The best part was that he supposedly went through all the trouble of getting the city's permission then just didn't do it. He did all the boring paperwork then decided to skip the part where he digs up treasure.

He found the treasure and it was infinity dollars and he's too busy living the high life to post about it :shrug:

He may have shattered his arms and legs trying to dig, resulting in multiple open fractures, then bled out in the park. His corpse has just been covered in the famous boston permafrost for a year

This may come as a shock but some of us actually find this thread interesting with or without Xie, and it would be cool if it didn't get locked again because of bitchy shitposters :shrek:ing it up.

This has never been posted here. This is the Christopher Columbus statue in Boston's waterfront park.



Statue was erected in 1979, apparently.

I like this match. The cheek lines, the eyes, nose, lips, eyebrows, weird bulges under the eyebrows

Anyone ever notice the "montreal" image has a whale in the collar? White part, left part of the neck.? Looks like it might even have a blowhole, too

Whale? Could be the labia majora. Stop putting "Montreal" in quotes. Have some class.

Image 7 Verse 10?!?! - New Orleans

This could very well be revolutionary, since Verse 10 is largely though to match with Image 12/ New York City

Take twice as many east steps as the hour
Or more
From the middle of one branch
Of the v




Verse 10

In the shadow
Of the grey giant
Find the arm that
Extends over the slender path
In summer
You'll often hear a whirring sound
Cars abound
Although the sign
Nearby
Speaks of Indies native
The natives still speak
Of him of Hard word in 3 Vols.
Take twice as many east steps as the hour
Or more
From the middle of one branch
Of the v

Look down
And see simple roots
In rhapsodic man's soil
Or gaze north
Toward the isle of B.

See, it's an hour hand, going through a specific hour on the clock, through the V and extended into the embedded jewel in the image.

I'm mainly interested in Montreal. Any Montreal goons out there willing to explore some ideas about Image 9? Let me know.

There's a kinda famous bar on Bourbon st. called Tropical Isle. But it wasn't opened until 84.

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.
What has the guy who drew the pictures have to say about the clues? He had to know what they were in order to include them in the drawings.

Way early on it was discussed the artist was sworn to secrecy and has since refused to elaborate on anything.

I've followed this thread since the beginning and despite the impossible odds and jerking around am still holding out something will be found. :unsmith:

For real just contact the artist dude. If nothing else it rules out a potential source of answers and the whole "we can't just go around digging on public land and this mystery will absolutely die with you if you don't share" argument holds water if he pulls some "I will honor his memory" poo poo.

People have contacted him and that's his answer. And other than the Cleveland one, he might have more info without really knowing how to solve any of them.

Wait puzzle man isn't even the artist? I guess I've really been following this casually but the author made some really vague puzzles and couldn't even paint? Seriously Kit Williams must go nuts that people still give a poo poo about this book. Or not, because it means everybody leaves him alone.
