“The first Japanese ambassadors have arrived in New York City. They look strangely medieval. They even brought swords and armor which have a unique style unlike anything I have ever seen. More importantly however, they have gifted us a map that could be invaluable to our search for the seven cities of Cibola. They have an acute understanding of geography despite being closed away for so long.
Attempts to find any Fountain of Youth have been unsuccessful. The few proposed sites have led to nothing of consequence. One of the sites has a fantastic pond that glows at night, although this appears to be a natural phenomenon of phosphorescent organisms. The Spanish have always kept an unusual interest in Cuba. Florida as well until we bought the land from them. Have they discovered something of which we are unaware?
-Franklin Pierce 1853
Update, I offered to purchase Cuba for $120 million and the Spanish would not come to an agreement. They are obviously hiding that Cuba has more to offer than a strategic military location or profitable tobacco crops.
“I used to be staunchly against the Freemasons and other secretive groups that would push their own agendas over the needs of the people and this country. I am beginning to see now that the true threat lies solely with the Illuminati. It would not surprise me if Zachary Taylor was assassinated with a poison by their hands. He made a lot of enemies, but not more so than with the Compromise of 1850 bills. Without a Federal Reserve to fall back onto, the Illuminati must be getting their funding from the South. This would explain why Southerners, even those who do not own slaves, lobby so hard to keep control.
Finding these cities of Cibola could be extremely important to our future. I have a chance to begin relations with Japan that could be hugely beneficial to trade with China and the East. They could have valuable information regarding secrets of the Pacific Ocean. Their shores have remained closed to foreign influence for more than three hundred years. This should be an interesting challenge.
“I have traveled all throughout this country and have never seen a city of gold. Although there are things in the wild lands that nobody would believe me if I told them. I have seen these “Skinwalkers” as the natives call them. I have seen many other creatures from their legends too. Such as the great thunderbird, the large wild men, and even horned jack rabbits. I am fond of the Jackalopes actually. They sing during the thunderstorms late at night. All these I have seen, though from a great distance of course. I have no proof unfortunately.
-Zachary Taylor 1850
*See NPS-CD File #1001″
Oooo, that last part is cryptic. What could NPS-CD stand for? Is this something else I need to find? Like, jackalopes at least used to exist, but there is a file on them somewhere. I must find them, they are so cute! Who else thinks about America’s Funniest Home Videos when they think of jackalopes?
“We need a more secure location to cache the Freemason’s greatest treasures. I can think of no better way of doing this than constructing a monument in honor of George Washington, the first president of these United States of America. One of, if not, the greatest member of the Freemasons in history. A secret vault will be constructed below the foundations. It will have provisions to keep it well hidden behind several locks and keys that only the brightest individuals, well-versed in the teachings of the Freemasons, will be able to solve their way through. There will also be guards of course.
“The land we gained from the Mexican War will prove vital. I have strong sources suggesting that Montezuma’s gold was transported somewhere above the Baja Peninsula in the western desert after his death in 1520. There are Spanish reports of Aztec warriors fleeing north with several crates. They were too preoccupied with conquering Tenochtitlan to follow them. One of my sources is not necessarily loyal and may tell other parties about this theory as well. We must act quickly before the Illuminati tries to intercept the treasure before us.
~James K. Polk 1848″
It was difficult for me to get the whole map in a single frame. The quality didn’t come out as good as I hoped. I feel like there’s something hidden on this map like the Atlantis Map and perhaps the Washington D.C. Map. Let me know if you need a better copy to help me investigate. Otherwise I’m stumped.
