Beale, of course, never came back. During spring through fall, the big herds would have been confined to the plains well to the east, gorging on the abundant, essential prairy grasses necessary to sustain their masses. That document described the contents ofatreasure which had been buried and the description of the vault where it was buried. The Secret History of the Rosicrucians 3. The description of the vault says that it is not very big (seven feet at one point), and the site writers claim that it is empty. The letter by letter method makes it easier to encode a message with unusual words that may not appear in the book. The Beale Ciphers: Page 1 of 2. 8 byDoI = I 8=8+5+5=18=R So I strongly hope that the creators of the site can either take the time and post the information on the site, or solicit some help from others to do it. For more than a hundred years, people have been arrested for trespassing and unauthorized digging; some of them in groups as in the case of people from Pennsylvania in the 1990s. Paper number one describes the exact locality of the vault, so that no difficulty will be had in finding it. Not to mention the unlikely case scenario of thirty Virginian settlers packing off out west, two thousand land miles at least through mostly unexplored, inhospitable terrain, inhabited only by wild comanche injuns and their even more hostile Comanchero trading pals. The pamphlet's background story has several implausibilities, and is based almost entirely on circumstantial evidence and hearsay.

The story of the Beale Ciphers is a particularly peculiar mystery, to be sure, and many people who've researched it have concluded that it's probably just an elaborate 19th-century hoax. I bekive it was found and moved to another location will let u know in July 2014, tracker0001: OK, though because people have told me all kinds of similar things in the past that have turned out not to be the case, well have to wait and see, I guess. The Beale ciphers, also referred to as the Beale Papers, are a set of three ciphertexts, one of which allegedly states the location of a buried treasure of gold, silver and jewels estimated to be worth over $63 million USD as of September 2011. -ED4CADAndHerself. -CAD4TeamBeale, We note that Tunis is where St. Louis died, that the Beale Cipher was written by Mark Twain (reasons given in other threads: short note is that Samuel L. Clemens was the Spymaster in the West for the CSA, first biography notes his boast he was a Lt. in the CSA which he recanted later, but that was due to the fact the General Amnesty for the Civil War did not apply to spies, and that the Beale Cipher hid "The Richmond Stores" (other biographers note that he visited a known CSA spy in San Francisco if you need additional evidence, that many of his journals from the War are mentioned, and that he disappeared for Months and Months at a time - supposedly 'prospecting')- The Phoenix mentioned by Mr. Paul G. Stewart in his book referred to the Confederacy's future use of The Richmond Stores. 13 George L. Hart, Sr., "The Hart Papers," in Innis and Innis, pp. I didnt mean that I thought it was the same Thomas Beall, I was thinking maybe the guy was using that as a clue to find a 2nd book to decipher other ciphers with just like the 2nd one is solved with the Declaration of Indepence, I think the 1st and 3rd have the exact same system but the hard part is finding what literature was being used to code them. The first (unsolved) text specifies the site, the second (solved) text accounts for the treasure's content, and the third (unsolved) text provides the names of the treasure's owners. So #4 above opens a huge and potentially dangerous point. The entire thing was to play people against greed and is likely intended to be a sort of F-You to the greedy people who were ultimately just desperate simple people needing money to get by and not be in debt. MY CODE KEY,ADD CODE DIGITS TO TWICE THE PREVIOUS ADDED CODE DIGITS. But the Beale Ciphers still fascinate people interested in cryptography, and the story still prompts amateur treasure hunters to head to Virginia in hopes of striking it rich. But was the entire mystery just an elaborate hoax? In letter that he left behind, Beale explained that he and companions had ventured west to New Mexico in the late 1810s on a hunting expedition and while there, somehow had discovered a gold mine. Beale left the hotel in the spring of 1821 with a group of friends, and returned the following January, this time only staying for a couple of months. As you can see we have "played the game to the end". But even more so, from discouraging government entities (e.g. 140 byDoi = I 140=5+6+6=17=Q Ditto for the third page, which listed the members of the group and gave their relatives' names and addresses. To be honest, Im suspicious about the claim that the gold hasnt been located. For what its worth my opinion is that, as with the VMs, cries of hoax are more Chicken Licken than anything approaching an ironic postmodernist reading. [25] But with mounting debts, Poe left for Boston in April 1827. Ten men plus Beale