    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @douglasking9383
    @douglasking9383 2 роки тому +1

    I prefer applying logic rather than cryptology to solving this problem. In applying logic, there are two things wrong with this buried treasure story. One, what is to prevent one or more of Beale's fellow "hunters and opportunists" from sneaking back and stealing the treasure for themselves? I mean there were 30 in the original group. The chances are good that at least one of the 30 is dishonest enough to attempt to steal the gold from its hiding spot. And two, it seems that the encryption is meant for outsiders, those not related to Beale and his crew, in which case the treasure is probably long since gone, having been dug up by one or more of the relatives. Then again, why encrypt its location at all? It seems such a waste of time. The keys would surely be passed on to the relatives through their respective wills (Beale and his cohorts). This whole exercise is suspicious.

  • @runedahl1477
    @runedahl1477 2 роки тому +2

    It is remarkable that the second letter containing information about the amount of treasures that is berried is the only one that has been cracked and non of the others. The reason is to trigger greed and hopes of cracking the rest. The third letter is the one of less interest because no treasure hunter wants to find others that can claim their shear if the treasure is found. It is also remarkable that all of these miners agreed to let the treasure be hidden. It is more likely that they would have claimed their shear and lived a good life after that. It is more likely that this is the grandmother of the typical Nigeria letters that is now on the internet. The only person that benefits from the whole story is the mysterious code cracker. Besides today it should be possible to run the numbers through a computer to see if any combination makes some sense. You may need some widely available documents from that time to see if there is a match. My guess is that the Bible,the Declaration of Independence or the constitution would be a good choice. Newspaper articles or novels are unlikely keys to the puzzle.

    There are other, BIG problems with the story. Considering the amount of "gold" and "silver", measured by tons, what is actually meant? Gold can make nuggets which can be washed out of streams and rivers. Not silver. Gold and silver strikes in the southwest have been hard rock mining. Schieffelin's strike at Tombstone, AZ for instance. There are tales of ledges of solid gold which could be picked free, for instance the "Lost Dutchman" mine which has never been found. Silver is found in stone, generally greenish in color. In the race for gold, silver ore was frequently tossed aside in the beginning. We see this in some Colorado sites as well as Virginia City, NV.
    That said, do we assume the Virginia treasure seekers dragged back over two tons of ore? How did they trade the ore for jewels in St. Louis? How was it measured? Why would adventurers from Virginia know they had silver ore since many over the next decades discarded silver while searching for gold? How many mules did it take to haul back that much ore? How much volume are we considering and how deep a hole was needed to bury it?
    There are tales of lost Spanish treasure in the American southwest. These treasures are rumored to be similar to what has been found on sunken ships. I suppose that could be a possibility but the treasure is not described that way.
    Jacqueline Kennedy had dotty relatives named Beale. ("Grey Gardens") That could be an interesting side story... LOL! ;-)
