In The Curse of Oak Island: Digging Deeper season 1 episode 4, titled The Secret of Solomon's Temple, the team is still reeling from the discovery of a possible shipwreck at Smith's Cove. However, they quickly shift their focus to another intriguing aspect of the island's history: the possibility that the treasures of King Solomon's Temple are hidden somewhere on Oak Island.
The episode begins with a recap of the team's previous discoveries, including the Oak Island swamp, the Money Pit, and the strange carved stone tablet found in the 1800s. They speculate on what the symbols on the tablet could mean, with some suggesting a connection to the Knights Templar, the legendary protectors of Solomon's treasure.
Next, the team brings in historian Joy Steele, who has spent years researching the history of King Solomon's Temple and the Knights Templar. She explains that the Knights believed they were entrusted with the protection of the vast wealth of Solomon's Temple, which was said to include gold, silver, precious stones, and other treasures.
The team then dives into the history of the Knights Templar and their supposed connection to Oak Island. They discuss how the Knights were persecuted and disbanded by the Catholic Church in the 1300s, and how many of their members fled to various parts of the world, including North America.
One theory is that the Knights brought the treasures of Solomon's Temple to Oak Island for safekeeping, and created the infamous Money Pit as a way to hide it. The team looks at various clues that could support this theory, including a possible connection to the Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland, which is said to contain symbols related to the Knights Templar and their search for Solomon's treasure.
The team then discusses the possibility that other items related to the Knights Templar are hidden on Oak Island, including the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant. They examine other clues that point to the presence of these items, such as old maps and carvings found on the island.
As the episode comes to a close, the team is left with many unanswered questions. Could the treasures of King Solomon's Temple really be hidden on Oak Island? And if so, where exactly are they located? Only further excavation and research will provide the answers.
Overall, The Curse of Oak Island: Digging Deeper season 1 episode 4 provides a fascinating look into the history of the Knights Templar and their connection to Oak Island. The team's discoveries and theories are sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats as they eagerly anticipate the next episode.
