- Adam is obsessed with fake documents and paper props created for movies, like Indiana Jones' grail diary, and the titular prop from 2007's National Treasure: Book of Secrets is an incredible piece of movie propmaking. Adam and Prop Store's Brandon Alinger open up the leather-bound pages of the dossier to check out the fictional inscriptions, maps, and wide range of fantastical ephemera packed inside!

Eeerm…it says earn not learn btw…
BUT WHAT'S ON PAGE 47???????
WE NEED TO KNOW!!!!!!!
But did Adam bid on it in the 9th? 😁
@@stevenb7319 website says the prop sold for 27,500 euros
I want, but most likely can't afford. I can only guess this prop will be around the tens of thousands.
As a big fan of National Treasure, it makes me so happy to know all the attention given to this prop well beyond what any movie viewer could see, and that a collector will get to appreciate it all, *and* in the meanwhile letting us all take a peak. But please - tell us what’s on page 47!
Was just thinking the same thing
Why would you not go directly to page 47?
No page 47, but including the picture of the 'Charolette' was neat.
That would've been the first page I turned to :)
What is the significance of 47?
@@Jay22222 If i recall right it was the page he got asked to look at by the President.
@@killzoneisa Thanks.
That explains its significance but I’m still a little confused as to the relevance of “redacting” it or deliberately leaving it out.
@@Jay22222 it was a setup for National Treasure 3. I doubt “page 47” was ever in the original prop, and only existed as a bit of foreshadowing dialogue, but would’ve come into existence at the start of the third movie.
I really love the National Treasure movies, of course, the first being my favorite. Some people really hated on them but that movie actually made people who did not know how cool History is start liking and getting into history and even renewing history lovers intrigue with history.
I understand why they don't like it because it is just run of the mill conspiracy drivel that is connected by the thinnest of threads...
It's not a bad movie. It's a fun family movie. Kind of like, a well made budget Indiana Jones. Nicolas Cage kinda annoys me. Not the biggest fan, but he has played a few good parts. National Treasure is one of them
The beauty of these films is that they are so easy and fun to watch. Are they gonna win any oscars? Of course not, but the purpose of movies is to allow us a chance to disconnect with the real world and enjoy a few hours of fantasy, and these films do that. They’ll never be the IJ series, but a good old fashioned, history based adventure film on a Sunday afternoon sounds like a blast to me.
@@righty-o3585 It's Jon Voight that I can't abide. I just can't seem to separate the horrible human that he is from his acting persona. First and foremost, Voight is an asshole..
@@barbarasmith2693 Cage bugs me because he's just not a great actor. I don't care how he is in real life. John Voight is a very good actor. So he doesn't bug me 😁
Best way to keep secrets is to write them down and include incriminating photos so heroes have a chance to find out your secrets someday.
#Truth
Maybe they were trying to do science and wrote it down.
We have a rule in government. Important conversations don't go into emails, it letters, always verbal as all conversations written down can be summoned
You've discovered the Hollywood way,.. this is how they get people, and why there are so many sex scandals,.. Eyes Wide Shut was Kubrick's favorite for a reason.
@@Chungustav lmfao,.. actually at every official meeting, especially high ranking / confidential ones, minutes are always taken... if you don't know this, then you were being recorded without your knowledge.
Adam is like Riley when Ben is flipping through the pages of the book in the movie... I love it
If they ever do another National Treasure movie, they need Adam to do a cameo as Riley's dad or a past mentor of some sort.
Dude your killing me I thought you would turn to page 47 👀 I waited patiently to see it 😂
Working in a college library, an Easter egg that I geeked-out over was the call number. It started with the letter Y. There no Y-numbers in the Library of Congress system; perfect for a classified designation. Kudos to the writer who knew to incorporate that detail for us book nerds.
Beautiful, that the book has pages never intended to be seen in the movie. If the actors thumbed through it, or dropped a loose insert, there would be something there; no blank pages.
Adam saying he’s not interested in these films was like a dagger in my heart.
