Staten Island – Fort Tompkins

[pelimatti]

If the Isle of B, is the Bedlow’s Island (now Liberty Island), the dig spot should be either on Staten Island or Brooklyn. Great giant would be the Verrazano-Narrows bridge, and it’s giant towers.

“Find the arm that Extends over the slender path. “ Slender path is referring to the Narrows; the arm is a either Verrazano-Narrows bridge or the weaponry in Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island. The whirring sound comes most likely from Staten Island Ferries, which used to carry both passengers and cars to different islands. The curvy shapes on the water in the image are most probably made by the ferry. Also, the bird in the image looks like the gargoyle in the Ferry building on Ellis Island.

“Although the sign Nearby Speaks of Indies native.” There were plans to build a National American Indian Memorial on the site of the Fort Tompkins, Staten Island and even ground was broken in 1913 in a big ceremony. No memorial was erected, but there was a bronze plaque on the site about the project, which was vanished by the 1960s.

“The natives still speak Of him of Hard word in 3 Vols.” This relates to the memorial project and the preceding events. Rodman Wanamaker sponsored three expeditions to the American Indians, which were all documented. Photographer Joseph Dixon was very controversial character, as he staged lots of content and was undoubtedly spoken in hard words by the American natives.

“From the middle of one branch Of the v.” Fort Tompkins has the shape of a v, it’s also mentioned in the Wikipedia: “The fort was in the shape of a wide rectangle with a shallow "V" on the landward side.” Inner court yard of the fort has a triangle shaped lawn area, where currently is one tree and stone steps, which are in a form of two crosses.

Inner yard of the fort has arch shaped doorways and rectangular windows, which both are similar shapes to the top features of the image 12. Also, the Verrazano-Narrow bridge can be seen from the inner yard.

“Take twice as many east steps as the hour.” The clock is 11 in the Image 12, so total 22 steps. The steps are referring to stone steps in the court yard. Step counting should be started from one branch of v, referring to the crosses made by the stones. If you take 22 steps from the eastern cross to east, you will be short of steps, that’s why you need to start from the west cross.

Or more. Some of the stones are very big, therefore if you take the 22 stone steps, you actually need to take more steps than that.
“Look down And see simple roots In rhapsodic mans soil.” Rhapsodic man is the Byron himself, who was a native New Yorker. Simple roots are the shadow that Byron cast on the ground. So, the token is buried on the tip of the shadow of Byron’s. Time, date and the month of the shadow can be found from the Image 12.

Stone and the flower are referring to November. Clock is eleven. No clear date can be found, maybe the three drops in the image refer to day 3. Actually, the exact date is not so relevant here, because the shadow is anyway short.

Japanese hints say that a wordplay which starts at chicken, will end up to the person (if I understood it correctly) of hard words. So, does it make sense to anybody if the start is chicken and the end would be Dixon?

Japanese hints are also saying: “Rhapsodic man is a man of epics, from the word rhapsodic, think of a famous song then you will know that the rhapsodic man is the man that made that song.” So, to my interpretation, the one who wrote the book secret, is the rhapsodic man, therefore Byron.

I am aware that the shadow theory in the New York image, is missing the actual date of the shadow. I suspect the window dots should mimic the Ishihara color blind tests and with some kind of color film, the number should have been visible.

George tells about the rumor in the Secret Podcast, of JJP being said, that: “during shrinking of the paintings for the book and the color that were used in the printing, that whatever was in those panels, it didn’t really work. You couldn’t get the clue that was there anymore”. I guess that object of discussion was the date number, but of course it can be something else too (if the rumor is true at the first place).

The first part of my theory is basically the old “wiki-solve” and discussed by many, until the Verrazano-Narrows bridge. From there, many have considered the “Indies native” to be Alexander Hamilton, which would point to Brooklyn. Even though that area has been thoroughly searched, not much has been found after that, which would match the following lines of the verse.

I consider the bronze plaque, which tells about the National American Indian Memorial on Fort Tompkins, to be very clear indicator about the right place. The Indian Memorial was planned to be much bigger than the Statue of Liberty, so it would have been major thing for New York City landscape. The fact that the plaque was not there at the 80s is an issue still. But again, the isle of B, was either named as Bedloe’s Island back then.
