Caught In A Trap?
It took an entire 8 years for the site to be worked on again, and the second time the work was done by the Onslow company. As their excavations progressed, every 10 feet they found another layer of oak logs and layers of coconut fiber and charcoal. It was after these layers that they found the stone with the fascinating inscription. Just as they were lifting the stone, a rush of water flooded the remaining area. They couldn’t help but wonder if they had been set up and it was all a trap.

Drowning Trap
It seemed like the first signs of a trap because each time the water would be removed, it would refill as soon as the water from the sea came rushing back in. After a closer inspection, the diggers realized that the original builders had created a waterway from the sea to the site. Their intention was obviously to drown out any treasure hunters seeking for the treasure.
