My rant The motif of religion seems to be keeping on popping up around every bend.
Jerusalem is an important city in three of the worlds major religions, these being christianity, islam and judaism.... The religious mandala from one of the scribes page has 12 seperate symbols showin 12 of the worlds most populous religions....
this is all starting to freak me out, i read somewhere before about the similariteis existing between the religions represented by the symbols on the mandala and know the book by Blake entiled "all religions are one".... maybe this exists as an important book in the quest? The links with the lunar cycle and Blakes birth and with the fact he began to see angels and the dead and then his association with the town of Islington.... I'm not from London, nor England or Europe or America, I exist in the Great Land Down Under, Australia and it all seems this is happening on the complete opposite side of the globe to me but i can not help be pulled in, aS i was since day one.
From Monopoly i remember a place called Angel Islington. The angels associated with Blake and the Name of the bloke pulling me in.... maybe thats something to check out?

Yeah, the 2 C thing felt kinda nice to me too. I only had a short time in work to look closely to where that point corresponds to on the map, but from what i could tell, it pointed to Judd Street. An extensive Google search on that didnt lead to anything much tho, the only thing that vaguley pricked my interest was a Photographic Book Shop, but I didnt have much time to investigate further. I'll take a closer look and see if I can come up with anything.
The British Library is situated at the corner of Judd Street (it's address is actually on Euston Road:-

Is this any help?
Based on this I would still think that kitkatgirl's earlier mentioning of the following sculptur outside The British Library wouldn't be a half bad starting point - especially consdiering the "I am your Starting Point" from the speculate page:

The statue of Newton is, however, made by Sir Eduardo Paolozzi, but clearly inspired by Blake's painting

could "where is I" be where is 1(book 1), as I is the roman numeral for one..... just a thought.
edit 1* i found something on map 2 above the space between "world in" at the very top of the image there in what looks like an I or a 1. u need to sharpen the image slightly to see it
some1 who nows what they're doing should have a look i was just messing about but it could be the I we're lookin for u never know!
edit 2* The finger is almost on top of St Giles as far as i can see......

Interesting finds all around. I'm sorry I haven't been more active, but work is really pushing things at me. I am keeping up in my slight free time, so I won't be lost. Thanks to everyone for helping.

I've been thinking could 1643 - 1727 be a range of adresses or something similar? it seems it to me. and they would all be on the same side of the street. (just lending a diffrent viewpoint)
edit: very unlikely as all i get when i google it is stuff about newton

I took a look at it. It seems to be the dot over the i in "in". It's a little white thing, right? He puts weird slash-like things over i's and j's and, uh... anything else that needs one of those. I forget. Heh.
Anyway, I think it's just the dot thingie.

mmmm i dunno it's right at the top of the map above the coordinate right on the very edge of the image hidden under a little gray slpodgy bit. u could very well be spot on though. i would post the shrpened image but i have no idea how to it. (i'm using gimp 2.2)

i'm really sorry i'm not describing it very well. look at the space between the words "world" and "in" in a straight live go right up to the very edge of the image there is a small gray dot. (very small) If u resolve this area (sharpen or whatever it's called) underneath there is a one(1) the more i look at it the more it definatly looks like a 1. after all of this it's probably nothing. just a coincidence. ( but then again ....... do i have to say it)

Oh, okay....but why would you want to sharpen it any more than that? I can see it perfectly! It's very distinct.

If I had something to sharpen images... But I don't. Anyway, it looks okay to me. I wonder if the big splotch hides anything useful. In your image, it looks like a B. B1 perhaps? Probably not. But try sharpening the big one more. Is it even possible to sharpen it more?

Me again! Glad to be back. Im gutted that my discovery of the letters and numbers hasnt got us any further. I really thought I was on to something, but try as I might, Im as stuck as chewing gum in yer hair. Still think tho there is some connection between the the map and the statue i found outside the British Library...wish i was in London and I'd go and have a look! The statue sits in front of a representation of the planets...it all just seems relevant to me. And I had a closer look at the map today and tried to pinpoint the 'to see' coordinate more closely, but it still led to Judd Street, which is only a matter of yards in front of where the statue is...maybe im reading too much into it, but is the statue not where where we should be looking?
Grateful for other peoples ideas in this.

It's probably nothing but i found this when I searched for '1643-1727 Isaac newton', it's an address!
http://maps.google.com/maps?oi=map&q=1632+1727+Isaac,+Newton,+MA
EDIT: Now that I look at it it looks like nothing impertant...

I posted this in the Scribes thread by accident. Guess I got lost in the 13Books conundrum
Anyhoo . . . Onto the post:
So what locations do we have as possible starting points?
The statue
London Bridge
The Libary
Any others?
I suggest we compile the list of possibilities, then look at them to see which seem the most likely.
As far as the address goes, Islington has made it clear that Book Zero will be found in London. So the addresses being found may be relevant for future discoveries, but I think we need to stick with London for Book Zero.
