REALITY

TREASURE HUNT

Maze-M intends to produce a documentary with VFX experts that won an Oscar while using artistic narrative about the first king of Europe, Sogatur and his gold that was processed for the first time in the world, almost 1 000 years before the civilizations of Sumer and Egypt.

The first glimpse of the gold treasure (more than 3,000 gold objects with a total weight over 6kg) was accidentally discovered by an excavator operator in 1972 and dug by prisoners. Recently further explorations led to more stunning discoveries of magnificent and elegant miniature 22 carat purity gold objects which compel with their very clean and artistic geometric shapes.

The Black Sea is very little explored because it was under the iron curtain. Hence, in the shallow waters of the Black Sea there is yet to find the missing gold treasure of Sogatur which will change the history as we know it.  

THE SEA WAS A LAKE

The Black Sea was once a prehistoric lake, unconnected to the world’s oceans. 

CATASTROPHIC DELUGE

How the lake became flooded and become a sea is still a mistery.

Some scientists have argued that there was a catastrophic deluge. After finding Titanic, Ballard  went to the Black Sea to seek the flooded treasure.

Ballard and others believed that the Mediterenian Sea flooded the lake through Bosphorus. This flood was supported by the melting rivers from the ending of the Ice age and inspired the biblical flood story.

Scientists believe that the remains of the Noah’s Ark are still at the bottom of the Black Sea because of the anoxisity of the Sea (lack of oxigen) . 

RICH EVIDENCE

Along the shores of the Black Sea there is much evidence of early humans.

DISCOVERED GOLD

The people who settled the land were the first ones in the world to discover gold and process it in a very fine jewelry. 

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

In the sea’s hidden depths a few archeologists with very heavy equipment and advanced technology already found shipwrecks from a few centuries back.

However, based on experience and gained knowledge, Val is certain that the gold treasure of the first settlers is in the shallows.

UNEXPLORED SEA

Until today, the Black Sea had very little explorations. Flagged by 6 countries, the Black Sea, for most of the 20th century was hidden behind the Iron curtain.

That is not just a theory. There are numerous discoveries in the shallows of the Black Sea.

WHO IS SOGATUR?

Very little is known about the first King of Europe, Sogatur.

Sogatur’s unreal work for processing gold 1000 years before the first civilizations of Sumer and Egyp still fascinates scientiests. 

Therefore, Maze-M plans to revive Sogatur as an AI-Driven hologram. There is enough data to revive this mega leader.

We can revive Sogatur because our team is a cutting-edge combination of artistry, scientific and technical excellence, with many successfully works in the movie and gaming industry. In our team we have experts that worked on VFX for the Oscar winning “Life of Pi” and “Transformers”.
