What stands between you and a treasure trove of dozens of gold, silver, and precious stones may just be a code created by a 19th-century explorer.
In 1885, James B. Ward wrote a small book titled “The Beale Papers”. In it, the content recounts how Thomas J. Beale – an explorer in the American Far West – accidentally found a mineral mine rich in gold and silver while hunting with his teammates.
The group mined this precious metal, then assigned Beale to bury it in a secret location in Virginia. After burying it, Beale encrypted details such as the burial location, treasure value, names of owners… into 3 separate codes.
This treasure is a mineral mine rich in gold and silver.
These three codes and some other documents were kept in an iron box by Beale and delivered to an innkeeper named Robert Morriss, with instructions not to open the box unless he or his friends did not return within 10 years. .
And indeed, Beale never returned. After 23 years, Morriss finally opened the box and tried to decipher the codes, but until his death he still could not understand their meaning.
A close friend of Morriss managed to solve one of the three codes using something called: “key text”. The content of the code revealed that the treasure included more than 1 ton of gold, more than 2 tons of silver, and many exchangeable gemstones worth $13,000 during transportation. Up to now, these assets are worth more than $43 million. But no matter how hard he tried, he still gave up with the remaining two codes, and finally had to publish the entire story in the book “The Beale Papers” and published by his friend James B. Ward.
Up to now, even though 200 years have passed, no one has been able to solve the burial location of this valuable treasure. Is this a desirable treasure or just a cruel joke? Please give your opinion after watching the video below.
