I have spent many hours on the clues and keys. I say clues and keys as I believe each clue consists of two elements. Firstly the clue to the location and secondly the exact place or object (key) within that particular location.
Most locations are fairly easy to find. The clues are quite simple.
Drawing lines between the keys would appear to provide a map of the final location and ultimately the location of the buried treasure. Whatever that may be.
It is highly possible that sharing all my conclusions with you may cloud your own judgement and ultimately lead you astray. I believe its best that you look at each clue and form your own opinion. Thomas Richman was not an intellect of his age and wrote in a very basic way. Putting his life in context may offer the best chance of finally solving the riddle.
The clues written in italics are just as they appear in the book. The grammar, punctuation and spelling have in no way been changed. As a mystery within a mystery the clues have random numbers here and there. The meaning and nature have always been a mystery to me as Richman had never used them in his journals before genesis.
If you have any ideas as to the meaning of the numbers then please feel free to contact me through the guest book.
Thank you and good luck
