Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates.
The cache was relocated, with a corresponding change to the puzzle, on 17 Apr 05.

There was great festivity and rejoicing in the dusty, dreary study rooms of the Vatican Archives when this previously undiscovered document came to light.

Initial evaluations suggested that it was a Renaissance Italian manuscript, circa 1499, containing coded astronomical observations.

Unfortunately, more careful analysis of the ink, paper, and code has since revealed that the document is an obvious fake. It could only have been written long after 1499. Curiously, it seems to contain detailed instructions for finding a hidden container somewhere in Northern Florida.
