Beale-Chiffre
Inhalt
Die Beale-Chiffre ist die wohl bekannteste verschlüsselte Botschaft der Welt. Sie beschreibt einen Goldschatz, welchen ein gewisser Thomas J. Beale in den Jahren 1820/22 versteckt hat. Die zweite Seite der Beale-Chiffre konnte mittels der amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitserklärung entschlüsselt werden. Die Zahlen repräsentieren die Anfangsbuchstaben der n-ten Worte im Originaltext. Die erste und dritte Chiffre konnten bis heute nicht entschlüsselt werden.

Ich habe in Bedford County, etwa vier Meilen von Buford, in einer Aushöhlung sechs Meter unter der Erdoberfläche, die folgenden Gegenstände deponiert, die jenen Personen gehören, welche in Nummer drei genannt sind: Das erste Depot besteht aus 1014 Pfund Gold und 3812 Pfund Silber, eingelagert im November 1819. Das zweite Depot wurde im Dezember 1821 angelegt und besteht aus 1907 Pfund Gold und 1280 Pfund Silber; zudem Juwelen, erworben in St. Louis im Tausch für Silber, um den Transport zu erleichtern, und auf 130000 Dollar geschätzt. Obiges ist sicher in eisernen Gefäßen mit Eisendeckeln verpackt. Der Hohlraum ist grob mit Steinen umfasst und die Gefäße ruhen auf hartem Gestein und sind mit solchen bedeckt. Papier Nummer eins beschreibt die genaue Lage des Hohlraums, sodass es nicht schwierig sein dürfte, ihn zu finden.
