Author’s Name

Niamo Speck

This may be going down a dead end, but ...

some possibilities have been discussed in previous posts, including the Phillipines meaning of Niamo=our (I am not familiar with that) and Italian niamo (we are) and ni amo (i love you).  The italian does not look standard, but according to translate.google.com .

There may be some hints to reversal / reflection in the number code

niamO specK

OK, last letters (maybe a bit of confirmation here)

OK , oklahoma, can be considered a southern state so should be ok with the authors comment about southern states

reverse the authors name

kceps O’Main

West O’Main is a part of Tulsa, OK

Tulsa means “old town” ... does this contrast to “a piece of the new world”?

note: none of this applies yet to finding a document for a Beale code'

edit: anyone else find a variation on “ half rose niamo” as one of the authors of the source document?

in one of the comments on youtube Niamo mentions that the name they use is not related to the hunt if I understand their message

The comment I saw was specifically related to the Italian language connection.

There was a joke Niamo made in the comments about the Speck cipher (which is a real cipher).

The source I'm using has Niamo as an anagram of part of the first part of one of the author's name (found this out after finding the source).
