Knights of the Golden Circle treasure maps are not
created like a normal map, you must first understand it is not the
traditional “go ten paces from the palm tree” that Hollywood shows in
the movies. You must consider the overview of how the treasures were
hidden. Most treasure hunters begin a knights of the golden circle,
(KGC), treasure hunt by discovery of a single or combined treasure sign.
A single sign is never good for finding a treasure for any site, but
especially when we are dealing with the KGC sites. When you interpret
KGC data of any kind, it must be considered within the context. If you
have a single sign it has little meaning if it stands alone. It may be a
reversal sign. It may be a decoy sign, sending you in the wrong
direction entirely when you understand the context. It may even be an
old Spanish symbol as the KGC left some Spanish treasure in place and
reworked the signs to make the Spanish treasure difficult to find. The
KGC has always hidden a clue within the reworking of those signs to show
they were the ones that reworked them. So let’s get an overview of the
Knights of the Golden Circle methods of leaving data behind to identify a
KGC site or treasure.
The largest treasure map for a KGC site would be the template. These
can be very large, especially in the American southwest and Mexico where
you can see for a long distance. They grow shorter in areas such as
Missouri or Arkansas where the trees block the long distance view. Many
very large symbols are carved into the rocks, sometimes the entire rock
is carved into the shape of an animal. Yes, Pedro, the KGC did carve
huge turtles as did the Spanish. The KGC also carved symbols into the
Spanish turtles to show how they either relocated the treasure or
misdirected future treasure hunters. The template can only be
interpreted in the context of all of the symbols on the site. You must
first locate the starting point. This varies from area to area.
Remember, there were many groups that worked within the structure of the
Knights of the Golden Circle so each site will vary and must be
considered within the context.
In article two we will consider the context for interpretation of KGC
treasure maps further. You may view all of Dr. Melancon’s articles on
