So Joana

[Goetia]

on April 21st 2019 a post emerged on reddit's Bureau of Investigation subreddit a place specifically created for solving real world Mysteries the post read what is this puzzle spread across 50 pages in an old 750 page Trel book from the 1950s the post included a link to a bunch of pictures on imager these photos showed pages and Pages filled with seemingly random ciphers maps symbols coordinates and code words with no explanation for their purpose or meaning this discovery would kick off an internet scavenger hunt as investigators gathered to try and crack the ciphers and codes within this book what nobody knew at the time was that this would be just a start of one of the most complicated and mysterious internet rabbit holes ever to be uncovered The Mystery of the so-called so Joan a [Music] book [Music] but what is a soana The So Joana Book book well it's a mystery and a puzzle centered around an old travel book that was discovered at a local bookstore the book itself is called around the world in 2000 pictures by Ronan amton it's a travel guide following the same itineraries a traveler would take and see in the world in a series of different trips the book holds 2,000 black and white pictures from locations from all over the world with small descriptions bits of history and Maps but this copy of the book seems to be more thaner that it's previous owner has filled it with cryptic annotations these range from sketches of landmarks to what appears to be cryptic blocks of text coordinates leading us to bizarre locations Snippets of writing in both English and Cherokee code words that connect to other code wordss that connect to more places strange symbols maps and diagrams and bizarre puzzles are are solved by connecting the dots as well as with Clues found in Real World locations the original post reads I bought this old book at Art Funk and drunk in Fort Mill South Carolina earlier this week I'm mostly looking into some insight into the nature of the symbols what the locations of the coordinates might mean Heck if you can figure out what the solution is that's even better the more I look at it the less I understand I've gone through the whole book page by page and I think I found every page that has been marked up if there's someone out there that is really into this kind of stuff I would be more than willing to even mail you the book and let you handle this since this is really outside of my wheelhouse these annotations that can be found all over the book seem to be focused around the states of North and South Carolina Georgia and Tennessee more specifically it's especially centered around the Appalachian and Great Smoky Mountains region this large area of the Eastern United States is Infamous for its Mysteries and strange folklore and as you will get to see whoever is behind this is clever real smart which makes this whole thing so much harder to crack the previous owner or we'll call him the annotator seems to be well versed in different languages cryptography geography history obscure esoteric knowledge about secret societies and rituals and has an absurd amount of dedication Rich knowledge of the region of Cherokee culture and weirdly well read on Freemasonry the problem with this mystery however is that it is so large and complex that any newcomer can get completely lost spend hours and days running around in circles and not getting anywhere or get completely scared off by just the amount of information and knowledge needed to even begin putting the pieces together it can be extremely overwhelming just to put it in scale there exists a Google Earth project with records of all the locations mentioned discovered and triangulated and that project currently holds a 187 different locations we'll start with the simple things first I'm going to go through all the pages in the book that have stuff added to them that is of significance note that I will be skipping some pages that are either Irrelevant for the video's sake or are too obscured to mean anything right now okay let's start with page zero the first page you see when opening the front cover it contains many drawings coordinates and seemingly random things but trust me nothing about this book is ever random or irrelevant the first thing on the first page is a signature that reads JB vendor bandman 1838 around the world in 2000 pictures was released in the 1950s so obviously whoever wrote this signature and date is not the original owner and this date as you will get to see has a hidden meaning behind it under it there's a couple of plus symbols and a triangle and lines that intersect with each other sketches like this are usually hidden maps of some sort meant to be placed on top of Real World locations to the right we find five different sets of coordinates the first one takes us to Fort Gordon Georgia specifically to a stairwell leading down to a man-made pond at soil erosion Lake second one has a small angk symbol next to it this Egyptian hieroglyph symbol represents the word life it takes us to Hunting Island Lighthouse at Selena Island in South Carolina the third takes us to the quilt of origin sculpture in Atlanta Georgia the fourth is a bridge in Duran North Carolina and the last one takes us to Murphy's pyramid in Murphy North Carolina this pyramid structure also known as the AR ARS Hunter pyramid is an extremely important and reoccurring location within the book it's a memorial to ARS Hunter the first settler in the area right under we find this drawing a square with an X with three arrows pointing in different directions with the word soana written down from what you could probably guess this is where the name so Jana book came from but what you probably couldn't guess