The hunt escalates when the team realizes the artifact holds a secret map pointing to a vast mineral treasure and ancient documents that could rewrite Mediterranean history. From the Chesapeake Bay to the Middle East, the investigators face off against a ruthless businessman who intends to use these prehistoric secrets to monopolize the global energy market.
