All language subtitles for The UnXplained Special Presentation s01e22 Lost Treasures

A buried treasure belonging to one of
the most feared pirates to ever roam the

seas. A lost cache of gold protected by
a deadly curse.

And a confounding cipher that could
reveal a vast fortune.

The fascinating tales of lost treasures,
missing fortunes, and elusive riches

have sparked the human imagination for
ages.

And the prospect of actually finding
precious valuables has motivated an

uncountable number of brave souls to
hunt for where X marks the spot.

But these grand adventures to follow the
clues to vast riches often come

with great risks and sometimes deadly
curses.

How likely is it that there really is?

Treasure hidden all around us, just out
of our reach.

Well, that is what we'll try and find
out.

Ocracoke Island, North Carolina.

Every year, thousands of people gather
at the Ocracoke Pirate Jamboree to

experience a taste of swashbuckling life
on the high seas.

The fair commemorates the defeat of the
most famous and feared pirate in

colonial history, known by the name of
Blackbeard.

Edward Teach

also known as Blackbeard, is a legendary
pirate.

Not much is known about him in his early
years, but it's believed that he grew

up in Bristol, which is a town in
England.

And from there, he moved on to Jamaica,
where he worked as a privateer

in the War of Spanish Secession.

And that was where his career as a
pirate really began.

During the War of Spanish Succession
from 1701 to 1713, the English

gave captains of private merchant ships
permission to attack and plunder vessels

that were owned by Spain and France.

Blackbeard was one of those captains who
were referred to as privateers.

After 1713, when the war ended, if you
continued to be a privateer, you were no

longer a privateer, you were a pirate.

Blackbeard and a lot of them became
pirates because there was no other way

making a living.

In 1717, Blackbeard got his own ship and
became one of the most infamous pirate

captains who ever lived. He made himself
look as terrifying as possible.

He had a very long black beard. He had
very long black hair.

And during battle, he would put fuses or
even candles into his beard and hair so

smoke would kind of rise up.

And it looked like he was coming out of
hell.

Imagine this huge, towering figure with
this big, burly black beard and

slow -burning fuses coming out from
underneath his hat, just sparkling.

That really created his reputation.

as the legendary pirate Blackbeard.

Blackbeard and his fellow pirates were
plundering and stealing loot from ships

all the time.

In fact, so many, we don't even know the
exact number of ships that Blackbeard

was able to loot, but they're able to
take a lot of loot.

In 1718, after spending years capturing
and plundering ships on the high seas,

Blackbeard's notorious career came to an
abrupt end when he was attacked off the

southern tip of Ocracoke Island.

The governor of Virginia told his coast
guard to capture Blackbeard at all

costs.

And so the job went to Lieutenant Robert
Maynard.

And on November 22nd of 1718, Maynard
came upon Blackbeard's ship and

immediately engaged him into battle.

And Blackbeard engaged in a fight with
one of the men who ended up stabbing

Blackbeard in the thigh.

And supposedly Blackbeard shouted, well
done, lad.

And then Lieutenant Robert Maynard ends
up beheading Blackbeard on the ship.

And Blackbeard's head was placed on the
bowsprit of a ship and sailed up and

down the eastern seaboard so everyone
would know that Blackbeard had been

in battle.

In the centuries since Blackbeard's
death, the mystery of his lost fortune

captivated generations of treasure
hunters.

If someone went out to find Blackbeard's
treasure, they would find approximately

$12 .5 million in today's currency.

And so all kinds of rumors and legends
about his treasure are definitely still

out there and people are looking for it.

And reportedly what Blackbeard said...

Was only the devil and I know the
whereabouts of my treasure.

And the one of us who lived the longest
should take it all.

With little information to go on as to
where on earth Blackbeard's treasure may

be hidden, fortune seekers began
searching the waters of Onslow Bay for

legendary pirate ship, the Queen Anne's
Revenge.