Mine too
I love how they are treating this book with the same kind of reverence and care that people use looking at _actual_ historical relics on Objectivity
Me: *Buys National Treasure: Book of Secrets book prop*
Also me: *Puts book in the Non-fiction section at the Library of Congress.*
i bet you a prop maker has done that
Anytime I see a porp like this in a film I always wonder if most of it is actually blank or not. It's cool to see all the detail and creativity that went into filling out the pages of this book even though they knew 99% of it would never be seen.
The book of secrets, the grail diary and the book from seven would be a great set.
Nooo! I wanted them to turn to page 47!?!?
OMG WHATS ON PAGE 47?!?!?
I know right
I've seen a video on youtube somewhere where they interviewed the/a propmaker for the Book of Secrets. He had this amazing workshop with old materials and inks and it was just amazing to see how much he loved his work. When Adam says it smells like an old book I think it because some of the materials are antique. Gosh I just love prop books. I'm always excited to see Adam check out props cause he obviously loves them. Still unbelievably excited that he took a closer look the Moon Knight armor.
I love this. It made me go back and watch both movies. Hopefully we’ll find out what’s on page 47 one day.
What a gorgeous prop. I could spend hours flipping through something like that. Great video Adam!
Tested the man who made this prop is Ross McDonald in Connecticut he specializes in paper props (books, government documents, newspapers etc) Adam should check him out his work is amazingly detailed.
Okay, no joke. National Treasure is one of my absolute favorite movies ever, Nick Cage is a treasure himself!
Adam, this was great. I absolutely love the prop talk.
Thank you!
That’s so cool. I envy you being able to look through it. I never knew that prop makers would put such detail into items that would just have a few seconds on film.
@@bellaamber5559 what the hell is this?
@@3182john Spam.
There is a vibe between these two like they’ve shared a soft kiss
National Treasure was one of my childhood memory, its drama, adventure and mystery is more interesting to me back then than any of Indiana Jones films.
what is on page 47?!
I loved these movies! The first movie had a good adventure.
@ 4:22- 😲 I so did not expect to hear that!
Much respect for saying it & I always felt that many more people are on the same page then expected!
I’m obsessed with this prop for me this is my number one movie prop of all time. I made my own copy of book many years ago. I did four months of research and then made fonts documents photos, handwritten letters different kind’s of paper photographs and put some crazy shit in history which will blow your mind like you just watched a psychological thriller. But never got a chance to print it. Because I didn’t find any professional people who are able to work on the project with the level of detail i am looking for. I need Team Savage for this kind of project.
Whew nice save. For a second there I thought you guys were gonna trash talk “National Treasure” which would be ludicrous since the movie is truly *a national treasure!*
WHAT A GREAT PROP. I had expected it to be ... something a little more. Like a few pages from each President. ... ?
So WHAT WAS ON PAGE 47 OF THE DIARY???? That was one of the unanswered questions from the movie???
The true origin of agent 47, obviously.
@@danelisslow3269 Obviously. But as 47 is a prime number maybe it is the REAL secret behind Prime Numbers ... ?
Always lovely to see Ross Macdonald's work appreciated.
I can appreciate the paper too. In the last couple of days, I was reading through scans of a journal from 1815 by Colin Robertson talking about his journey to the Red River Settlement under the employment of the Hudson's Bay Company. On the pages of the journal, you can clearly see the laid and chain lines, and parts of the watermark are spread across multiple pages (the sheets were cut to make the pages and bind the book). The writing technique is quite beautiful, the spelling of words is interesting (including the use of the long s in some words), and it's a really neat look at history. I learned to appreciate a lot of this stuff, in large part by learning from Adam talking about and appreciating old paper.
I would love this book in a display case, loved the films. Thanks for showing Adam.
Love the respect and how he replaces everything exactly as he found it.
Well, he makes sure it goes back in the same location within the pages, but some of it had it's orientation changed.
One day, when national treasure isn’t famous anymore, someone is going to find this in his grandpa’s secret stash or a bank vault, and it’ll be like the Voynich manuscript all over again…
Until they see the authenticity paper that says National Treasure movie prop.
