t was supposed to be the final
hiding spot for the ancient loot.. Vinny
carefully opened the secret compartment which he had discovered
between the 2 large columns, underground in an undocumented
tunnel.. After being inspired by viewing movies such as "National
Treasure" and watching the "Da Vinci Code" 548 times, he had
searched for clues to a treasure, hidden by the Templars that was
sure to be somewhere on the planet...
A bizarre chain of unlikely events and "clues"
had brought him there. The trail had started with a study of the
Knights Templar that went back to 1307, when Pope Clement condemned
the Order's members, had them arrested, tortured into giving false
confessions, and burned at the stake. Eventually the Templars had
disbanded and disappeared. Although this had occured in France, he
believed that clues were sure to be elsewhere, perhaps veiled in
some popular literature...
...And in 1307 over in Italy, Dante Alighieri was
writing the "Divine Comedy". Italian was a very new language at the
time, and this poem would eventually pave the way for major
acceptance of it. His attention had turned to a 700 year old
unsolved mystery that was in the poem at Canto 33.43. A subsequent
investigation, along with physical artifacts from his trips to
Paris and Rome, (as well as an obscure wine shop just outside
Bordeaux) all had led to where he was standing now, opening the
secret compartment. He cracked open the box
which had supposedly been sealed for ages and found only an
envelope with the words: ""Ancient
Source Code" written in modern English on the cover.
Inside was only a single sheet of parchment with 2 columns of
writing...
But what did it mean? Could some lemon juice
applied to the document uncover any invisible ink? He squinted as
he looked at the paper and noticed a few words that definitely
should not be on such a document of that age...Did he somehow
stumble upon a different puzzle? Wrinkling his nose, he thought
perhaps he was having some bizarre dream and remembered the few
"missing" bottles of his case of Sauvignon Blanc that had
mysteriously reappeared completely empty when he had gotten up that
morning...Vinny also thought to himself and wondered if his
coworkers at the top-secret radioactive goat/alien breeding
facility had noticed anything amiss about his extended
absence...

This cache
has
3
coins for the first 3 finders, and some decent swag, including
an electronic sudoku game! Good luck! Note
(2/12/11): the cache is stuck in place, however the logbook and
swag can be removed and replaced. I'll be putting the logbook in a
separate container, and leaving a pair of tongs the next time I
make it out there in the spring.
