The real treasure was the revenue from the book.
I'm not gonna bother trying. But, I trust you will let us know when it's solved
@@stephenhurd1489 Stanford/Google will probably solve it soon, they have Time Crystals now so i expect to hear some mind blowing news in the next few years.
Is this stuff still unsolved?
Imagine if it translates to “the real treasure was the friends we made along the way ”
I would murder all of them.
It's not the destination, It's the journey
So one piece
"The real treasure is the absurd amount of time you've spent to decipher it which you will never get back".
i think you've just solved the One Piece
Also let's be honest if somebody was smart enough to actually solve the ciphers and track down the treasure, they were probably smart enough to not publicly announce it 😭
Lol
The others will announce it, 😆
I don't know why, but this comment reminded me of The Game.
Exactly what I was going to comment ,both dead and undead relatives/partners of expdition crew and all involved would showup on your doorstep asking for their cut.
@David Smith that would be sick.
I just deciphered it. It's the lyrics to Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up".
I have actually solved it.... watch BBC or Sky News I'm the morning, maybe CNN
Yea I got second place they’re right
Truly, they were ahead of their time
Look up Cheif Double Heads treasure in cave in Alabama or Tennessee. Elgin. Lauderdale county Alabama. You’re going to love it. My ggg grandfather Daniel White. Bought a saloon near blue water creek. Now Elgin Al Where I have tons of history My mother’s a 🧬 ologist well hobby kind but. Check it out
Someone called….
It would be funny if Beale retrieved the treasure himself without notifying the innkeeper…
That is one of the popular theories, that Beale or someone else with knowledge of the location retrieved the treasure. There would be no need to bother with the encrypted documents if that was the case.
Thats why if you solve the Cypher, the best thing you could do is sell the key and not chase the treasure
Polak??
@@awkwardllama0509 why not chase the treasure and then sell the key?
Same token I think they would of left atleast 1% of something which because of the story would mean it would be worth a 1000% of its original.
So they travelled about 2000 miles , dug up a pile of gold , retraced those 2000 miles , then buried the pile of gold .
Methinks Beale had nigerian royal blood in his veins .
My thoughts exactly 😂
I think the person who sold it has Jewish blood in him 🤔
Ah I get it.
He solved the puzzle, found the treasure, pretended he didn't, and made more money off that premise.
Or more likely the whole story is fake.
No its fake. The person was selling a dream. That’s some next level of genius if he able to scam so many people.
plot twist, the puzzle doesn't lead to any treasure.
The biggest argument for this being a scam is the common sense fact that miners would not bury gold but spend it . It's a ludicrous story proving that scamming is not new and that Barnum's words were true then as they are now "There's a sucker born every minute"..
There is long history thousands of years of people burying their valuables for protection if you thought there was a chance someone was going to rob you wouldn't you put it in a hole that you know where it was so that they couldn't
There's certainly suckers born every minute...like the ones who believe everything the mainstream media and the government say and believe that they care...
"A fool and his money are soon parted" except nowadays you can swap time on the place of money.
I like to think the cipher is real, but the key was in something so innocuous and mundane, like probably the local newspaper or a diary, that Thomas knew no matter how much anyone tried, nobody could ever hope to open it.
Although the most incredible part of the story, and strongest point of doubt, is not the size of the treasure itself, _but how none of the original explorers betrayed and killed each other for it._ People have done far worse for so much more less, so who knows, lolz.
The key will be something that the families know about. A favorite bedtime story, a popular book or even the family Bible. (there are so many different versions)
As for your second point, they might have killed each other. There is no trace of the expedition before, during or after.
It's is almost like it was a pact between brothers in arms in a sense.
I agree with what you said about the cyper is real and might be in a news paper or what not.
But I do think it could be a treasure buried but it's wealth I'd the knowledge used to find it.
First example the second cypher is the well what most Americans find the most important text. So if this is the first but the first is the second. And it could all be mixed up what is the second and third most important text?? 🤔
I think they would have some bible play in it maybe for the first cypher but the 3rd no ideas.
You're on to something there if it's all true that is...if it was me I'd use my diary (if I used one) as its the most personal item to an individual so therefore less chance of it being found. I personally think its a load of pot wash but if it turns out to be true then I'll be dammed 😂
*"Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead."* - Benjamin Franklin
It was probably the birthdate of a relative or something along those lines. Might also of been the year in which it was buried. Also, many people don't believe in curses but.. Bastards killed each other for it. It's 100% cursed.
