Even though I have properly reported it, I am realizing now that they have probably received so many bad Z32 proposals over the years, that mine likely went straight to a filing cabinet. The flood of bad attempts they receive are a waste of time and effort to deal with.
And so I need to raise awareness so that it is properly checked out, as I’ve found the incredible landmark after 55 years.

Essentially I’ve been lumped in with Faycal when my method is way better, lol.

No offense to Faycal, nothing against the guy. He sunk his costs but likely learned a lot and had some fun taking a crack at it.
However I am the finder of the triangle, he was not. It is just facts.

They might not call me the solver of the Z32 cipher (yet), but it is true that I am the finder of the triangle.

And let’s say it is natural in origin. Thought experiment.
I have discovered an amazing natural landmark. An equilateral triangle that appears in ’68, points north, and has an inner circle as well.
That amazing discovery of a “natural landmark” would itself be historical…..lol………

It’s been a total joke from my perspective and I am just glad I can say that here. I am grateful for that, at least.

With that said I will separate my annoyance with the general situation and behavior from the individuals.
However I am not a fan of the archetypical “authoritarian forum admin”, the “wall of silence debunk”, natural origin theory, watering hole theory, cow privacy advocates, ect ect.

My theory is that those type of people are why it has taken so long to solve. I don’t think they are helpful. It is ok to think it is wrong but natural origin? Come on now. Watering holes? I am smart enough to realize how dumb that is….

I’ve seen the same person use both natural origin and watering holes. Which is it?
They are trying to hard to force a debunk, just as they tried to force a solution to this cipher.
In their minds, just coming up with an alternative origin explanation is enough to toss the rest in the trash.
My personally confirmed solution is objectively selected and follows all of the included instructions.

It doesn’t even matter if the alternative origin explanation is wildly implausible, just putting one out there makes my proposal wrong (lol).
Again it is laughable so I mention it.

People can debate the validity of my solution. That is nice/cute. I found the landmark. Facts.

I think ranchers would all agree I have discovered an amazing watering hole, one unlike any other watering hole they have ever seen.

If any expert ranchers are viewing this thread, have you seen a watering hole of this morphology before? Is this standard practice?

I was wondering what the resistance was all about, but I think it has to do with the crime scene geometry.
I think people want to discredit the work because this was never discovered over the decades, and so they want to reject it because it makes them feel dumb for not seeing it long ago. Sorry about that. Just trying to share the findings.

I don’t really care if their minds reject it, as I know it to be mathematically true in objective reality, which is good enough for me. I just added lines to pre-existing points. Points that I did not create, the Zodiac did (they are his crime scene locations).
