Synopsis

"Beale's Treasure: a Freemason's Tale," is featured on the Ancient Origins website

In 1820, Thomas J. Beale buried thousands of pounds of gold, silver, and assorted jewels just four miles from the Buford Tavern in Bedford County, Virginia. Beale left behind three encrypted ciphers with an innkeeper named Robert Morriss. The three ciphers, when decrypted, were said to tell the location of the treasure, the names of the relatives of the miners, and the contents of the buried treasure vault. The Beale Ciphers have gone unsolved for over 130 years. Cryptographers, mathematicians, treasure hunters, the NSA, and supercomputers have all failed to find a solution to what are now coined the impossible ciphers.
While taking a break from grading papers, I unintentionally happened upon the Beale Ciphers. After viewing the Treasure Cipher for less than a minute, I suspected that the numbers in the treasure code were surveyor road coordinates. Using a 360° protractor and a 12" scale, I quickly drafted a representation of Beale Trail Road from the code. After solving the Treasure Cipher and identifying the location of the suspected treasure, I moved on to the Names Cipher, processing the cipher similarly. Using the Declaration of Independence, I could transpose the Names Cipher road coordinates into four-letter anagrams. Instead of finding the names of the relatives of the miners, I found that the anagrams are rooted in Freemasonry. More than fifty Freemason anagrams are revealed within the three cipher pages. Embedded among the road coordinates are six sub-cipher fields containing nine anagrams, which reveal nine squares and compasses when converted to longitude and latitude coordinates. These iconic emblems are located worldwide, connecting ancient lands that the Freemasons claim as their legacy. The sub-cipher fields also contain two geometric puzzles, which, when solved, generate Solomon's Seal and a five-pointed emblem of the Order of the Eastern Star. The encryption process of Beale's Ciphers incorporates measurement, geometry, latitude, longitude, abbreviations, acronyms, inversion of letters, mixed letter anagrams, translations, the Jefferson Wheel, and an intimate knowledge of Freemasonry. I based my conclusions on data, not conjecture, making connections between the decrypted cipher code and Freemasonry. The answers to who had written the Beale Ciphers, why the name Beale was used, the location of the suspected treasure, the role that James B. Ward played, and most importantly, why the Freemasons created the ciphers will be found in these pages. The promise of gold, silver, and jewels in the Beale Papers had been broken. There is no treasure - just Freemasons.
