Book excerpt: A young couple travels by car around a lake in Marshland, within the Portobello coast. The tour they perform brings them several memoirs about an ancient treasure, supposedly brought there by the Normans when founding a colony in Murtoyland, a small town on the edge of lake Avia. The treasure hunt begins guided by some old maps the protagonists carry with them. Although, will they ever reach such a treasure? During my life as a student, I lived in a shared house – a cottage with doors and windows all the time very well maintained and painted, in a street by the High School. The Landlady outstanding for her waxed floor, and, alas!, if her guests or even her children, put at shoe or a toe, out of carpets inside ways! To reach our rooms, we had to endeavour through a narrow corridor with access to a staircase, covered by a red plastic carpet. Our rooms were a sort of tiny little closets which walls leaned to some divans, tables and chairs. At the top of the stairs, in between rooms, the common wardrobe. By noon, we stood at the school's gate, shaking our heads, nodding, looking at the sad marks obtained in the tests assessed and delivered by our teachers – or cogitating about having been invited during lesson to approach the blackboard. Beautiful object was, no doubt, that black-heavy-slate attached to the wall, looking moreover like a sad night rather than an object made of stone. It was a sort of consolation prize after the small framed slate that we carried along with manuals in Primary School: instead of transporting it, we were, thereby it, carried on during lessons. After school, by noon, I went home for lunch where I could immediately feel the habitual chickpea-soup-ill-fated smell. Sitting at the table, eating the bloody chickpea-soup and listening to the news, as Radio Renaissance was all the time tuned up throughout the building. Portobello's news service was usually concerned, about events that just happened to occur abroad. This was followed by a comedy of the preference of our hostess, a woman of dried breasts and feelings who boasted her guests to be anaphylaxis, well treated, very clean and tidy. We were a sort of pets, entrusted by our stupid mums to others of the same resemblance, who, in turn, entrusted us to our teachers. Our readings and hobbies contained affinities to some techniques used in treasure discovery and excavations, so, as to operate on firm land and underwater, such as the use of diving technique using bottled oxygen and mask. In my Grammar School year 8, by remarkable coincidence, the nine subjects that comprised the curriculum for that year, were ministered by nine different young female teachers. In the awakening of sexuality, spending the whole day listening to beautiful, well dressed masters, chattering about numeracy and literacy was, indeed, very exciting. Staring all day turning our eyes to the knees of some less prudish young governesses, or to be lucky enough to glimpse

Download or read book The Secret written by Byron Preiss and published by ibooks. This book was released on 2016-10-05 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tale begins over three-hundred years ago, when the Fair People—the goblins, fairies, dragons, and other fabled and fantastic creatures of a dozen lands—fled the Old World for the New, seeking haven from the ways of Man. With them came their precious jewels: diamonds, rubies, emeralds, pearls... But then the Fair People vanished, taking with them their twelve fabulous treasures. And they remained hidden until now... Across North America, these twelve treasures, over ten-thousand dollars in precious jewels, are buried. The key to finding each can be found within the twelve full color paintings and verses of The Secret. Yet The Secret is much more than that. At long last, you can learn not only the whereabouts of the Fair People's treasure, but also the modern forms and hiding places of their descendants: the Toll Trolls, Maitre D'eamons, Elf Alphas, Tupperwerewolves, Freudian Sylphs, Culture Vultures, West Ghosts and other delightful creatures in the world around us. The Secret is a field guide to them all. Many "armchair treasure hunt" books have been published over the years, most notably Masquerade (1979) by British artist Kit Williams. Masquerade promised a jewel-encrusted golden hare to the first person to unravel the riddle that Williams cleverly hid in his art. In 1982, while everyone in Britain was still madly digging up hedgerows and pastures in search of the golden hare, The Secret: A Treasure Hunt was published in America. The previous year, author and publisher Byron Preiss had traveled to 12 locations in the continental U.S. (and possibly Canada) to secretly bury a dozen ceramic casques. Each casque contained a small key that could be redeemed for one of 12 jewels Preiss kept in a safe deposit box in New York. The key to finding the casques was to match one of 12 paintings to one of 12 poetic verses, solve the resulting riddle, and start digging. Since 1982, only two of the 12 casques have been recovered. The first was located in Grant Park, Chicago, in 1984 by a group of students. The second was unearthed in 2004 in Cleveland by two members of the Quest4Treasure forum. Preiss was killed in an auto accident in the summer of 2005, but the hunt for his casques continues.

Download or read book The Dreaming Treasure written by Dave McFather and published by BookRix. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young couple travels by car around a lake in Marshland, within the Portobello coast.The tour they perform brings them several memoirs about an ancient treasure, supposedly brought there by the Normans when founding a colony in Murtoyland, a small town on the edge of lake Avia. The treasure hunt begins guided by some old maps the protagonists carry with them. Although, will they ever reach such a treasure? NOTICE: Port Obal is the name of an ancient Phoenician port that is thought to have been situated on the northern banks of lake Avia, also known as Ria or the Haff. In this narrative many names of places like villages, towns and cities, are used but only a few of them are coincident with the current or original name. Merging Past with Present, the narrator makes the reader watching to ancient historic scenes such as the invasion of Murtoyland by the Normans, who left forgotten treasures in those territories, and presents the readers with a brief visit to the ruins of the ancient Fort of Car Regal and to the lost giant Towers of the Ria. The Marshland islands are a grateful stopover to the narrator and his girlfriend Michaela, once it allows them to describe the animal and plant biodiversity on these Islands that currently proliferate through the Haff due to increasing council drainage interventions that are the source and the knot of discord generated by different political ideologies in Port Obal and Aviarium cities. Nevertheless the treasure left by the Normans is still there, where the Normans left it, we are to assure you. Question is: Who will be the lucky one to find this Norman Treasure?

