I am working on a number theory that began from the hint in the Japanese Edition: To start solving the pictures/paintings - You must decode the poem by solving the combinations of numbers that are in the poems.
My theory does not use the actual numbers mentioned in the poems, but instead the number of lines that each poem is broken up into. You can see in the table below that there are pairings of poems when this method is applied.
I then began with a mention in the book in The Passage To The New World section. This mention is:
On the first morning of the first spring day, appeared, shining in the air, slender, golden people...
A tall, laughing archer was among them--Prince Yi, the Wanderer, bearing the great bow with which he had shot dead nine blazing suns--
Using the idea that we are being prompted to look at the first painting and find a poem; I looked at the ninth poem. The ninth poem has 15 lines. There is a 1 and a 5 used here. Painting 1 uses the 1 from 15 so there is a 5 left over. The other poem with a 5 in the number of lines was the 12th poem. It helps as a verifier to have the Chicago casque found which is the other 15-line poem and the 5 is used for the painting number.
Again, the number of lines in the Poem point out the painting being used. The poems when counting the lines are paired with other poems. Numbers 1-9 except for 7 are used in the number of poem lines. This allows for finding 1-12 within the numbers used. 7 is found by dividing 14 into 2 and that was the only one that is an oddball, but may be one of the more difficult ones to be found.
Below is a video that I made showing my working theory on the 'numbers' associated with the poems and how they may work in pairs and line up with the paintings. The video also touches on my thoughts about what Byron may have been trying to teach with this publication.

| Poem | Verse | # of | Lines | Verse | Poem |
| 7 | 2 | 14 | 14 | 4 | 4 |

| 11 | 3 | 18 | 18 | 5 | 8 |
| 6 | 7 | 16 | 19 | 6 | 9 |
| 2 | 10 | 21 | 21 | 11 | 10 |
| 12 | 1 | 22 | 23 | 8 | 3 |

Let me know what you think.
I am currently working with an organization in Charleston for a site using the alternative poem that is found using this theory. There is an archeological survey that will be done on the area of question, but I was told to keep this quiet for now because security is not that great and they don't want people trying to dig before they can complete the survey.