Just four months before his death,
Blackbeard ran his frigate aground near

outer banks of North Carolina.

Some speculate that the pirate wrecked
his ship on purpose as a way to cheat

crew from receiving their share of the
latest plunder.

The sunken vessel eluded discovery until
1996 when Mike Daniel and a team of

divers used their treasure hunting
skills to pinpoint exactly where X...

marked the spot.

Over the years, I've found a lot of
treasure, a lot of gold, a lot of

a lot of silver.

For instance, I found a shipwreck called
the Meravilla, 1656 Spanish galleon,

one of the richest ever to sink.

The whole process of finding a shipwreck
is first you get the documentation that

gives you a pretty good idea of where
you should be looking.

And so in order to go search for the
Queen Anne's Revenge, you know, we

looking through the various historical
documents.

And it was said that the Queen Anne's
Revenge supposedly ran aground trying to

enter Topsail Inlet up in North
Carolina.

Even though it's Beaufort Inlet today,
it was Topsail Inlet at the time.

And once you've got that pinned down,
now what you do is you set up a grid

system. and then travel down that line
towing a magnetometer, an electronic

piece of equipment that measures very
minute magnetism.

If there is an anomaly in the water, it
would tell you something's there.

And we had a pretty major hit.

I go down and take a look, and I spot
the three cannons right away. They're

sitting off to the side of this big
mound.

And that's when we actually said, you
know.

We've got it.

Today, over 400 ,000 items have actually
been excavated off of the Queen Anne's

Revenge. And these include things like
24 huge cannons came out of it. They've

also found other goods such as personal
effects, and they've found weapons as

well.

But despite the vast number of artifacts
archaeologists have salvaged from the

Queen Anne's Revenge, they found no sign
of Blackbeard's treasure, which begs

the question.

Where could it be?

It's a mystery that still fascinates
treasure hunters to this day.

The big question is what happened to the
gold on the Queen Anne's Revenge?

It's possible that some of it has just
been kind of dispersed into the sea.

It could be perhaps that Blackbeard
offloaded much of it before actually

abandoning the Queen Anne's Revenge.

It's one of the big mysteries about
Blackbeard that we just don't really

While the discovery of the Queen Anne's
revenge was a massive accomplishment,

the fact remains that Blackbeard's
treasure is still missing. And the

pirate's gold isn't the only riches
treasure hunters have yearned to

In fact, deep in the Arizona mountains,
many unlucky adventurers have tried

to find a fortune guarded by a deadly
curse.

In southern Arizona, 50 miles east of
Phoenix, fly the Superstition Mountains.

These jagged peaks rise approximately 1
,800 feet into the sky and dominate the

surrounding landscape.

According to the folklore of the native
Apache people, the Superstition

Mountains are a sacred place that is
guarded by a supernatural entity known

the Thunder God.

To the native Apache, the Superstition
Mountains are the home of the Thunder

God, and as such, they should be
respected.

Most Apache will not enter the
Superstition Mountains because they

to do so could anger the Thunder God,
causing him to lash out and probably

the person who has violated his faith.

The Apache, they did not live too much
in the Superstitions.

Because that's where the thunder god
lived was in the superstitions.

And many times, actually, I've heard
thunder sounds even when there is no

thunderstorms around.

There's something there. I mean,
definitely the mountains do roar at

The mountains rumble by themselves.

And it's been attributed to, of course,
the Apache religion of their thunder

god.

The Superstition Mountains got their
name in the 1800s when pioneers heard

from the local Native Americans about
people mysteriously disappearing or

suddenly dying after entering the sacred
mountain range.

But in spite of these warnings, settlers
often did not view the Superstition

Mountains with such reverence.

For those who came to the Superstition
Mountains during the Wild West era in

search of gold, the Superstition
Mountains, like every other part of the

American landscape, were a resource
waiting to be tapped.

This was a place of possibility. This
was a place of possible wealth.

