Cathar Treasure on Oak Island

RecordOBS-0694
CategorySecret Societies/Groups
StatusUNPROVEN
SummaryThe theory that the Cathars, a medieval Christian sect, entrusted their treasures, including the Holy Grail and Ark of the Covenant, to the Knights Templar, who later hid them on Oak Island.
OriginThis theory was explored in Season 2 of The Curse of Oak Island, but it has roots in medieval legends about Cathar treasures.
Claimed
  • The Cathars possessed the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant.
  • They gave these treasures to the Knights Templar for safekeeping.
  • The Templars eventually buried them on Oak Island.
Evidence / consensusThere is no historical evidence that the Cathars had such relics, nor that they were passed to the Templars. The Holy Grail and Ark are legendary.
> OBSERVER NOTE:
A derivative of the Templar theory, equally lacking in evidence. The Cathar connection is speculative.
