Copper Scroll From Qumran
Provides Directions To 64 Amazing Treasure Sites.
Source: See Ancient Origens link below.

The Copper Scroll is part of the extraordinary cache of 1st Century documents first discovered in caves at Qumran popularly known as the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Copper Scroll, however, is very different from the other documents in the Qumran library.  In fact, it is so anomalous among the Dead Sea Scrolls – its author, script, style, language, genre, content, and medium all differ to the other scrolls – that scholars believe it must have been placed in the cave at a different time to the rest of the ancient documents.  As Professor Richard Freund stated, the copper scroll is "probably the most unique, the most important, and the least understood." ...

Copper Scroll Contents

It was no ordinary list, rather it contained directions to 64 locations where staggering quantities of treasure could be found.  Sixty-three of the locations refer to treasures of gold and silver, which have been estimated in the tonnes.  Tithing vessels are also listed among the entries, along with other vessels, and three locations featured scrolls. One entry apparently mentions priestly vestments.  In total, over 4,600 talents of precious metal are listed on the scroll, making the total haul worth in excess of a billion dollars...

“Forty two talents lie under the stairs in the salt pit ... Sixty five bars of gold lie on the third terrace in the cave of the old Washers House ... Seventy talents of silver are enclosed in wooden vessels that are in the cistern of a burial chamber in Matia's courtyard. Fifteen cubits from the front of the eastern gates, lies a cistern. The ten talents lie in the canal of the cistern ... Six silver bars are located at the sharp edge of the rock which is under the eastern wall in the cistern. The cistern's entrance is under the large paving stone threshold. Dig down four cubits in the northern corner of the pool that is east of Kohlit. There will be twenty two talents of silver coins.”   (DSS 3Q15, col. II, translation by Hack and Carey.)...

Now there is a treasure story.

The Lost Treasure of the Dead Sea Copper Scroll | Ancient Origins (ancient-origins.net)

I am currently reading two books on the Dead Sea Scrolls. The best treasure you might obtain from studying the dead sea scrolls is a better understanding of the Bible.

For the first time in 198 years there is good reason to believe that the mysteries of the
Oak Island "money pit" will be solved.

In his discussion of the upcoming assault on Oak Island Mr. Tobias indicated that. at last, the long years of research and paper work are nearly complete.  

Core samples taken from the "money pit" have included china, oak buds, metal and wood from as deep as 212 feet.

Sound familiar?  The three sentences above are taken from a 1988 article in Treasure magazine (vol. 19, no. 8).

Reading the 1988 article leaves you feeling like nothing significant has changed on Oak Island in the last 34 years.  The same theories were recounted in the 1988 article that you hear repeated on recent TV episodes.   And it isn't just the theories.  Except for minor exceptions like Roosevelt's boot (a real hoot), they were talking about most of the same things 34 years ago that they are talking about in the latest TV episodes -  caissons, drill samples, tunnels, and wood, wood, wood.  After reading the article, it seems to me that the mystery of Oak Island is the amount of time that has disappeared without any of significant treasure being discovered.

Here is a telling excerpt from the 1988 article:  Triton Alliance has carefully evaluated the potential revenue associated with the sale of television, film and publication rights that the exploration will generate.  As stated in Tritons' Oak Island Exploration prospectus, in reference to these revenues: "The extra dimension means that whether there is a treasure buried on Oak Island or not, the exposure of the original workings and solution of the mystery could by themselves generate sufficient revenues to offset or even exceed the actual costs of exploration."   

The biggest change with Oak Island since 1988 is the TV air time.   If you are still awaiting the discovery of a big treasure, you missed it.  Like with Darcey and Stacey, Doctor Pimple Popper, and All Star Wrestling, the TV revenues are the treasure.

To have the spirit of discernment is to possess the ability to judge well. We get our English word "aesthetic" from the Greek word for discernment, meaning moral perception, insight, and the practical application of knowledge.

It is a breezy day with some clouds.  I wish we had some tides.  The tides have been nearly non-existent lately.   

We will get a little wind shift tomorrow and a drop in temperature.
