I don't see any hits for Macchidad, but several for
Ediciones Hector A. Macchi
Looks like Ediciones is "Editor"
and he might have written/edited books in the 90's and 00's

We found a possible address
EDICIONES HECTOR A. MACCHI | AV. CORDOBA 2084 || CAPITAL FEDERAL || 1120 (postal code)
2084 Cordoba Av
Buenos Aires (postal code 1120)
Hector may be a small publisher with an office at that address.
(I have a phone number, if you need it)

I found Av. Cordoba 2080 on google maps
http://tinyurl.com/3d7wfp
(labeled D - Casa de Catamarca)
so that should be the same block as Señor Hector at Av. Cordoba 2084.

My gf lives a few blocks from there, so if Victor can't go, I can ask her to do it for me.

Hey Guys! How is it going?
I've already called VictorSueiro and told him about the artifact. Fortunatelly, he is having a free day at work so he is on his way to the artifact location.
Let's see what he finds! ^^
-------------------------
He has it!
I've just got a call from VictorSueiro. He says he has the artifact and provided me the code. It didn't work on the omphaputer but the url is as follows:

OK... rough translation:
Chapter 10
Parallel Geography
We always begin the labyrinth contest at the centre, so that the multiple worlds are able to align the runners themselves simultaneously at the precise same place on the surface of the world globe.
The precise world globe coordinates for the centres of the labyrinths are found and communicated beforehand by the agonothetai across multiple worlds.
These coordinates will perhaps coincide at different villages and cities in different worlds. This is on account of the fact that the same villages and cities are arranged differently in the several worlds, depending on their continental structure.
Therefore the coordinates of each labyrinth must be adjusted in order to wind up (?) the continental formations in each world. Your Paris maybe in the same place as Moscow in an other world, for example.
In some cases, the way the maps overlap are such that a simultaneous labyrinth is not possible. The city labyrinth of one a world will maybe be situated in the middle of your ocean, or in a dangerous chain of mountain terrain.
Therefore, in order to coordinate with the maximum number of possible worlds, a single world will often happen to take place a simultaneous labyrinth in six different places, each mapping to a practicable place in an at least one ring of the other worlds.
The Sophia is responsible for serving as parallel geographers. They calculate the places that are needed for the simultaneous labyrinth, based on their understanding of the geography of the six different types of worlds.
So this could be why there are six co-ordinates on Jorge's postcard. Those were the six locations chosen as possible locations for the labyrinth, one of which would, hopefully, align with another possible location on another world. I wonder which one was eventually chosen and used.

I assume the map on the right is an example of what happened to Europe/Asia/Africa/Australia in another world?
[EDIT]Actually, in another time...
From Wikepedia:
Quote:
Pangaea, Pangæa or Pangea , from παν, pan, meaning entire, and Γαῖα, Gaea , meaning Earth in Ancient Greek) was the supercontinent that existed during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras about 250 million years ago, before each of the component continents were separated into their current configuration.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangaea shows a map identical to the one in the artifact.
