My belief is that there is a search for treasure, and then there is a TV show that needs to occasionally have a little pay off to keep ratings up and advertising dollars flowing in. And the TV people don't give a crap if little things they find are real or not, as long as their audience thinks they're real.
Look, I'd love it if they hit the jackpot and found a vault full of gold and jewels or the Holy Grail or the Ark of the Covenant or Excalibur or whatever, but it's quite likely that they've been doing this for years and haven't found jack shit, but still want to do whatever it takes to keep the cash rolling in.
