The Somerton Man was found with no ID and a mysterious slip of paper that linked him to a book of secret codes. Who was he, what was he hiding, and will the mystery ever be solved?

Just after dawn on December 1, 1948, a sunny summer morning, police were called to investigate reports of a man found on Somerton Beach in Southern Australia. The figure – who was fashionably dressed and clean shaven - was found in a relaxed position with his head resting against the seawall and his extended legs crossed, as if taking a nap.

Found with no identification, authorities have never been able to identify the man. The question of his real name, the mysterious circumstances of his discovery on the beach, and a link to a still unsolved secret code found in a hidden pocket have led the case to become one of Australia’s most profound mysteries. Just who was the Somerton Man and what was the meaning of the words “Tamam Shud” found on the scrap of paper he was hiding?
