ONE LINE

In 1200, someone crossed the Atlantic and left a message on Oak Island written in stone and in the stars. As Above So Below uncovers the message only a medieval Templar Knight was meant to read, and publishes every calculation so you can try to prove it wrong.

ONE PARAGRAPH

For 230 years, the Oak Island Money Pit has been searched by digging. Six men have died and fortunes have been lost, but nobody has reached the bottom. As Above So Below says they were solving the wrong problem, because the answer was never underground. It was lying on the surface, in plain sight, waiting for someone able to read it. Conor Owens did not set out to prove that Templars reached North America three centuries before Columbus. He set out to understand why they might have. What he found instead was a pattern of granite boulders reflecting a set of star positions eight hundred years out of date, and a medieval document dismissed as a forgery that knew things no forger could have known. Two independent trails, worked separately, months apart. They arrive at the same answer: specific coordinates, and what is buried beneath. Bound with the narrative is a second volume publishing every measurement, star table and line of code behind the claim — because a conclusion this groundbreaking should not be believed, it should be checked.

ABOUT 200 WORDS

Three boys found a hole in the ground on Oak Island in 1795. Two and a half centuries, six deaths and several ruined fortunes later, it has still not given up its bottom.

As Above So Below says reaching the bottom was never the point. It argues that around the year 1200 a Templar-sponsored expedition crossed the Atlantic, concealed something of real value on Oak Island, and left directions to it above ground: five granite boulders, positioned to be read against the medieval night sky. Turn the sky back eight hundred years and the stones and the stars speak.

Conor Owens is a Dublin accountant who came to Oak Island through The Curse of Oak Island and began as a sceptic. He pursued two independent trails: the island's stones read against the medieval sky, and a document declared a fake in 2016 that describes features it should not have known existed. Worked separately, months apart, they land on the same answer — a set of coordinates, and what is buried there.

A second volume within the book publishes the coordinates, star tables, calculations and code, so that readers can confirm the book or try to take the whole thing apart.
