Did we find the books Byron used to create the Secret Treasure hunt???
After years of telling listeners to use reference material from the 80's Cory Gilbert decided to do just that. Inside his World Book Encyclopedia he found direct links to the puzzle, and what may very well be Byron's reference material!

I would buy a World Book volume every week at my local grocery store as a kid. They were the first books I bought with my own money from shoveling snow. I’d buy one a week. But some were more expensive than others. And I think there might have been even a commercial for it on TV. It’s so strange and cool how this puzzle has intersected with my life and brings back so many memories. Thanks fellas!
In the Boston riddle, Byron used a quote "If Thucydides is North of Xenophon" which points to Boston. The names are on the side of the Boston library and people think this is where the solve should start. But ... If you go by the points made in this video about Byron having done research on cities, I think it's quite possible he never knew the names were up there on the library. That he always wanted the solver to start in the North End at Paul Revere's house or church which is only 200m away from Langone Park.

Out of the hundreds of names of historic people on the building, those two were likely to be there. You can find all the names from the other completed solves there for example, Mozart, Beethoven, Apelles, Pindar, Socrates, Lincoln... are all on the building, so it'd just be a magnet for any solver to go to. I think its unlikely its the correct answer to that part of the verse, especially as its like a 45 minute walk to Langone Park. It'd be really weird if it was the intended answer to that part of the verse imo.
Im a fellow the secret hunter. Im positive the painting of the pillers with a genie is Winston-Salem nc. The camel on top of the piler is the camel cigarettes logo camel cigarettes are founded in Winston-Salem. The genie is coming out of a shadow of a coffee pot. That coffee pot is the monument called the old salem coffee pot the largest coffee pot in the eastern US.
Another entertaining production, Kudos gentlemen.
Thank you for Shout out!
rewatching everything. I wish you had more KZread videos 👍
At the time, it would make sice he would have went to the local chamber of commerce, main Library and used the encyclopedias and world books. Good comments. ")
Wow! I'm sure that he used some other books as well, but this is amazing!

I know what books I'll be buying soon
This is a fun video. I like that you are trying to get into the mind of the author. It seems like a good idea. Having said that… it’s a classic case of overthinking. You don’t need encyclopedias to solve the puzzles. Or calculators. Or protractors. Or any profound knowledge. You certainly don’t need a higher degree of education. As a matter of fact, that obviously works against you. I believe a child could solve them. A person only needs to understand a couple of keys to solve them all. Funny thing is, I don’t think that the people that actually unearthed the casques even realize the rules. I plan to dig one up very soon (I don’t live near any of the major cities.) Once I have that one, I plan to use the same method to uncover the rest. I don’t want to reveal too much because I don’t want y’all to ruin my fun and dig up the casques before I can get to them. But I will say this… in this video is a key word mentioned by the guest towards the end. That one word is the lynch pin for the whole lot. And you all have been dancing around it for years. 😁 The picture. The verses. That’s all.
So...... Do you think a casque is in Milwaukee?? Do you think it can be in Lake Park??

There absolutely is one in Milwaukee as confirmed by one of the original creators. The question is where at in Milwaukee?
Can someone look to see if there is any mention of Purple Martins (members of the Swallow family).
Do you have a page that's free?
This is what you get theses days when you call the Corey hotline. ...Rhymes with allegory.
