Countless investors
have approached us over the years to provide risk capital
for ADVL to pursue various treasure projects and
salvage opportunities. Unfortunately, the vast majority of investors expect
that we will operate as most treasure salvers have for centuries - research,
locate, recover, and liquidate treasure for profit.
If this is your interest, you need not read
further.
We have NEVER sold relics or artifacts from
any of our recoveries. We have, on occasion, sold non-artifact items such
as loose gemstones and unmarked gold and silver conglomerates to continue
funding our operations.
It is our philosophy that history should be
preserved and shared with the world - not sold to the highest bidder.
With this in mind, you may ask how a potential
investor could possibly profit from an association with ADVL. In a word,
Exhibition.
Our goal is to create local exhibits for each
treasure we locate and recover. Doing a little due diligence, one can
quickly discern that exhibiting treasures provides innumerable ongoing
opportunities whereas a sale provides only single profit
opportunity.
The King Tut Traveling Exhibit and the Titanic
Traveling Exhibits generated tens of millions of dollars
in ticket sales in just a few short years. Perhaps the most interesting
thing about both exhibits is that there were very few (if any) actual
artifacts in the exhibits! If you were one of the tens of thousands of
visitors who paid ticket prices of $25-$200 each to walk through a maze of
plexiglass display cases with tiny white cards that were inscribed with
the word 'Replica' on them, then you know how truly unimpressive these
exhibits truly were when compared to an exhibit that would have not only
included real artifacts, but also a greater selection of them as
well. Notwithstanding, these exhibits were both incredibly successful.

Cortes Shipwreck
AND
The Treasure of the Americas
Exhibit
We are presently in the planning stages for
the paradigm-shifting exhibit that will be 'The Treasure of the Americas'.
Over $5 Billion in Treasure will be on display, in an interactive and
informative way. Initially planned as a static, destination exhibit, one
or more traveling exhibits are also planned in the future to further
expand our global reach and share this incredible history with the world.
Current cost estimates range at $500 Million with the exhibit being
located in South Florida. Profits will be generated from ticket sales,
concessions, souvenirs, and a high-end jewelry operation selling actual
gemstones recovered from the shipwreck. NONE of the artifacts will be
sold. Additional recovery will also occur on the Cortes Shipwreck,
resulting in additional artifacts and treasures being recovered. Loose
emeralds are certainly a potential incentive, but again, investors will
NOT receive artifacts as profits. We are not a corporation and
stockholders do not have a vote on this matter. Each investor relationship
is very specifically detailed within the confines of a specific project
with specific returns and outlined proceeds.
U-Boat
Still in the
research phase, our team has narrowed the search area to approximately 5
square miles. We are preparing for the magnetometer and
side-scan sonar location of this incredible shipwreck. While the shipwreck
is expected to have an incredible cache of gold bars, the unconscionable
manner in which the precious metals were acquired (extracted dental work,
theft from individuals, families, houses of worship, etc),
we feel that it is entirely inappropriate to
profit from the precious metals on the ship. Any bullion
recovered will be used to establish foundations and provide some remote sense
of restitution for the atrocities committed by the Nazis. We also expect
incredible works of art to be included on the wreck. Any legitimate
claims will be honored with artwork being eventually returned to
its rightful owners. However, as is customary in salvage, we will receive
a reasonable salvage fee based on the value of the item(s)
recovered. In exchange for the return of these pieces, we will retain exhibition
rights for the first several years after recovery and restoration of
these priceless pieces. The resulting traveling exhibits are likely to draw record
crowds, and with them, revenues for the team. Imagine having the opportunity to
view works of art previously thought lost forever. Once the exhibits
are completed, the artwork will be appropriately returned - without the
need for tying things up in court for decades.
American Aztecs
We are
presently in the planning stages of this project. However, the Aztec Temple has already been located by our team. We
will be working on a documentary film and potentially a feature film, of
which project investors will have some remuneration. Our research suggests
that some raw gold will be recovered along with incredible Aztec relics
and artifacts. Primary revenues will be the on-market sale of raw gold,
collectible gold nuggets with certificates of authenticity, and of course,
revenues from the resulting exhibits. No artifacts or one-of-a-kind pieces
will be disbursed to investors.
Venture
Capital Opportunities
Several members of our team have created a
'Venture Collateral' firm called Iconic
Ventures, LLC. Utilizing rough emeralds
from the Cortes Shipwreck, Iconic Ventures provides backing collateral to
equity cash investors in various venture capital projects. Focusing
primarily on start-ups, equity investor cash is secured with 150% in
shipwreck gems, which are placed in escrow. In the unlikely event of a
project default, the investor receives title to the stones on a pro rata
basis. The equity provided by the project is split equally between the
cash investor and Iconic Ventures. http://IconicV.com
Tax-Deductible Donations
The Palm Beach Theological Seminary College, is a
501-c-3 non-profit organization. As such, donations to the organization
are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. The college is a
massive free internet-based resource that provides individuals, groups, and major colleges and universities
around the world with extensive theological and religious information. We
have digitized and made available over 60,000 written works -
FREE. The college is a non-denominational non-sectarian, institution
committed to end religious discrimination and the separation of nations by
supporting tolerance of all races through the study of comparative
religions by rendering an awareness of the common bond that roots the
different religions together. Harvard and
Yale Divinity Schools both utilize our extensive website to research
religions around the world. Our site receives literally millions of
visitors each month all learning more about their own beliefs and the
beliefs of friends, neighbors, and even those thought to be their enemies.
The receives and encourages donations of listed artwork, real estate,
vehicles, vessels, and other items of value. Our plan is to eventually
create a brick and mortar regional university.
Current Need: Middle School
Playground
The Palm Beach Theological Seminary College is
currently assisting a non-profit parent-teacher-student organization in
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The group has already raised half of the
$250,000 it needs to complete a child and community-centered playground at
a middle school in Edmonton. The government agency that had previously
agreed to fund the matching grant for their project has, unfortunately,
run out of
funds. As such, they will not be able
to reconsider their request until next Winter - after this year's building season
is already over. Donations can be made directly through the organization for
a Canadian Tax Deduction or can be run through Palm Beach Theological Seminary College
(or a combination of each) to provide a US Tax
Deduction.