traveled back from their mine to Bufords tavern but decided against burying their treasure in a closeby cavern and selected a new unidentified location to bury it. The Beale ciphers are a set of ciphertexts (3 ciphers) that supposedly discloses the location of a buried treasure of gold and silver valued at more than $80 million. The pamphlet's mysterious author figured out that one of the three sheets was in a code based on the Declaration of Independence, and deciphered it. -CAD, For those interested in further information on DeeCiphers and what else was hidden by Mr. Mark Twain (Samuel L. Clemens) and The Beale Cipher we invite you to review r/DeeCiphers and r/MapTheory (Algebraic Map Theory evolved from our break of the Beale Cipher) - both of which, unfortunately, are partially masked and occasionally thread introduction or comment -corrupted/hacked by various agencies and groups that find it funny to do so, or in their interest (and not yours) to do so. You must comment with the transcription of the message. He claimed to have solved 100 of them in a six-month period, according to a 2000 Scientific American article. We note again, that one should review Mark Twain's Map of Paris (which is the cave near Wytheville) and again, please do not attempt to enter the cave through "Twain's Well" (roughly on the Lat/Lon that you can deduce (kisses to Ivy) from the numerical 'Ciphers'. Larry: Your own interest in the lost Dutchman mine, is somewhat reminiscent of our best known Australian equivalent, Lasseters reef circa. Many alledged re-searchers of this mystery, feel that it has something to do with a massive Treasure of Gold and Silver! However, if one considers a base that is relatively prime to 10, then the last digits of the numbers in the unsolved ciphers turn uniform each digit is equally common. I will concede that Daniel Cole possibly died before he could document this for the public, but he must have generated and assembled a lot of notes from his workat a minimum. Yet this seems somewhat odd: if there was some kind of strange offsetting going on, the distribution of code-numbers would not need to so closely resemble the kind of distribution you see in code book ciphers. A person who had advanced knowledge of knowing that this wouldnt be solved for quite a long time and that it was meant for and intended for specific person to decode it. mental illness, the way they (probably one person pretending to be a few) talk reminds me of heaven's gate. Morriss had no luck in solving the ciphers, and decades later left the box and its contents to an unnamed friend. There are two kinds of clerical errors made by Beale, clerical errors made in constructing his key (called counting errors) and clerical errors made in referencing the key while enciphering Paper No. You might have guessed it: he did not return. Recently, I discovered an apparently no-longer-maintained web site Beale Ciphers Solved which documented not only that the other documents in the Beale Ciphers were successfully deciphered (sometime in the late 1990's by Daniel Cole, now deceased), but showed what was found at the location described by the deciphered location document. You can get a pretty good background on the Wiki entry and a lot of research material, including Ion Idriess authoritive Lasseters last ride, is still available and very worthwhile for people like us who are getting to be a tad too old for the hunt. And the DoI does seem to have played a part in the construction of the (as-yet-undecrypted) B1 and B3 as well as of B2, even if we dont yet know what that part was. The vault is roughly lined with stone, and the vessels rest on solid stone, and are covered with others. For sure, the eleven people that buried the treasure knew where it was and had twenty-three years to collect it without Morriss or anyone else knowing. Yes the codes are broken! The friend, then using an edition of the United States Declaration of Independence as the key for a modified book cipher, successfully deciphered the second ciphertext which gave a description of the buried treasure. Instead of replacing each word in the secret message with a number, you replace each letter in the secret message with a number. [20], In 2010, an award-winning animated short film was made concerning the ciphers called The Thomas Beale Cipher. That means there are two ways to solve them. This is critical, because viewed as circumstantial evidence only, the residence document which is supposed to list the heirs to the treasure instead essentially says hey, weve all come back and removed our treasure and even paid taxes on it. Well, of what value is that for Beale to botherencoding, let alone give to someone in a cipher form to protect? Nickell argues that the tale is thus a work of fiction; specifically, a "secret vault" allegory of the Freemasons; James B. ORIGINAL FINISHED DECODING: Sheet 1: OF CIPHER 3 : Sheet 2: BY MR. DANIEL COLE: Sheet 3 . Beale told Morriss not to open the box unless he or one of his men failed to return from their journey within 10 years. Read it when I was a boy reefs of shining gold rising from the desert. 