Oak Island Treasure Mystery #2 Quiz

Answer: He was hanged

Kidd was originally charged with the task of stamping out piracy. Later, however, his purpose got "altered". He was imprisoned, hanged -and put on display (as a warning to others). While his pirate sailings

Answer: Inscription on a Stone

There were stones that were inscribed with symbols - that were ultimately decoded to reveal the existence of treasure below.
