing that has the Passion Chalice in the same location. The location of Beauty. The Passion of Christ and where blood of Jesus was spilled by the Roman soldier. The Heart of Jesus. The Triangle in the swamp points directly at this location.
Growing up Catholic I remember pictures of Christ and Mary, and a symbol of the Heart pendant exactly at the same location of Beauty. I believed that this is the location for many years. I too read that article in Readers Digest and was fascinated with it. Never could afford the opportunity to invested and search that location, but, wanted to share my insights with you.
I go out gold mining when I can and hunt for diamonds at Diamond Crater State Park, AR.
I attached photos of what I have been trying to explain. See, my grandpa always said our past ancestors were Templars, he thought my theory is dead on accurate.
Maybe one more thought I have about the collapsed structure on lot 15, the tunnels, why flood tunnels; for the treasures from Temple Mount, and the value and significance of these artifacts, and the importance of them, and the threats to the Templars, you can bet the place was well thought and planned...you would not want easy access to it but must put certain clues left for us to follow... like what I mentioned previously...flood tunnels? What better way to guarantee tunnels to collapse and bury the treasure for who knows how long until it's discovery...fun stuff isn't it?

A theory by Harry Fitzgibbon
The markings appear to symbolize the Constellation of Taurus and the Sun. The structure appears to be circular so, I would assume that it is a geocentric calendar with earth at its center. Perhaps this portion marks the Sun in Taurus, roughly mid-April to mid-May but the map may be pre Gregorian, prior to 153 BCE.so use the December triangle as the 10th Month.
TAURUS THE BULL
⨀ STAR OR SUN SYMBOL
How to read a medieval astronomical calendar.
Perhaps it is part of an End Times Messianic Countdown? (I know that's a leap)
Perhaps the Sun in Leo would mark the 2nd Coming, when the Ark and Minora are
returned to the Temple Mount? (another leap)
Below are some illustrations that better explain my hunch.
1.Oak Island , 2. Leo Constellation from Dante's Paradiso / 2nd Coming, 3. Halprin's map item may align on a Magen David formed by Nolan's Cross. 4. The Leo Constellation over Oak Island, with Regulus "the king maker" (Star of Christ's birth) aligning with the money pit.
This is a real leap but points on the Magen David (Halprin map) may refer to:
- 12 months on Jewish Calendar
- 12 tribes of Judah
- 12 Constellations
- Or to corresponding biblical events such as Creation, The Flood, Parting of the Red Sea, Christ's birth etc. or other "Arks" (not a biblical scholar)
(December Triangle on the Halprin Map is still the 10th month,
so the calendar would be set prior to 153 BCE)
(la ange also means inlet in french - flood tunnel?, perhaps the
Valve would shut it off, my guess is that the tunnel would follow
the ancient road, explaining the sink holes which align with it.)
Thanks, Wishing you all the best. Stay safe.
