In 2010, Forrest Fenn, a retired art dealer and Vietnam War veteran, published a book called The Thrill of the Chase. The book contained a poem that Fenn claimed held clues to the location of a hidden treasure chest filled with gold and jewels. The chest was said to be hidden somewhere in the Rocky Mountains, and Fenn promised that the first person to find it would win the treasure.

The poem was full of riddles and puzzles, and it sparked a massive treasure hunt that lasted for over 10 years. Thousands of people from all over the world searched for the treasure, but no one could find it. Fenn eventually released additional clues, but the treasure still remained hidden.
