...Pythagorean Quadratic Treasure Hunters Pythagorean Quadratic Treasure Hunters Introduction to Algebra Treasure Hunters Ahmed and Vanessa both have possession of one half of a complete treasure map. Ahmed’s map shows the treasure is buried in the desert 2x + 6 paces from Castle Rock. Vanessa’s map shows the treasure buried at x paces to the north and 2x + 4 paces to the east. When the two combine information, the location of the buried treasure is going to be a lot easier to find and they can share in the booty loot that they discover. Castle Rock is the lowest left point of the hypotenuse and at the bottom of the left leg and the treasure is at the furthest right point of the right leg. To factor the equation we start with the following, X2+(2x + 4)2 = (2x+6)2 Using the Pythagorean Theorem, a2+2ab+b2 i get a compound X2 +(4x216x+16)=4x2+24x+36 equation. It is then necessary to simplify using the quadratic 5x2+16x+16=4x2+24x+36 equation ax2-bx+c=0 so that I can factor. (x2+2)(x-10)=0 everything is set to zero for the zero factor X = 10 solve for x Plugging the x value for a, b, and c to the legs or the hypotenuse and what this does is it gives me the equation of how many paces it is to the treasure A= 10 B=2(10)+4 = 20+4 = 24 C=2x+6 = 2(10)+6 = 26 In conclusion, castle rock is located at the bottom left of a right hand triangle, and the treasure is 26 paces northeast of Castle...

...Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson, is a defining work of pirate literature, providing the classic and immortal image of pirates that today’s culture still identifies with the historical privateers and buccaneers. Stevenson’s image of a pirate depends deeply on the cultural and historical image of the ocean as an unknown world between worlds, which creates a unique image for the men (and women) who were able to successfully, both economically and physically, conquer the sea. Alain Corbin, in his book The Lure of the Sea, makes the point that the classic image of the pirate is both reflective of, and influenced by, the literary image of the ocean itself. Corbin writes, “As this well-known model was reiterated, it reinforced the image...

...The Lost Treasure of the Knights Templar INTRO: Over the centuries the Oak Island mystery has eluded intellectuals, researchers, historians, and treasure hunters alike. Off the shores of Nova Scotia lies Oak Island: one of several islands within Mahone Bay off the eastern Canadian coast. “To the casual observer, the 140-acre island appears like many in this part of the province … [however] the story of this island's past is replete with mystery, intrigue and even tragedy.” (Morgan) Since its initial discovery in 1795 many have tried to reveal what was buried deep within the island.

...There was once a young prince and his brother who were next in line for the royal throne. Before they could be king, they had to each pass a challenge. They were given a steel sword, a shield, and full body armor to complete the first challenge. The oldest brothers’ challenge was to steal a chest full of treasures, such as diamonds and gold, which was guarded by three young dragons. The prince left for the dragons den at once and began to ransack the entire place in search of the treasure. He first searched in the treasure room. He first searched in the treasure room because that was the most logical place to look, but all he found was a few scattered gold coins around the room. He then went to the living area of the dragons den and looked around a bit, and then he saw it, a large chest held together by gold. The prince went over to the chest and opened it up and looked inside. He saw thousands of sparkling diamonds and shining gold bars. Just as he closed the chest and prepared to lift it up, he heard something flying through the air, so he turned to see a large, black tail coming towards him at high speeds, He just had time to crouch down as the tail flew over his head and crashed into the wall behind him. When the prince pulled himself up, he stood facing three angry dragons. The largest one was black, which is the one that tried to kill him. The , flew away. and said to him “I am sorry for this brother” and he stabbed him again, but before the price died he asked his brother...

...where believed the treasure of Captain William Kidd was buried. The hunt for treasure on Oak Island has been going on for over two hundred years. In 1795, evidence of digging was first found by 3 young men. First they hit a platform of old Oak logs. At 93 feet they hit something hard-possibly a treasure chest. The next morning the shaft was found flooded with sixty feet of water. The miners dug 110 feet down. It was only 2 feet from the pit when tones of water burst through. In 1849 they recovered several links of gold chain. While the drilling was going on, someone noticed that the water in the pit was salty and rose and fell with the tide. So the men went in search of hidden inlet of the sea and they found tones of coconut fiber and eel grass on a stone floor which acts as a sponge to soak up and filter. The conduit fell 70 feet down filled...