is that the words so jaana are actually a mistake it's a misnomer made by op who was the first to call it this what was found much later was that this was actually meant to say 50 Janna if the square with the X on it was presumed to be Murphy's pyramid drawn from A topown View a line drawn from Murphy's pyramid at 50° clockwise to True North takes us to a location known as Joanna bold fire lookout Tower this is given us directions the other arrows are found to be at 76° and 193 with the first one taking us to the Duram NC railroad bridge from before and the latter taking us to NTA Church remember this location for later under this we find two lines of coded language this is one of the four codes found within a book this particular line though has yet to be decoded under that we find a compass symbol and an i a hand and 369 written under from the very GetGo page zero gives us a good idea on what kind of book this is and for what to expect the annotator was using this travel book as some sort of diary writing down locations directions from places coded language for either himself or for potentially someone else to find when a book was initially uploaded online many theor sparked up about the real purpose of it from alternate reality gay the CIA code book others even suggesting it might be a diary of some serial killer playing a sick game and even rumors about a treasure hunt but the purpose or reason behind it is really the biggest mystery here cracking the codes finding locations and understanding what the book is trying to tell us is the mystery itself we don't know who is behind it how many of them there are and if the book was even meant to be found in the first place next page I want to cover is 18 it features a full page photo of Nelson's column in London the words Crossfire Gambit are written vertically in pencil alongside the column this page could easily be discarded to the uninitiated but this code Crossfire Gambit was much later found to be a domain to a website Crossfire gambit.cis of 52 code words with the word map at the very bottom Pages 30 and 31 a coordinate is written down with a mysterious cube in between with the inscriptions mm1 1620 the coordinates take us here a rural area in Georgia known for being where the Georgia gu Stones once stood the GU Stones by themselves are a mystery their creation purpose and eventual destruction stays a topic of conspiracy theory till this day back in June of 1979 a man going by the pseudonym of RC Christian approached a Joe fley who was a president of a granite company with a task of building a monument Christian told Finley that he was part of a well-funded group of Americans who saw its Monument as a culmination of 20 years of work he admitted his name was false and demanded that no one was to ever know his true identity or that of the group that he was representing he seemed to have an endless supply of money and by the term of legal contract old plans had to be destroyed after completion and all information about him withheld from the public Christians selected a 5 acre plot in the middle of of a cow pasture this area chosen was in close proximity to what the native Cherokee called Ali aloh the center of the world construction began and a year later in 1980 what was inil to the public was a Stonehenge like structure that would be known as the Georgia gu stones on the top square pillar the sentence let these be Guidestones to an age of freeon is written in ancient hieroglyphs Babylonian Canan form Sanskrit and ancient Greek each of the four 20ton rectangular Stones was etched with a mysterious group of 10 principles in eight different languages front and back in English Spanish Swahili Hindi Hebrew Arabic Chinese and Russian the structure also has an astrological significance as the four outer Stones were oriented to Mark the limits of the 18.6y Year lunar declination cycle the center column features a hole drilled at an angle from one side to the other through which the Northstar could be seen the same pillar had a slot carved through it which was aligned with the sun Solus and Equinox and an aperture with the Capstone allowed a ray of sun to pass through at noon each day shining a beam at the center Stone indicating the day of the year already strange by itself and from the moment of its unveiling the people in the area and throughout the United States have been both intrigued and weary about The Monument's origin and purpose but here's where it gets interesting back in 2009 a 6x6x6 cube of granite was cut from the top corner of one of the stones leaving a missing Notch at the top of the stone pillar 4 years later in 2013 a man named William Jeremy Ellis was arrested in the middle of the night while attempting to put the quebe back onto the monument he explained that he had removed the stone for personal esoteric and numerological reasons and that he decided to return it because he didn't want that way anymore in summer of 2014 a new mysterious Cube suddenly appeared in the hole featuring numbers and letters carved into each of its sides mm Jam 16 8 20 and 14 many new theories would spring up because of this however this would all come crumbling down literally when the stone was attacked back in 2022 by a homemade explosive device living them structurally damaged and causing the state to take them down soon after as mysterious as these Stones came they left us with more questions and answers and their connection to this mystery creates even more of them I had to tell you all this as context because of certain things are coming up later on on page 37 we find photos of England's East Coast a form is written next to the 11th and at the very bottom of the page a series of seemingly random dots drawn