Although the creator does not give any type of critical thinking to this video, it is a good starting point for people just looking into this topic. The narrator does include some Bias into his narration with the information he is giving as for example when he is speaking about The pirate Captain Kidd, he speaks of what skeptics believe and why they believe it, meanwhile only briefly touches on the idea of Captain Kidd, which shows his bias towards believing the skeptics on that subject. ]]> 2018-03-31 16:36:14 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247610339 christopher_brady https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247611069 This video covers the topic of Smiths Cove, and as to why it may be a man made.  There is much speculation and talk about Smiths Cove being man made as it does not conform to the islands natural topography, along with the box drains which were constructed underneath the cove, using materials not native to Nova Scotia or the surrounding area.   The issue's with the narrator's idea would come from patternicity, and perception/observation. The narrator has found a pattern while observing maps and other old settlements found in historical documents. The issue that arises from this way of thinking is that Smiths Cove has been excavated multiple times, and with the Atlantic Ocean also changing its features year to year, we cannot directly connect oyster bays to Smiths cove,  as the video continues on, it talks about the box drains under Smiths Cove, which while using critical thinking would help disprove the video's original theory of a man made oyster bay.  ]]> 2018-03-31 16:45:16 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247611069 christopher_brady https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247877989 This video covering Nolan's cross attempts to show how the cross correlates to other locations in the world which are also linked to the Knight's Templar. Although the narrator has used some technology and attempted to best place the cross onto google maps, he has not used critical thinking to fully understand how Nolan's cross could possibly be a natural phenomenon. He has fallen prey to Patternicity, as when the Knight's Templar possibly created the cross, they could not have taken into consideration the curvature of the earth as Google maps does and they would have placed to cross on a direct path towards the Island he mentions in the video.  Also to be pointing exactly at the island is very unlikely as with the technology available to them at the time, there could be no way that it would be perfectly aimed at the island. There is also the fact that it is not known if possibly rocks have been moved, or removed completely which could change the entire cross to depict something else, as the island was used for farming and rocks could have possibly been removed because of their location in a field.]]> 2018-04-02 17:28:09 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247877989 christopher_brady https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247880567 2018-04-02 17:35:00 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247880567 christopher_brady https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247881320 The box drains located in Smith's Cove are the entrance tunnels believed to be created for the booby traps located on Oak Island. These tunnels allow ocean water to enter into the island and flood tunnels which are created while attempting to find the true Money Pit and location of the supposedly buried treasure. To date, there have been excavations done in Smiths Cove which discovered that indeed there have been man made drains created, and have been well constructed to stand the test of time, by using coconut fibers and eel grass to protect the drains from ever being blocked by sediment. There is no record of these being created, or the reason for them, which has driven the thought that they are protecting the treasure supposedly located on Oak Island. These assumptions about the reason for these box drains could be linked to confirmation Bias, as people believe that  they were created for the one reason of the treasure, when there are also other options such as the oyster farm theory, or possible other option that could explain the purpose of the construction.]]> 2018-04-02 17:37:15 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247881320 christopher_brady https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247885736 2018-04-02 17:51:15 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247885736 christopher_brady https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247886031 This picture is an ariel view of the swamp located in the middle of Oak Island. Many people believe that the swamp is man made and that the island was actually two islands which were joined to possibly hide treasure, or a ship which was purposefully submerged. There has been coins, large parts of an old sailing ship located in the swamp over the years. There is also the thought that the swamp is man made because of the shape of it being a triangle which is not a naturally occurring shape in nature.  Proof by verbosity has fuelled many people to believe these theories, when there many other possibilities to explain away many of the items which have been found in the swamp. There is also supporting evidence to prove that the swamp is man made, as there has been descriptions in historical documents mentioning the island and that in fact it was possibly two islands at one point in time. ]]> 2018-04-02 17:52:11 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247886031 christopher_brady https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247894348 2018-04-02 18:16:42 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247894348 christopher_brady https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247896305 2018-04-02 18:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247896305 christopher_brady https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247897741 2018-04-02 18:25:57 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247897741 christopher_brady https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247898845 2018-04-02 18:29:21 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247898845 christopher_brady https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247963043 Samuel Ball was a land owner on Oak Island, who was given a plot of land after the war as payment for his participation.  When he moved to the island he was not wealthy and became a simple farmer.  Over the years he began to buy more plots of land, which has raised questions around how he afford the purchases, and have brought many to speculate that he had located buried treasure on his land which financed the purchases of the other plots. The belief that Samuel Ball had found part of the Oak Island treasure would be fueled by the Unexplained, as many records of Samuel Ball's finances and transactions were not recorded and have been lost to time.]]> 2018-04-03 01:02:51 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247963043 christopher_brady https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247963883 This website gives the reader an overview of the money pit and the excavations that have gone on there over the years. It recaps all of the foremost believed stories of Oak Island, and pertaining to the 90ft stone. The problem with this website is that is only helps to fuel the front running beliefs about Oak island, as it does not pursue any type of evidence or proof to further strengthen any evidence found to date.  This would lead to the red flag of Proof by Authority because people come across this website and with it being well created, people would mistake this site for a legitimate source of information.]]> 2018-04-03 01:11:11 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247963883 christopher_brady https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247965408 This website go into detail about the history of the Island and the timeline of different excavations and treasure hunters to attempt to recover the treasure in the "Money pit". As with the previous site, although it recaps a proper timeline, it also leads readers to believe that many of the myths or legends about the island are true and have scientific backing. This would also lead to Proof by Authority as when people access websites they believe the information to be true and that the creator has vetted the information they are putting forth to the reader. ]]> 2018-04-03 01:27:50 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247965408 christopher_brady https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247966153 This website covers the history of Oak Island but in a more appropriate manner, as it puts forth the timeline of excavations and treasure hunter, but with a skeptical view on the theories and myths surrounding the island. It gives the reader the information without tying in any type of confirmation Bias to the myths surrounding the island. It allows the reader to understand what has happened on the island to date and does not present the different theories surrounding each area. It allows the reader to make informative ideas and decisions on what they may think is the reason for all the in-explained things around the island.]]> 2018-04-03 01:33:52 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247966153 christopher_brady https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247968322 2018-04-03 01:52:36 UTC https://padlet.com/christopher_brady/uqj5f512y3hj/wish/247968322
