First they plunder and commit murder throughout the Americas. Steal vast amounts of gold and ship it back, but boat sinks with booty. Fast forward a couple hundreds years, sign an agreement with OMEX, are invited on board to see for themselves the operations of salvaging. Decide not to come on board to see for themselves. Then when the treasure is discovered, they claims it's theirs. What imbeciles... Typical arrogance from Spanish goverment and their citizens!

Someone has to challenge Spain's looting of Ancient American culture! Look at what they did to the natives of America - Spain murdered literally MILLIONS of innocent people, then forced the rest to adopt their psuedo-Christian Catholic religion, just like Muslims are trying to do today! The people of Central and South America suffer to this day, due to the plunder of Spain. I am not surprized at the arrogance of the Spanish government. Instead of giving the silver to Spain, I say, Spain should pay the people of Central and South America restitution! Bravo to Odyssey Marine Exploration!

So where do you suppose all of that Gold and Silver originally came from? Have you ever considered that the native peoples of Central and South America might have a much more legitimate claim to this Treasure than the Spanish Government, since Spain stole it from them in the first place! History is a beautiful thing isn't it! Also, You have to be kidding to try to interject Iraq into this. Virtually all of the "cultural items" stolen in Iraq were stolen by Iraqi's and sold in Europe. It is great to have an opinion, but your argument would be much better if it was backed up by facts. Oh really? So where do you suppose all of that Gold and Silver originally came from?
