The video explores a theory suggesting that anchor points on a 14th-century Templar map of Oak Island could reveal the location of the Money Pit treasure vault. Geographic information system specialist Aaron Helton presents this theory to the Oak Island team, using a 1939 map from Popular Science. The map's boulders and measurements allow for triangulation of the Money Pit's location. Past excavations and evidence are reviewed, and the team discusses confirming boulder alignments for accuracy. The video concludes with plans for further investigation.
