Well, being Evil and all and having Jonathan as a friend, you should probably try to send it back to him.

Maybe he'll remember some weird text he has seen on an archeology dig.


Then again....he might just be as confused as we are


We have seen messages like this before, them seem to say a lot but it not really the case.


And I'm glad Hye and RedHatty didn't post the translation, they are usually faster than I am

in VERY faint lettering beneath the doors map is also written

Nice find Red! I didn't see that - so once again, what exactly IS it a map of?

[RedHatty]

Not sure taht it is a map - just a puzzle & a rather simple one at that.

Here is one of may solves for it

[AngBa]

I guess I didn't mean "map" - more like a diagram or schematic of a tomb or temple, perhaps? I'll start looking.

I did receive a message from Jonathan:

I asked EVA for help on test 2

Machu Picchu very near Cuzco (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machu_Pichu#Location)
and Coriancha is actually in it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coricancha)

Isn't Coriancha the likely single answer to both parts? Um, is it on a mountain perch?

The person who started this thread is Jonathon...on his new blog the "map" was placed by a Photobucket account, with the account being called "cl1432", which was the threadstarters name. But the file was called "doors2", so the image is a door of some sort. The URL is http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p98/cl1432/doors2.jpg

Well it seems that we have an impossible to solve puzzle, at least without some very creative topology used in our imaginations.

See http://www.mazes.com/puzzles/5-rooms/index.htm for the reasons it is impossible

and

for methods to cheat the puzzle

I knew there was something wrong with those 5 door rooms. So we are left with two options: 1) that Jonathan is THE DECEIVER and all information and riddles gives by him should be treated with suspiscion. 2) that the puzzle is less about the maze and more about something else on the page.

The second option is borne out by Jonathan's new blog-post:

Johnny Boy has a new friend...

I've emailed her asking what she can tell us about him.

ETA: Well, they've 'found each other - I've asked her about the Hopi dig site, OvdaSupay and asked for her help... just got that a 'roma needs her sleep..."
I'm too tired to type, so here's Jonathan's repsonse to my last email, asking why Jesa would have retired:

[Lucy]

I also wrote to Jesa. Her reply regarding the symbols' meanings was essentially the same as my post above. Regarding Jonathan & the dig, she stated that...
