The Arcadian Mysteries Part I: Oak Island and Philip Sidney's 'Arcadia'

Here in part one of my series about the Arcadian Mysteries we examine how the original Oak Island folklore is included in a literary work entitled "Arcadia" by Philip Sidney. This work was finished in 1580 over two hundred years prior to the story of Oak Island being exposed to the public. The work was then later edited and amended by the first Baron of Nova Scotia William Alexander Earl of Stirling. The Alexanders have many family connections to the French governor of Nova Scotia Charles de La Tour. In upcoming episodes we will examine the Alexander's role in founding Alexandria Virginia which is named for them as well as their role in founding Washington D.C. This information will reveal many commonalities in mysterious goings on at Shugborough Hall and Rennes le Chateau which also invoke the imagery of Arcadia. The development of Colonial Virginia also is included in tandem with the mystery of the Bruton Parish Church Vault said to contain a stash of Sir Francis Bacon's papers. Are these myths and legends true or are they meant to tell us something more?

Good stuff Cort! Looking forward to seeing Part II. I'm reading your book now.

Did Jake Roberts steal your work? He found connections between Sidney and Alexander as well.
Any take on why the Shakespeare folio is dedicated to Philips nephews?

Hello Cort,

I'm a land surveyor and civil engineer by trade and am super interested in all of your work. Your channel popped up in my feed close to 10 years ago I think... I reviewed a good bit of your work then and was impressed, , and am now coming back to it again in December 2021. Question: is there any way to view your videos that are hidden on YT? Thanks!
