I bought a constellation celestial globe for myself at Christmas £2.99
in the offers bin it is
made in China and although accurate shows the
constellations as they are seen
at 27 degrees north,
I also bought a
number of second hand books from charity shops buying second hand I am used to finding bookmark
postcards,, shopping lists entry passes to Anglo DDR trade fairs , Manchester metro tickets and Parisian billets
inside and from a 1987 copy of
the Mabinogion marking a page from the
second branch Branwen ferch
Llyr with
underlined text " they
scoured the land wherever there had been battles; they
found gold and silver
and became wealthy "
I found this drawing of an
island with writing beside it
was this ball point
drawn a
treasure island map
The island drawn does
nor look like a typical Kidd- Palmer
Chart , the Oak island money pit
or Cocos
island and the clues
seem like scribble than a
warning to the curious
the clues resemble
big sum maths so are best left alone !
what treasures are
left to be found ?
in Pirate loot there is only left to be located
the sunken skeleton of Captain " Black Bart " Roberts intertwined with his Emerald
Cross
In lost treasures
of history only the Tomb of
Alexander , Atillas hoard
or the Roman loot of Alaric the
Goth remain to be found
Alexander's tomb seen as a glittering crystal cave in the 1963 epic cleopatra has
been discovered in so so many archaeological chase thrillers everywhere from underwater Alexandria to St Marks Basilica in Venice
( if in my opinion the most
historically realistic accurate
location of the Tomb of Alexander can be found in Richard Blake's
novel the Blood of Alexandria) and was not Attila's hoard discovered intact in Robert Lowe's first and best novel in the
Oath sworn series.
re Gothic Roman loot from the temple of
Jerusalem a recent theory
traced this to Sub arctic Russia and
seventeenth century travellers
tales of Samoyed
golden idols .
As for the map and its big sum cipher it may be more likely drawn from
Jonny Quest and the Tibetan Diamond Caper
and as for my
taking time in cracking the code it is useful to recall the
artist Kit Williams Masquerade picture book from the late 1970s
a best seller on the clues within leading readers to the buried treasure of the golden Hare which was eventually
"discovered" by someone who had never read the
book and was told
of the gold cache
by a publishing insider
all I can say is that
the is there an X marks the
spot on the map ?
