Before there was Pirates of the Caribbean, there was Treasure Island. Critics hail it as the most famous pirate story in history. Since its publication over a century ago, Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island popularized the most potent symbols of pirate lore: swashbuckling seamen, uncharted tropical islands, and dog-eared treasure maps marked with an 'X'. And now, it appears that the novel may have been inspired by a real treasure - on an island no one has ever searched - until now. The Real Treasure Island follows Alex Campus as he travels to exotic locales to unlock the true story behind a literary masterpiece. From the foggy Scottish Highlands to the sun-kissed islands of the South Pacific, Campus follows a treasure trail of clues -each one triggering dramatic recreations that tell the true story behind Stevenson's tale.

Though clean gloves prevent the transfer of natural skin oils to paper, they reduce tactile sensitivity and increase clumsiness. Studies have shown that skin oils can affect how paper ages, but some preservation experts prioritize reducing the physical risk from reduced tactility.

The biggest plunder and loot can be found all over the British Museums that the British plundered around the world from India to Ceylon to China. The British refused to return the plunder. However, the Chinese are not taking this lightly. Wealthy Chinese businessmen have hired professional thieves to break into these museums and steal back Chinese artifacts and priceless valuables. Not only British museums were broken into and reported stolen Chinese artifacts but German and French museums have reported break-ins also by thieves.

Title: Pirates of the Caribbean movie inspiration. Real topic: How "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson likely got its inspiration. While both have pirates and are fiction, these aren't exactly the same thing. The movies are about rescuing someone you love while Treasure Island is best described as a coming of age story.

The whole opening premise of this is ridiculous .

I think you are being economical with the facts of what were narrated. It intimated that, "he introduced the world to tales of pirates and buried treasure". One million copies in forty different languages. Well, to be honest he did, as his books were so widely published, and used as educational reading in schools around the world. Books being written with simple words and a gripping story helps keeps the students concentration. Maybe not in today's world but pre 1970's it was books of "derring-do" that were used in schools, and introduced extended vocabulary.

Absolute history is Absolutely full of conjecture. Very interesting but very little facts. One important detail missing is how long the ship that stole the treasure was gone before the men returned, claiming the vessel sank. Compare that timeline to how long it would have taken to get to Samoa and back. That's very telling. Like most theories, we may never know. The trouble with all new ideas is the desperate need to be taken seriously and the money potential clouds the waters, often distorting and inflating ideas out of proportion to fit a new interpretation of history. Still fun to think about though.

@michaelfercik3691 Год назад

The only thing missing in this story is how pirates used dowsing for locating treasure once it has been buried. The fabled X marks the spot the treasure is buried came from only those who were close to the treasure could dowse from ninety-degree offset passes for marking the X exactly on top of the buried treasure. Read the book The Art of Dowsing - Separating Science from Superstition for learning the physics in dowsing and how to accurately decipher what is being dowsed.

Stephenson; Did not have all his treasure at his Estate. Story goes; When Stephenson moved his new aquired treasure, He kept to the concept of only keeping money in his safe. Most of his treasure was good and silver. He had to smelt that. So when he was transporting goods to where he was, He would pay in bullion, which was the way of the day. They would have been contacted beforehand by ships traveling the sea, or mail as we call it today but, That took time. A year later your ship shows up buys the merchandise and sails home. Anyways. There is still a lot of his treasure still there. Still HIDDEN? You just need to find it. At least that's how I heard it told?

It's a cute story -- almost as cute as Treasure Island. But there are a few questions: (1) Why did Thompson bury the treasure instead of going somewhere that he could spend it on wine, women, etc.? Which is what almost any self-respecting pirate would do. There are plenty of places he could convert the treasure to cash and live like a king -- not least of them China or Indonesia; (2) Why did he sink his ship? (3) Why in the everlovin' blue-eyed world did he return -- of all places -- to the scene of the crime??!! And (4) Why did he never go back and try to recover the treasure? ["Try" is the operant word. I've buried cash myself.] I don't need to ask why nobody (except a rather foolish fictional man) has yet found the treasure trove. That's pretty obvious to anybody with even half a brain.

Ignoring the balant silliness of 'where did all of RLS money come from', pirates hiding treasure was kind of a known and romanticized thing.

At that time Peru was not not so much in the midst of a civil war but of expulsion of the spanish, in no small part thanks to the efforts of Thomas Cochrane. As such the priests had no realistic prospect of returning to the previous status quo, let alone hiding, then retrieving the items to place them back in the church. Furthermore, the notion that the spanish clergy would trust a british seaman is laughable. From Drake up until the aforementioned Cochrane, british captains had long been their main antagonists in the region. I find the plot of "Treasure Island", which is fictional somewhat more plausible than what's discussed in this "documentary".
