Yo!

beale, good to see you "posting", agree with Timberwolf and others about NOT "posting" LOCATIONS... tree signs/rock carvings are fine for discussion purposes;
www.treasureuniversity.com had good source of info, MOSTLY for mid-west/far-west USA, and that is good to learn from. Like beale & boattow, I have done rersearch BUT! I am not a "field guy", beale does that... what he has "posted" is similar to what I am finding... it ALL goes back to the Knight Templars. After the "scattering" of the Knights, some went on to become builders/masons for the Holy Roman Church, building those WONDERFUL Cathedrals, etc. over across the "little pond". These "Operative" Masons created "rituals" like MOST construction workers do today, to play pranks on FNG, and then accept them as E.A. (new guys), F.C. (learning how to "build"),
M.M.(can work on their own... know the CRAFT). They did have "signs" and "pass-words" to travel from place to place for work. Some K.T. found SOMETHING in the excavation of K.S. Temple, in the stables of the Temple Mount... this is the ritual of the 7th degree Royal Arch Mason. It must have been "converted" to liquid $$$$ (K.T. were WEALTHY, and first Bankers of the world), and probably DID move to "Switzerland", creating that country and "wealth institutions". SOME became Pirates, and "Jolly Roger" flag was probably named after King Roger II of Sicily, who was a K.T., who became a PIRATE. SOME K.T. went to Scotland with some treasure ("clues" at Rosslyn), and then to USA (Round Tower in R. I.; Templar Swords found "here & there", even in TEXAS... HOT BED of future KGC; Native American stories/legends of "white men wth BROWN long hair & beards" - MAY NOT just be Spanish, etc.; Kings across the "little pond" HATED K.T. What beale "posted" about KGC in 1619, is somewhat correct; they were KNIGHTS on a SECRET mission, probably burying stuff, MAYBE not known as KGC... BUT! with the SAME idea. to "re-cap"... K.T. INDEPENDENT... WEALTHY... RISK-TAKERS... winding up in Texas over the decades; TEXAS... HOTBED of KGC, and CONFEDERATE KNIGHTS... OUTLAWS...

The K.T. Ciphers are provided in the Lost Dutchman Mine/Persher Code thread...
