NicknPapa: I hate to archive a big cache, there aren't enough of them but it would cost too much and take too much time to replace this one and do it right.

Several years ago some colleges of mine were exploring an ancient ruin. During their exploration they found evidence that the ruin may predate mankind. They could not find much evidence to indicate who built the ruin or where they went. My colleges suspect that the beings looked nothing like us and may have possessed many more “fingers” on their appendages, perhaps as many as sixty four. They were able to find only one document written on some sort of strange metal and three pictures. To date they have not been able to decipher the last line of the document or reach an understanding of just what the images represent. My colleges suspect that they lead to a hidden stash of the builder’s equipment or perhaps even treasure. They have asked if you would be willing to help decode the secret of the ruins. The Document looks like this after what translation my colleges could do.

Message to Home Base:
Our research team has discovered that this planet has a new life form that may develop intelligence if it survives to reach maturity. Although the species is overly aggressive and unlikely to mature without self destructing we have decided that we must give them the opportunity to develop without our influence. We do not have enough room on our ship to carry all of our equipment back with us so we are hiding what is left in hopes that the developing creatures will not be affected by our presence until we can return for it. If we should fail to return safely to our home we have left the coordinates hidden in this message and the three images that are attached.
