I'm not participating in this hunt, but figured I should share my thoughts so others will continue to share about the main hunt! And then I can get these ideas out of my brain and go back to bashing my head on those keys!  I think these clues are leading to something to do with Las Vegas. We have the Eldorado Casino and Mystic Falls park, which are fairly close together along the 515. Paradise, NV is right there too, which could be "where life began", or there are a number of Eden-related places right there too. Also, there's a pool company called Crystal Waters.... Eh, I don't know. Good Luck!  |

The town of searchlight is also south of el dorado casino. Maybe that’s the “glowing lights” to the south? It’s kinda odd that el dorado casino is on water st, across from a couple water named businesses also, and next door to the emerald casino. Interesting lead for sure!

Honestly, I sort of thought that Eldorado Casino was too obvious, but since no one had posted about it... |

Honestly, I sort of thought that Eldorado Casino was too obvious, but since no one had posted about it... absolutely it’s probably too obvious. But even wrong paths can spark that idea that lead into the right path. El dorado is a good fit though...probably not the casino but there are trails, roads etc all carrying the name that could be worth scanning around the area on google maps |

Has anyone found a decent map for the route of Coranado's Expedition? Ideally a .GPX or .KML file as they will work with both Google Maps and Google Earth. It would be nice to see exactly what points of interest could be found on that route If we could get a fairly accurate route, it would be then be simple to locate all google maps points of interest along it. I found this, but it doesnt name towns and villages as they now appear in google maps. It gives a rough idea but something a little bit more accurate would be ideal.  |

I'm having so much fun with this one! There are so many places that fulfill *nearly* all parts of the riddle but I haven't come up with anything that clicks 100%. Right now I'm playing with an out of the box idea that there are two unrelated locations with specific commonalities and that the first point is a reference to find the second point. Before I was looking for multiple geo locations that fit the riddle in the same general area. I just keep stumbling across so many men hand in hand, so many glowing lights, so many ancient beasts. Which ones are ours???!!! |

Just thought I would add in my 2cents.
It sounds like the first part leads you to Las Vegas, like some of the others have said.
I'm assuming the answer to the riddle will form possibly a name of a gem when you find all the places/names.
" you must first locate where life began/ and men stand hand in hand"
I would assume some garden in vegas or possibly paradise, NV.
There is seigfried and roy's secret garden and dolphin habitat and right by that are three roads that connect that make the rat pack crew. (sammy frank dean)
That's the Mirage hotel
when you "southward gaze on glowing lights" "guarded by the beasts of ancient time".
South of the Mirage, you have The Luxor "guarded" by the Sphinx ( a beast of ancient egypt). You also have the Hakkasen nightclub "guarded" by a lion (a beast of ancient greece/rome)

My last post got me thinking....what if Lukas is referring to Paul revere in the latest clue? The secret Boston casque just being found is huge news in the treasure hunting community...which I’m sure Lukas is following. Then It got me wondering if there is other hints in this referring back to other treasure hunts? And one thing that I’ve found while researching Fandango is there is a mythical land of gold on the east coast named Norumbega. It appeared on old Spanish maps. There is a norumbega mt on my desert island, Maine. There’s also other spots that kind of laid claim to it also, one being in Massachusetts. I’ve been focused in the Southwest because of the lost city of gold clue. But what if it’s a lesser known city of gold? One that would be known by anyone searching for fandango’s treasure.

Just a little outside the box here ...but what about Hawaii. If i was hiding something in the u.s. it might be a good place as alot of people are gonna overlook it. When you google map united states its not gonna pop up unless you specifically go there. Also the city of gold "el Dorado " was originally named "moana" not too far from moana you magic island "mystic land " maybe also just below it you got diamond head beach and diamond head state monument. Also Hawaii is known for crystal clear waters. Idk still exploring the area but could be a possibility.

Just thinking about cancatenate the primaries and only keep the primes . Does anyone think this might be applied to the lat and long of a particular location? In other words we create a new string only using the prime numbers of a particular lat and long location? Anyway im not in this one just thought id share my thoughts in case it helps anybody. Happy hunting all
