Geocache Description:

Tarman Shud means 'finished' in Persian,

In Adelaide, Australia, a man was found washed up on the beach with a final page of a Persian poem which had those words written on it.

The poem is from the Rubaiyat. 


All we know about him is that he carried a packet of cigarettes, was well dressed, appeared fo be in top physical condition, had noidentification on him, and his dental records didn't match that of any other person living in Australia.

The autopsy made it clear that he most probably died from poisoning. This created a media frenzy, and every possible lead was pursued, after searching through army records, they found a man who supposedly had a drink with the mystery man, he said that the man had a military pension card, and his name was 'Solomonson'.

They found his suitcase too, but that didn't explain much. When they found the whole version of the Persian book, (the same one from which that page was torn from), it had the name of a woman on it, who was tracked down, but she made sure, she remained anonymouse, all we know, is that she died in 2007, and when she was shown the picture of the Taman shud, guy, she looked horrified, as if she recognized him, but refused to give out any information. The last piece of the puzzel, was that the Persian book had some code scribbled on its back, which still hasn't been solved. This one is a mind bender, he was probably a spy, who got killed off.

One last interesting tid-bit, he had a unique and extremely rare ear shape, and the book woman had a son, with the exact same ear shape, the probability of that is 1 in 20 million.

A love child?
