FAQ

Q. If Shakespeare didn’t write all those plays, who did?

A. Shakespeare, as I see it, was a project consisting of two primary authors and one front man. The authors, based on the cryptographic indications I claim to have found, were Sir Francis Bacon and Sir Henry Neville. We all know who the front man was.

Q. Why all the secrecy, couldn’t they just have written that Bacon and the Rosy Cross were behind this?

A. The English renaissance was a period where daring authors could face dire consequence. And if this was a humanistic educational project, what better could the Rosicrucians do than have a commoner front the plays? If they were aristocrats, it was considered inappropriate for a lord to print his verses.

Q. In the film it is stated that BACON has the value of 33. I get it to be 35. How come?

A. In Shakespeare’s days they used an alphabet of 24 letters. I and J are one and the same, sharing place number 9.

Q. What do you expect to find in Oak Island?

A. Nothing. I think the best thing to do is to investigate, and explore the matters as thoroughly as possible, and then make a museum/park there if the theory still stands. The exhuming of that particular treasure spells disaster.

Q. Why do you think the University circles are so against your project?

A. My ideas come from a non-academic player. And they are too radical. I quote Dr. J. E. Joseph, Head of Linguistics and English Language Studies, University of Edinburgh, reviewing in the TLS for March 23rd, (p.15)”…neither of them was labouring under the economy of originality that operates in a university, where one is allowed to stray only so far from received views.”

Q. How did you come up with the idea of starting this code project?

A. I was analyzing a novel written by W.D. Gann about market trading. In its foreword he says he used concealed writing. Bacon’s method for secret writing is a classic, and was part of my self-tutoring.
