What Really Happened in 1699? The True Story of Captain Kidd’s Lost Pirate Gold | Unknown History Ep

Описание: In 1699, pirate-turned-privateer Captain William Kidd made one fateful decision that would become one of history’s greatest unsolved mysteries: he buried a fortune worth hundreds of millions in today’s money along the American East Coast — and then took the secret to his grave.

Join us on this 10-part epic deep-dive as we uncover the true story behind the year 1699: Kidd’s capture of the Quedagh Merchant, the desperate voyage home, the midnight burials under lantern light, his betrayal and execution in 1701, and the 325-year treasure hunt that still captivates the world. From 17th-century longboats to modern ROVs, GPR scans, AI analysis, and the dramatic imagined recovery moment in 2032 — we explore every layer of this enduring legend.

Was the treasure ever really there? Has someone already found it in secret? Or is it still waiting beneath the sand and sea of Long Island Sound?
