Revealing mistake: When Orm presents the weapons to Manta as a water hologram, Manta walks right through the hologram with half of his body. This arm passes through the hologram made of water and even makes a splash sound. However, there is not a single drop of water on Manta's completely dry clothing after this.
Aquaman (2018)
1 revealing mistake - chronological order
Directed by: James Wan
Starring: Nicole Kidman, Dolph Lundgren, Amber Heard, Jason Momoa
Factual error: Aquaman lifts a submerged submarine towards the surface, which should start to sink again straight after releasing it, as its ballast tanks are still full of water. It shouldn't stay floating like that.
Arthur Curry: My parents were of two different worlds, and I was a product of the love that they shared. A son of land, and a son of the seas.
Trivia: The Anabelle doll from The Conjuring, another film of director James Wan, is visible while Mera is taking Arthur to her submarine ship. Blurry but there.
Question: How did others find the trident's location? We know Arthur is the first person to see the clue to the trident's location, so why are there dozens of skeletons of past victims, how did so many others magically stumble across the trident?

Answer: You said it yourself some might have stumbled upon it, others could have used the map, which is why it was hidden in the first place.
How could they use the map when Arthur was the first to find it...quite frankly to stumble on it is impossible, you would have to randomly travel to the trench, go through the entire kingdom, see a tornado of death and decide to go in, get spat out and not eaten, get to shore, check behind a waterfall and follow it down...bit much?