@@OrAngeAnArchy Or is that what they want you to think? 🤔
@@adamschapiro1549 Have the Certificate that Authenticates the Certificate of Authenticity ready :P
Finally got around to seeing this one. Would of been so cool to see what was on page 47 to see if the prop had the details of what the 3rd film may be about. We still might get it sooner or later.
One of the interesting pages I have made out from this was about the water powered car aside from the alien crash that most of us can see in this video. Apparently someone had made an engine that would just make fossil fuel irrelevant, but the prototype was confiscated for private use and to protect the fuel industry. Funny to think in the context of the movie these things were true.
Wow, how lucky am I? Refresh my youtube page and this was posted 2 minutes ago! I've never been this early! Another awesome video from Savage to make my night better!!
2:14
They're even lying in the book of secrets?
Cmon we all know the aliens in new mexico were Ferengi-
Man I could watch you guys nerding over props all day.
I really wish I could afford this stuff, but everyone knows about these auctions now and it's just making it that much harder to participate in something this cool... :( I would give anything to have something from Indiana Jones. That book reminds me a lot of that movie.
There have been makers who have done HUGE deep dives into this prop and replicated them. I have one and it's amazing.
Any info on where I could source one from. I'd love to have one!!
5:50 my book huffing habit is validated
I wouldn't be surprised if page 47 was removed before they would be willing to give it up for auction, assuming there was a "page 47" in the prop to begin with. They don't want to destroy the possibility of another sequel just like that.
OH i acctually know this there is actually NOTHING on page 47 other then the words PAGE 47 cause they didn't have an acctual idea yet and they didn't want to risk anything getting accidently photographed and baked in
Premise for next movie: The National Presidential Book of Secrets was stolen in January of the year 2020 during the White House riot. We need YOU to retrieve the book to prevent any possibility of international scandal. ...
@@peterkelley6344 seriously just give Ben Gates a Job to help restore lost US History Idk why need he needs to go through national security like the FBI his Frenemy turned Ally Sandusky to get clearance
@@TheHeston83 Some US history are best left... Unknown. Americans aren't the best people in terms of retrospection and treats anything as not fitting the dominant narrative as "fake"...
@@WardNightstone Best part of that is they can always go with the invisible ink or needing special filtered light to read it. Could even bring in the ben franklin specs from the first movie to explain the fact nothing was visible on it.
And that was why the president asked Gates to look into the matter. The way to see what was on the page was missing, so he figures 'hey this guy is going to go find the book anyway. in exchange for getting his interest in THIS thing... lets have a full round of presidential pardons on the table.'
At 4:02 when talking about the NASA documentation Adam goes full John Malkovich.
I love these prop videos!
I really want a closeup of page 47
I have the paper ephemera thing. I've got many of the pages of Richard Croft's journal from the 2018 Tomb Raider, maps from Sicario and from Tomb Raider, but I also have antique rarities... Someone on Ebay put up a diagram for part of the 'PAVEWAY' project in the late 60's this was the first laser-guided bomb! I just had to have that....
Here is a little more on the prop!

Awesome, glad I saw this comment
I'm not really a movie nerd by any stretch. I watch these to see happy Adam nerding out because his joy and enthusiasm is better than prozac.
That prop is amazing.
I have one of the scrolls from the Library of Alexandria from the treasure room in National Treasure 1. It is merely an aged cloth wrapped around a spindle to look like an ancient scroll but hey I can say I have a scroll from the Library of Alexandria and wait for the response. I believe most of the items in that treasure room beyond where the actors stood were 1/12th scale.
What's on page 47?
That’s so awesome they actually filled it with secrets, and not just a bunch of newspaper clippings. 😆
Great prop from a great movie
One of my favorite props of all time.
I was hoping pg 47 would lead to a sequel.
After losing so badly..in the box office...highly unlikely. The antagonist is not aging well and is likely going to be unavoidably detained for a period of time.
They are working on it now.
I understand Adam I'm also obsessed with the President's secret book ever since I saw the movie it's my favorite piece of props...
This was the movie series that got me into history. But my question was what was on page 47?? (Movie question)
Absolutely nothing but the page number.
Imagine someone finding this book 1000 to ears in the future
I, too, have a passion for paper ephemera. I can describe what I like about it, but I can't explain to you WHY I like it.