We tend to associate this idea of
westward expansion with discovery, when,

course, there were humans there all
along for centuries who already had an

existing relationship with that land.

They knew what was in it and had their
own belief about what was an appropriate

way to interact with this landscape.

The Apache were not happy to see these
settlers coming into their sacred land

and, according to legend, put a curse on
the land that would result in the

deaths of anybody who tried to mine the
Superstition Mountain.

Because they believed that to do so is
to risk angering the Thunder God.

There are those who believe the curse of
the Superstition Mountains is both real

and deadly.

As evidence, they point to a curious
treasure mystery that took place in the

mountains over the course of more than
100 years.

The story begins with the untimely
demise of the Peraltus, a family of

prospectors who went searching for gold
in the Superstitions in the 1840s.

The Peralta family were supposedly the
Spanish that came first to mine in the

Superstition Wilderness.

And they worked several mines in an area
where there was gold, there was silver,

and they mined for both.

As the story goes, the Spanish Peralta
family amassed crude bullion bars

from their mine.

And what I mean by crude, that would be
made of gold, silver, copper, and lead.

And they stored this wealth in a hidden
drift underground.

And then suddenly, the Apache attacked
the miners.

The Apaches got tired of them being
there and destroying the natural beauty

this place.

They were intruders.

And the Apache in 1848 wiped them out.

After the massacre, the Apaches
reportedly buried the gold.

and backfilled the mine in order to
appease the Thunder God.

But since that time, treasure hunters
have not been scared off by the fate of

the Peralta family or the supposed
curse.

Over the years, thousands of fortune
seekers have journeyed to the

Mountains in search of the lost gold.

The desire to find the hidden resources,
to find this treasure that history

tells us is there, is exciting people to
this day.

And that sense of possibility and
potential, that there's still more

more prosperity to be had, is something
that is really hard to squash.

According to some estimates, at least
600 people have lost their lives

for gold in the Superstition Mountains.

Many of these people died in bizarre and
gruesome ways that defy explanation,

perhaps lending credence to the notion
that the mountains are actually cursed.

The most famous of these incidents was
the death of a man named Adolf Ruth.

Back in the 1930s, there was Adolph
Ruth.

He was a treasure hunter, amongst other
things, and he came out here to hunt the

actual mine.

And he disappeared, and after about six
months, they found his head and his body

separated.

It became nationally known, and a lot of
people wanted to come out looking for

the mine because of Adolph Ruth.

There's good reason to believe that
there could be a curse on the

Mountains. A lot of people have died
prospecting for gold, and bodies have

found with their head missing, which
seems like something that couldn't

from natural causes and something that
may have some kind of supernatural

origin.

In an interesting way, the stories of
Native American curses are a way of

commemorating the dark history of the
land and acknowledging that The original

inhabitants were forced off of the land
and in many cases killed.

It's about remembering that the present
situation was arrived at through some

dark actions.

Could a curse really be protecting a
hidden fortune deep within the

Mountains?

The land's name and troubling history
certainly makes it a distinct

But... There is another treasure that is
not concealed by a curse, but rather a

code. It is known as the Beale Cipher,
and solving it could finally reveal a

cache of missing gold.

Bedford County, Virginia.

This rural area is filled with rolling
foothills, patchy forests.

and quaint farms and cottages.

But there are those who believe that
Bedford County also holds the answer to

200 -year -old mystery.

The mystery of the Beale Dragon.

Thomas J. Beale was an educated man from
here in the local area in the 1820s.

And him and a bunch of his buddies went
out west for an adventure.

They were young and rich and educated
and wanted to see the west.

Thomas Beale and his compatriots, said
to be up to 30 people, traveled first to

St. Louis. Then they traveled north into
Colorado, where they were said to have

found a deposit of gold and silver,
which they worked for several months,

then transported back to Virginia.

hiding it in a vault somewhere in
Bedford County.

