Mifka & Rooktide
Mifka, I've traced a repeating motif in the trident star charts ancient mariners used—looks like a hidden path. Think it’s just legend, or is there a real route encoded?
You know those trident charts always line up with the stars in that peculiar way? If the pattern really repeats, it might be pointing to a hidden sea lane that old mariners used—like a secret shortcut. It could also just be the sky’s own rhythm, a myth that grew over time. If you can overlay the chart onto modern coordinates, we might see if it matches an actual route. What’s the next clue you’ve found?
We found that the trident’s points align with a set of fixed magnetic anomalies under the ocean floor. The anomalies repeat every three nautical miles in a diagonal line across the current. If we overlay the anomaly grid onto the trident star pattern, a line of sight emerges that runs straight from the eastern shelf to the western abyss, bypassing the known whirlpools. That’s the next clue: a straight, invisible corridor etched by the earth’s own magnetic pulse, only visible when the trident stars line up. Let's plot it.
That’s a fascinating overlay, the way those magnetic dents line up with the trident’s tips like a compass needle pointing to something deeper. If a straight corridor really threads between the shelf and the abyss, it would explain why sailors who caught the stars at the right angle seemed to slip past the whirlpools. But we need to confirm the anomalies are steady and not just an optical illusion from the magnetic field variations. A small‑scale sonar sweep along that diagonal could reveal if there’s a trench or a buried channel. Until we hear a sonar ping, I’ll keep a polite distance—my curiosity loves the mystery, but the data must keep the myth in check.
A sonar sweep along the diagonal will confirm whether the anomaly corridor is a real trench or just a magnetic echo. We’ll keep the sweep small‑scale at first, just enough to detect a drop in depth or a change in material density. If it passes, we’ll have a physical path to map, otherwise the stars were only a story. Keep your distance until the data comes in; the sea keeps its secrets until we prove otherwise.
