Oh ... here's something else.
Remember I mentioned that the pit flooded? Well it turns out that, at about 110 feet down, the treasure hunter people encountered another shaft that connects to the money pit at about 90 degrees and runs horizontally all the way to the ocean. Clearly, this was a booby trap created by the people who originally dug the shaft in order to flood the shaft should anyone attempt to dig the treasure out. Cool, huh?
It behooves us to recall that the ancient Egyptians did this kind of thing all the time ... set booby traps, I mean.