in pencil this was actually found to be a map of the radar cluster at Royal Air Force menwith Hill each dot represents a radar Dome a waterproof enclosure that protects the radar antenna this has been described as the largest electronic monitoring station in the world on page 49 it features pictures of Scotland and a cipher written in pen at the very bottom the cipher is known as a Freemason Cipher when translated it reads talula Joana talula and Joana are two words from the crossfire Gambit Cod wordss page 69 depicts a map of Scandinavia at the very bottom we find a word written in Cherokee which translates to secret a set of coordinates could also be found right next to it as well as a compass with a set of two angles written down one with an i key with 313° and the other a hard key with 265° if we go to these coordinates we find ourselves at the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame and that Downtown Augusta a few years back this area featured a circle with eight radial lines resembling a compass this has long been removed and a new building stands here if we place this Compass right on that location two rays shoot out from the angles written down on the compass following the heartkey one takes us directly to Augusta University campus directly to a giant compass that is built in the campus Courtyard the other angle takes us all the way to a place called br mown Bal Visitors Center a large viewing area that sits on top of Georgia's highest mountain at 4,784 FT above the sea level jumping forward to page 113 we find depictions of Paris France the word manalan is circled in pen at the bottom of the page something in written in Cherokee which translates Loosely to daughter of a chief or princess we'll come back to the significance of this word later page 185 depicts scenes of the dolomites of Snippets of word on a page are circled La U tall which when rearranged spells to Lula drawn in blue ink within this map a horizontal line represents the Georgia North Carolina border a symbol similars the Aquarius symbol is drawn near the North End of the map this symbol most accurately represents the Native American symbol for mountains on pages 268 and 270 we find a drawing of the torch of friendship Monument ment in San Antonio on a page after we find scenes of Puerto Rico the code Rosa is written on a photo over the Tower of the University of Puerto Rico and the word CH is written at the very bottom above the word Rico a sketch of a castle tower is drawn on a photograph of the ocean the sketch appears to be a depiction of the painting The Red Tower by Georgio de chero on page 341 we get a very interesting boat-shaped pencil drawing with the word eve written next to it and an arrow pointing upwards what is interesting about this one is that when the book was initially published online on April 2019 this structure was completely unknown that is because it didn't exist yet a month later however on May of 2019 a bow-shaped stone structure our installation was unveiled to the public on the Augusta Canal river right next to East Street designed to depict the historic Petersburg boats that were one once used as cargo vessels alongside the Augusta Canal but how did the book know this a whole month before it was unveiled while the art project was officially unveiled to the public on May 31st 2019 It is Well documented that the project took a few weeks to build this project was created by the Augusta University Art Professor Brian rust and it was built with the help of students from that same University meaning that the book annotator either had early access to the proposal proposal and design papers or was able to observe the construction progress in person because unless you were there physically anyone outside of the area wouldn't have known about the rpce at all this creates another connection between Augusta University and the book annotator page 369 depicts scenes from Columbia South America at the top of the page there's what seems to be random lines and a symbol circulated on the bottom right of the page right after we have half a set of coordinates with a snake and cross symbol the half coordinates are latitude quarts which when placed on a map pass right on top of a Vulcan Quarry which eily resembles a shape drawn on the First beage with intersecting railroad lines at the top the river passing by the left and the shape of the Quarry itself the symbol drawn in the middle is given us an angle from its latitude line at 315° drawing the line from here takes us to a location known as fryan pan Mountain on page 387 the line New York Times is circled to dat stamps written and the standard way used in the US military read 15 November 36 and 9 September 887 these are possible references to newspaper articles remember the code word princess for page 113 the New York Times article from 15 November 1936 has a piece at the very bottom ending with a Cherokee princess in September December 9 1987 we find the New York Times talking about a new radar construction by the Soviets and cross New Yorks in Siberia this is potentially in connection with the 48th code word from the crossfire Gambit white Alice referring to the white Alice Communication Center this was built in Alaska as the United States first line of defense page 502 depicts a map of the southeastern United States and a scene of the Smoky Mountains a circle and a line are drawn AC across the border between Georgia and North Carolina underneath depiction of the Eye of Providence a symbol seen primarily on the $1 bill it means to represents the oan eye of God or Divine knowledge but it's also heavily associated with masonry and secret societies the true meaning behind a symbol here is unknown but it