this was completely and incorrect way of decoding. Not only does the deceleration of Independence not have enough words to decoder the first cipher but as well as this decoder forgot that the gold and silver are buried six feet below the surface. You will have to dig that you can stand in.
You know I thought it was fake but then I saw the “decoded message”. There just idiots is all
The moment you realize you are talking to an idiot!
Santa Fe should have records of any Gringos in town. Very protective culture back then. They did not want outsiders visiting. Check out the records and I doubt you will find the sale of mining gear to outsiders.
How many holes can you put in this story?
Alright, here are a couple of questions:
1) Why didn’t this guy decode the rest of the message to see if it holds water?
2) Why would "red knee" equal a tarantula? Couldn’t "red knee" mean anything?
3) The use and order of the words "decrypted" would make sense if that was all the message entails, like a short note (quick notes usually have incomplete sentences like the one presented). But it’s not the entire message. Here is a link to the 1st code: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/55/Beale_1.svg
In that case, wouldn’t having, presumably, (based one how the second decoded message was written) an entire paragraph of content in the first message debunk the idea that it would be such an informal message like the one this man had concluded the message to be? I’m no expert, I’ll admit, but this doesn’t make sense to me.
Ok, where is your 300 million dollar treasure as proof?
tv show is absolutely horrible. those guys are totally acting and could care less about what they are investigating.
Brad Meltzer, everybody in these videos, everybody at the history channel are nothing more than worthless parasites filling minds with scripted garbage that’s supposed to be real. On the other hand you kind of cant blame these fools because they aren’t the ones creating the demand for the non sense its the fools watching it and believing it. Brad Meltzer what a fucking joke.
This guy got spider bit yall need to stop it for real
Ive cracked the code too! "eeeew eeeeer peeeee youuuu" … lol
its fake im trying to decipher it right now my own way
This is one show i missed very educational
All interesting, but the Beale treasure is believed to be in Bedford, VA!
lol Daniel of search.. i would go at night and topple the whole freaking place down if there was that much wealth hidden in it
New discoveries in the continued investigations into the Beale have been made to use the DOI Book Codes in a Second Layer of these affairs. All the ciphers are made to be cracked using a template made from the key phrase that was found by running the sequences in reverse.
Basically everything that Ken Bauman has found is being confirmed…ERE FENN DUE RED KNEE is a Code to the affairs of another even more sinister crew at the Skull and Bones at Yale.

Wasn’t that Edgar Alan Poe piece written way later than the papers? This guy is reaching
Wow! That Beale REALLY had a treasure and rather than keep it, he buried it and made it available with puzzles. I would do that too. Isn’t that what EVERYBODY does when they have a treasure?
701832
this was 11 years ago!!!! he still hasent found it, lol!!!!
I solved it in 15 minutes top that
This is so staged and fake
And what makes him think there’s gold when the 2nd cipher has the contents?
lol the declaration of Independence has around 1400 words. The numbers in the first cipher reach up to 2900
@gmail
Junk television.
If you decode #1 page first few lines it gives you the instructions for the rest of #1 and then at the end, it gives you the instructions for #2 page.
Declaration of independence can’t be the key because it doesn’t have enough words in it
The Beale code was written in 1820. The Golden bug came out in 1843. There is no way this can be possible!
As soon as I heard him say a mansion in Philadelphia, I knew that was incorrect; all historical records say Virginia. In the cipher that was cracked, it said it was buried in Virginia.
People couldn’t even develop toilet paper but can write a code that people in 2,000 that cant crack mmm lol
My grandfather went after the Jefferson Beale treasure several times in Bedford County. A legitimate adventurer and genius, he’s claimed that he actually deciphered one of the other two code letters. He trespassed on property illegally dozens of times. He was shot at, and even had dogs turned on him. My father (my grandfather’s new son in law at the time) even accompanied him on some of the later trips, and swears to me that they found nearly all of the landmarks that were detailed in the cyphers. My grandfather is still alive, and he tells me that he knows where the treasure is now, and knows exactly what measurements he got wrong last time. He even found the remnants of iron nails via metal detector that was part of the frame of the cabin that the cyphers allude to. He feels like he was off by mere hundreds of feet on his last search. I have begged him to tell me what he knows, and although he is now too old for one last hunt, he tells me it is too dangerous to traipse on that property. I’m hoping he will finally tell me the location before he passes. Hopefully, that won’t be for several more years, but old age catches up to us all and he’s not physically able to take that journey anymore. Anyway, thought I’d share. I have a decent chance of claiming the Beale treasure someday. At least, more than most.
What a bunch of nonsense……… 🤦🏻♀️
Why would he tell the museum he wants to check for gold???!!! Should have gottten a job there as night time security. How stupid. Plus, he could have come at night and checked the corners for gold, just to know for starters. One has to be brazen trying to recover any treasure. It’s not for the obedient and a meek.
The Gold Bug theory was just lame as it was published in 1843, twenty one years prior to the letter. I think I can crack it to the same degree of correctness using a lucky charms box in one hour.
we are catching on, tv is garbage now. all these shows that say they are real end up being totally fake.
The second one did not tell you whats in it at all , busted
"IN TWO HOURSSSS! LISTEN TO THAT! IN TWOOO HOUUUURRRRRS, I DID IT!"
Nice video! Rev. John Piper
sorry please tell me that you dont believe a word that guy was saying,
Is this true and did they find the treasure
The Beale Ciphers are Culper Spy Codes. Plain and simple and I challenge anyone to say otherwise. And I’ll prove em wrong.
I know where the Actual Treasure is with No Way to Actually Get It, That would Require a 5,000 Dollar Metal Detector, BTW you guys are Not Even Close, It’s Not in Pennsylvania or Virginia, as Far as the Cipher is Concerned I Found the Spanish Key.
Destiny Goddess Tablets of Knowledge. Not a spear. Get it straight people! Ask Laura Eisenhower yourself
please tell me you do.
OPEN FOR PUBLIC INTERPRETATION:
Proclamation to the people, fleet that the Illustrious King and Queen our Sovereigns gave me, and a boat with a master seaman, name of Royal Standard at the glorious success that our Island, I discovered with the mainland on this side me where I commemoration (of his Divine Majesty) I have taken.

My voyage I wriTE this to tell you how to the Indies glorious success, that I have been to distance to which I gave SALVADOR the name of the sea-coast, a certain harbor to the end. Once, I continued the said route thinking, I gave with the fleet, finding at the end of many leagues that already taken that this land was an island, and so generous, who have taken possession that this land was an island. My voyage, me where I discovered a Third Fernandina, I gave the cities or towns to find out whether as if they show so much love that this land was an island.

not all of their shows. History channel went downhill….just like youtube. Tru TV takes the prize as all their reality shows are fake and set up. SO take that knowledge and look at shows that appear to be real and legit. you’ll soon realize 95% of tv is lies.

Something I like to point out, in the one that was translated. According to it, Beale digged the treasure somewhere 5 miles from Buford, Virginia and somewhere in Bedford Virginia. So I like to point out that it doesn’t make sense where it would be more than that many miles in Philadelphia. Otherwise, something is wrong with the 2nd translated or he came close but messed up somewhere along the way.
"So how did you find it"…. "well, I pulled the answer out of my fourth point of contact". Hows that’s for a riddle.
This is really funny. History channel, you are the trolliest.
