Vexed? Hexed? Perplexed? Mystery Cache

CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES, BUT THOSE COORDINATES ARE A GOOD PLACE TO PARK. THE CACHE IS WITHIN 500 FEET.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE: Cache is hidden near a power pole, but it is not ON the power pole or any piece of electronics close by, so please search elsewhere and stay safe. You will need to solve the puzzle below to reveal the coordinates of the cache itself.

Down through history, many things have mystified mankind. Our earliest ancestors made fire, created written language, the wheel and other wonders. In the 5th century BC, scientists pondered the cosmos, our place in it, even the shape of our own planet. Then came the crusades, the middle ages, a renaissance. A rebirth of thinking in dark but exiting times as mankind studied philosophy, magic, the sacred and the secular.

To solve this puzzle, you need to make the connection between the words below and our modern times. While these represent a terrible time from the past, they will also point you to the location of the cache once you see the signs and untangle the mystery.

The cache can be found at N 30 ? W 087 ?. BYOP and Happy hunting!

No hint until 3 people find it... ;) *GeoPunx* tested it for me, it's solvable.
