There is supposed to be a curse associated with this particular treasure, one that has been eating away at Crystal Cove and which could destroy it. Professor Pericles claims that it is a treasure beyond calculations and that many have died trying to find it. Inside the Crystal Sarcophagus is an evil Anunnaki that had been behind several of the evil events within Crystal Cove; whenever it spoke, the Black Pearls inside of the Sarcophagus start to rattle. After Scooby awakened from his nightmare, he warned his friends that the treasure was evil and had to be destroyed.
