Quoted from woody24:I was kinda wondering the same. I mean they tried to drain the shafts before, but they eventually filled back up. So why not test it out again and see if they fill up again, or maybe not as fast?
And the whole stars thing is interesting. I know navigating by the stars was common back then. But I can't imagine what all it would take to measure out and place objects in the exact same location on the ground. I mean, how do you figure out the scale? Goes to show we have it way too easy today. "Google. Navigate to McDonald's."
Also, who else was thinking that they should check that one star point that landed in the water just north of Oak Island?
scale is easy, star 1 is arbitrary distance of one unit from star 2. star 2 is 1.3 arbitrary units from star 3, and so on for all the relevant stars. Angles are easily measured. Pick your start pint on the ground for star 1. assign the arbitrary distance a real distance, say 100 feet. that makes the 2 to 3 distance 130 feet, measure your angles and place things as needed to match. Its very simple. obviously spanning islands would be difficult as they would need to be used as your baseline distance. 2 islands would be pretty easy, beyond that your at the luck of the island distribution.
Quoted from jesster64:True enough, but why move boulders that weigh tons to those specific points. Are they expecting to hide whatever is there for 500 years? For that kind of effort, you could have just stacked up some med sized rocks. Imagine the effort to move that kind of tonnage. Makes no sense.
Hopefully tomorrow they dig the large hole in the right place. Triangulate the box drains back in line and get to it.
they didn't move anything there is more than enough "slop" in the star map to find big rocks in the "right" place in a rocky environment. The star map is just a fun tv diversion. IF they really did move rocks you would move large ones as they would be unlikely to be moved again. A pile of medium rocks is much easier to have accidentally scavenged, or naturally disrupted, over time.

Quoted from PinFever:who needs stinking Dye to track anything , we have tracking devices smaller than a tic tac that can be tracked via satelites and monitoring equipment . If they want to know where something goes use a tracking unit for Budha's sake. WTF!
Stupid show but better than the Orville .LOL Ha
yes satellite tracking works great 200 feet underground...
