The key and the date of its 1st publication comes from the code, and is verified by the code. The doi was written and signed in 1776. John dunlap, a philly printer printed hundreds of copies of the unsigned doi on july 5, 1776, which were distributed to the 13 colonies, public officials, etc. Icehouse and gang are not hunting anything. It has already been found. The only proveable point within the beale papers, and the "supposed deciphered c2 is the actual printing date of the pamplet itself. You can not prove 1819 nor 1822, not the amounts of treasure but you can use the dates and amounts in the breaking of the code, and verification within the code, proves the codework. You can not prove morris owned the hotel at the correct time. You can not even prove beale. But you can garner much real info from the unprovable. I tried telling all here, the story, the papers, the "supposed deciphered c2 are nothing but what ecs calls a dime store novel, except, this particular novel contains many clues to the breaking of the code. There was no 1822 burial, no 1819 burial, no 2 trips with santa fe treasure but that info alone is very important to correct decipherment, same as "old virginia". There is a reason that many things can not be verified as true in the story. Mainly because they are not true in the sense of the story or history, but, are very true in the decipherment. But that is something i tried previously to get across to several here without much luck, so, instead of wasting my time I will leave you all to your own devices to figure it out, or not, yourselves. I merely posted the update on the website here for people with true interest. , I may update again as new chapters are opened. Have fun.
