Download or read book Drake s Treasure written by Robert L. Stupack and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-03-21 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It took the genius of Sir Francis Drake and an army of men to bury the contents of a Spanish Treasure Galleon somewhere in the land Drake called Nova Albion, and the only evidence they left behind was a small brass plaque that claimed the land for England. It only took one man to unravel the 400-year-old mystery surrounding the treasure's location and contents and he found it in his own backyard. Uncovering the Treasure of Sir Francis Drake and the Theft of His Plate of Brass follows the true adventures of Robert Stupack, who buys a house on Greenbrae Ridge in one of America's wealthiest areas, Marin County, and is told by a neighbor that Sir Francis Drake's famous -Plate of Brass- was discovered on his street. While walking along an undeveloped hillside between his property and San Francisco Bay, Stupack finds a weather worn stone carving of an Aztec warrior. When an antiquities dealer positively identifies the alabaster piece as dating from the early 1500s, Stupack instinctively knows that Drake's fabled treasure is buried somewhere on his property. After reading about Drake's life, Stupack uses a copy of the -treasure map, - formally known as the Hondius Broadside Map of 1595, aligning its images with key features on his property. His calculated test excavations with a shovel and jackhammer quickly transform his once magnificently landscaped back yard into a disaster area. When his ex-wife and family learn of his activities, they are convinced that he's lost his mind and have the police drag him off to a psych ward where he's placed in a straight-jacket and kept in a locked room on a 72-hour hold. Their efforts do not dissuade him from continuing his quest! His early excavations, guided by Drake's clever use of different colored clay, provide important clues as to where the treasure is hidden, prompting Stupack to dig a series of tunnels. However, the various kinds of clay turn out to contain high levels of boron, selenium and arsenic that severely sicken him. Now, wearing layers of clothing to protect him from the toxins, he follows these clay clues, zigzagging downward until he's 36 feet below ground level. Along the way he finds a cache of Brazilian diamonds; a -missing- Incan artifact, -The Emerald Goddess; a large round stone covered in gold, and an incredible array of precious and semi-precious stones. Numerous times, he narrowly escapes potentially fatal booby-traps that employ quicksand, collapsing rooms and flooding tunnels, all designed by Drake to prevent anyone but him from recovering the treasure. Two years into his project and exactly 423 years after the date in the Plate of Brass inscription, Stupack discovers the set of missing tools used to create Drake's artifact. In the 1970s the Plate had been discredited as a fake, but now Stupack knows better. He meets with the Acting Director of the Bancroft Library to inform him that he's found something that can change that -worthless fake- back into a -priceless artifact.- After metallurgical tests are conducted on the tools, the Bancroft staff suddenly stop responding to Stupack's calls and emails, and he suspects that something is seriously wrong. His internet sleuthing reveals the probable cause: that same Acting Director was the one responsible for discrediting the Plate back in the '70s by misquoting the opinion of the authentication team's lead scientist. Stupack also learns of one other man who knew about this crime, whose death certificate shows that arsenic poisoning was a contributing factor in his early demise.

Download or read book Great Tales from English History written by Robert Lacey and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2004-06-03 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With insight, humor and fascinating detail, Lacey brings brilliantly to life the stories that made England -- from Ethelred the Unready to Richard the Lionheart, the Venerable Bede to Piers the Ploughman. The greatest historians are vivid storytellers, Robert Lacey reminds us, and in Great Tales from English History, he proves his place among them, illuminating in unforgettable detail the characters and events that shaped a nation. In this volume, Lacey limns the most important period in England's past, highlighting the spread of the English language, the rejection of both a religion and a traditional view of kingly authority, and an unstoppable movement toward intellectual and political freedom from 1387 to 1689. Opening with Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and culminating in William and Mary's "Glorious Revolution," Lacey revisits some of the truly classic stories of English history: the Battle of Agincourt, where Henry V's skilled archers defeated a French army three times as large; the tragic tale of the two young princes locked in the Tower of London (and almost certainly murdered) by their usurping uncle, Richard III; Henry VIII's schismatic divorce, not just from his wife but from the authority of the Catholic Church; "Bloody Mary" and the burning of religious dissidents; Sir Francis Drake's dramatic, if questionable, part in the defeat of the Spanish Armada; and the terrible and transformative Great Fire of London, to name but a few. Here Anglophiles will find their favorite English kings and queens, villains and victims, authors and architects - from Richard II to Anne Boleyn, the Virgin Queen to Oliver Cromwell, Samuel Pepys to Christopher Wren, and many more. Continuing the "eminently readable, highly enjoyable" (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) history he began in volume I of Great Tales from English History, Robert Lacey has drawn on the most up-to-date research to present a taut and riveting narrative, breathing life into the most pivotal characters and exciting landmarks in England's history.

Somewhere down the line a revelation will hit you like a comet and when it does you will think of the first time you got your heart broken. And the second and maybe even the third. And you will finally realize the importance of it all. And you will thank them for the experiences. And you will finally bring down your walls and learn how to move on. How to forgive. How to properly heal. And you will do all of these marvelous things but also, you will never forget the way they once made you feel. You will never forget the slow burn that brokenness brings. And you will remind yourself of it every now and then... and you will do so to remember the importance of letting go and etc. To remember why you should never search for love in the same place you lost it. Why you should never search for love in the same place where it left you broken. That's the importance of love. Of going through it-to have it and cherish it... but also, to not fall victim to the same people and tragedies that made you feel even more alone. To not fall victim to all things that covered up the sun. Those lessons are valuable, therefore, it is best to learn as much as you can and love as much as you're willing to get hurt. Stay strong.
