Antiquity of the idea

Chief Swift Hawk and his party of renegades buried the plunder, then
consecrated the treasure to the tribe by staging a Ghost Dance and placing a
curse upon anyone attempting to recover this treasure.

Believing that the curse was sufficient to guard the treasure, Swift Hawk
arrogantly inscribed directions to the treasure in the form of a petroglyph on
a rock close to the treasure. Since this inscription could only be read by
Paiutes, and they wouldn’t dare to translate it for anyone else, Swift Hawk
was certain this treasure would remain hidden.

This rock carving has steadfastly defied nature, as well as a parade of
treasure hunters eager to unlock the code, and is still waiting to be
deciphered and lead some lucky treasure hunter to untold wealth. To delve into
the history of this treasure we go back to the days of the alleged Mormon War
when Brigham Young’s secret army, the Danites, was massacring all non-members
who unwittingly wandered into the Mormon territory of Utah.
