I gave this artifact a 4. This was hands down, one of the best episodes of Season 1. Unfortunately, the artifact was less than impressive. It was just your typical Season 1 prop that didn't even look like a map. It looked like a scroll, which was easily the most overused artifact in Season 1. Also, wasn't this prop reused for the Treasure Map of Jean Lafitte? Although neither artifacts really look alike. While the artifact does
sort of look like a map, it's uninspiring and extremely boring to look at. But when it comes to Season 1 map artifacts, I guess you can't expect much. Too bad, because this is my all time favorite Season 1 episode, at least after Lawrence of Arabia.
So, I decided to cover this artifact today instead of Blackbeard. And I
really don't want to cover two terrible map artifacts in a row. So Blackbeard won't be covered at all for another two days. The Lion-Slashed Jacket comes tomorrow. Hope you don't mind. Though since this is two Season 1 map artifacts in a row we're talking about, I'm sure you won't. You're welcome.