S'pose.... the old weasel had two indecipherable messages, and to enable his scheme made up the decipherable and deciphered third one? I think whatever stash was hidden all those years ago was probably found by chance by people who never told a soul about their find.
I almost always feel I’m watching a documentary in cartoon fashion with this channel! Quite fun if I should say. 😃
I found him today and am in love. Usually I don’t learn anything on UA-cam. But watching him it’s interesting and keeps me watching to the end props to him
Yeah it's a pretty quality channel to be fair 👍💯
You are easily entertained then
@@foopadr9076 seems that way 👍

I think Beale was the biggest troll in history
Quite the intriguing story. A true mystery, to be sure. I'm really curious to know how you stumbled about this mystery. I live in the United States and I've never heard of it until now.
By the way, I love your channel and your stories. The way you tell them is captivating.
Try the Bible
There are other UA-cam channels that have done stories about this.
Nothing mysterious about it. It's an obvious scam...
@@BryceHomier17 I kinda have the feeler too. Maybe it is a little more complicated than that...

I got here on time! First time ever. I've been watching your videos a lot lately. Your narration skill and facial expressions is a knack! Nice! 😅
I think his narration is on point too! Shout out from the U.S I watch your videos all the time you fill my brain with euphoric and new found information like a zap to my head I appreciate the time and dedication you take into making your UA-cam videos! Your work is valued and appreciated.
Even assuming the story is true, someone could have figured out the code and grabbed the gold decades ago. Or one of Beale's team went and retrieved it, and had the good sense to keep his mouth shut.
Yep, probably the gold is gone!
With that amount of money, you could get enough gas to fill two cars up
Sheesh that's a lot of money
@@hisamuslu9788 And a lot of gas!
You're confusing your inflating fiat currency with gold and silver which has real value and isn't attached to the petro dollar.
Hah!! That's funny, because nobody owns TWO cars... Fuel is too expensive...
@@evelynn4273 You're taking a joke too seriously.
Forget the ciphers, with extensive land explorations/developments and the ubiquitous availability of a myriad of advanced technological gadgets and detection methods, no buried treasure of that size would have remained hidden for that long.
The biggest problem to this story is that no average joe on Earth is going to bury a couple tons of gold and silver and walk away. Every last one is going to cash in and start spending.
Then there is the logistical problem of moving such treasure across a thousand miles of rivers, mountains and roadless terrain. Let's not forget about the Comanches that stood between them and Virginia, or the Mexican government, which regarded such adventurers as pirates, and executed them if they caught them.
This is just a hoax.
Only 70% of the take was buried outside what is now called Thaxton Va.
i’ve been binge watching your content since a week. my youtube screen time 3 hours a day 😂 your narration skills are insane, absolutely love your channel!
love from india
only 3 hours?
You gotta bump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers.
@@lillehei 😂
@@ahmadalaama7217 my maximum was 8hours :( i think im a noob
Good job man, i really need to lessen my screen time lol
I think people like Friedman would spend their spare time trying to crack the code, not because they believed they were actually gonna find gold, but the prestige of solving the puzzle
Found your channel some weeks ago and I loved it and loved you too. I felt so embarrassed hearing Nigeria Prince, I am aware there are shady people in Nigeria but also around the world too. Please don't think all Nigerians are scammers, some of us are very brilliant, hardworking and god-fearing. I apologize to those who were victims of Nigerian- prince scam. Please, there are also good people here, who genuinely loves the western people and their culture.

Gotta wonder how many people have set up bots and fed them every piece of literature from the time they could, and all books and papers they could find, and had them run them as ciphers starting from every letter individually. Just millions of calculations instantly generating results that would take humans eons to produce. Could just be starting from a random page in an old bible print, starting from the third letter of the second paragraph, and using it as a cipher.
I don't remember where but I heard about this story before but had since forgotten, thanks for reminding me of it. I've always loved stuff like this and the story is just so interesting to me because of that.
*sniff sniff* aye, that's definitely white. Great video as always but sounds like another grift from the United states of grifters, shifters and shizters.
Even if it's real AND gets solved, I doubt the treasure is still there. Anyone from the original group or their family members who know the location could've dug it up already.