A hidden vault filled with millions in
gold and silver?

It's certainly an incredible story.

But that's not why we're still talking
about the Beale treasure today.

The real reason why it's become so
famous and sought after is because of

ingenious way Thomas Beale decided to
hide his fortune.

No one really knows why Thomas Beale
decided to hide the treasure, but it

be because at the time this was found,
Colorado was still part of Spain, and if

they would have been caught mining
there, it would have been a capital

and they would have gotten in a lot of
trouble.

We do know that Thomas Beale gave a box
to Robert Morris in Lynchburg, Virginia,

who ran a boarding house there.

In about 1822, with instructions for him
not to open it until 1832.

Beale goes, I want you to keep this for
safekeeping, because I'll be back in

about 10 years, and if I'm not, you're
free to open it up and figure out what's

going on.

But as the story goes, Thomas Beale
never returned. He disappeared and was

seen or heard from again.

So, naturally, Mr. Morris began to
wonder.

What's in the box?

About 20 years later, Mr. Morse goes,
oh, yeah, that's right. It's been more

than 10 years.

I can open up this box.

He opens up the box, and there are three
letters that are all written in

numbers.

It was like 12, 537, 16, 8, just a bunch
of numbers.

And Mr. Morse is like, okay, I have no
idea how to solve this.

Thomas Beale had written the three notes
using a simple but effective secret

code that is known as a book cipher.

This technique replaces letters with
numbers, creating a code based on a

source document.

But until you know what document the
numbers correspond to, it's impossible

decode the cipher and reveal the secret
message.

It was a type of encryption used a lot
during the Revolutionary War, and the

numbers would indicate line numbers and
word numbers within, like, a dictionary

or a law manual or something like that.

It's fairly secure, provided that you
keep the identity of the book or source

material secret.

Since no one knew what text Thomas Beale
had used as his cipher, the three

messages remain unsolved for decades.

That is, until 1885, when a man named
James B. Ward began selling a 50 -cent

pamphlet which revealed that Beale had
used a surprising document as the cipher

for the second message, the Declaration
of Independence.

What Thomas Beale had done was he wrote
a number under each word of the

Declaration of Independence in order.

So starting at the first word, 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, all the way down to the 800s or

the 900s.

And so he took the I in the first word
of the message and looked for a word

starting with the letter I in the
Declaration of Independence.

And then he picked one of them and
looked at the number that he had written

underneath it and used that number to
stand for that letter I.

And so he continued to the next letter
in his message, wrote down the number

associated with that word, and then
continued along to create this long

of numbers.

Apparently what he had done was he
encoded three messages, one of which

described the contents of the treasure,
another describing its location, and

then the third note describes the owners
of the treasure and their relatives.

Mr. Ward took the Declaration of
Independence.

and was able to compare that with the
one letter, and he was able to figure

how that worked.

Mr. Ward was able to translate.

I've deposited in the county of Bedford,
about four miles from Beaufort, six

feet below the surface of the ground, 1
,014 pounds of gold and 3 ,812

pounds of silver, deposited November
1819.

If the description of the contents of
the vault, if it's truthful,

the treasure is estimated to be worth
about $40 million in today's money. So

obviously that's a very compelling
motivation to find the solutions for the

other ciphers.

But the first letter, which says exactly
where it's located, has never been

decoded.

So which is one reason why people don't
know where exactly it's within those

four miles.

One place that is located within the
four -mile area that Beale described is

farm owned by a man named Danny Johnson,
which is why, for decades, people have

been coming to his property in search of
the Beale treasure.

People from all over the world have been
here to find that treasure, and every

single one of them has a different idea
of where the treasure is buried.

And some people have dug without
permission.

There's probably been, I don't know how
many holes dug right around me.

Every single one of them believes that
they have broken the code.

You've got generations of researchers
that are coming and looking for this

and silver.

You're talking about a lot of money.

And I think that's why people are still
looking for it.

