My sentiments exactly. They know where it's at. They have current video of it. They're showing it so whatever pressure there was doesn't seem to be an issue to get video of it. And gold is not their Holy Grail. Blood is. And it doesn't belong to any government. It belongs to Indigenous families.

imagine being the American company that found it first only to see the Columbian government do their own search after realizing they had a valuable shipwreck in their territory. that American company should had just taken it without saying anything to the government.

@offthewallsurfer1 7 месяцев назад

Mmmm, there is something called territorial and or international waters, just like there is airspace that’s “owned” by countries. The Colombian government and people have every right to this treasure, it was theirs to begin with some 300 years ago as the Spaniards stole it from Colombian natives at that time. Not everything is about the good ole USA. And even if we got to keep that treasure, do you actually think the US Government would give us Americans 1/2% of that 20 billion? C’mon.

@675R1 7 месяцев назад

Supposedly they found it in 1982 but all of a sudden now that Colombia wants to take it out of the sea floor they come forward claiming the USA found it first?

To be precise: It was not Colombia at that time, all south American land (except Brazil and the Guyanas) was part of the Spanish empire, so legally, the treasure was not stolen. And, slave force was the common labor for the time, also for the English, Dutch and French that colonized the Americas, so the comment they made is irrelevant for the news release.
