There’s a contest to win an Indiana Jones set on Blu-Ray and I had to provide the macguffin for the new film. Here’s what I came up with!
Ever hear of Oak Island? It’s an island off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada and is rumoured to house some treasure at the bottom. You can read about it all here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oak_Island, but I’ll give you the short version and how it could relate to Indiana.
When I was a kid, the rumour I read about is that Blackbeard the pirate buried treasure down there so that no one could ever retrieve it. Another rumour is that the stolen jewels of Marie Antoinette lie buried in there somewhere.
The crazy part about this pit is the fact that there were traps built into it…for example, the entire pit would flood if you went past certain points.
How would it fit into the overall films? Well, I have to admit that it would kick some serious ass to see Indiana try and get some of Blackbeard’s treasure as an archaeological dig! Heck, if they can have aliens show up, I’m sure Spielburg, Ford and Lucas can somehow conjure up Blackbeard himself to make an appearance! Sure, we’ve seen Pirates of the Caribean already, but Indiana hunting for Blackbeard’s treasure? That’s a movie I would go see!
