Outer Banks Season 4: Real History vs. Fictional Treasure Hunt

Get ready for another wild ride with the Pogues in Outer Banks season 4! This time, they're hunting for legendary treasures linked to the infamous Blackbeard, but are these treasures real? Let's dive in!

Blackbeard's Mysterious Amulet

The season kicks off with a quest to find Blackbeard's amulet, supposedly given by him to his wife, Elizabeth, before his death on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The amulet is said to hold the key to an even more significant prize: the legendary Blue Crown. However, history buffs might be disappointed to learn there's no historical record of this amulet ever existing! No historical records can really point to this ever existing!

Outer Banks takes some liberties in rewriting history to spice things up. Blackbeard's actual existence is historical fact, along with his death on the Outer Banks. Many details around his life, death, and possessions however are pure fiction to generate conflict for the characters of the show.

The amulet described in Outer Banks has a message inscribed in Arabic – nothing like this exists historically
Elizabeth, Blackbeard's wife in the show's storyline is a completely fictional character. There is evidence that Blackbeard married Mary Ormund, but this information remains in dispute and doesn't match up exactly.

The search for the amulet leads the Pogues to hunt for the legendary Blue Crown. According to Outer Banks' lore, this crown predates the time of Darius the Great by over 3000 years! That makes it extremely rare!

The show claims it has incredible power and gives the wearer:

Immense favor
Invincibility
The ability to grant wishes!

It has belonged to several historical figures, and apparently ended up in Blackbeard's possession.

However, here's the thing- this magnificent Blue Crown only exists in the realm of the Outer Banks Fictional universe!

There's plenty of interest about this legendary Treasure hunt in this popular show and may very well become an even greater search and adventure as more viewers find its rich lore fascinating and are wanting even more.
