Forum Game - Where's That Landmark?

OmCheeto

Argh! Crack would have been the last word I'd have thought of. I just showed it to someone, and the first word out of their mouth was "cracked".

Anyways.... This little waterfall's sister dam thingy was supposedly built only 3 years after that last little waterfall dam thingy was photographed that I posted the other day.

Please take note of the change to the clue above.

Also, whoever named these dams must have been dyslexic, in a numerical and chronological manner.

OmCheeto

Oddly enough, you have to google for both dams at once, and ignore the images when looking for dam #1, which is actually dam #2, which is not the dam we're looking for.

Dam!

OmCheeto

And not everyone may be aware that to make up to Hypatia involved me buying a new truck from the only car company that didn't go bankrupt last year.

Andre

Right

Lock and Dam No. 1 on the Mississippi River in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota,

OmCheeto

and googling: dam #1 and dam #2

yields:
as the first hit.

looking at the google images for the same search did not reveal either.

Andre

Nice you just have to see the node. So the new landmark demonstrates what hints and leads may end you up with:

Andre

This is no hint for the new landmark, just a response

Unfortunately I'm looking at google.nl and there is no way to get that changed into google.com and this is what dam #1 and dam #2 yields for me:

Not that I thought of that obviously

Gad

Looks like the back side of Mut temple in Egypt, am I right?

Andre

Yes you are right, it looks like it. But it's not the landmark. But very good.

Actually, I found this landmark when I was looking for the previous one in the first phase, including the Hypatia area clue. It's indeed father away than 500 miles from her area but closer than 1000 miles

Andre

Actually, the Mut temple would be closer than 500 miles.

Andre

As it looked in the former century sometimes.

OmCheeto

The Temple of Horus in Edfu, Egypt.



found on google.nl

Very odd that I can do that and you can't google.com

That kind of confounds the game almost as much as tinyeye.

The only way to make it simpler for someone here in the states to find the Ford dam would have been to give the coordinates.

OmCheeto

And of course, there was the lead which I did not follow:

Andre

the pic is obviously correct but I have another name, not Horus. I will explain later

OmCheeto

I guess I can continue?



Home of my vision of the future.

OmCheeto

I have not a clue what that means. And that is not a clue.

Seriously.

It's just a painted fence.