National Treasure is one of my favorite movies!
If I had this prop, the first thing I would’ve done is go to page 47
That’s a stunning prop
What was on page 47 Book of Secrets?
Excellent piece. Only thing I’d of done is 200+ years ago the seal on the front would of been tooled or stamped/embossed.with a engraved plate.
National Treasure movies are National Treasures! I love em all. I imagine someone left clues to things somewhere I am sure of it.
Would love to see Adam replicate this prop!
National treasure made me start to like history now I love it and I seen one of the props from the movie. It’s just so fascinating to me also in my opinion, I like the second one better. But that’s only because I like the Lincoln assassination a lot.
Ah yes, another amazing video
Adam, you need to make one of these
Plot twist: It's a real book disguised as a movie prop
Really thought this was an Objectivity video when I saw it in my watch later playlist
I love this prop
You would think that they would make 2 copies of this book specifically with the original one being in the white house and the copy of it going to the natural history museum
Thanx for sharing. Adam what are the chances of you doing a One Day build on making a aged Journal?
I wonder if the prop for the Grail Diary still exists. It would be fun to get a video on it.
Ross MacDonald is a true craftsman 👏👏👏
Both where so right at the end, prop makers get so little effort for the great work they do, sometimes even direct their own films
I would love to have a replica of that... I wanted it since I saw the movie as a kid.
I hope you can do a follow up where you give the sale prices of items you featured
I'm really hoping for a 3rd film. I actually really like the first two.
The good thing about my memory of movie details is that I don’t remember them very well. So, I can watch a movie years later and it like a new movie. All these comments about “page 47”. I’m like what in the heck is that about? Got me thinking about watching again.
YOU SHOULD HAVE LOOKED AT PAGE 47 ADAM!!!
Fun fact: Page 47 is actually blank in the acutal prop, as Ross MacDonald wanted it to be left to the viewer's imagination.
There’s just something about old journals that hits differently.
04:34 the exact moment you hear the photo peel off the road map sheet
Would love to see some props from Galaxy Quest !
Page 47 contains the most sought out secret of all. How they get the caramel into the caramilk bar. 😂
Or how many licks it actually takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. The world may never know, but I bet Nick Cage can help with that. 😂
You can buy it a copy from this, the prop Master from the Set is Ross MacDonald and make fantastic props!
Is not the screen used but costs only 1,5k$
I desperately need Adam to run us through his Kurtz dossier replica!
Looking at this and seeing the flying saucer blue print and Alien photo. I wonder if those where Easter Eggs the makers put in there hoping to see in the film as inside jokes.
We love the national treasure movies at our house. They’re just good fun, and I find it hard to be mad at them. They aren’t all that serious, they’re just entertaining
Every generation needs its own version of that kind of film, and for anyone the first of the type you ever see will always hold a special place. In the archeo-adventure genre, mine was Romancing the Stone (which I saw before Indiana Jones, even though it was made 3 years later.)
Love the prop store. Ive bought quite a few and while im pre approved for the auction as usual i have to hold off on buying more as my wallet is still crying in my pocket. "Feed me!" It says. I do, but im also always using it Xp
First one i bought was a sword from the Warcraft movie
You time this with the Freeform Channel to air close together?
cant stop looking at the book. are they auctioning off back to the futures hover board?
We need to see page 47!!
Adam needs to make one of his own.
Still waiting for a sequel
Just watching this now. Does anyone know what the final bid price was?
Conspirator 1: "How do we keep this thing, too powerful for release, from ever seeing the light of day?"
Conspirator 2: "Well, let's divide it into many parts. And scatter the parts around the globe."
Conspirator 1: "Excellent idea."
Conspirator 2: "We can seal the parts in buried vaults, protected with booby traps."
Conspirator 1: "Great, great!"
Conspirator 3: "And we can intricately document the locations of the vaults, and construction of the traps, with instructions on how to defeat them. Then obfuscate the information with an easily deciphered system of riddles, based on common public information."
Conspirators 1 and 2: In unison, "BRILLIANT!"
