The Sunken Ship Puzzle

Your clues for this puzzle are all dates - and if you've thoroughly explored all the buildings on the island you know that the only place to enter dates is in the planetarium (the stone building to the right of the library). Enter the planetarium, turn around to face the doorway, and click on the blue button to turn off the lights. Turn back around, click on the chair to sit in it, then click on the mechanism above you. Use the sliders to input the three dates that are the clues for this place of protection, then click on the flashing yellow button to view a constellation. Make sketches of the three constellations, then either go back to the library and flip to the end of the blue and brown book on the far right side of the top shelf to see the symbol for each constellation, or refer to the drawings or screen captures you made when you were here earlier. The symbols are snake, bug, and leaf. Exit the library.

 
  After you input one of the dates that you read back in the tower, click the flashing yellow button to view a constellation, then use the book you found in the library to find out the symbol associated with each one.
   

Outside the library you'll notice columns crowned with cubes, and on each cube is a gold plaque with a symbol. Find the ones that have a snake, bug, and leaf and click on each of them - you'll hear the sound of rushing water, and when you turn around you'll notice the once-empty pool that contained only a tiny little ship is filled with water. Hmm, where else did you see a ship? Down by the dock where you started (you should know this from looking out the tower when you set the tower rotation to get the clues). Head down to the dock and board the ship. At the stern you'll see stairs leading to a doorway. Click to open the door and discover the book that takes you to the Stoneship Age.
