:: National Treasure? or the "Beal Treasure"? ::
National Treasure? or the "Beale Treasure"?
(The difference between the movie and real.)
I have Been reading this book called "The Code Book". Just because i thought it would be interesting since i saw the movie "national treasure" i have been more interested in codes than usual. Well, Read what i found in Chapter 2.
Chapter 2.
January 1820, a stranger " Thmas J. Beale rode to Lychburg to the Washington Hotel. 2 years later after he had misterously disappeard. He entrusted Morriss with a locked iron box. Morriss i think was the owner of the hotel. Morriss put the box in a safe and
on May 9th, 1822, Morriss received a letter from Beale. In Beales letter it described how important the box was. It went something like this: The box you have is of great importance and it's loss would be irreparable. you will therfore see the neccessity of taking care of this box and if i die a friend of mine will send you a letter on June 1832. By then you may open the box and decipher the clues.
Unfortunatly the letter never arrived "guess why". Morriss never open the box till 3 or 5 years later. He tried all his life to crack the code. But when he was in his 80's and was dying he gave the ciphers to a friend. and later he discovered the meaning. "Can you guess how h figured out these cipher's?" After searching all of the books he could "because this is a book cipher, he thought" He finally found the answer "Did you guess where? Oh, Come on think of the movie""National Treasure""
Hmm... If you guessed an old ship, You are totally wrong. "think later in the movie" . Ok i guess i'll tell you. He found the answer to parts of the cipher not in silence dogood letters. But in the Declaration of Independance.
(Now if you watched disney channel's surfers interview Nicolas Cage. You know why he thinks this kind of treasure really exists... Because it does.
