good spot RJohn,

i do hope it's joyce, i did my first dissertation on him and a finnegan's wake based ARG would be impressive!

woolf has the triple link of being part of the previous solve, and 'the hours' connection with our clock pic, but also because she worked on some of her novels at the british museum, in the Reading Room.

as an aside, King George III (team 1's dates) donated a huge number of books to the museum, which would also have been available in the Reading Room.

don't think Tutankamun ever visited there Smile

but there was a famous Tut exhibition some years ago.

Team one:

1820: Anne Bronte was born, died 1849. Also, if you search the British Museum, you get a Babylonian Brick.

1738: not sure yet.

Team 1:
George III was married to a Charlotte with whom he had 15, count em, 15 kids, who then, in what can only be described as a monumental failure of protocol, had gobs of grandkids, none of whom were legitimate heirs to the throne. Actually, one...Princess Charlotte...

Probably entirely unrelated, but still cool...

Yeah, Team One can't really do much without images. We have George III, Anne Bronte's birth and... not much else.

If it is King George, that might make sense. George also has a display in the museum of his library. It is in what is now the Enlightenment room, or room one, which houses the Demeter statue.

That's convenient with the birth and death dates, though the five of coins implies material hardship and ill health. We all know George was crazy as sin.

EDIT and SON OF EDIT:

I just got a card for team two:

Hi Team One. Re the Coins tarot card: George III is the face on the 1775 and 1795 Guinea gold coins.
FWIW less than an hour to go and am truly stumped on the meaning behind Team Three's tarot cards.

Thinking maybe there is significance to the other libraries as well: King's Library (King George) and the Royal Library of Alexandria since it goes out of its way to mention it.

Team 1: so typing chariot and our dates into the search gives one result:
