A Little Time Ago We Watched Nicolas Cage In A Movie National Treasure,
in the movie there were lots of clues leading to the where abouts of it,
the basic plot is that a treasure hunter is in hot pursuit of a mythical treasure that has been passed down for centuries, while his employer turned enemy is onto the same path that he's on, but some of the clues seemed quite plausible like Wall Street and it's origins,(Dutch settlers had built a wall to protect themselves from Indians, priates, and other dangers),
well in the same light for nearly 150 years, a story has circulated about a hidden Civil War message engraved inside Abraham Lincoln's pocket watch, on Tuesday, museum curators confirmed it was true,
"Jonathan Dillon April 13 - 1861," part of the inscription reads, "Fort Sumpter (sic) was attacked by the rebels on the above date." Another part reads, "Thank God we have a government."The words were etched in tiny cursive handwriting and filled the the space between tiny screws and gears that jutted through the metal plate, a magnifying glass was required to read them, for further details on this historic watch go here.
