Title: The Beale Cyphers

Interesting.  I have a few opinions on this, but notably, in this day and age, one should be able to find recurring patterns of numbers, and easily determine patterns in any language.  If that hasn't happened by now, I say fake.  But interesting.

And Poe being a favorite of mine, it would be nice to find out if he did have some hand in this.

"The treasure was said to have been obtained by an American man named Thomas Jefferson Beale in 1618, to the north of Santa Fe, New Mexico, most likely in what would now be Colorado. Beale supposedly led about 29 adventurers on the discovery, but no solid proof of Beale's existence, or that of any of his companions, has yet been found in any public or private record.

However, in late October 2011 documents have been revealed from said discovery, which have been giving hints to the treasures whereabouts. You can find the documents on display in the Colorado Museum of History, they display information which points to the northern region of the sub-continent India.

It is claimed that Beale placed the ciphertexts in an iron box, and left it with a reliable person in 1822, a Lynchburg innkeeper, Robert Morriss"


How f*cking old is this joker?
