Did Vikings visit Oak Island?
Vikings were the first Europeans to settle in North America.
Their most famous settlement is l’Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland. It was found by archaeologists in the 1960s. It is now the site of a national park with a recreated Viking village.
This and other mysterious rock carvings have been found in Nova Scotia. They resemble Viking rock carvings found in Scandinavia. No one has decyphered them – so far.
Some authors argue that a Viking longship sits at the bottom of the Oak Island Money Pit, like this ship that was dug up in Norway.
These mysterious ruins of stone walls on Oak Island, and others like it, may be the remains of a Viking settlement.
Researcher Doug Symons cites much more evidence that Vikings settled on Oak Island in his book Oak Island’s First Visitors.