1; 2; NSA.GOV. Incidentally There are many messages encoded into these texts, some maybe informative as to the situation to expect regarding the narrative of this story but they will not provide the answer to where this treasure is located or who was involved. *Some PagesUnder Construction* The contentsarequite valuable. excavation site andhismethod of concealement for both the treasure and the cipherswereabsolutely ingenious. National Security Agency/Central Security Service > Home Include the text [Transcript] in your reply. Since the publication of the pamphlet, a number of attempts have been made to decode the two remaining ciphertexts and to locate the treasure, but all efforts have resulted in failure. I have deposited in the county of Bedford, about four miles from Buford's, in an excavation or vault, six feet below the surface of the ground, the following articles, belonging jointly to the parties whose names are given in number three, herewith: The first deposit consisted of ten hundred and fourteen pounds of gold, and thirty-eight hundred and twelve pounds of silver, deposited Nov. eighteen nineteen. The treasure was said to have been obtained by an American named Thomas J. Beale in the early 1800s, from a mine to the north of Nuevo Mxico (New Mexico), at that time in the Spanish province of Santa Fe de Nuevo Mxico (an area that today would most likely be part of Colorado). There are also several books, and considerable Internet activity. Other strong support for the Declaration to be the key for the remaining two elusive ciphers is an extreme anomaly found when it is applied to Beale Cipher 1. I wonder what year this cipher genius might have accomplished this feat. The treasure was packed in iron pots with lids and buried in a stone-lined vault. So what do you suppose all these people did during that time? For example, one can investigate the frequency of the last digit in each number in the ciphers. Nick: Yet contemporary records show he did not start in that position until at least 1823. I DO NOT!!!. The man who claimed to have ultimately obtained the documents published them for the public to see, including one of the documents which had been broken usingthe Declaration of Independence as the key. 2 and of no importance to the present discussion. Once the treasure is found (and in this case that includes recovered from its hiding place), the finder is either going to: Assuming that Bealestreasure did exist and was not removed by Beale but WAS found in the excavation described on the site, the content listed in the site as being from the list of heirs would be great content to discourage future attempts at excavation. 2, and (3) how lucky you are at guessing words or phrases that Beale used in writing the set of directions found in paper No. The group wasn't sure exactly what to do with their newfound riches, but eventually, they entrusted it to Beale, who traveled back east and buried it in a cave near a tavern in Bedford County, "which all of us had visited, and which was considered a perfectly safe depository," according to the letter. A translation of the Cipher from the actual Declaration of Independence shows in fact very poor spelling: "I haie deposoted in the copntt ol bedoort aboup four miles from bulords in an epcaiation or iault six fest below the surlact of thh gtound ths fotlowing articiss beaonging joiotlt to the partfes whosl namfs ate giiet in number thrff httewith.."[citation needed]. the key to beale cipher no.

No. area,construction details,talley ofthe pots plus contentsand thefinaldirections leading During the period of their ascendency, the huge herds ranged across the great plains where prairie grasses were in abundance. In 2014, the National Geographic TV show The Numbers Game referred to the Beale ciphers as one of the strongest passwords ever created. It was not until 1845 that Morriss opened the box. The other two documents remained undeciphered, one of which contained the location of the treasure, and the other containing the heirs to the treasure. But even if it doesn't, the Beale Ciphers two of which remain unsolved have continued to fascinate both amateur and professional cryptographers, to the point that the National Security Agency actually has compiled a file of articles and reports on the mystery. The Complex Ciphers Have Been Decoded And Reveal Much More Than Many Thought Possible! Canadian sourced hides would have been cheap as (buffalo) chips in Boston at that time, from what I understand and also hides not being easy to prepare for selling back east, should have been a deterant to any such consideration in the first instance. The pamphlet's numbering has eleven words between the labels for 670 and 680. They toiled in the gold fields to mine a treasure for two years. 11 Beale cipher number two (Innis and Innis, pp. Who would care about paying taxes or handshakes with the Secretary of the Treasury (argument by unverifiable authority), or that he had no heirs? For those interested in further information on DeeCiphers and what else was hidden by Mr. Mark Twain (Samuel L.

