Did a Sawpit start the Legend?

[TruthbeTold]

Robot’s favorite oak island storyline was that the money pit contained Sir Francis Bacon’s tomb (yeah I know).

He was even promoting selling models of the fictional tomb.

I do not how he came to such a conclusion. After the accession of James I in 1603, Bacon was knighted, then created Baron Verulam in 1618 and Viscount St Alban in 1621. He had no heirs, and so both titles became extinct on his death of pneumonia in 1626 at the age of 65. He is buried at St Michael's Church, St Albans, Hertfordshire.

Well what can I say.

But it does nightlight the problem any serious researcher now facing the original treasure story is sinking under the weight of conspiracy theories.
There is so many unfounded claims been have been taken as true and re-posted as fact.

Sadly for me with all the enthusiasm Robot had the only thing he achieved was bury the topic in confusing swamp conspiracy theories.
