GEOSPATIAL TRIANGULATION AND LOGISTICAL MODELING OF THE BEALE CIPHER DATASET: SITE IDENTIFICATION AT THE 2018-FT ELEVATION DATUM
Abstract
This dataset provides a specialized geospatial reconstruction of the location described in the 1822 Beale Ciphers (No. 1 and No. 3). Abandoning traditional linguistic decryption, this model utilizes Forensic Geodesy to interpret numerical strings as topographic markers. The analysis correlates a specific 330° azimuth vector from Montvale, VA, with the 2018-foot elevation contour of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The data identifies a terminal coordinate at 37.445833, -79.620833, specifying a sub-surface vault containing 30 iron vessels. This resource serves as a predictive model for non-invasive archaeological surveying.
