Can You Solve It? Sherlock Needed!!!

Here's one way to look it up..

Google maps - street view..

This is what I get..



No matter if you look right or left, you can't seem to get a good look at the letters so I'm going to guess these letters are "JHS".

Convert those to numbers and I come up with 10 - 8 - 19

What do you think?

Peace

PS: as a matter of fact I'm pretty sure it's JHS

JHS - Christogram iota-eta-sigma, or ΙΗΣ — derived from the first three letters of the Greek name of Jesus

Bravo, good bro/sis/comrade! I'm slapping myself on the forehead for such a spectacular oversight! There's a reason the triangle is favored in military strategy - three men have a 360 degree range of coverage.

Moving on...Yes, I believe that's JHS. 10-8-19. Well, I guess all that's left to do is wait for River to finish his/her end of this particular stage and open the door to the next one.

Awww, missed today's riddle. Nice work, guys!

I think it may be IHS. I went to a catholic high school and this was there. I don't think there was a letter J in that time frame. It would be 9/8/19 then.

Just thought this could be a possibility since we haven't progressed in a while.

IHS also stands for Isis, Horus, and Set, Egyptian deities. Don't know if that's a direction or not.

Yeah. Iota-eta-sigma. It just sometimes looks like a J when they depict it: en.wikipedia.org...:JHS-IHS-Monogram-Name-Jesus.svg

So yes, 9-8-19 or, counting backwards since River hasn't reappeared , 18-19-8. Might as well cover all bases. Maybe if we say River three times, River will appear...waiting....

After being willingly kidnapped for a relaxing three days, I'm rather relieved to discover that I didn't miss much. Well, back in the game!

Am I to assume that this game has been discontinued?

Maybe the next part of the game is to figure out what happened to River?

Hope River is okay....maybe the Golden Dawn got him.

According to his/her profile, s/he has been active on this forum today. I wonder if s/he is simply working on the next stage of the puzzle...?

Stalker... JK Or s/he is avoiding us because we're too demanding. S/he is probably sitting back and going "OMG I've created monsters....". It's his/her own fault in tapping into the secret puzzle junkie within us.

You have the combination code but what to do with it? As you turn to leave the church a mysterious figure emerges from the Church, hands over a small wooden box and says "I've been waiting for you for some years now" and disappears back into the church.

You notice a combination lock on the box, you input the numbers 10-8-19.... Click, the box opens. Inside is what looks like Dee's black mirror, the one in the British Museum must be fake just like the first Stele from Cairo.

you turn over the mirror and notice an engraving on the back.....

"Arcanum Arcanorum, oh secret of secrets reveal yourself with 7 numbers added together."

there are 7 sevens on the seal of Arcanum Arcanorum so I say 49.

49.... What could it be? You suddenly remember the 7 Crowley followers killed in America, could there be a link somehow. You travel back to the place where those seven people were killed.

Once more you descend the stairs and into the room, the bodies are still there but in a bad shape, you check the pockets of all the people and find a list. Reading the list you realise it contains ingredients of some sort, 49 ingredients to be exact.

Now it clicks into place, the seven followers of Crowley who were killed must have been members of the AA (insert joke here), it seems they are at war with the Golden Dawn.

Upon looking around you notice a pile of leather bags in the corner of the room, 7 bags for each person, you open the bags and find each contains 7 of the ingredients on the list, apart from 1 bag which contains 6 ingredients, did the Golden Dawn take one?. You match up the 48 ingredients against the list of 49 and find the one ingredient missing...

mmm where to go now?

Manipur, India

Aaaaaaaargh.....missed it!!

Glad to see somebody was paying attention.

Peace

You travel to India, find the last ingredient and decide to make your way home to collect your thoughts.

You're now home, you have one of two Steles, Dee's black mirror and 49 ingredients.... Just one thing missing the from your inventory and that's the other Stele. You've realised with these items you can make gold, the ultimate goal of Alchemy and hidden by Crowley in various ways.

As you enter your bedroom you see a note on your pillow....

"We've been watching you, we know what you have and we need to meet.

Nahk Aoihc will show the way."

"Nahk Aoihc"

Tried it, reversed and tried it again, I can only guess that it's someone related to the Mongolian bloodlines of China.

ETA: "nahk" is Estonian for "skin", if that means anything.

i have jumbled the letters. For the first part I get either Ankh or Hank. Can't get part 2 yet

ETA Chioa Khan- you are correct

reply to post by micmerci


Do you mind providing a link for that? I can't find that person anywhere online. Trust me, reversing it was the second thing I tried, as stated before - and nada.