Yeah but when someone of that era pokes their head out of the peasant world with 98 million dollars worth of gold people notice something like that and ask questions. It would be harder to believe that someone would live in poverty and sit on the gold then that it's still buried out there somewhere.
I have yet to watch a video of yours that I didn't thoroughly enjoy!! You're hands down my favourite UA-camr :)
How much of a trip would it be if the source cyphers ended up being documents that didn't even exist at the time?
Yeah and then they describe a dying world with several prophecies that will be fulfilled before several seemingly shapeless multidimensional beings would invade our world for reasons we cannot fathom.
Like another cipher text solved?
I was thinking a similar thing. Once the first is solved, it becomes the key.
I want the key to be hidden in some weird tweet from 2014
Beale Cipers : Bill Cipher. Gravity Falls never ceases to amaze me.
I haven't seen anyone mention this so I'll do it myself. Whenever he says Beal Cypher I instantly think of Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls. I just found it interesting as this is most likely a purposeful reference lol.
THANK YOU! I was looking for this comment
Yea it's purposeful reference to the Beal cypher......
Plot twist: the two are completely unrelated and it's just a coincidence
@@zp944 I found that funnier than I should have lmao
As soon as I heard the innkeeper wrote a book with all the information and the ciphers, I thought that the whole thing is fake and a scheme to sell books and make a fortune.
I also wondered why would Beale and friends just hide the treasure and not use it. Doesn't make sense.
When we look through history more often than not, logic is subjective
I have watched easily 100 videos or so of yours in the last few weeks and I don’t intend on stopping! Love love love your content
Oh Gravity Falls, how i miss you so.
Thank you for making my childhood magical and fun.
😊
Putting the puzzle aside for a moment I can't help feeling that it is indeed an exercise in futility. If they did hide the gold then it's just too much to actually believe they couldn't find where they had hidden it. You would have had to be looking for a very specific location that the hider would have chosen after careful consideration. Certain aspects would have been very specific to him to just forget the location. Also, I'm not really understanding why they didn't just cash it all in when they had their hands on it and put the money in a bank which would have had the money insured by the US Govt should it be stolen etc.
You've spent many months digging up the gold only to bury it and not benefit from the life-changing amount of money even when shared out equally. I don't see any benefit in not cashing it in immediately and then there are the amount of people who had a share, not one of them protested that they wanted the money immediately and not risk losing it all by trusting one guy to hide it?
Nah, sorry, just not buying it. There is no logical reason to hide the gold and especially only one of them being trusted to hide it and know where it was.
The supposed hider either stole the money and kept it all for himself then telling the rest of the men that he had forgotten the actual location. If he did tell them that then why couldn't he decipher the code he himself had written then entrust it to someone who could have ignored his request and found it himself.
Just doesn't make any sense to me, nobody could be that stupid and not be subsequently murdered by the other guys for trying to bullshit them with the lost location bullshit.
I would have tortured the shit out of him until he revealed the truth and I wouldn't have even entertained the idea he suffered from acute amnesia and had lost it. Anyway, the location was supposedly in the clues, how the fuck do you not only forget where you buried it but then also forget what the coded messages meant which reveal the location?
Nice try Thoughty lol.
“The real prize is all the deciphering fun we’re having.” What am I going to do with that?
How did it take me until today to realize he says “hey there thoughty two here” and not “hey there 42 here”
I literally watch your videos whenever I'm doing my module for school it helps me focus
Imagine someone actually cracks it, goes to the location and finds a picture of Rick Astley.
Feels like it is a hoax just to sell pamphlets.
Because i find it suspicious that the 2nd code is the only one thats been deciphered and coincidently is the list of treasures buried.🤔
If you saw how much is buried, of course you'll want to buy the pamphlet and try to find the gold.
I find it more suspicious that these guys would bury their gold and silver instead of cashing it in.
@3:00 Your map seems to be missing the north-western part of Virginia.

I have a little giggle every time you say "Saint Louie" for St. Louis. It just sounds so funny; I live rather close to ol' Saint Louie.
Imagine the second page is the cipher for the third and the third is a cipher for the first..
But in some weird or backwards order
Yes I thought that too. But I am sure someone have tried that
the video is awesome, quite interesting, great narration, entertaining, time flies as you dive deep into the story's mystery. immediately you want to learn more about this mysterious treasure that is hidden somewhere out there, and you begin to feel that you may be capable of finding it. the narration which includes animation is very easy to follow as you watch the detective narrator's facial expressions. this is a great way of spending time being entertained a la netflix style.