The technique is based on the well-known method of cryptanalysis called "probable word." In this case, success depends on several factors: (1) whether B1 is genuine, (2) whether B1 is a book cipher, similar to No. Beale later sent Morriss a letter from St. Louis, instructing him that if Beale didn't return, after 10 years Morriss had permission to open the box. The friend then spent the next twenty years of his life trying to decode the messages, and was able to solve only one of them, which gave details of the treasure buried and the general location of the treasure. Beale then disappeared. The western extent of their east west, seasonal migration pattern would have reached half way across Colorado to about where interstate 25 runs in a north/south direction for its entirety. after word 240 ("invariably") and before word 246 ("design") one word must be removed (probably "a"). This content claimed to be from the deciphered Residence document is the most critical one for outside sources to validate. Despite the Beale Papers' unproven veracity, treasure hunters have not been deterred from trying to find the vault. It even raises some suspicions. Nickell also presents linguistic evidence demonstrating that the documents could not have been written at the time alleged (words such as "stampeding", for instance, are of later vintage). Change), You are commenting using your Twitter account. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns. Thats what any treasure hunter worth his salt would do! Let alone the fact that, if by luck, any had they managed to hang onto their foolish scalps for the journey, the picky Spanish occupiers at the time, were unlikely to roll out any welcome mats upon doubtful arrival of any gringo, invaders of their territory. It must have felt like nirvana when he cracked the second cipher using the Declaration of Independence. Moriss stored it away and forgot about it until he received a letter from Beale, dated May 9, 1822. THIS COULD BE EDGAR ALLAN POES SWISS BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER Which i will claim,for,to go with the gold,silver jewels,and valuable iron cooking pots. Was National Treasure loosely based on the Beale Papers? It could be that the discovery was an indication that the Beale treasure had been found long ago. Change), You are commenting using your Facebook account. Knowing human nature, if there was a treasure, it was found almost 200 years ago and kept secret, otherwise, they would be killed by Beales group or someone else that knew where the treasure was. But the lack of details which would allow others to duplicate the deciphering results they claimed to haveachieved not only createsthe potential for a lot of suspicion, but denies information to history that itrightly deserves. The HIST OF sperm whale was written by Thomas Bealle. Within the following lines below I have posted the decoded message that was originaly intended for Morriss to read - . The Beale Ciphers are unique because they have never been solved. So, its basically a kind of Wild West bandit take on a pirate treasure map (which to me sounds like an Alias Smith and Jones script, oh well) but made obscure with some kind of dictionary code: all of which is reassuringly familiar if youve just read PopCo. From 1820, he was also living in Richmond, Virginia at the time of Beale's alleged encounters with Morriss. Ward is thus not "the friend".

Comprising three ciphertexts, the first (as yet unsolved) text describes the location, the second . After all, who would bring back a fortune in gold, silver and jewels from New Mexico and bury it somewhere in the rolling hills and ridges of central Virginia? First, these are enciphered documents which have stumped the world for almost 200 years. While no documented case of anyone breaking the ciphers had been known, there were plenty of police cases of people trespassing and digging on properties nearBedford County Virigina, where the treasure was supposedly buried. Why isnt this information shared? [27], Another method to check the validity of the ciphers is to investigate some statistical aspects in different number bases. Many versions of the Declaration of Independence have been printed, with various adjustments to paragraphing, word inclusion, word changing, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. This is true for all three ciphers.[28]. It was thrilling to read about the effort, and see pictures of the site described. As noted by Coral Anne, the A Friend letter at the end of Huckleberry Finn (written at the same time as The Beale Cipher) contain information related to the Beale Cipher, We do not recall the grid (it might have gone to 48 coloumns but could have been traditional 36-2 Grid - we will post it if we find it in the mess that is CAD's computer) - but there is a subgrid within that DeeCipher that was 16x8 or similiar. The images below, transcribed from the pamphlet, show the original line-breaks for easy comparison. (LogOut/ However, the treasure hunters only found Civil War artifacts. William Poundstone, an American author and skeptic, had stylometric analysis performed on the pamphlet for his 1983 book Biggest Secrets, and found that Poe's prose is significantly different from the grammatical structure used by the author who wrote The Beale Papers.

She's the author of the book "Introduction to Codes and Ciphers, Plus 20 Famous Unsolved Codes, Ciphers, and Mysterious Writings," and is founder of the Mysterious Writings website. The cyphers are actually very simple, you have all let your minds run away with yourselves, making this out to be more complicated than it actually is. Change). But language experts who've examined the texts of the letters and compared them to the pamphlet have concluded that "it all seems to have been written by the same person," Dunin explains.

It was well known he placed notices of his abilities in the Philadelphia paper Alexander's Weekly (Express) Messenger, inviting submissions of ciphers which he proceeded to solve. Instead, it contained sheets of paper covered with seemingly incomprehensible numbers. Ward spent 40 years racking his brain trying to decrypt. In March of 1822, Beale called the innkeeper to his room. The story has been the subject of multiple television documentaries, such as the UK's Mysteries series, a segment in the seventh special of Unsolved Mysteries; and the 2011 Declaration of Independence episode of the History Channel TV show Brad Meltzer's Decoded. 179-201. .