seems like pyramid symbology is a reoccurring theme in the book on the right side another angle diagram can be found as well as a series of ciphers three coordinates are written under them the first is brown B in Georgia which was the location assigned to the I key back on page 68 the second is Panther toop lookout tower near Murphy North Carolina this location has an inscription on the grass right next to the tower that reads n26 the third chord is for the entrance to NTA Church in Cherokee County note that this one has a star next to it Reddit user stuff Kanan from the soana sub rdit actually scouted this location in June of 2019 he posted a photo of some graffiti he found while there on a road sign he found some stickers and some codes written in Cherokee language the stickers are of an eye and a deck of cards shown a card from each suit the first word reads triangle the second was a bit harder to read but it could possibly either say liar or seven then it says star this could refer to the star drawn next to the coordinat on the location then the word go and new a which is the capital of the Cherokee Nation has stood from 1825 until its forc removal in the late 1830s at the very bottom we see Exodus 208 which reads remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy this is one of the Ten Commandments and can be seen on the Ten Commandments monument at the fields of the wood located a short distance away in Murphy North Carolina we then see a tear shape with BB written under it BB might might be referring to the crossfire Gambit word BB the fact that this location was scouted and the actual clothes were found on site significantly deepens the mystery and expands its scope what if all these locations we've been mapping out and pinpointing hold hidden cluthes in them perhaps the reason they appear like dead ends is that we're supposed to physically go and investigate these places if this holds true it raises numerous questions about the true orchestrators of all this who is behind it and what level of Manpower and real world coordination is involved in Enigma under these coordinates a sketch of a heart and Two bows and an arrow are drawn seven circles with three of them crossed out and a 7 lb 2 lb and 3 lb written under page 509 depicts a photo of Middleton Gardens in Charleston South Carolina an unidentified map or diagram is drawn on the top of the page the word Magnolia is circled on the page half set of coordinates is written right under the angle bearing symbol inside seems to only show a single line passing through the coordinates given like before are geographical cords searching for locations that this line passes through reveals a circular Dirt Road in the same shape page 512 and 513 depicts scenes of South Carolina in Georgia the word icon is circled in a caption of a photo of horses playing Polo a diagram is drawn on a photo this is likely another location shaped like the Quarry however this location hasn't been found yet on the next page we see a series of dots marking certain letters in a sense gracious Georgia has various topography varied interests another angle bearen symbol can be found on the right if we pick every letter with the dot under it we get this word however pay attention to how the letters were chosen so that each one is never directly above or below the other making it so that we can read the whole code from left to right doing this gives us top gred scramble it a bit and it reads top Target currently we don't know what any of the codes on these two pages mean the next two pages depict more scenes from Georgia the first thing we see is seven circles drawn with three Heaven an x on them similar to on page 503 the word cyclor circled a gravel and a spade are drawn under these are well-known symbols associated with Freemasonry to the right we see the word word closer circled note how the S was added by the annotator a cipher written vertically on an obis shaped Tombstone with a diagonal line cutting through it and another angle bearing symbol next to it the geographical chords can be found under note the word Cyclorama and cloysters both have nine letters here the S might have been added to bring them to the same length on page 518 we find a set of coordinates at the bottom on the next page right after a small 14 is written above the two and 1200 miles then under that we found a drawing of two rectangles with some numbers if we use the coordinates given in the previous page it takes us to a field in austa Georgia this is the Magnolia Cemetery a place where many important figures of the Masonic temple were buried on this drawing we have a set of numbers symbols and letters a triangle and three circles with x's on them B P and J if we overlay these on the real map it gives us three correspondent locations to three three different Graves G for James Gardner go member of the skull and bone Society B for Dr William West buzy a Freemason and P for Charles Henry fennessy unknown the third and second simply refer to the names of the streets that are drawn over third and Second Street the diagram drawn at the bottom of the page is known as the 47th Problem of uid this is also known as the Pythagorean theorem this theorem is a fundamental Concept in geometry and Mathematics it's also of great symbology it is often used as a symbol to represent the pursuit of knowledge and Enlightenment there's also a 6 PB written at the very bottom on page 636 we have another segment of code written at the bottom this one however ends with the word Tula same word we saw on page 49 page 693 the Big scenes from Oklahoma a set of coordinates can be found at the bottom of the page these coordinates point to the ch Memorial in Eastern Tennessee along