Doctor's Pottery Shards

The pottery shards serve as a critical clue, their Mediterranean origin and recent firing date creating a temporal paradox that defies logical explanation. The Doctor’s discovery of these fragments in an environment where they should not exist—both geographically and temporally—hints at a hidden connection between the island’s Atlantean cult and external forces. Their anachronistic nature forces the Doctor to question the island’s timeline and the cult’s experiments, setting the stage for deeper investigation into the fish goddess’s influence and the scientist’s motives.
