Treatise of the Vessels update

THE TREATISE OF THE VESSELS continues to get media attention. The article by Owen Jarus, noted here, has been republished a good many times, including by Yahoo News, Fox News, Discovery, and NBC News.

• Text was meant for entertainment rather than a guide to treasure's location
• Treasures mentioned include musical instruments made of gold, ornaments from the Garden of Eden and various precious religious stones
