The Secret of the Old Pirate's Hoard

What are passwords and ciphers for young and not so researchers

In the beginning was the Word. And then came the Mystery. The desire to hide any information from everyone and reveal only a few. And man began to invent a system of signs, symbols, passwords, keys, and later codes and ciphers, allowing you to limit and sometimes hide this or that information. But on the one hand, whoever owns the information owns the world, and on the other hand, there is no encryption system invented by one person that another person cannot decrypt.

This tour is a quest. In a bottle taken by the surf, we will find a message from the Old Pirate. It won't be easy, of course. It needs to be deciphered first. This is where the search for the treasure begins. And while we search for the treasure and guess different puzzles, I will tell you how the alphabets of long-vanished civilizations were deciphered, what meanings can be hidden behind picturesque canvases and what encryption methods are used today.

We will walk around the city and, of course, talk about what symbols and signs can be found on architectural structures and how even a first walk around the city can become an exciting dialogue with its streets.
