The Beale Treasure

 "The Code Book" by Simon Singh combines coding cyphers and historical events. The book's latest is a buried treasure story where a guy called Thomas Beale mined $20 million of gold and silver and hid all about it in a locked box to be opened after his death. The box contains three sheets of numbers, which were cyphers. The second was eventually decoded using the Declaration of Independence as a Text and gave details of the treasure. The first and third sheets have never been deciphered and gave the location and who to give the treasure to.

Some think that the NSA may have solved it and taken the treasure.

This is my 2,700th post on this blog.

Still reading "Imajica" by Clive Barker on my Kindle. This is a book I never want to end. When I finish it, I just restart it.

I recently discovered that my American Amazon Author page has a feed from this blog, which you can see here. It only shows on the .com site but not on others. C'est la vie.

The music is "The Gold It's In The" By Pink Floyd