Arran, that was a sensational story! Thank you.
I hate to admit this to everyone, but the party already recovered it long time ago. If you want more information, you need to start researching about James Jopling's Harkening Hill purchase and arrival of Castleton Johnson in the Peaks of Otter.
To also give you a hint, research about the boulders toppled by a group of young man on Sharp top mountain and the removal of those stones that was later sent to Washington Monument, inscribed with "From otters summit, Virginia's Lofties Peak to crown a monument to Virginia's Noblest Son".
Another hint, John Wood, Mary Polly-Dooley, Elizabeth Wood Smith played an important role to the party's success.(feel free to ask me questions)
can the puzzle be proven to be solvable? because solving the puzzle might be impossible, but if it could be proven to be solvable it might actually be worth looking at.
I have solved it.... Watch the news in the morning
@@bigshagger8277 which locality?

If you have the source material, then it's a piece of cake. Without it, you'll never solve it in a million years.

So I've clicked on this video with the hope that I could be a millionaire or a genius but nope I am dumb af just like always😂
Dummies unite!✌️🤣
7:13 that's why I clicked this video(!) and then you trample on my soul by expressing the exact 4 reasons afterwards.
Well done. Deserves a slow-clap.
All I know is that it’s a mathematical equation or sequence that you would add, subtract, multiply, or divide the amount of numbers by each other to find coordinates, the red numbers more than likely being the key ones that you start with
There is a missing comma in the title of the video.
It should be: "If you can solve this puzzle, you're a millionaire"
Dont worry, it'll change before the day is through lol
The comma helps but it'd be even better if it just says you'll be instead of you're
@@somerandomweeb4836 Makes sense.
Sounds like a fake story they made to profit from.
What are the odds of the three parts, the one reveals decoded is the one that only shares the alleged treasure?
Expert here, the chances are 5/7
Exactly 1/3
Thank you for this video! This story kind of reminds me of another treasure hunt in America called "The Secret" by Byron Preiss.
You should look into the treasures of The Wichita Mountains in South Western Oklahoma. It's a tale about Jessy James.
There are people who have moved down there and have been looking for since the 1970's.
Infact, libraries have old books on these tails. These books can not be removed from the libraries.
The Wichita Mountains are a National park now.
Even if it's real, I'd have strong doubts that some pioneer adventurer could make any good and proper cipher, let alone one that a bunch of experts can't solve
I’d find it so funny if all of this is because he actually couldn’t, and it’s done so badly that it’s indecipherable and just doesn’t make sense
the second one that was solved had very very poor spelling when directly translated, maybe he had bad spelling, maybe he slightly miscounted what number a few letters were when making the code, maybe a bit of both? either way perhaps that's why computers can't solve it? perhaps computers would be looking for properly spelled words and couldn't find any because the real words are really badly spelled, thus making the code much harder to crack by complete accident
It's actually extremely easy to make a cipher no one can solve, just use the most random source material to translate from and boom a cipher that's virtually impossible to solve.
When you realise you could just ask Beal's relatives , cuz he created the cypher for them :-
Wow, Thoughty2 looking dapper! As much as I loved the twirly-stache, he’s looking like a dashing English bloke.
R.I.P Twirly-stache, u will me missed but never forgotten
It’s crazy how Beale someone in the 1800 was capable of writing such an amazing cipher. Which could connect the bible, magna Carter, Shakespeare and more all to find a simple bearing and instruction of the treasure. It’s amazing how smart people are
I heard the first 3 minutes and knew it was fake. You're telling me THIRTY DIRT POOR MEN TRAVELED UNTOLD PERILS THEN....BURIED IT ALL INSTEAD OF RETIRING EARLY!? Why would they bury it instead if trading their gold for cash then buying land and a home?
most likely fake, but if they really did find that much gold, I doubt they buried ALL of it, theyd probably bury what they didn’t need at the time. like a savings account or retirement fund, same concept.
@@mkobd Uh huh. That's how poor savage men from 200 years ago worked. They just all agreed and went to the bury site when they needed a wee bit of gold, leaving the rest for everyone else of course.