the bank of the little Tennessee River this Memorial is on the location of the previous Cherokee Capital it's made up of eight stone pillars seven representing the seven clans of the Cherokee and the eighth of the Cherokee Nation itself on page 695 we find the last set of coordinates in the entire book these coordinates take us to price Memorial Hall at North Georgia University which was built on the foundations of the previously destroyed dollar cona United States Mint it minted its first coin in 1838 if you remember this was a date written from the very started the book the pyramid-shaped steeple on a structure has an uncanny resemblance to Murphy's pyramid and for the last three pages of the book page 752 and 766 we have a triangle with a dot in the middle drawn on a map of Hawaii near Hulu the word canura is written at the bottom of the page and the letter wmw you written on the last page and that's all the pages with annotations once the book was studied a map began to form we had code words ciphers locations and diagrams and real Clues found at real locations but it seemed like the mystery came to a halt as some of the ciphers given seemed to just be impossible to break the connections were too obscure to really form any coherent plan and for everyone looking from the outside the so jaana book was just a strange anomaly that didn't really go anywhere there are at least four different types of coded language that can be found within the book the simplest ones are the Cherokee Words which can easily be translated and the Freemason Cipher which only appears on page 49 the third type is the circles with crosses in them of which there are seven each time and the fourth are the random lines of letters which obviously are meant to be decoded but even after using every type of deciphering method these just appear to be impossible to break and so without these codes being broken trail goes cold and for a while the mystery of the soana book and the search for its hidden meanings just came to a A New Lead [Music] halt until a seemingly random post would be made on r/f found paper a subr completely dedicated to old photos of pieces of paper that people find discarded cutouts throwaway sketchbooks and vintage newspapers stuff like that the post is made by a Wendy Wendy on September of 2020 regarding an old terra flyer they found in Maggie Valley North Carolina it read my first good find bizarre pull tab flyer found on ground in Maggie Valley North Carolina add points to website with only a list of words on it and those words are on the back of the tabs with playing card symbols this old and destroyed Terra flyer seems to have a website link Crossfire gambit.cis by a playing card symbol we'll come back to this in a bit the flyer seems to have an almost completely faded out picture over it seems to be a house with a symbol on it this was found to be the appalachin quilt Trail marker the quilt Trail markers are usually a square sign painted on wood or metal often resembling A Quilt Block or pattern this is typically displayed on the exterior of a building or structure alongside a designated Trail in the amachin region of the United States these Trail markers serve as a form of rural tourism where Travelers are meant to follow the markers that thought the landscape to find unique and hidden Appalachian experiences under the image we find a shorthand written poem the text says I made up my mind in the river to come and live with you here in the nightland this is a passage from a fairly obscure and Old Cherokee poem called nightland only one copy of the poem can be found online in a 2010 Smoky Mountains newspaper article by writer and historian George Ellison the article is titled secret poems of the Cherokee interestingly George talks about the culture of the Cherokee Medicine Man and how fascinated he is by them he says I have always been struck by these sacred formulas chants or incantations that the Cherokee medicine men use to create good luck in hunting or Warfare in healing or in Affairs of the heart this poem was sourced as being taken from the book history myths and secret formulas of the Cherokee by James Mooney going back to the crossfire gam.com website if we take a closer look at the words how they're arranged colorcoded and how some of them are on the back of the flyer with card names and symbols on them this gives us a clue that each of the chord words is correspondent to a card in a deck when looking deeper at the website itself we found that it was registered on 10:10 2019 this predates the original Reddit post and what's even stranger is that the website is entirely written in HTML 1.0 which hasn't been widely used in decades on this list we can already see some words that we can recognize BB is one of them which refers to the BB we saw written on the road sign talula and jaana are another two these can be recognized from page 49 as part of the Freemason Cipher we decoded there are also many pages that we have looked and skipped which had code wordss written on them these Pages seemed irrelevant before but now with our newly found Discovery have taken on a new meaning some of these are the title page which has had the word Red Bar written next to an incomplete phone number high jump which was on page 120 kapina on 239 Rosa on 270 chosa Tonga on 366 artichoke on 403 smokemont on 442 lemon and zebon on page 464 Iris and all good on 523 Union can be found on 538 spearfinger nowhere and Noland on page 582 burnt black on 587 Rusty knife on 628 Corona pork chop on page 666 Fairview and Einstein on 683 and musket on 691 all these code words are written in pencil looking even deeper into these code words one of these words medicine down was found to have