It took a long time for the screenwriter to complete the script. The screenwriter Jim Cove only studied the "Declaration of Independence" and various treasure hunt legends that took place in the United States for 9 to 10 months, and the script was added to many historical events. Two other screenwriters, Cormac Webley and Marian Webley, added mystery and adventure to the script. When studying historical materials, they selected the most legendary and most popular treasure hunters in history, the "templar knights" treasure as the background. As the most powerful secret organization in the world in the 11th century, the Templars were stationed at the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem. It is said that the Templars have a large number of treasures. Later in the 14th century, their property suddenly disappeared from the world without any sign. To this day, treasure hunters all over the world still yearn for this treasure, especially in the United States.
