Yeah.

I think I have to do Edmund Fitzgerald this year because it's the 50th anniversary this year of the Edmund Fitzgerald, November 11th, 1975.

I think it's the 11th.

Maybe it's the 9th.

Okay, guys, I'm sorry.

I don't remember the exact date.

Oh yeah, this is something that happens like across the world.

The whole world is building dams and then flooding river valleys.

And as a result, you end up with these preserved dams

towns or trees or things that are underneath the water.

I think that the most famous one in the United States is Lake Lanier.

I think Lake Lanier is interesting because it has like a history of like the town that was flooded was a majority black community.

But I think it has a reputation of being kind of the most iconic of these places.

flooded reservoirs, but there's supposedly a town at the bottom.

Supposedly they're supposed to move the graves and like relocate these towns and these communities and the dead, but they don't necessarily always do that.

And we don't always know where people are buried.

And so there's kind of this, this idea that we're kind of submerging these entire histories underneath the water, like Lake Mead, there was like an entire town that got,

Completely flooded and it reappears as the lake levels kind of drop.

So we had like, I did Lake Mead in 2022 because it was like the lowest lake level we'd ever seen of Lake Mead.

And there was like all sorts of gross stuff that was kind of popping up, like a barrel that was full of human remains.
