Just listen to me!  I've been doing some reading.  In the Sixteenth century this region was invaded by the Turks.  It became part of the Ottoman empire.  When the Turks rolled in they raped they pillaged the usual stuff.  Anybody who had anything wanted to hide it from these bastards.  They buried their treasures drew maps and hid the maps in puzzle boxes.  I read about this man.  I read about it.
