00:00Diver Dan was scuba diving in the Bermuda Triangle when an underwater portal opened up and took him straight to the shores of a beach back in the 17th century.
00:10Walking there, he ran into a huge shipwreck.
00:13The ship's ghost appeared before Dan and told him that he would be cursed unless he could figure out the mystery behind his riddle.
00:20The ghost showed two different combinations of numbers, 1492, 1609.
00:26Now, it was up to Dan to figure out if this was the year of the Great Sea Battles, the years where famous pirates disappeared, or the years where ships sank.
00:36Can you help out?
00:46The last one is the correct answer.
00:48These years are associated with sunken treasures.
00:51In 1492, a ship from Columbus' fleet known as Santa Maria sank.
00:57Then, the Sea Venture sank in 1609.
01:01Dan decided to explore more and found another ship.
01:05Inside, he found clay vessels, stone anchors that were long unused, and a figure in the shape of a deity covered in shells.
01:12If you had to guess, to which civilization did this boat belong to?
01:17The ancient Greeks, the ancient Egyptians, or the Romans?
01:29It was probably an ancient Greek merchant ship.
01:33The Greeks were great seafarers.
01:36Dan found himself on the shore of a deserted island.
01:38That's when a mermaid appeared from the water and told him she could help him find a boat of his own to escape the island.
01:45Well, he just had to guess, which was it that scared sailors while at sea,
01:51made girls want to become younger, and was useful in the household?
01:54A shark, an empty boat, or a scythe?
01:57Can you guess?
01:58The correct answer is a scythe.
02:09The scythe represents the grim reaper, which scares sailors.
02:13It also represents time that's running out, and is a useful tool in households.
02:19Diver Dan arrives on the shores of the Nile River on a ship.
02:23He is met by two women, dressed in fancy gowns.
02:26He knows one of them is Cleopatra, but if he makes the wrong choice, he'll be fed to the crocodiles.
02:33If he gets it right, the queen will tell him how to get home.
02:37The first woman is a dazzling beauty, with perfect facial features.
02:41The second has a slightly plump face, large nose, but her gaze is penetrating.
02:47Which one of them is the real Cleopatra?
02:49The second one.
03:00The real Cleopatra was not a classic beauty.
03:03On coins and busts, she was depicted with a large nose and rather rough facial features.
03:08But she was famous for her sharp mind, charisma, and charm.
03:12A few days into the sea on a new boat, Dan was hit by a storm.
03:18When he woke up, he was in the middle of a desert.
03:21There he found an old wooden ship stuck on the sand.
03:25Examining the boat, he found there were seashells and corals between the boards.
03:30There was dry seaweed and rust, as if the ship had been underwater for a long time.
03:35Judging by what Dan saw, can you guess how the ship ended up in the desert?
03:40Well, there used to be a sea here.
03:51Many deserts were covered with water millions of years ago,
03:54and the dried-up seabeds left behind ships that were buried under the sand.
04:00Dan heard rumors of something strange located on the bottom of the ocean.
04:05He found what looked like ancient roadblocks.
04:07But the blocks were stacked too evenly.
04:10As if it were a street of an ancient city.
04:12There were remnants of destroyed columns and ancient symbols.
04:16If you're a Brightside fan, you'll guess in no time what Dan just ran into.
04:21Can you figure it out?
04:22He ran into the remnants of a sunken city.
04:34One of the most famous examples is Pavlopetri in Greece, one of the oldest submerged cities,
04:40which is about 5,000 years old.
04:43Dan found an old map underwater that led him to a treasure spot.
04:47When he opened the treasure, a huge creature emerged from the depths of the ocean.
04:53It was a sea serpent.
04:54It locked Dan in its tentacles and would only let him leave after solving its riddle.
05:00The riddle was a song that said,
05:02She lies in the darkness, where she shines with her eyes on her hands so brightly.
05:07What was the sea serpent referencing in its song?
05:11An octopus, a conger, or a starfish?
05:23The correct answer is starfish.
05:25Dan met a mermaid that gave him an important task.
05:30He needed to retrieve ancient silver pottery from a sunken city.
05:34Scuba diving, he came across three different paths.
05:37The first path had a shipwreck, and by the looks of it, there were lost parts of wrecks all along the way.
05:44The second path looked darker, and it held the entrance to some scary catacombs.
05:49The last path was paved with rough stones and ruins of old buildings.
05:53Which path should Dan take?
06:05Well, the last path.
06:07If Dan needs to find ancient silverware from an ancient sunken city,
06:11he should take the last path, which will take him directly there.
06:15Diver Dan was exploring another wreck when he found a clay vessel with an untouched scroll inside it.
06:22He could only make out some of the symbols inside it, since water had stained bits of it.
06:27How can Dan decipher the message without ruining the whole thing?
06:32Should he dry it in the sun, place it in distilled water and use infrared scanning,
06:37or knead it with his hands to remove excess moisture?
06:40He could use the technique archaeologists use, which is number two.
06:54They use infrared scanning and distilled water to restore old texts.
06:59One day, diver Dan snuck into a cave where pirates kept their gold.
07:04But to open a chest, he had to solve an ancient code cipher carved into the wall.
07:10There were four numbers on the wall.
07:125, 8, 13, and 21.
07:16The pirates claimed that the next number in the row would open the chest.
07:20What number do you think that was?
07:2226, 34, or 30?
07:24The correct answer is 34.
07:36To figure this one out, you'd need to know the Fibonacci series,
07:39where each number is the sum of the two previous ones.
07:42So, 13 plus 21 is 34.
07:47Diver Dan spotted three old pirate ships.
07:49One with red sails, the other with white sails, and the last without any sails.
07:56One of them still hides gold, so Dan goes to search for some clues.
08:00He finds the captain's logbook with important notes, saying,
08:04The purple seagull went to Jamaica and had silver in it.
08:08The seaghost once had scarlet sails and ran into a storm.
08:12The dragon thunder had yellow sails and carried linen in it.
08:17On which ship should Dan look for treasure?
08:19Well, he should look at the seaghost.
08:31The clue was subtle here.
08:32But on all the other ships, you were told what the cargo was.
08:36Except on the seaghost.
08:38He should start there.
08:40Dan found a gold artifact on the beach.
08:43On its surface, a mysterious coordinate was engraved.
08:47Two, zero, two, one, two, two, two, three, two, four, two, five, two.
08:54Well, what number comes next in the sequence?
08:57It's number six.
09:08You should simply add one after each two.
09:12Diver Dan discovered an old map that led to a powerful portal that could take him home.
09:17The map had three X's marked.
09:19One near the Mediterranean and one near the Indian Ocean.
09:23And can you guess where the last X was pointing to?
09:35It was pointing to the Caribbean.
09:38That's where Dan was when he was sucked in by the portal.
09:41That's it for today.