I dunno... Early American miners and incredibly complex coding.... Together? Very hard to believe 🤣
This is a simple form of cryptography but still hard to solve with no key
@@vincentcircharo8259 Automatic encoding and decoding of codes has existed since the 1930s (if not earlier.) Read up on the Enigma machine if you've never heard of it. I can guarantee someone has tried to run this through a modern, automated system.
Those numbers look EXACTLY like the results that come out of the encryption algorithm I wrote for photographic tokens. An image or set of images are the input and the output is a group of positive integers under 1000; each separated by a full stop. The output is saved as a .txt file and can be further compressed (but I've not yet perfected the compression algorithm). To decrypt, the computer needs to be on a certain destination device, be given a key, and verify itself with the origin of the encrypted file (something that is dependent on a combination of the first two and a proof that no changes have been made to the original file). The destination device is itself by default [-1], but that feature can be turned off before encryption [0] or it can be set by giving the algorithm the destination device's MAC address ['string value'], or it can also be auto-quarried by the program [1] if the user is not sure.
Have you tried to run the decryption with the numbers yet? I'm curious about the result
guy had a PC in 1820 ofc
i would say the clue would be in the second de cyphered, we know he used an official document as the cypher i wouldn't imagine it being random and it obviously meant something so maybe there are other well known literature that are relevant and important to Beale
congrats to everyone who is early and who found this comment have a good day
Looks like a lot of us are.
A thank you good sir how do you do
What comment?
There’s only 37 min left of the day 😢😢
I already solved the cipher. It was a document asking about my cars extended warranty.
The subject of old unsolved encrypted messages are allways intriguing.
I live in NM and this makes sense but I've never heard this
what i think is, the key book could be from Beal's personal journal. i highly doubt that he used another method other than the substitution, but the reason they cant crack it is they dotn have the key as no one else does only beal
Keep up the good work man your well-loved
9:13 I forget his name, he wrote that book, Utopia.
Should use the substitution on the other papers.
That's crazy to think the treasure is still somewhere.
@Thoughty2 I love your content and your accent.
Thank you for being a trusted site of Factual information .
i link when 42 winks at the end . what a cool guy .
Just have to say I live not far from Montvale Virginia and you marked it in the wrong place on the map, Montvale is near Bedford Virginia in South Western Virginia. Great video, keep it up thoughty
i like it when 'shaun' dunks on you.
cheers, dork.
I live in Montvale and we have had so many people come look for it. So far nothing. Not even a good coin. The Buford’s Inn building still stands along 460 but its a private residence now. Not to mention it’s a small town so if someone found it, we’d all know thru word of mouth by now 😆
I wonder if anyone has put the Cypher through a computer program that randomly substitutes numbers for letters. For example: for every number X, X= A; Y, Y=B; …, …; etc.
Always a nice surprise to hear New Mexico mentioned in a video by Thoughty 2! Is this in any way related to the Fen Festoferson treasure or whatever it's called? One or two of my mom's siblings were present when it was found a couple of years ago, and had been searching for it for years by that point.
LOL Fen Festoferson. It's Forrest Fenn. Funny that your version anagrams to "Forest Fenn Foes"
'They CBA' made me nose snort 🤣🤣
Thank you for sharing your video!
Pretty clear the second he mentions the guy deciphering one page nearly instant but the while world fails in the 2 other pages
if that Innkeeper forgot about the box for 23 years, i bet the letter came either 10 years on the dime and the Innkeeper threw it out thinking it was junkmail or it came at some other time and someone else opened it and didn't know what it was and threw it out, or he did that, one of those possibilities
"until now" lol. Good one
Great video m8, funny how we use the term, 'Perfectly Sane', is there really such a thing? And if there were, who would want to be 100% NOT crazy, even Alexa and Siri are a little crazy...hahaha
Love your videos!
The fun thing about ciphers is you never know if it's legit or just someone messing around.
Back in high school I used to make ciphers using different common alphabets, symbols, and such along with completely made up alphabets like chicken scratches or hieroglyphs. Always had the keys separate from the ciphers and would give them to my friends to solve but they were always about just random stuff. If any survived and gets found some day it'll be a little mystery that ends up being something like a quote or random message to the original recipient. Also wrote an English paper in cipher using the simple Chinese alphabet which used the alphabet as a direct key so maybe a poorly written essay on some book too.
😎👍
As always, very interesting.
