    There is a great 2 hour movie/documentary where Petter goes in depth and on the real treasure hunt. The movie is called:
    Seven Steps To Mercy - Cracking The Shakespeare Code. I highly recommend it to all of you who thought this video to be remotely interesting.

      I came here after that documentary. I mean, it took me so much into it I almost started dreaming and thought this must be a fiction movie. But now I see that....yeah it has got matter to it.
      The TREASURE ISLAND things we used to dream about in our childhoods were....not so dreamy at all.

    This theory is tantalizing. I was a skeptic but Petter has convinced me that maybe there really is something to his madness.

    There is a Timeline three part episode that REALLY goes into this. It's really interesting. This man is a church organist and skying instructor, who happens to be a crazy bright cryptographer. He is STEEPED in Shakespearean lore, and has combed through a copy of The First Folio, finding a large number of signs showing that Shakespeare had help from Bacon and Nevil. He has found enough evidence to make Shakespearean experts start to ask questions.
    He is not a quack, he is just going down a different rabbit hole than the rest of us.

      I watched that. The narrator was trying so hard to debunk it but at the end becomes a reluctant believer. It's an amazing documentary.

      I agree this fine gentlemen is no quack. However, this short monologue is very difficult to understand. The three part documentary is much more persuasive and extremely interesting. I've seen it in full several times. It sure has got me by the Bacon.

      ​@@crashtestdummie67The actor is named Robert Crumpton. He is English but lives in Spain. He is not a Shakespeare scholar, as he makes a number of fundamental mistakes no Shakespeare scholar would (like the number of surviving copies of the First Folio). He was obviously following a script. If he actually has a PhD, there's no record of it anywhere on his social media, making him the only PhD in history not to broadcast the fact. If you ever watch that program, you'll see a whiny little ginger who represents the establishment and who freaks out as the mere layman confounds him. It's not even GOOD fiction.

    I have never read a lick of Shakespeare in my life that I comprehended, and very little at that did I read other than what was forced upon the begetter! In two. Of my high school years , but with that said I am a avid oak island fan (history channel documentary) and what you have put forth is absolutely amazing and brilliant, you sir somehow are the chosen one, it's not like the TREASURE hunters think on the subject of "seven people must die " they are thinking about it all wrong, it's all about 7 steps to completing "TT" (TREASURE map" ...the map could not be completed until Shakespeare or Bacon died(I don't have much understanding about why,who,or why as I'm just now finding you and your work)

    There is no code because there is no secret. Shakespeare from Stratford wrote Shakespeare. Try directing his plays as I do for a living. The plays and poems have one voice: that of a Warwickshire man who went to London to seek his fortune and knew the amateur actor rural 'bellows menders" of this world. (Spot the reference if you can!).

      Yes, true that. But here comes the funny part. Once you've recognized a pattern, and it appears to be correctly recognized, other patterns will start to unfold and reveal themselves from that particular point.

      You can find whatever you choose to find if you're the one making the rules. I've seen Alexander's contrived methods: let's do this here, see it works! But because the same doesn't work somewhere else, we'll do something different... why do that and not an infinite of other options? Why didn't I use the same method consistently and always had to create excuses for exceptions? Don't think about that.
      I'm open to questioning the authorship (there are good arguments out there, such as works that were first published in Shakespeare's name, but now are considered to be someone else's), but it seems that the people who find credit in Alexander's methods are the ones want it to be true or find some of pleasure in the conspiracy.