a domain registered to it medic down.com takes us to a website with a single photo on it the picture is black and white and it depicts the Murphy pyramid which we're all familiar with by now if we go and download this image it takes us to an imager page and it downloads a photo as a gift format interestingly the dimensions of the image are exactly 1838 by 1838 this is the same number we saw from the very first page of the book and which correlates with the date from the very last coordinate from the book this number is also of great significance in Cherokee history as it was the starting year of the trail of Tears the Trail of Tears was a forced removal and relocation of several Native American tribes including the Cherokee from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States to Oklahoma it was a tragic and devastating event marked by suffering disease and thousands of deaths due to exposure to harsh conditions during the force Journey we don't know why this number keeps reappearing over and over again but it could be trying to tell us something or it could be a passcode for something else else after some examining and playing around with the image a hidden message was found hidden within the image switching the image to RGB color space and increasing saturation reveals two sets of keywords the words ailia Joanna Bib and Tula to the left and Rosa white Alice Jenny benino Eve Iris and takoa to the right very interesting stuff these of course are all keywords from the crossfire Gambit except for ailia which is written differently on the gabit having been written here with an F instead of a pH around February of A Revelation last year Reddit users Spotlight 25 from the soana book subreddit had an idea they looked at the original post and realized that while the original post has the location from where they got the book from no one actually tried to look deeper into that lead and so they reached out to the owner of the shop to ask where did this book come from what they got back was interesting to say the least the owner claimed to have never sold the book they claimed that while they had many copies of around the world in 1000 pictures which is the prequel around the world in 2000 was never in their inventory however once they were told more about the mystery and everything surrounding it they did recall receiving a strange letter in the mail from around the time the book was unveiled in 2019 the good news was a shopkeeper didn't throw away the letter and so they were able to send back some images starting with the envelope we can clearly see the same blue pen handwriting on the book the name of the store is written on the front as well as the address inside the envelope are four pieces of paper one is a scan of page 52 and 503 from the book unchanged the next is a seemingly unrelated internal Freemason document discussing the creation of the Masonic Shrine in Maggie Valley North Carolina the next paper is a scan of page zero but with a sticker note added to the first page that reads Mary this is a soana book private radio network 11 princesses of the Cherokee this is really strange because we know that the name sojan book came after the book scans were released when the term 50y Joana was mistakenly read as so Joana but according to the owner this letter was sent to them before that so maybe the name wasn't a mistake maybe whoever created this book wanted it to come out to the public and wanted it to be called that name maybe op who originally found this book isn't as innocent as they seemed if we go back to the original post and take a closer look we can see that Opie claimed to have posted the book originally to r/w is's thing and his post was removed by mod suggesting him to post it to Ruzzle that part is true however if we go back to the original thread we can see that the first time the name so Joana ever appeared on the internet was by the same guy and on the same day there's actually two times where he uses the name so Joanna but hold on a minute take a look at Opie's name s junkie Einstein something is suspicious here if we take another look at the crossfire Gambit we see that Einstein is one of the code wordss so it seems like this whole thing was a well planned out roll out of an Internet mystery disguised as an accidental find this also brings in question the flyer Leaf come to think of it now it is quite suspicious how right as the search slowed down someone just so happened to find a flyer with enough Clues and info on it to jump start the mystery again disguised as an accidental find okay so obviously there are more people in on it than we initially thought we still don't know who these people are how many of them there are and what even is the point of the mystery in the first place is it leading us somewhere a final location where something will be found is it a test to to see who will be able to figure out the puzzle or is it some form of recruitment method all we know for now is that this was a planned out thing by multiple people with very specialized knowledge on US history geography cryptography and with many of them hiding in plain sight now we're getting into the more Wendi/Ricky recent discoveries the final part of the puzzle is the part that seems to still be ongoing till this day and it has to do with two things a Twitter account and a YouTube channel that's linked with the mystery that's been found on December 25th of 2022 a cryptic tweet would be made by a user on Twitter quote ssby chess's Old office is available to move into #c Crossfire Gambit # Atrium atreum being the fifth word on the crossfire Gambit the Tweet came with an image that seems to be an old office space with a bunch of overlay texts given more