The Toronto coordinates are at the intersection of Bloor & Yonge. (near the city center, but not Google's city center).


If it's required, I live just down the street from there, so if it ever comes up that someone needs to be at that location, I'd be the one to ask Smile

[edit]

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't these 6 have woken up in a labyrinth too? I'm not familiar with any labyrinth in such city centers, even in the 1800s. The only thing I can think of (in Toronto) is that there's a bunch of underground passages near that intersection, but I really doubt those were built any earlier than the past 40 or 50 years.

 		heck, if something big's going down, I'd spend the $ to visit the location and make a trip out of it too Wink

I tried to research this, but couldn't find anything definitive at any of the locations.

I think that the postcard represents where the '6' ended up when the postcard was written, not where they were found. I am assuming that Monica's grandfather's friend was the person in "Madrid" for instance, even though we know that he was found in Scotland.

I've watched Monica's video again and, being a native speaker, I'd say the date she mentions is 1888, not 1868. I've corrected this on the wiki.

Yes, I think you're right, my mistake...

I like the idea that it has something to do with the Fountain of Neptune in Madrid.

Possibly the "595" is similar to the number that our TA's have come up with the attributes they saw in their visions?



Yes, there's a fountain for Neptune in Madrid, I had already thought of that when I saw the symbol. For the 595, it may be the first 3 numbers of some telephone, but without the rest, it's not really useful. Telephone numbers here, by the way, are 7 numbers long (not including a 91 they all got in the beginning). If you think it's useful, I can go to the fountain and take a look, but I don't really know what I'd be looking for Razz
I guess I'll be mailing Monica to ask for any other clue she may have about the hidden information from that man in the past.

 		So 595 - trident (or arrow as Diego put it) - 20. If the last numbers are 2 and 0, then we just have to find two more numbers to make the 7. Or 595 could be an adress - Tenchizard, you're doing a great job as our eyes and ears in Madrid, if you happen to pass by the Fuente, could you check if there are any obvious 295 or 20 numbers?

 		I suppose the trident could represent a string of numbers to go between 595 and 20 to create either Lat/Lon coordinates or something. Or possibly they're clues to something that's around the fountain.

I doubt it's a telephone number since it's a tattoo from the 19th century. I mean I'm not sure about the history of wired communications in Spain, but it doesn't seem likely.

 		Don't forget that the tattoo led this man to London, I would look there for more clues... also, he said that other pieces of the "Codex of the lost ring" were hidden somewhere, not necessarily in Madrid Confused .

 		A little while ago, I sent a friend of mine a link to Monica's YouTube vid to see if she could hook me up with a native speaker. (She's got a pretty extensive network of friends with interesting skills and knowledge.)

I have the full text of my friend's friend's email but I'm not going to share all of it until I have his permission to post it publicly. Also, I'm recruiting this guy hardcore. Smile

Here are some excerpts I thought we would find useful...

Both these examples are turf labyrinths in rural areas in the north of Britain. The first is at Dalby in Yorkshire, and the second is at Stuartfield in Scotland, both of these are known by the name "City of Troy" or "Walls of Troy"...

 		Monica's numbers
Monica is giving us a lot of info about dates and ages... we need to know how old she is (i sent her an email).
Take a look, she said that:

-Jorge was found when he was 18, at year 1888 (Jorge=man of the labyrinth)
-Her "Tio abuelo" (brother from her grandfather) met Jorge when he was 6.
-6 months later, he got the tatoo meaning and went to london.
-Jorge came back 15 years later. Monica's "tio abuelo" was 21 (now was when Jorge taked Jorge as his name).
-When Monica's "Tio abuelo" sleep forever when she was 10...

So... we don't have dates!!! only relations... we needs Monica's age!!!

There is something else. Monica said that the man lived in scotland for a season (1 year?). So:

-Jorge was born in 1870
-Monica's tio abuelo was born in 1883
-Jorge came back in 1904
...
we need monica's age... and there is her youtube profile

SO...

-Monica born in 1978
-Monica's tio abuelo died in 1988 (when she was ten)
-Monica's tio abuelo was 105 years when died!!!

... (going to sleep)

Here is a classic case of something being lost because it was buried in the hellaciously long trailhead thread.
