What are we supposed to look for in this hunt? A place? I may be wrong, but I have looked at it as we have to follow some directions to a place or a landmark of some sort, and then name who created it. But that's just a guess.

Looks like what we are looking for is a statue of a man(a king maybe) in a place and the person who created that statue. Is there a rule that says this place is in US?

I have moved the responses to the Question in another thread, and then place this Q/A HERE: mysteriouswritings.proboards.com/thread/5591/

Hello all, Being stuck on this hunt, I think it's time to "bounce ideas" around and team up with anyone that is interested. Thanks, Chouetteur

Can anyone make out the numbers at the bottom of the photograph? I tried playing around with photoshop a little and I think the numbers in the lower left are ?0210370017 or maybe ?0110370617. The underlined numbers are two possible versions of that digit. Not sure what the first number/ letter is - maybe a 4?
In the lower right, it's even harder to see, but I think they are letters: POLZNCIDO2.
This is what I see, but I'm not sure it's helpful. If others see something different, please share!

Interesting. You’d think if the numbers were a clue they’d be easier to read. Maybe unimportant?

Totally agree, had the same thought with other images - if information was critical to a solve it wouldn't be so obscure and questionable. The letters on the right are POLAROID, the type of photo, so I'm not considering it as a substantial clue. (however, why a Polaroid of the Lion's head in the first place?)

Thanks for clarifying POLAROID! I thought it might be that when it started with POL, but I didn't see the whole word. For the numbers on the left, I agree that they are probably not relevant as they are too hard to identify.
Why a polaroid of the lion? I thought it might be showing that it is a place where you would take a picture of a lion - maybe a zoo or a museum (different from the Lion who reads)? If this is a walking tour of some location, it could be a destination, or a place you pass through or by, on your way to discovering "The Creator".

The thread "Single Page of Treasure Hunts" shows the original versions of the hunt images. In some cases, these original versions are less compressed and more readable than the versions that ended up in the consolidated PDF. In this particular case, it does look like you might be able to read the text under the Polaroid more clearly in the image for this hunt that can be found in that thread. I've also noticed this to be the case in a few other hunts as well.
Disclaimer: I don't know anything about this specific hunt or whether those numbers/letters mean anything or not.