Will the confounding codes of Thomas
Beale's cipher ever be solved?

Well, for now, the location of the
prospector's fortune remains lost to

But there's another rich mystery whose
origins date back thousands of years.

It concerns the wealth of King Solomon
and a trove of gold that was once hidden

in a temple bearing his name.

In the deserts of southern Israel lies a
mountainous region that is called the

Timna Valley.

Today, this area is known for its
uniquely shaped sandstone cliffs.

But more than 3 ,000 years ago, the
Timna Valley was the site of a vast

network of copper mines.

In the Timna Valley, mining activity
took place for a long, long time. And

of the mining operations took place
underground.

The deepest is about 115 feet.

They would hew in the ground circular
shafts. And going down that shaft,

they would cut step into the side of the
shaft.

And they would tunnel along
horizontally.

where they would extract the copper and
take it back up to the surface.

In recent years, the Timnah mines have
attracted attention because there are

those who believe that buried
underground in one of these deep tunnels

legendary lost treasure of the biblical
King Solomon.

In the Old Testament of the Bible, King
Solomon is described as a noble and wise

ruler of Israel.

Historians believe that Solomon was a
real person who lived in the 10th

BC.

King Solomon is an intriguing figure
because the Bible makes so many claims

about him, controlling vast amounts of
territory.

According to the Bible, Solomon expanded
ancient Israel considerably, from the

Euphrates River in the north all the way
to the river of Egypt.

and so a much more expansive territory.

The Bible also describes Solomon
controlling vast amounts of wealth.

Solomon decides to build a temple in
Jerusalem. The temple becomes

the home of God, and he spares no
expense.

And he was so committed to having the
best temple in the region.

that he actually imports the finest
materials to build this temple.

According to the Bible, Solomon's temple
was built from the best limestone and

cedar wood.

Inside, the walls were overlaid with
pure gold.

And Solomon adorned the temple with
objects made out of copper, which was

precious metal at the time.

King Solomon ruled Israel for 40 years
before dying in 931 B .C.

Upon his death, Solomon reportedly left
behind an enormous amount of gold and

other riches in his magnificent temple.

But then, in 586 B .C., the Babylonians
invaded

Jerusalem and sacked Solomon's temple.

When the Temple of Solomon was destroyed
in 586 BCE, all the temple treasures

were lost to history.

And the ancient legend says that
Solomon's treasures were taken out of

and buried.

There are those who believe that the
treasures are to this day still hidden.

For centuries, the legend of King
Solomon's lost treasure has been a

fascination and mystery.

In 1885, the story was exposed to a
wider audience when author H .R. Haggard

wrote his famous novel, King Solomon's
Mines, which speculated that Solomon's

treasures were hidden deep in an
underground mineshaft.

But if there is some truth to this
legend, then where?

is King Solomon's Treasure buried.

For some, the most likely location is
the Timna Mines.

The Timna Valley is located not more
than 150 miles from Jerusalem.

So we're talking about close proximity.

At Timna, there are 10 ,000 mine shafts,
maybe more.

And so it's easy for people to kind of
say,

There must be a connection.

In the last several decades, numerous
researchers have tried to prove that the

Timna mines are, in fact, the hiding
place of King Solomon's lost treasures.

Some of the first evidence in support of
this theory was found by an

archaeologist named Nelson Gluck, who
conducted a series of excavations at

in the 1930s.

Nelson Gluck made a huge study of the
copper mines, smelting works, and also

the camps of those that were there.

And what he found under the ground was
pottery dating

from the 9th to 10th century BC.

And this was the exact time frame of the
reign of King Solomon.

And so for Nelson Gluck, he felt that he
had discovered evidence

of Solomon's mine.

Nelson Gluck's discoveries made
sensational headlines around the world.

However, despite years of searching,
Gluck was unable to locate the fabled

treasure.

And some experts began to think that
Gluck was wrong.

to associate the Timna mines with King
Solomon.