Download or read book A Modern Legal History of Treasure written by N.M. Dawson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-06 with total page 639 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines treasure law and practice from the rise of the new science of archaeology in the early Victorian period to the present day. Drawing on largely-unexamined state records and other archives, the book covers several legal jurisdictions: England and Wales, Scotland, Ireland pre- and post-independence, and post-partition Northern Ireland. From the Mold gold cape (1833) to the Broighter hoard (1896), from Sutton Hoo (1939) to the Galloway hoard (2014), the law of treasure trove, and the Treasure Act 1996, are considered through the prism of notable archaeological discoveries, and from the perspectives of finders, landowners, archaeologists, museum professionals, collectors, the state, and the public. Literally and metaphorically, treasure law is revealed as a ground-breaking chapter in the history of the legal protection of cultural property and cultural heritage in Britain and Ireland.

Download or read book The Mammoth and the Treasure Hunt written by AQEEL AHMED and published by AQEEL AHMED. This book was released on 2023-10-18 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Mammoth and the Treasure Hunt," a sweet book for kids, is about a young mammoth named Max who lives in a green valley surrounded by tall mountains. Max is different from the other animals in the valley because he is always interested in new things and has big dreams. Max's best friends are Ellie the elephant, Leo the lion, Ollie the owl, and Timmy the turtle. They are a diverse group of animals, and each has its own unique traits. Max is very happy as he sits with his friends under a big oak tree on a warm morning. He talks about a vivid dream in which he saw a shiny gold chest buried deep in the mountains. His friends are interested in his dream, so they plan to go on a treasure hunt together. Max tells them about their plan and stresses that the treasure isn't just money, but also the information, lessons, and memories they'll make along the way. They will have to be brave, smart, and work together as they go on this trip through rough terrain, deep woods, and freezing streams. Along the way, they find secret caves, beautiful waterfalls, and friendly animals that tell them stories and help them find their way. Their journey is marked by puzzles, problems, and learning how important it is to work together. Ollie the owl gives Max a puzzle to solve one night around the campfire, which Max does very well. This shows that their goal isn't just about getting a physical treasure; it's also about working together to overcome problems and find solutions. They go deeper into the mountains until they reach the middle of the range and find a secret cave that is lit by a warm golden light. There, instead of gold or jewels, they find a box full of scrolls and books with stories and information from past generations. Max knows this is the treasure he had been looking for: knowledge gleaned over many years, the thrill of going on trips together, and the bond of true friendship. They gather around the box, and each of them takes out a scroll to read out loud. They are happy and laughing. They know that the journey itself and the memories they've made together are the most valuable things. As they walk back to their lush green valley, they carry the weight of new knowledge and the unbreakable value of friendship. They know that their connection will stay strong no matter where their adventures take them, helping them through all the exciting things that are yet to come. "The Mammoth and the Treasure Hunt" is a sweet story about how friendship, dreams, and shared adventures can make life more meaningful. Children learn that the most important things in life are often found on the trip and in the people, we meet along the way. Story Begins: Max, a young mammoth, lived in a beautiful green valley tucked away between tall mountains. This beautiful scenery was the setting for Max's amazing life, which made him different from the other mammoths in the valley. Max was amazing and a sign of being unique. He captured the hearts of everyone who knew him. His sheer size was amazing, and his huge frame was an ode to the beauty of the natural world. Max was unique not only because of his size, but also because of the wonder in his eyes, the thrill seeking spirit in his heart, and the dreams that grew inside him. Max was always interested in new things, so he went exploring in the valley he called home. Max would get lost in the thick forests, drawn there by the wind's whispers and the secrets hidden in the old trees. Other mammoths were happy to graze on the tasty, soft grasses. He would study the ice streams in the valley by following their winding paths with unwavering dedication. Because he was so interested in everything, every rock and flower seemed like a prize waiting to be found. He had an adventurous spirit that knew no bounds. Max would often get together with his friends, a group of different animals from the valley, and take them on exciting adventures into the unknown. They did everything from climbing the highest peaks of the nearby mountains to jumping into pools of clear water that were hidden deep in the trees. Max's excitement made his friends want to go on adventures with him because they knew any trip with him would be full of surprises and fun. But Max's dreamy heart might have been what made him unique. He had dreams that were as big as the mountains that circled the valley and as high as the birds that flew so gracefully through the sky. Max dreamed of finding lost treasures, figuring out the mysteries of the world, and making his mark on the history of time. Not only were his dreams just wild thoughts, but they were also what kept him going and gave him hope when things got hard in real life.

Download or read book Treasure Hunter written by W.C. Jameson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-11-05 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: W.C. Jameson was an active treasure hunter for more than fifty years. He has fallen from cliffs, had ropes break during climbs, been caught in mine shaft cave-ins, contended with flash floods, been shot at, watched men die, and had to deal with rattlesnakes, water moccasins, scorpions, and poisonous centipedes. He has fled for his life from park rangers, policemen, landowners, competitors, corporate mercenaries, and drug runners. He has also discovered enough treasure to pay for his own house and finance his and his children’s education. With his enigmatic treasure-hunter partners, Slade, Stanley, and Poet, Jameson's stories are worthy of an Indiana Jones film—except that they are all true.
