They say that 10,000 years ago, the island wasn't an island at all. Rather, it was part of a peninsula and sea level was about 45 feet below its current point. This means that the pirates didn't have the flooding problem that the treasure hunters have had.
It seems as though there must be something of value down there due to the various points where these log/coconut/putty/stone platforms are found. I mean, why would they be there? Some of that material is not indigenous to the area. Plus, the only possible reason to install these "blockages" is either to dissuade diggers or protect something, right?
