The originally dark underwater space had a bend in the water flow, so it wasn't too rapid.
There were some underwater creatures emitting faint glows that Sean had never seen before.
However, he merely glanced at these creatures as his attention was on the sacrificial implements that had sunk to the bottom.
Below, the water had created a hollow place where in addition to various sizes of golden ritual implements, there were many bones—mainly human bones.
Sean guessed that these should also be for sacrificial purposes.
He had read about some ancient Native American traditions in which boys were used as sacrificial objects to request blessings from the gods or to receive their grace, a very cruel practice.
However, primitive tribes around the world all started out in similar ways.
Sean silently mourned for those children for a moment before shifting his gaze to the ship.
He felt that there wasn't much oxygen left in his lungs—he had to get back to the lake surface quickly!
