BellaOnline Forums Travel and Culture Polish Culture "National Treasure" movie

Hi everyone

I have seen the movie lately, and I need some explanation. There are some things, only clear for Americans, not foreigners, eg. Liberty Bell. What the hell is Liberty Bell and why is so important?

I would be very happy if someone could give me address of site where such things are explained. Something about american national symbols maybe?

Thanks in adnvance

Do you Google?

All his life, Benjamin Franklin Gates (Nicolas Cage) has been searching for a treasure no one believed existed: amassed through the ages, moved across continents, to become the greatest treasure the world has ever known. Hidden by our Founding Fathers, they left clues to the treasure's location right before our eyes... from our nation's birthplace, to the nation's capitol, to clues buried within the symbols on the dollar bill. In a race against time, Gates must elude the FBI, stay one step ahead of his ruthless adversary (Sean Bean), decipher the remaining clues and unlock the 2000 year-old mystery behind our greatest national treasure.

I google. I found this page earlier, I know about Liberty Bell, I just gave it as an example of "mystery" american symbol, that has no real meaning for nonamericans.

My question was about site about AMERICAN NATIONAL SYMBOLS, not only Liberty Bell.
