The Lost Treasure of the Beale Ciphers

cipher.jpg

An American man by the name of Thomas J. Beale came across a treasure consisting of gold, silver, and jewels in a mine located to the north of Santa Fe.
Beale and 30 fellow adventurers transported the hoard to Bedford County, where they buried it in a secure location. Beale then wrote three encoded letters: one giving the exact location of the treasure, a second giving its detailed description, and a third giving the names and contact information of the 30 partners. He placed them in an iron box and gave them to a trusted friend—the local innkeeper named Robert Morriss—before disappearing, never to be seen again. | Ancient Origins

Your Say

My uncle Letsgo "The Bantam King" Lozko worked with the OSS back in the day. He was training chickens to decode enemy transmissions.
Heck, breaking this guy's codes would be a piece of cake.

Turn this over to the Bible Code rabbis and let them take a stab at it.
