4. A Group of People Think the Holy Grail Is In Canada
There is another legend that suggests that the Holy Grail is in Canada, and for this legend, there may actually be some historical evidence. The idea is that when the order was given for the Knights Templar to be rounded up, tortured, and executed on Friday the thirteenth in 1307, some of them escaped by boat and carried their secret treasure with them. As descendants of the Vikings, they were able to navigate the waters to Iceland, which was settled by Vikings, on to Greenland, and finally to Nova Scotia. Some believe that it was buried at a place called Oak Island.
Oak Island contains some symbols that seem to bear a connection to the Knights Templar. In 1795, some teenagers who were playing discovered a shaft that led to a platform of wooden logs. Every 10 feet down was another platform of wooden logs, indicating to would-be treasure hunters that the pole had been meticulously engineered with the intention of hiding something. Booby traps were also placed at different points of the shaft. So many excavations have been performed, and so much money has been poured into trying to uncover the treasure that must lay within that the place has been nicknamed “the money pit.” Many believe that it was in this very pit that the Knights Templar buried the Holy Grail.
