Treasure Map That is Filled With Symbols

Karl von Mueller was a man who passed away in the 1990s and wrote a lot about buried treasure. He revealed a different kind of map that he said pointed to treasure hidden in the western United States. It is named the LUE map that contains cryptic symbols. 

What treasure that the map points to is not clear. One story says that the Spanish would store gold in a central location until there was enough to make it worth taking down to Mexico and then on to Spain. The symbols reveal how to find these caches. 

Another version says it points to the place where gold was brought into the U.S. by the Nazis during World War II to destabilize the economy. Before the plans could be carried out, Germany lost the war, and the gold remained hidden in the western deserts.

Interpreting the Symbols Will Point to Gold Deposits 

The map was first published in 1966 and was printed in a book by Mueller but where he got the map is not clear. He claimed some gold was recovered using the map. Since then, many have tried to understand what the symbols means and where they lead. 

Randy Bradford is a researcher who has studied the history of the map and how it has evolved. He gives information on the history of the map and some of the tantalizing interpretations of the symbols.
