Hi, I've been mailing Monica to try to get any more clues. I suggested her to contact Eli Hunt, and offered myself to be the translator if she is not good with english. She has agreed to send me a note so I cand send it to Eli Hunt.

About the omphalos thing: the new podcast has really set this going! I think the rest as some of you said, the "omphalos" of reference should be the place where the previous 6 were found. I'll check googlemaps too, and if I find something new, I'll tell.

I got the note from Monica, and sent a translation to Hunt, here is what I sent:

Someone mentioned London as a possibility which I just accepted. Of course, now I came to my senses and realized that we are only talking about 110 Km. That is not very much, So Cardiff is very much out.

Thanks [M] for finding that little, coastal Scottish place. I might still be where the man went, though. If we believe that the centre of the labyrinths serve as the Omphalos starting point.

At 110 km SSW from whether Stuartfield, Stuartville or Stewartville there is more or less nothing. From the Eli podcast we know, that the Omphalas should point to some important or major city. So I am personally very sceptic that the omphalos is in Stuartville.

Perhaps, we should think the way around. Let's assume we know the Target (e.g. London), than we can now determine the position of the omphalos. It should be 110 km NNE.

I just tried gmaps in a hurry and arrived nearby Corby when moving 110km NNE from the centre of london....

***EDIT***

Hit me hard, I moved NNW ---- In a hurry, have to leave now (At least you can't hit me now

I think we ignored one interesting fact from Elis podcast

I used google earth. There is some kind of ruler measuring distances (but no angles )

I've just found an excellent tool to measure distances:

just thinking loud:

there must be several omphalos stones, for example on the british island
one omphalos code will only show you the nearest next omphalos stone in a given direction. (not necessarily still in a big city)
so going from stuartfield to london would consist of 4 or 5 or more codes. from omphalos to omphalos.
eli hunt's introduction about the omphalos code was 'Imagine you're wandering the countryside of ancient Greece. You're lost, and the only clue you have to your location is a stone marker inscribed with the number 6-7-6 and a bow and arrow, the sign of the Olympian God Artemis. Would you be able to find your way home? '

without a clear point to start, your omphalos code is meaningless. like 'my treasure lies 200m in the south, but i don't tell you from where to start', it's just impossible.

so one given code like '595 trident 20' only works for one certain omph stone to one certain second one (despite possible coincidence)
(and thanks to katya2032 for correcting my bad astrology, the difference between 110km SSE and SSW is really significant)

without further informations (like codes) I must asume that Jorge from 1888 had to start from stuartfield. there must have been his start point. there must have been or still is an omphalos. maybe its the labyrinth itself.
his code could have led him to the city of Forfar (north of dundee) around 110km SSW

and believing the basic terms of the code won't change: the maximum distance from one stone to another would be 999 stad (185km)
