The movie is called Sweet Swan Of Avon - A Movie About the Greatest Mystery in Global Literature.

From the Davincy code to the Shakespeare code. The Oak Island`s Money Pit, Halifax in Canada, is the site of the world's longest running hunt for lost treasure. The two Norwegian authors, Petter Amundsen and Erlend Loe, of the book Organisten, claim to have proved that William Shakespeare stands behind the big mystery. Their theory is that Shakespeare represented a group of scientists and poemers, and that they buried some of Shakespeare’s manuscripts underground on Oak Island because that they were controversial at that time.

For around 20 – 30 years ago, maybe longer, treasure hunters realized that the mysterious constructions at Oak Island were intelligent made. Now it’s believed that the Money Pit is a small piece in a big puzzle, and that the whole Oak Island is full of hidden constructions. They are all constructed based on an advanced code system that needs to be solved. If the Norwegian organ player Petter Amundsen has right about the Shakespeare Code, then the world history has to be rewritten.

The Cathedral at Katedros Sq 1 in Vilnius is one of the absolute highlights. I stepped in first and foremost for exploring the catacombs, but it was also interesting to experience a ceremony on a Sunday.

Later the Cathedral has been rebuilt several times.

Theory points to possible connection with nearby Birch Island. For the past two centuries, the tunnels of Nova Scotia`s Oak Island have piqued the imagination of historians and treasure hunters alike. Now, a new theory by First Nations researcher Keith Ranville may add fresh speculation to the mystery. Based on a unique reading of an inscription once found in the Money Pit, Mr. Ranville believes that the answer to the riddle may be found on nearby Birch Island.

On my second day in Casa I call Meki, the cab driver who picked me up at the train station on my arrival the day before. He spoke good English and said he would give me a tour of the city for a price we agreed in advanced.

I had only just arrived in Casablanca - Casa to locals - and decided to get straight into the heart of it. I wandered through the teeming medina, where you can buy anything from sweet dates to leather goods to MP3s of the latest Maroc hits - then out into the city and into a giant slum area. I have to admit I was a bit nervous. I just kept walking like I knew where I was going and eventually found myself near the sea.
