Hopefully at least my posts can stay up as some form of timestamped record of how this has unfolded so far.

Essentially, this forum sits here, largely quietly, as an archive of the earliest discussions around the work that finally led up to solving the Z340, and some other stuff. I can remember when all that was still happening and, although it was competely over my head, I used to check in with the relevant threads to see this work growing, hoping it would finally lead to something, which of course it did. I don’t even think this forum is linked from anywhere now, is it? Certainly not from the hosting website run by Dave. I remember it also as a refreshing alternative to Tom’s forum which, to my experience, always felt too busy with distracting nonsense and too noisy, too. It is, therefore, a good place to add your work to the archive, but sadly no longer the place to come if you are seeking active engagement.

You know, in Italian we say “we’re in the same boat” to mean that we’re going through the same situations and feelings.

That’s why I want to tell you to try to stay calm. The idea is yours—you had it, you shared it—and no one can take that away from you. It’s already part of your path and your value. There’s no need to stress or worry about losing it.

Instead, try to turn this energy into something concrete. You could make a video where you explain step by step what you want to do. You’ll see that it will help you share your idea more clearly and reach people in the right way.

I understand you more than you might think. I’m going through a similar moment too. I’m working on an idea that may sound crazy, but that I believe has solid grounds—that Zodiac and the Monster of Florence could be the same person. It’s not even my idea originally, but I chose to explore it and share it anyway.

In the end, though, I see it like this: if my analysis leads somewhere, great. If people listen, even better. If not… that’s okay too. It just means this was part of my path.

So really—take a breath, slow down, and trust that what you’re doing already has value, no matter how it turns out. 🙂 

Thank you for this response, truly.  I appreciate that.

I pretty much agree with everything you said here.  

We are the same in that we both are interested in this cipher, and so I am glad to have you around for that reason.

I do not want to be rude to anyone.  I just want this thing checked out, is all.

I’ve been thinking back to the Faycal proposed solution on here years ago.  I think it was problematic, but he had good intentions and believed what he was proposing was correct.  I guess that is the same story every time.  He wanted to use his skills to help move the case forward, so I consider him a good guy.

I guess the reason I feel that mine is much different is that I tested all of the plausible alternatives.  I didn’t add fancy steps on top of Zodiac’s instructions.

After it was debunked, it seems to have hurt future prospects on proposals, almost as if the door had been shut after that.  

Adding this simply because I find it interesting, and it relates to the proposed solution.

By radian, he meant radial.  Woops.

Also note the Eye of Diablo served as an air navigation station, fun fact.

Certainly been a looooooooong 4 months.

Sounds about right from my experience.

I wasn’t familiar with the forums ect until I signed up to share this.  Can’t do much about it, but luckily the internet is a very big place.  

I think many of the forum users were helpful tbh.  One of the first things someone asked about was how could he have made it without heavy equipment.  But it just assumes the big triangle is deep, is the problem.  Can’t know that without the test.  

They made me think about this myself so that is good.  At first I thought it might be deep as well, but then realized it is too big.  That would be too hard.  Looking at some images tells me it is shallow.

I didn’t share it this right away, but gathered additional corroborating evidence first (checked the topography from the sketch, few other things).  As it was accumulating it felt worthy of putting out there for consideration.

When I checked the coordinates at first I just saw an empty brown field for a second.  Nothing there.  Then my eye caught notice of the triangle.  Then it caught notice that this was right by Lake Herman Road.  So those two realizations happened seconds apart.  It was a strange feeling.  Obviously I was intrigued by the plaintext, but became more so after seeing where it pointed.

I had mentioned to my family that I might have solved this cipher, as I didn’t know what the response time would be, or what may or may not be found.  I was just trying to give them a heads up and told them about the experience, as one will do with their families.

Maybe that wasn’t a great idea to tell them around Christmas, as it has been months later they are probably wondering why I was so excited back in December.  But I still think it is going to get checked out one day.  To me it is pretty obvious.  It is a matter of perspective that simply needs a ground truth test to resolve.  

Version 3 is still getting released but I hit some fatigue for sure.  Hopefully I can get this past the finish line soon, to move on to other problems I also need to attempt to solve.  For now I have to hover around a bit longer than I had hoped.

It has been a very interesting experience with Z32 on many levels.  For me easy to say the most challenging problems I have faced in my lifetime, by a long shot.  The challenge transcends the cipher itself.  Even when the landmark was revealed, resistance was met.

“It was the cows!”, they said.  “Natural origin!  Wrong solution!”.

We will see.

None of the smart people I’ve heard back from have made any mention about watering holes or natural origin.  That is the forum theory.

While working on it, had a blast.  Was deep into the research on all of the clues, mind blown by everything appearing in physical reality before my very eyes.  Epic run.  Was fully locked in.  Still am, to a degree.  Not going to let this one go just because I got banned for an off topic response (lol).  It really is a silly thing to do, and super questionable imo.  My thread was building up steam, just needed the Dahlia rumor to lose interest.  He made that thread in all caps clickbait style.  Major distraction from the landmark by LHR.

The forum admin had a chance to debunk the work if he wanted to in the thread on his forums, but he never did so.  

So yeah I pretty much don’t like the forum admin guy and he is a part of the story.  His pointless banning didn’t falsify the work or make the triangle go away.   The landmark remains, and its purpose is clear.  Make it obvious where to look.  Probably why it matches the ciphertext, just in case we aren’t sure who made it (not cows).

Also did this all for free ect, spent a lot of time on it, trying to help out.  So if it ends up being correct yeah he’s getting a dishonorable mention.  It was BS and I am sure he knows that.  What he doesn’t know is if anything is buried in the triangle.  If there is, it really looks bad that he banned the guy who found it, considering he is supposed to be a “Zodiac expert”, whatever that is.  If the Zodiac expert doesn’t realize the Zodiac made that triangle, that is bad.

The triangle is exactly on the 10 o’ clock hour (adjusted for magnetic declination) relative to Mt. Diablo btw.  If the forum admin wants to tell me nature did all of that it is the funniest thing ever.

Hopefully we can all look back one day and laugh at how stupid the watering hole and natural origin theories were.  It is like flat Earth.

Forum admin is welcome to migrate over here and debate or whatever.  But I am not paying him 10 dollars.  No dollars from me.  

I am sure that won’t happen but it is an open invitation, and would definitely make this thread more entertaining while I wait around.

Lots of grifters and gatekeepers in this journey so far.  Gotta break through the wall.
