The Beale Ciphers
The notion of a map to hidden riches is among the most alluring in human history. How wonderful it would be to discover the key to buried riches that were available for the taking. That is the allure of the Beale Ciphers, a collection of three cryptic manuscripts that claim to contain the key to a gold and silver treasure trove worth millions.
One of the three sentences has been deciphered, while the other two remain a mystery. The location of the treasure is described in the first unanswered text. The third describes who the treasure's owners are in full detail. However, the only text that has been solved describes the prize's characteristics, which is how everyone is aware that the treasure even exists.
The legend claims that in the 1820s, a man by the name of Thomas Beale buried some valuables in Virginia. He handed the innkeeper the encrypted messages before disappearing and going completely unreported. It is said that the innkeeper maintained the sealed box of ciphers for many years before deciding to open it and examine what was within. He handed them to a friend before he passed away.
In the 1880s, this friend released all the writings in a pamphlet after failing to crack the code himself. That made the enigma accessible to everyone with the knowledge to solve it. You can find the ciphers online, and if you can crack them and the treasure is real, you might make around $60 million in the form of several thousand pounds of gold and silver as well as more than $1 million worth of gems.
Just be aware that many people, including those who sought the assistance of psychics to complete the task, have attempted and failed throughout the past century.
