The cryptogram

Some people interprete the lines and the symbols on the Peralta Stones as a map. Allegedly this map indicates the location of the so-called Lost Dutchman’s Gold Mine. The numbers on the stones are believed by some to be a formula for the map scale.

Some other hypotheses say that the stones don’t lead to a gold mine but to a treasure or a buried vault containing valuable art objects.

Others think the symbols encode a message. Some even claim to have deciphered the message. For instance, the following cleartext was proposed: “Be ready boy, are on a map on Arizona county scale, scale map.” Many other theories exist, but neither a gold mine nor a treasure has never been found.

As I am still new to this topic, I can’t go into detail about all the stories that have been published about the Peralta Stones. If you consult Google, you will find numerous websites about the stones and the theories surrounding them.

There seems to be serious doubt that the Peralta Stones are genuine and that the gold mine (or the treasure or the art vault) really exists. As a skeptic I am generally doubtful about stories like these. For a critical treatise of the Peralta Stones check here. If you have a different opinion or if you have an idea how to decipher the engravings, please let me know.

    There is a great story that touches on these stones:

    Try to grasp the size of this “land grant” and the background work to claim it. Two attempts.

    Läuft gerade auf ZDF Info

    Mythen-Jäger – Das verfluchte Gold des Montezuma

    da werden die Steine erwähnt.

    Könnte man vielleicht in der ZDF Mediathek finden.

    Loved this article! PS: Is that the Voynich manuscript in your profile photo?

    @Abhishek: Yes, it’s a facsimile of the Voynich manuscript.

    These petroglyphs seem a hoax. There are some strange misspellings in Spanish. I don’t know if they were made on purpose or not but it’s a bit odd.

    •The Spanish text of the Priest map:
    “Esta bereda es peligroza
    Yo boy 18 lugares
    Busca el mapa
    Busca el coazon”
    (Translation: This path is dangerous/I go to 18 places/Search for the map/search for the heart).
    But “vereda”, “peligrosa”, “voy (a)” and “corazón” are misspelled.

    •The Spanish text of the Horse map:
    “El cobollo de Santa Fe
    Yo pasto al norte del río”.
    (Translation: The horse of Santa Fe/I graze to the north of the river).
    The word ‘cobollo’ doesn’t exist but ‘caballo’.
    The text seems to have been written by an illiterate person, I guess. Or a non native person.
    I think it’s just a guide map to old mines where Pedro and Miguel could have worked in the past.

    Well, before sending this comment I have been looking for the strange word ‘cobollo’.
    I have found out the family name Cobollo does really exist and it’s located in New Mexico. So now I don’t know if this will have something to do with these stones.