information about it for the next 4 days nine more cryptic tweets with highly edited Ed and superimposed images would be made time is a mirror Crossfire Gambit Green Glow 1111 with an image of Ferman University Lake and clock tower Dia Hali Crossfire Gambit Joana Los a chery word which translates to the lizard place the image is of around the janab bolt area C catalog for Center Keystone Crossfire Gambit Rusty Knife free masonry linked with an image of the same Masonic letter that was sent to the shopkeeper only this one seems to have something hidden within it Winter's getting warmer not colder Crossfire Gambit Rosa reload three keys are shown in the image one blue one green one red the caption is from a song by a band called Jupiter coyote the song is Rosa Hill can you hide them from the waiting World Crossfire Gambit Jenny salagi the aerial photo is taken from just across the river from for Smith the end point of the Trail of Tears can you hide them from the waiting World appears to be from a song called Mother by Danzig is a sandbar open on Christmas Crossfire Gambit gray bead Apple Tei screenshot is from a location in Google Earth Blue Line pointing to Joanna's B 500 capacity Crossfire Gambit golden summer heart of art the photo is of the 40 watt Club in Athens Georgia overlaying a screenshot of the band Ram playing at the club in 1992 don't become some background noise Crossfire Gambit white Alice 368 MHz the image is of Mountain Fire Tower taken from a YouTube video the quote don't become some background noise and from Queen's 1984 Song Radio Gaga UT Luna Crossfire Gambit spear finger U Luna which is a Cherokee word for spearfinger also the 43rd word in a crossfire Gambit each one of these tweet seems to be a clue and each one has a word from the crossfire Gambit connections are still being worked out about the meaning of these images the locations they show and how they all fit in the puzzle but one thing that caught my eye is the name Wendy Dominique we've seen this name before the flyer on the r/p paper subreddit was made by an account called Wendy Wendy notice how both Wendy's are written exactly the same obviously this confirms that the found paper was quote unquote found on purpose like we suspected before the final tweet that Wendy would post is of a YouTube video titled 09 132 D28 the video is posted by I Ricki misten the title of the video was found to be an ID code for a solar eclipse on the nasa.gov website specifically of an eclipse from May 4th 1837 the video was uploaded on May 4th 2022 it starts with a field of black ey Su and flowers before cutting to a solar clipse while the cover of black hole Son by sio m starts playing in the background the song ends and the video Fades to a golden coin dating to 1838 it appears to be a $5 golden half eagle coin this type of coin was one of the few coins minted at the dala mint we spoke about prior this video is believed to have a deeper esoteric meaning to it the eclipse has long been an illusion for the black Sun a symbol of esoteric and occult significance used in various belief system systems the black Sun can represent the Hidden World or inner Sun as there is above our normal star so below it exists as opposite it also represents the first stages of putrification process in alchemy where impure and crude substances like lead are transmuted into the pure and Noble Metals like gold and of course here we have the black Sun turning into a golden coin the video then cuts to a plain card three of diamonds the coord is written on the card take us to Murphy's pyramid yet again a red key with the word Rosa is placed on top of the card if we take in consideration the angle the key is placed in on top of the card it gives us a 133° angle which points directly to the Georgia gu stones from Murphy's pyramid there's also a hunting knife above pointing right if we go to Ricky's Channel we see that Ricky started posting videos on the same day the book scans dropped online on April 23rd 2019 and that he had already uploaded 10 videos before this one that we just watched and 13 overall by the time I'm making this video also note the Channel's Banner it's a slot carved through the middle pillar of If You Guessed It the Georgia gu Stones another thing is the pseudonym Ricky miston some have found it suspiciously similar to the pseudonym of Robert C Christian the anonymous person who commissioned for the godstones construction Robert C Christian Ricky m Christian I'd say that considering how everything else in the mystery is intentional and the channels Banner that this is most likely the case the First videos uploaded on the channel are jam and 14 which are obviously nudges to the Georgia Cube and are both short clips from the British show Utopia both videos have their location set to the Georgia G stones but the videos that I want to focus on which seem to have obvious clothes in them are artichoke zebon all good and spearfinger starting with aroke it begins with videos depicting the Murphy pyramid and the Charleston pyramid with the song Jenny aroke playing in the background the video showcases multiple different locations and at the very end it shows a tunnel to Nowhere in Bryson City North Carolina an abandoned unfinished tunnel believed to be haunted and home to spearfinger a monster and witch in Cherokee legend next video is zebon we see a list of cards with coordinates written on them if we take these cards and list them we get a bunch of locations each linked with the card student rank however we don't really know what this is meant to mean we've long suspected that the crossfire Gambit list is connected to the cards but without a guide we don't really know how except there is another place where we