But then, in 2019, a team of
archaeologists, led

by Professor Aris Ben Yosef of Tel Aviv
University, made a remarkable discovery.

While excavating an ancient mining
worksite at Timna, that is referred to

Slave's Hill, they found more evidence
that links this location to King

Slaves Hill is the largest copper
smelting site in Tina Valley.

It's located on a sandstone mesa
surrounded by cliffs.

And when you go to these sites, you find
a lot of organic materials that you can

send to be dated.

We used the Oxford lab in England.

We were in shock when the radiocarbon
dates came back from the lab.

The dates are for sure from the time of
King Solomon.

From about 1020 BCE all the way to the
mid -9th century BCE.

And so it's back in discussion if these
were King Solomon's mines or not.

It seems that the truth about the
structure of biblical proportions will

continue to be unearthed, one artifact
and one clue at a time.

But there is another fortune.

Not buried in the Holy Land, but rather
in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New

York. The story involves a seasoned
mobster, a murder, and a very large

stash of missing cash.

Phoenicia, upstate New York.

This quaint town at the base of the
Catskills is primarily known for being a

popular vacation destination.

But it is also known as the hiding place
of an incredible lost fortune.

Because according to legend, somewhere
in this area, a safe was buried that

contains tens of millions of dollars in
cash, bonds, and jewelry that belonged

to a gangster named Dutch Schultz.

Dutch Schultz was one of the most iconic
early 20th century mobsters in America.

He was someone that had a name and a
reputation that spread across the

as a real tough guy.

And he became a millionaire during
Prohibition on bootlegging and various

other rackets.

Dutch Schultz became what was known as
the Beer Baron of the Bronx because

during Prohibition, it was hard to get
beer.

And if you wanted beer, you had to get
it from Dutch Schultz.

Because he controlled everything above
57th Street and in the Bronx.

In the early 1930s, the FBI started
building a case against Dutch Schultz in

effort to crack down on organized crime.

The investigation was led by U .S.
Attorney Thomas Dewey.

Thomas Dewey was a very smart
prosecutor.

He went methodically after all of the
criminals.

So Dutch became so paranoid that he
wanted to bury his wealth before they

take it.

Supposedly, while he was under
indictment, Dutch Schultz had a

constructed for him that was airproof,
soundproof, weatherproof.

Him and his bodyguard put what was
thought to be anywhere between $5 and

million in that safe.

as well as jewelry and bonds.

And they allegedly took that safe up to
the Catskills and

buried it somewhere.

The Dutch Schultz treasure is an
intriguing notion because one of the

allegedly put into the treasure box were
Liberty bonds.

These are simply bonds that could be
redeemed at a future date for more than

value you paid for them.

But... No liberty bond associated with
Dutch Schultz or any of his accomplices

has ever been redeemed.

This is used as one of the clues that
this treasure is still at large.

If it's true that the lost treasure of
Dutch Schultz does in fact exist, then

where could it be hidden?

Well, according to many researchers, the
most likely place is somewhere along an

old brook named Stony Clove Creek.

Even though Dutch was a city kid, he
knew the Catskills well because that's

where he had his stills making the
whiskey.

He'd stay at the Phoenicia Hotel and
then drive up and look at all of his

stills. Back in 1935, there was a train
that went from New York

City up to the Catskills.

It went through this area near Stony
Clove Creek and Phoenicia.

One station was called Lanesville, which
was really nothing more than a little

shack.

At that time, Dutch was afraid of being
nabbed in a checkpoint with the

treasure.

So treasure hunters have theorized that
he got off the train at Lanesville,

buried the treasure somewhere along the
banks of the Stony Clove Creek, because

it's extremely remote.

Is it possible that the lost treasure of
Dutch Schultz is buried somewhere along

the banks of Stony Clove Creek?

We may never know for sure because in
1935, a rival gangster named Charlie

Luciano ordered a hit on Dutch Schultz.

