Ben (Nicolas Cage), Abigail (Diane Kruger), Ben's parents (Helen Mirren and Jon Voight), Riley (Justin Bartha) and Mitch Wilkinson (Ed Harris) enter Cibola, the City of Gold (located near Mount Rushmore). On the way out, surrounded by flooding water, Mitch keeps the door open so that Ben can get out and dies; he asks Ben that he receive credit for finding the city (he wanted his name to be a part of history).

Chosen answer: Thomas Gates didn't write it in normal ink. He wrote in pencil. The cipher wasn't written on that page, it was written on the facing page and minute bits "transferred" onto the page with the names.
