Plunging deep into the earth at about 30 meters (90 feet), a stone inscription between 2-3′ long by 12-16″ with ‘Tifinagh’ Amazigh scripts has been found in 1803, in Oak Island, a 140-acre piece of land located along Canada’s Atlantic coast off the shores of Nova Scotia. It was said to resemble dark Swedish granite and to have an olive tinge, and was not a stone common to the area.

Upon the stone was a strange inscription that they could not decipher. It was not until the 1949 when the inscription was translated by Reverend A.T. Kempton to read: “Forty Feet Below Two Million Pounds Are Buried”, yet the meaning of it and how it ended up in North America, still remains a complete mystery. 

The discovery was originally published back in 2012 in “The Oak Island Mystery”, the world’s greatest treasure hunt book written by Lionel and Patricia Fanthorpe.

Tifinagh, the Amazigh alphabet, is a series alphabetic scripts used to write Amazigh  languages across North Aafrica ‘Tamazgha’ it is considered now as one of the oldest known writing systems in the world. Evidence exist of its existence since 600 BC.
