 		golden scarab
hello! I'm new on this forum too and I've been trying for ages the golden scarab part I tried to decrypt the text with the rumkin thing but it doesn't work. Can someone please PM me the answer or at least give me a valuable hint.
Also I don't have Google Earth and my PC is not good enough for me to download it.

Thanks,

Conker.

 		Been forever since I've posted on here, but I'm pretty stumped. Followed the art pages to the red chalk guy, and couldn't figure anything out. *doh* So went back to the gold insect page and tried something else. Got to a page with the Saw creepy clown guy.

I figure someone else has been here, so I needs some help.

Edit: Okay, looks yall have been here before. I'll take a look at it again tomorrow. There has to be a solution.

Also Edit:

You don't need Google Earth, just Google Maps. The "rumkin" site you mentioned will net you the translation you need, it's just not very user friendly.

 		could the message be "double coded" I mean maybe it could be coded in a cypher and then coded again in another?

For now there is only one cypher that works and it gives nothing bue letters with strange accents. Am I on the right track or am I totally missing something here?

Cheers,

Conker

 		Golden Scarab
I decoded the cipher, found the coordinates, mapped it, got the cemetery and now I am totally stuck on what word the key could possibly be and am wanting to throw my monitor out the window.

Am I maybe over thinking it?

 		It's ok, cause I do know what it says I know where it leads, I know the name of the cemetery, the name of the guy who is in the cemetery (and that has something to do with the golden scarab) and can't find the key.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I read somewhere that you can't use spaces and caps but that the accents might be important.

 		Da Vinci Paintings
Oh sweet crap.

I am lost in a mess of the Da Vinci paintings.

I found two different answers to the second one that take me to two different paintings. One of the chalk portrait and one of the lady with a ferret. One seemingly wrong answer that takes me to Ms. Lisa shaking her head no at me with no key box.

What a brain scramble.

Haha....I did some googling and one of the modern translations of Ferret in Arabic is Torment.

 		Alright I know I am retarded but I can't figure out what the point here is exactly. I am on the first page. Am I supposed to look for a clue or is there a riddle I don't see?
