Owl Hunt Mystery deepens in ‘world’s longest treasure hunt’ as finder of ‘gold’ kept secret
THE artist behind one of the world's longest treasure hunts has launched a second tricky puzzle to try and unlock a £650,000 golden casket.sit two halves of a key which when combined will crack open the historic treasure box which marked the end of a near 1,000-year conflict.
Dubbed the “Golden Treasure of the Entente Cordiale” Becker decided to create a similar game to the golden owl where he compiled together nine mysterious riddles.were made - one in English and one in French - with all the clues inside which point towards where the two halves of the geode crystal keys are being hidden.
The reason for key being split into half is to once again bring together the English and the French just like in 1904 when the Entente Cordiale agreement was first signed.THE golden casket was given to France from the UK ahead of the 1904 entente cordiale as a sign of friendship between the two countries.
Although Becker has made it clear that one clever person could discover both and keep the casket to themselves.It is unclear how much progress has been made with the riddles since Becker launched the hunt in 2021.The first version of a treasure hunt book Becker helped create was the On the Trail of the Golden Owl in 1993 alongside author Max Valentin.