have seen cars before all the way back on the location found by going to the coordinates on page 503 the road sign it had stickers with cards on it but notice her suit heart space diamonds and clubs what is interesting is there is no known game that uses this specific order of cards using this ranking of Suits we can start applying this to the cards and using that to get a numerological order from every card starting with the Ace of Hearts as number one and ending with King of Clubs as number 52 if we do this we can then apply a card to each of the words within the CrossFit Gambit starting with the top as one all the way to the bottom as 15 2 doing this gives us a code word for each card now if we do the same and apply a code word for every card shown in the video it gives us an order of words if we take the first letter from every word it produces this Cipher svenness as a Vier Cipher with this code word which is the cipher text from page 515 and 636 combined produces this phrase four and seven born hidden reveals the cave of Princess tcoa four and seven born hidden is believed to refer to the four and seven hidden keyword sequence we found in the medicine down image this one was very difficult to solve and it would have been impossible without some Clues from Ricky himself within the comments next up is all good it features a slideshow of photographs of different locations there are more cars displayed throughout the video with keys shown every time basing the provided code words and the specific correspondent card the seven of diamonds and the 10 of Spades seven of diamonds corresponds to ailia and 10 of Spades corresponds to high jump first letters of both words gives us the word o when doing this for the rest of the cards it spells out oh you'd like me to connect the dots for You Lead You from A to B to C the next video that's worth looking into is spear finger it showcases more locations with footage of a car driving around we then see fast flashes of what seems like graffiti of roses painted on a wall and at the end we see a dark tunnel this tunnel is also believed to be the tunnel to Nowhere a location that has appeared multiple times throughout the mystery earlier this year a member of the Discord server went to that tunnel and actually found the rose graffitis there were a total of 11 roses at the video cycle through with four red roses and seven white roses this lines up with the medicine down hidden text with four red keywords and seven blue ones and that is the last video Ricky had uploaded for now these are are the Ricky videos that were found to actually hold clues that have either helped or advanced search last video was uploaded 4 months ago so there were probably be more incoming in the future there are still so many little details locations Clues and tips scattered all over this Channel that I just had to skip over for the sake of the video's length but Ricky is undoubtedly a big part of the mystery and his videos in my opinion are the final key to everything we have looked over in a recent comment from Ricky under the spearfinger video he says the circles you've recently wandered in are stationary virtual Google Earth and all that if you ain't getting up you ain't getting up head east head north Head West head south make a day of it make the circle count buy a new pair of hiking boots get an oil change visit our local libraries stop and check out the historical markers just don't begin up in the middle of the night in the middle of a national park in the middle of a new moon unless you meet up with your familiar face from all the locations that were scouted Clues have been found in all of them and like Ricky said it's perhaps time to maybe take a hike and find these locations ourselves now personally and like many you coming into this I initially waved this off as just another ARG I mean for anyone looking in from the outside it takes every box an internet mystery with meta storytelling Clues puzzles to solve Etc however the deeper I looked into it the less sure I was with that original assumption in fact I don't even have a clue what this is all about anymore if it is an ARG it's a seriously impressive one Whatever It Is this is by far the most unknown and elaborate online Mysteries that I have ever come across and I thought that it deserved some attention from my point of view mystery just needs more eyes looking into it it needs people with knowledge and cryptography the suffering coats it needs more people out there boots on the ground scouting these locations and more newer people that could look at this from a different point of view and maybe make some connections that we have failed to see there are still so many questions about literally everything what the codes mean in the book are the locations meant to complete some sort of map how many of these locations have actual clues in them who is Wendy and what do her tweets mean and of course the biggest one is who is Ricky and how do his videos fit into the overall mystery obviously the mystery has a lot to do with US history and Cherokee culture but there's also a bunch of other stuff in there that makes me question it like the connection with Freemasonry and secret societies the fascination with pyramids and Compasses as well as the meaning of all the sigils and symbols scribbled all across the book there's still so many questions to Outro be asked and so many Clues to be found but I still hold hope that one day very soon this mystery will finally unveil itself to us but but until that day comes the soana book will stay as one of the internet's deepest and most mysterious internet Mysteries and that's going to be it for this video I hope you've enjoyed your stay and I will see
