The Beale ciphers are a set of three cipher texts that are said to provide clues to the location of a buried treasure of gold, silver, and jewels valued at millions of dollars. The legend of the Beale ciphers dates back to the early 19th century, specifically around 1819, when a man named Thomas Jefferson Beale allegedly buried the treasure in Bedford County, Virginia.
