National Treasure Props
| Name: Masonic Medallion Author: Anthony "Indy" Magnoli Description: Shown in several scenes in National Treasure, this large medallion represents one of the links to the past between the Freemasons, Knights Templar and Founding Fathers of the United States. Copied carefully from the original prop, this coin is die-struck, not cast, to ensure the highest possible detail. Measuring a large 3.5" in diameter, the front of the medallion shows an unfinished pyramid with thirteen steps along with other Masonic symbols. |

| Name: Meerschaum Pipe & Box Author: RelicMaker Description: This historical artifact held the first clue in a series of clues in unravelling a legend of a treasure beyond all imagining. A treasure that had been fought over for centuries by tyrants, pharaohs, emperors, and warlords. Every time it changed hands it grew even larger. And then suddenly, it vanished and didn't reappear for more than a thousand years, when knights from the First Crusade discovered secret vaults beneath the Temple of Solomon. The knights who found the vaults believed that the treasure was too great for any one man - not even a king. They brought the treasure back to Europe and took the name "the Knights Templar". Over the next century they smuggled it out of Europe and they formed a new brotherhood called the Freemasons, in honour of the builders of the great temple. War followed, and by the time of the American Revolution, the treasure had been hidden again. By then the Masons included George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Paul Revere. They knew they had to make sure the treasure would never fall into the hands of the British. So they devised a series of clues and maps to its location. Over time the clues were lost or forgotten, until only one remained - and that clue was entrusted to a young Thomas Gates by Charles Carroll. The clue was an old piece of scrap paper, which had written on it, "The secret lies with Charlotte." Charlotte turned out to be the name of a great sail ship, and on that ship lied the next clue, which was this "Meerschaum Pipe" contained within this "Pipe Box". |

| Name: The Declaration of Independence Author: Anthony "Indy" Magnoli Description: The main prop in the film National Treasure, was the American icon, The Declaration of Independence. I have replicated this piece of history by using high resolution scans of both the original Declaration and the 1823 engraving made by William J. Stone. By using both scans, I was able to get the clarity of the later engraving while maintaining the faded, aged appearance of the hand-written original. The back is blank as well, but the same clues can be seen by shining ultraviolet light it. The large cross, filled with Masonic imagery was drawn by hand using a special invisible ink, combining several of the clues seen in the film. In the upper right corner is the Masonic compass and square, followed by the long Ottendorf cipher. |
