Run the test yourself since mine looks so choppy, I'm not good with the software. It's almost a DIRECT hit to you-know-what. Two points will make a line. Three points will make.....a jewel? It's the Freemasons I tell ya! If you want to go behind the sign then that corner of Russian hill park looks good. Reverse Gh visible. And nice view of Alcatraz and Angel Island AND the cove. tinyurl.com/qt5tb5d |

And nice view of Alcatraz and Angel Island AND the cove. tinyurl.com/qt5tb5dI'd not be surprised in the least with a Masonry connection. It's the same MO with literary references and whatnot. Jokes aside, yes, I've been trying to find photos from 1980 of a place where he could have stood - but to have a building blocking the view of Ghirardelli, so that only the backwards "GH" were visible. I'm not sure about Russian Hill Park but it checks a lot of the boxes, as does that stone wall's door - even if Ina is not involved. HOWEVER - There's no way Priess lined up the dock, the speaker, and the random ass stone wall .....right....? I've always been sold that Twain's object was President Grant, because that quote from the letter (just like the first two Boston lines) was so specific - and Grant Street passes straight through Dragon's Gate in Chinatown. |

Well look at the image 1. Windy twisty dragon with it's nose pushing up earth like a hill. In fact "h I ll" spells out right next to it. You can see everything from there, even three posts, Ace could be that clock tower. tinyurl.com/r66voea |

Do we have any indication he would have used a method like this to direct us to a spot? At first I was doubtful that we could find anything here, or that the stone wall landmark is right - but the lack of clear specific instructions does mean we need to draw up a plan somehow....? |

One thing I'm certain of that was learned through the 3 found casques is how the jewel is depicted in the image is very important. So for the pearl you need to figure out that shadow (the only shadow theory I'll buy into...haha)and I still think the speaker tower would give you a pretty good match. If you find something else I'm all ears. Something to ponder...

I argue that Boston was such location. JJP politely rejected the Columbus statue as being the woman. I didn't buy the whole bunching the piers as steps idea. So basically find a spot and look around and see if you can find all the clues in the verse. Image 4 and 5 were different, they had beginning and destination. I've suggested that the first line of the verse may be the destination since at stonewall's door you can smell the sweet success. So poke next to the entrance there!

That overshot link for the tower I posted earlier, find that little barrel shaped fountain in a circle with blue center near the rectangular grass field. Look at it's shadow! OK, Here are a couple of angles: tinyurl.com/wjz4zrwtinyurl.com/ujcl2dl |

OK, Here are a couple of angles: tinyurl.com/wjz4zrwtinyurl.com/ujcl2dlI've actually looked at this feature a few times in the past due to it resembling the pearl in Image 1. Couple other hints perhaps are "West Ghost" as this is the only West Coast casque and the crystal ball in the middle looks an awful lot like a pearl. It also looks like there are letters on the crystal ball...maybe "D" and "C"? The guy to the far left also has something on the side of his head, maybe a "G"? The question with a round object though is where along its perimeter do you dig?
Look at the other "West Ghost" image on page 64. The photographers left arm...again with that speaker tower shape! We still need to keep the speaker tower casting a shadow over the casque burial site as a viable option. I'll have to look at the base of the west speaker tower and see if the dig area would be quite small like the east speaker tower is.

If you find something else I'm all ears. Something to ponder... Can you elaborate more on how the other three jewels were presented and the relevance to their locations? No problem!
Lets look at them in the order they were found: Chicago - notice the emerald is below the earing on a somewhat green background? I think this indicated that the casque was buried in a grassy area, south of the Loop in Chicago. Cleveland - notice the aquamarine is completely encased in a grey square? This matches the planter box it was found in at the Greek Cultural Gardens. Boston- notice the peridot is being held on an angle on a black background. This matches a baseball diamond at the site of the Great Molasses Flood.
Honestly the images may even contain the name of the place the casque is buried. Lets examine this theory: Chicago - the troll looks an awful lot like President Grant, so Grant Park. Cleveland - the stone pillars are clearly Greek, so Greek Cultural Gardens. Boston - the pigs head (Pua) combined with the polo stick for Puopolo Park.
For San Francisco, the Litany of the Jewels describes the pearl as chaste. Who is the most chaste person...the virgin Mary. Next you have a watch or clock on the table...so that gives you time. If you make the argument that it is Mary in Image 1 and you combine the two, you get Mary-time...so Maritime Park!

aquatic pier lamppost? Could very well be! One weird thing I've found is a Google Streetview that someone posted in front of the Maritime Museum and if you zoom in you can see the numbers 122 on the post. Most people take the 122 and 123 on the dress to be co-ordinates for San Francisco, but found it interesting that this lamppost had 122 on it. The person who took it was standing slightly east of the lamppost and you can only see the "Ghir" of the Ghirardelli sign from there....so it's possible that if you are standing right at this lamppost all you may see would be "Gh" as the rest is hidden behind the Museum. |
