Geocache Description:



You do not need to visit the building at the coordinates above to find the cache.

This is the second cache in a series of Alphabet caches in Stockholm.

The King James Version
The Bible is a collection of religious texts written in several languages over long periods of time.
These texts have been translated to most modern languages. Different sources for the texts have been used - sometimes even very old fragments of papyrus. The translations themselves differ quite a lot, and some are more respected than others.

Between 1604 and 1611, 47 scholars (members of the Church of England) translated these texts to English, to create the King James Version.
Various printed versions of the King James Version initially tended to differ in more or less important details, until the standardized text in the 1769 Oxford edition.

The King James Version was meant to be the "authorized" Bible in the United Kingdom, and is still considered to be "divinely inspired" by some religious groups.

A very little known secret about The King James Version is that it contains a coded reference to a position in the Stockholm (Sweden) area.




You can find the coded North coordinate here:
Samuel (B+10):(B+32), then skip the first (B-3) words

And the coded East coordinate here:
Joshua (B+14):(B-5), then skip the first (B-3) words



If you think finding the value of B is too difficult, it is also written inside the logbook of Alphabet A - Apache.
You probably don't need the GeoChecker.