...I have wondered before if I will have the chance to see the real beauty of life that I can’t find here in the busy city. But at last, after almost two hours of travel, I have seen what I am looking for; the clean river, the cold breeze, the leafy trees and the welcoming smiles of the Bago tribe, such an amazing treasures behind the mountains. Maybe it is the treasure in the end of every rainbow I see. For the pot of gold lie in the hearts of the tribe, their culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of the people. Despite of the developing municipality of Suyo, their culture remained; it is not damaged by the changes. They made sure that their culture will not die by letting the children learn in mind and heart their wonderful culture. The smiles in faces of the children showed that they really love what they are learning. It is soothing to the ears to hear their angelic voices; their ethnic dances made me forget the contemporary dances and how they beat their bamboo instruments made me feel the magic of nature. Even if I cannot understand what they are singing, I felt that they sing to show how proud they are to be part of the Bago tribe and to be thankful of all the blessings that God had given them. They gave thanks that day through a ritual, and a pig was butchered that I think is a sign of their respect and belief to the Lord. Every song they have sung reflected how they live their life in the past and now. I am amazed how they used bamboo cylinders as water containers...

...Golden Treasure I have visited the Metropolitan Museum many times and still seem to be amazed by the beauty that surrounds me. It is common to see paintings and sculptures, but not so ordinary to be able to view beautiful pieces of gold jewels. Gold jewelry is a symbol of power, royalty, high class and pure elegance and this room at the MET displaying different pieces is exactly that. I choose this piece because not only was I drawn to its beauty but it also reminded me of pieces my mother and her mother wore during their weddings. This piece is a pure depiction of elegance and grandiose status. The Nose Ornament was from the Yotoco period in Colombia during the 1st -7th centuries. Nose ornamentation is one of the earliest forms of beautifications used during Pre-Colombian times. They were made in a variety of materials, however during this period they put a strong emphasis on exquisite gold objects in which became a primary way they exemplified their social status and relationships as well as their beliefs. The gold jewelry ranged in various sizes, from small rings to larger headpieces. This piece was one of the larger Yotoco gold pieces because it was believed to have covered the lower portion of the face. A pure symbol of elegance and power through the gold and an item of awareness through the dangling rectangles. Not only was this a beautiful piece of jewelry but it had various meanings behind it. During the Yotoco period, gold marked a difference in class in the burial...

...One day Peter found a treasure map. He decided to find this treasure, and have some adventure! Peter set off. He walked a long way and finally reached a forest. There he met Lion. “You are strong and courageous,” said Peter to Lion. “Will you come with me on a treasure hunt?” Lion agreed and joined Peter. The forest was dense and dark. Peter was afraid but with Lion by his side, he made it through. When the two finally reached the mountain they met Eagle. “You have excellent vision and can alert us to dangers,” said Peter to Eagle. “Will you come with us? We’re looking for a treasure.” Eagle agreed and joined Peter and Lion. The mountains were tall and craggy. Lion slipped but Peter was swift enough to give him a hand and pull him up. Eagle with his sharp vision watched every step they took. Soon, they reached the valley below where they met Sheep. “Will you join us in our search for treasure?” Peter asked Sheep, “and keep us warm when it’s cold?” Sheep agreed and joined Peter, Lion and Eagle. A cold wind swept across the endless meadow. They all huddled against Sheep who kept them warm and cozy. The four finally reached the desert where they met Camel. " You are called the ship of the desert,” said Peter to Camel, “will you help us get across and join the treasure hunt too?” Camel agreed. All exclaimed in surprise. Peter, Lion and Sheep mounted the camel and happily set off across the vast desert with Eagle enjoying the spectacle from above. Camel began galloping and everybody...

...Oak Island's Money Pit Mystery Who will be the next treasure hunter to squander all of their money in search for a possible treasure on the bottom of a pit when hundreds of people tried without success for centuries to reach the bottom of the "Money Pit"? Is the next treasure hunter going to be able to stop the flow of the water that is preventing anybody from reaching the bottom of the pit? No one has been able to stop the water and solving the mystery for over two hundred years. Yet engineers, rich people, divers, builders and even a U.S President tried very hard to discover what is buried on the bottom of the pit. Is it possible that it could be Captain William Kidd's treasure? Could it be the crown jewels of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinetter? In my research paper I will first be explaining about the history of the mysterious "Oak Island "Money Pit". Next I will be explaining some of the techniques that were used to dig up and dry up the "Money pit". Finally I will present three theories of the content of the pit and how the seawater keeps seeping in the pit. From what i been reading although many interesting things have been found in the pit which are supporting the idea of something special being buried there, no finding up to this point has been conclusive. Everything started when a mere boy was hunting on a deserted island off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada in 1795. In "Mystery Island Baffles Treasure Hunters" by Edwin Teale, he explains how, "One day, early in the...
