Seriously, though, various groups demanding, or outright taking, anything they find seems plausible enough. Why are these dudes giving press conferences right before they might uncover stuff? Wait till you find it and move it somewhere safe and decide what to do with it before you start talking idiots!

I watched an episode of Expedition Unknown where they were looking for the gold.

They were in a forest and found some tunnels in the ground. Turned out they must have not been touched since the mid-40s. The walls were clearly carved by hand tools. The tunnels were totally bare and went for a while before they found a shuttered opening that was giving off radiation.

Guessing that they didn't have the capital themselves to get this search and excavation off the ground and had to get other parties involved who wanted a little publicity. Publicity can also get you even more backers in short order, and I would not be surprised if there were other teams out there closing in on the area and this crew decided to go for broke and get as much attention and money as possible to get digging before someone else gets there first.

They left, like any sane person would.

I can't find any pictures of it online, but I would have said "gently caress this" as soon as I went in. The unnatural smoothness and pockmarks from being hand carved made it creepy. The tunnel kept going forever until they got to the closed off portion.

So I was listening to the last podcast on the left episode where they're talking about dulce base, which is supposed to be this massive underground complex full of government dudes and several kinds of aliens and all that noise and how it was dug with secret nazi technology we got from operation paperclip, and then I find this sweet poo poo.

Not gonna let this make me go crazy but man I love stalker and the dude running around with the dowsing rods in that New York Times article makes me so happy to think about. More of this type of poo poo please. On that note would anybody get down on a thread about The Principality of Sealand?

I don't know how often nazi trains carried gold, but I bet they carried a lot of bombs, shells, grenades, ammunition, and explosives back then, so first and foremost I'd view it as a train full of those, all old and rusty. Also it'd be just like the nazis to booby trap their gold

so if they dig up a unexploded bomb from WW2 and it explodes and kills some soldiers or trucks or something and the identity of the pilot who dropped it can be established from old mission logs, do they get retroactively added to the pilots war score?

Another line of research to consider involves the assumption that the birth of a century is fixed upon the founding of the USA in 1776, thus Century One is 1877-1976 and Century Two is 1977-2076. Something having to do with a "white house", "freedom" and a medal (see image 2's Fort Sumter), palms on ribbon bars, in 1977, the birth of Century #2, First Lady Bird Johnson received the Pesidential Medal of Freedom.

How might Lady Johnson be connected with May 1913 or something relevant to Charleston?

In 1972, First Lady Pat Nixon traveled to Africa with former First Lady Bird Johnson,



I find it interesting that they delivered a speech at the inauguration of William Tolbert (born May 13, 1913). This African travel story about the 36th and 37th First ladies is a little more accessible to a 1981-based audience than a 68 year old magazine article. Furthermore, Tolbert is the grandson of Danial Frank Tolbert of South Carolina who sailed from Charleston to Monrovia on the Azor on April 21st, 1878 (Liberian Exodus).

Acknowledging the Edwin and Edwina reference in Abroad in America, means recognizing this individual: Edward Wilmot Blyden (3 August 1832 – 7 February 1912), the father of pan-Africanism, an educator, writer, diplomat, and politician primarily in Liberia. I think it's clear that some deep African/Charleston research was performed by Preiss.

Looking again at the verse,

Harken to the words:
Freedom at the birth of a century = Lady Bird Johnson, recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977
Or May 1913 = an issue of National Geographic or the birth of William Tolbert in Africa
Edwin and Edwina named after him = Edward Wilmot Blyden
Or on the eighth a scene
Where law defended

The use of the word "or" would indicate some particular connection between the Freedom and May lines, so the focus on Lady Bird Johnson and her trip to Africa to meet Tolbert should lead the searcher to relevant thing or place in Charleston. Perhaps the Blyden line supports the May 1913 line by stimulating some geographic thinking about Liberia.

I'm beginning to think we must hearken to the words of Lady Bird Johnson delivering a speech in Liberia. I'm also beginning to think her name is important to picking up on the relatively obscure news of a murder scene on April 8th of 1873 when lighthouse keeper Andrew Johnson killed his wife. Since I've used the internet to reveal most all of these details, I'm still unsure how people would proceed to make each discovery in 1982. Anything is possible, but it seems only a Charleston resident would have the privilege of hearing the gory tale about a monster in their own backyard. I don't know what source would apply to paying attention to the events of the First Ladies. These days I only hear about Michelle Obama by watching Jimmy Fallon. Maybe Ed Sullivan reported on Pat and the Bird in 1971...(before my time)...but I don't really know what source would best be used in 1982. I'm Urban Smurf and I'm quite literally special in the weird way
