Message:: [QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1865654, member: 25270"]I wasn't aware of this show until now but I remember reading about this story when I was younger. I was just reading about it again on the internet and I think it's really fascinating. Unless you just totally disbelieve everything anyone has said about it, it's hard to deny there is a lot of weirdness here. Someone went to an awful lot of trouble to create a pretty elaborate pit with booby traps and whatnot at least 200 years ago. I think sometimes they get focused on the wrong things, like whether there is a body that was spotted on camera or if the Knights Templar were involved. If you focus on what is actually there, there is still plenty to get your attention. You have these oak layers every ten feet for at least 100 feet, the rock with the writing on it, a piece of parchment that was brought up in a drill sample from 130 feet down, possible reports of gold found there, coconut fibers all over the place when the nearest coconuts are thousands of feet away ... this sort of thing really fascinates me. What frustrates me is that from what I read, they did these drill samples a long time ago and I'm afraid they might have damaged whatever is down there. What if it really was the Ark of the Covenant and someone broke the seal with a drill and now it is destroyed? To me this is far too elaborate for pirate treasure.[/QUOTE]
