The screenplay is a work of fiction. It takes several historical legends and blends them into a coherent storyline.
The idea of a large treasure which uses the Declaration of Independence as a clue to its discovery is similar to the story of the Beale ciphers, which supposedly were buried in Bedford County, Virginia circa 1820. However, to decode part of that cipher, one simply had to know the text of the Declaration; one did not need the original document itself.
The film also draws upon several real-life pieces of history, including the use by revolutionary American forces of invisible inks to store hidden information in letters and other documents; dictionary codes as a form of cipher; and other intelligence tradecraft of the era.
The secret location of the treasure may have been inspired by stories of the mysterious "Money Pit" at Oak Island. The site is subject to various rumors surrounding the Knights Templar, the American Revolution, and pre-Columbian voyages to America.

It's mostly BS. Yes, the Crusades were fought to get rid of the Muslims in the Holy Land. However, another reason for them was so poor knights could pillage and make money. Therefore, the whole idea of a bunch of noble knights collecting all the world's greatest treasures and saving them for future generations is completely ludicrous. They spent whatever they found. The whole notion of a conspiracy by the Founding Fathers to keep it hidden is really far-fetched as well. The other minor thing that annoys me is when Nicholas Cage mispronounces the word "gaol" as "goal." It's pronounced "jail" and someone who supposely has Masters degree in History would know that. However, all that being said, I do actually like the movie. It's not accurate but it's fun.

Its fiction derived from non fiction accounts. For instance, there were 'Free Masons', including Benjamin Franklin and Amadeus..
