Anna Thropologist had spent a considerable amount of time over her summer break researching the Solomon Curse for her masters dissertation in ancient trade routes. Every day she would sit in the library with her laptop and follow leads and clues. One evening, after drinking one too many Grey Ghost's she recalled from her notes the story of Archibald Dunleavey and his involvement in the search for the Romonov ransom.
Archibald was obsessed with ancient civilizations and while in Poland had come across a scroll relic written by a Benedictine monk named Hector and dated to 1581. The scroll concerned an ancient artifact known as the Eye of Heaven, a large priceless emerald gem affixed to a golden statue. He was convinced learning more about this civilization that worshiped it would lead him not only to find this lost empire but to locate the statue of the tortoise god Tortuga.
Archibald's partner, Henry Jones was convinced this was a red herring and focused his search instead on the kingdom, an ancient civilization founded by people who honored the giant sloth god Perezoso. Henry was in possession of a map that he thought would lead him to the tombs, fabled catacombs where the rival civilization resided. He was also searching for a huge emerald gem originally affixed to a giant golden statue and stolen centuries ago.
Anna discovered in her research the statue had been found in 1716 by an adventurer named Kansas Raines. Kansas was bringing it home to his native New Orleans on a ship called the Conquistador when he was attacked by a pirate and the statue was loaded aboard. Kansas was able to read the name on the side of the ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge, before he passed out from blood loss. He was left for dead but luckily rescued within a day.
Further research surrounding the Mayan secrets rumors surfaced about the golden statue with the huge emerald. The ship had foundered off the coast of Mozambique with a cache of Spartan gold aboard. The famous Blackbeard's ship was later found in 1996 off the coast of North Carolina. The fabled statue and emerald gem the size of a man's fist was noted to be worth over $10,000,000 in today's market. It was not found among the ruins. To this day, people continue to search for this famous idol.
Solve for:
N47 AB.CDE
W122 FG.HIJ
There will be a little math involved for three of the coords:
C = x + 1
H = x - 2
J = x - 9
Check sum for N = 36 and check sum for W = 15. Good luck on your adventure!
