Spanish treasure signs and symbols series#

I have seen these maps written in Spanish, which easily allows for decoys, reversals and even complete information to show it was previously Spanish.) Remember, the KGC used the Spanish treasure sites (hidden caches of the Spanish, that were hid in anticipation of the impending Indian uprising, and were never found when another generation of Spaniards returned years later) and altered them.

Spanish treasure signs and symbols series#

Many times there is a series of maps for a single area, particularly when there is a repository. When I say childlike, they are simple line drawings, sometimes called stick drawings that are never complex in style. Knights of the Golden Circle Treasure Maps were hand drawn maps, that may include simple, childlike drawing of mountains, trees, hoot owl trees, trails, figures, or perhaps one of a series of maps may include a coded description of everything that is hidden. In truth, it was the direction to the treasure. It had been cleverly designed around the seam as though it were not a part of that map. Surprise, the seam was a symbol on the map although it was in no way highlighted. In one case the map was made from the side of the rebel uniform and included the seam. The material that Knights of the Golden Circle Treasure Maps are drawn on varies but most likely is either leather or civil war uniforms (rebel uniforms of course). I have seen, read and decoded several of these KGC treasure maps and find them highly intricate, most unusual and very interesting. As far as the actual handwritten maps, very few treasure hunters have ever even seen an actual Knights of the Golden Circle Treasure Map. Knights of the Golden Circle treasure maps reveal signs that are a combination of different styles of recorded information.

Knights of the Golden Circle treasure maps Part 3 In article two we will consider the context for interpretation of KGC treasure maps further.Īrticle 1 of series, Knights of the Golden Circle, ?2010, Remember, there were many groups that worked within the structure of the Knights of the Golden Circle so each site will vary and must be considered within the context. You must first locate the starting point. The template can only be interpreted in the context of all of the symbols on the site. The KGC also carved symbols into the Spanish turtles to show how they either relocated the treasure or misdirected future treasure hunters. Yes, Pedro, the KGC did carve huge turtles as did the Spanish.

Many very large symbols are carved into the rocks, sometimes the entire rock is carved into the shape of an animal.

They grow shorter in areas such as Missouri or Arkansas where the trees block the long distance view. These can be very large, especially in the American southwest and Mexico where you can see for a long distance. The largest treasure map for a KGC site would be the template. So let?s get an overview of the Knights of the Golden Circle methods of leaving data behind to identify a KGC site or treasure. The KGC has always hidden a clue within the reworking of those signs to show they were the ones that reworked them. It may even be an old Spanish symbol as the KGC left some Spanish treasure in place and reworked the signs to make the Spanish treasure difficult to find. It may be a decoy sign, sending you in the wrong direction entirely when you understand the context. If you have a single sign it has little meaning if it stands alone. When you interpret KGC data of any kind, it must be considered within the context. A single sign is never good for finding a treasure for any site, but especially when we are dealing with the KGC sites. Most treasure hunters begin a knights of the golden circle, (KGC), treasure hunt by discovery of a single or combined treasure sign. You must consider the overview of how the treasures were hidden. Knights of the Golden Circle treasure maps are not created like a normal map, you must first understand it is not the traditional ?go ten paces from the palm tree? that Hollywood shows in the movies.
