Few things to ponder......its 2:45 am and i cant sleep.

First question ide like to pose.


How come spain is claiming the treasure of the Odyssey. It submitted proof in court that the ship was of spanish origin. I want to know why,if they had proof of the ship being theirs, did they not salvage it themselves. How long is this political piracy going to be allowed to continue. I mean,this company spent the time to research it,find it and salvage it. It should be theirs and no self respecting court should even think of hearing otherwise.


Next late nite ponderance. If thats even a word. lol.

If someone was to find the holy grail and without a doubt it could be confirmed to be the grail,would it be the finders?


How many people here think it should be donated. How many people here think it would be the property of the finder.

How many people here would destroy it to keep it from falling into the wrong hands??

Far fetched i know but i saw some new headlines earlier and they got me thinking.

I woke up at 230 and got up at 3. About the Odyessy, I aint got a clue but the Holy Grail I would think would be finders keepers. But if I found it I wouldnt keep it. It would have to be donated to the Smithsonian so everyone could see it. I wish I could go back to sleep...d2

No one will ever find the holly grail because it could never be verified as such.

MD thats why i said if it could be absolutley proven. Im speculating here. Not being totally serious. Excpet for the part about the spanish.


I personally would keep it. Sell it to the highest bidder and if i got a whiff of someone trying to claim it....it would become lost again...only this time it would never be found.

No, Spain would claim it as theirs.

How many people here think it should be donated. How many people here think it would be the property of the finder.

I would put it on eBay and start a bidding war.

I would love to see someone find the arc of the covenant. Hope it is not really in a Gov. warehouse like the Indiana Jones movie..... Just a thought. Hope this does not give you any more sleepless nights.

Why would Spain spend all the time & money to research & recover the Odyssey when they can sit on their haunches till someone else does all the work for them?

If you found the grail & tried to stash it, I bet you'd disappear faster than you could make the Grail disappear again

Ray these topics didnt give me sleepless nights. I started thinking of them on a night when i couldnt sleep for medical reasons.


And if i found the grail I wouldnt breath a word of it to anyone. I would set up dummy email address's at our library where you dont have to register to use the computers to feild offers.

The larger the country, the more power they can exert. Spain is a major power and I doubt very much if any court would go against them in neutralizing their claim to a ship that sailed from their ports, particularly if the ship was carrying anything that belonged to the government of that period. It's like it's theirs into perpetuity even if they don't do anything to look for it. The company that found it needs a lawyer like the type you see in movies that find loop holes in loops!

The holy grail never existed as a physical object. It's a romantic tale created by one or more persons. Documentaries are regularly seen on TV showing the history of all of the acclaimed grails, so far. If you're thinking of the grail as being associated with the Jesus of the New Testament, keep in mind that there is no evidence for this Jesus nor any of the alleged personalities or events. That was created 50 to 100 years after the alleged events and there is no evidence whatsover to support them.