Dutch Schultz had set up his operation
at the Palace Chop House.

The small...

restaurant bar establishment in Newark,
New Jersey, and two assassins, Charles

the Bug Workman and Mendy Weiss, walk
into the bar.

Charles shoots Dutch twice.

And there's that famous picture of Dutch
Schultz with his head on the table

after he's been shot twice.

He's grievously injured but not dead.

Dutch Schultz was immediately rushed to
the New York hospital. And some

researchers believe that on his
deathbed, Dutch left a final clue as to

his treasure vault is buried.

During his deathbed rant, he's giving
little tidbits of possible information

about his treasure.

At one point he says, don't let Satan
draw you too fast.

That could just be a ramble.

But some treasure hunters believe this
line could be a reference to a

formation in the town of Phoenicia
called the Devil's Rock.

There have been scores of treasure
hunters trying to find this treasure up

the Catskills around Phoenicia. It is
worth so much that today you could

probably buy a fleet of jumbo jets with
just what's in that treasure box.

And that's why everyone's looking for
it.

Kerala, India, 2011.

Heavily armed police officers patrol the
entrance to an ancient Hindu temple,

the Sri Padmanabh Swami Temple.

By order of India's Supreme Court,
officials began unsealing six mysterious

vaults, which have remained locked
beneath the temple for hundreds of

And when archaeologists examined the
first five vaults, they found untold

billions in ancient treasure.

The government had to do an inventory of
the vault. So they did go in and they

documented everything in several of the
chambers. One chamber was just for

ornaments and jewelry. Another chamber
was for jewels.

And they were sacks and sacks of
diamonds and rubies and emeralds.

There were thrones made of gold. There
was a 300 -pound gold veil.

And there was a rope of gold chain that
was 1 ,100 pounds.

And the reason there's so much money in
this temple is because of contributions

and taxes. And that started when the
Maharajas and the rulers started taxing

lower caste system.

The total value of the treasure that was
found in the first five chambers has

been estimated to be worth as much as
$22 billion.

But when officials attempted to open the
door to the sixth and final vault, they

made a shocking discovery.

When it came to the sixth door, which
they call Chamber B, they were decorated

with cobras. This is a sign of danger,
like a skull and crossbones.

That gives you a message, do not enter
or enter on your own risk. There are

massive, huge cobras, and they can be
very deadly.

This is a forbidden place.

A forbidden place?

While that may sound like a far -fetched
notion, many believe there's a very

good reason not to tamper with Vault B.

Because, according to legend, it may be
cursed.

You could not go beyond this point,
because there are corporals, there are

Nagas.

Nagas are the mythical serpents in
Hinduism.

And it has been said that when they
sealed the door, it was locked with what

call naga -pasa mantra.

It is like a spell through the naga's
mantra, it was locked.

Everyone is scared of the naga and they
are thinking that it may be cursed.

That is why, you know, people do not
dare to open it. It could cause many

consequences.

based on what they've heard, that people
fear that the world will end if that

chamber is opened.

So they're really reticent about doing
anything.

Whenever you hear a story that there is
trillions of dollars worth of buried

treasure, people are always going to
want to know more.

This temple is not hidden. This temple
is very public. People know what's in

how much is in it, and what the value
is.

And yet, it's hidden to us.

Can't access it. We can't see it. We
can't touch it.

So that's the real mystery.

Would you dare to look past the cobras?

Open that sealed door and risk your life
for untold riches?

Regardless of your tolerance to tempt
fate, many brave souls have paid a steep

price on a mission to claim hidden
fortunes.

Is there any truth to the legends,
curses, and calamities that surround

treasure?

And what will be uncovered should
Blackbeard's or Thomas Beale's or Dutch

Schultz's secret stashes ever be
discovered?

Will it be gold, jewels, or piles of
money?

Oh, it's an intriguing thought that for
now remains unexplained.
