I saw something on Unsolved Mysteries or something like it, a long time ago, when they showed video from the Pit, and it purportedly showed a hand/skeleton hand beside a chest. I couldn't see the hand, or the chest, it just looked like murky water, but they talked about it like it was easy to see. I wish I could remember what the show was... Anyway, they said that the next step was excavating it, and I have never heard anything else about the Pit. Like Janey, I've read about this for probably 20-25 years, and have it in a lot of books of unsolved mysteries. My favorite theories:
(Not necessarily believed, just favorite)
- The Pit was built by the Knights Templers to hold the secret that was rescued from Montsegur by the Cathars during the Albigensian Crusade.
- The Pit was built by King Arthur and holds Excalibur. (This is a new one I just read). I won't get into the whole Britian-North America aspect of this...
- It was built by British troops during the Revolution to hold their money
- It was built by exiled French Nobility to hold their treasures.
