Introduction

Thing's have changed, and it is time to move ahead, but no-one, (including myself) will ever do so unless we pull together as a team. We must take everything into condideration, step back and look again. Then perhaps we can move forward.

According to Publius we are all closer than we think, so it seems like we have done something right. But who, and what? What have we done that was right, and what is wrong? No one here knows..but there must be a way to figure this out. The debate on whether or not an actual "physical location" needed to be visited has ended. This point was made clear by Publius in his last post. One site has been visited by Steelbreze, but was it really part of the solution to the riddle? Or was it simply coincidence? Was the pre-victorian coin that he found a clue? If so how can we use this in relation to the other clues?

These are all questions that are is desperate need of answers. How in the world are we supossed to know what is right and what is wrong? So much information has been exchanged and it is virtually impossible to tell what is what. What about the page numbers? The most important of them being the CBTL silhouette. Why is the EMI number so cleverly hidden in the inside bottom left corner of the left page? Why is it so much smaller than the others? Publius says there is great significance in these numbers, then shortly afterwards it is discovered that this smaller page number had been overlooked, even by the guy who wrote the artwork differences file!

Also...Sean Heisler not so long ago pointed out the "PE" penciled onto the hillside in the Columbia CBTL art. I see it..and I strongly urge others who have not seen it to take a closer look. Why the different angles in the two photos? Something about the CBTL artwork makes me think that there is much more to it than what we see. The 2 clues, as well as the 2 different photos are certainly enough to make me wonder about the location of this photo and the importance of this location. If the "PE" stands for what I think it stands for then Publius has left his mark there for a reason. Why would he tell us there is importance in the page numbers if there is none? And why does the most clever difference in the numbers appear in the CBTL art?

As for the location...we all know that this is Durdle Door, Dorset. And we all know that Publius mentioned that he was going to guide us towards a landmark. It just so happens that Durdle Door is a quite famous landmark, a natrual doorway, or arch on the ocean.

"Because there'll be no saftey in numbers when the Right One walks out of the door"
Could it be that the "Right One" is simply going to be the one who leaves the door with the prize? ;) (Durdle Door) Why the door slaming in LFW? Is there really a womans voice hidden there as the door slams? Is she saying "the cave"? Is there an actual cave there that can be accessed by us? Is there a long foot path that will take us to the door? "A long road lies ahead..begin to chart it's course."

Why all the references to drowning, in the KT lyrics, the CBTL art, and the Shine on film! Lot's of things seem to be pointing to this location, and there is only one way to find out if this is it!


Why Durdle Door?

In the USA tour program there is a Roman numeral XVII (17). This appears opposite of the photo of Rick. The drawing is of the stone heads, the XVII appears clearly on the right edge. Now, the number 17 seems to be coming up a lot! The significance of it appears to be strong.

Pagenumber 17 is "Coming Back To Life" in both EMI and Columbia. I really have a strong feeling that the physical location that needs to be visited is Durdle Door! There are more clues that have been mentioned that may point to this. The womans voice in LFW just as the door slams, is she really saying "The cave"? I think so!

Also, the "dix-neuf" underneath the Japanese 17 in CBTL. This "dix-neuf" also appears in the silhouette for KT on page 19 " (dix-neuf, French 19). Look at the lyrics! "I feel like I'm drowning, you know I can't breath now" And I still think that Dave sings the words "Where were you" while he uses the voice box during KT in the Earls Court PPV.


Right or Wrong, Left or right?

Doing some thinking about "the Right One" has produced some possible results. Confusing they are...but they seem to make sense.

Try to follow along...
The CBTL silhouette in the Columbia version is facing to the right, the smaller EMI CBTL silhouette is facing to the left. Therefore, the Columbia head would be on the left, and the EMI would be on the right. See what I mean? This makes the EMI silhouette which faces to the left "the Right One." As well as the only one that differs in size compared to all of the others.

Same theory goes for the boxing gloves, the right one is on the left, and the left one is on the right! "There'll be no safety in number when the Right One walks out of the door." The "Right One" as in the smaller EMI page silhouette, is at the door, Durdle Door. Right + Numbers + Door = Our treasure?

OH...don't forget about the womans voice saying "the cave" when the door slams in LFW!


Definitions for "right"

"The right bank of a river; the bank on the right hand of a person whose face is turned in the direction in which the water runs" The EMI CBTL silhouette!
"The water flowing, the endless river, forever and ever"

And another:
"Right center; those members of a legislative assembly, as in France who belong to the Center and having sympathies with the Right." Our three white dots? Hmmm.... In the Columbia version the CBTL silhouette faces to the right but would actually be standing on the left, it is in this silhouette where the dix-neuf appears under the regular Japanese 17, (dix-neuf French!)

Both of the above definitions appear in my Websters, they appear here in the same order as in the dictionary! "Wearing The Inside Out" as in reversed! Just as if you were looking into a mirror.


Where is Durdle Door?

Durdle Door is just a few kilometers east of Weymouth, very close to West Lulworth and Lulworth Cove (which is also interesting). What happened to Jon Milton? I think he's the one who went to Durdle Door not so long ago. But he did not visit the exact site in question. I heard it's sort of hard to get to. I have learned that the door is not accessible by car, it can be reached only on foot. You have to walk about a mile or so to get to it. Then from there you can walk along the shore to the door it's self. Somewhere around there our prize could be hidden. It is in no way out of the realm of possibilities, therefore it should be considered as the next location to be visited and searched.
