Scurvy treasure hunt

[JellyJoe]

Yarrr, looks like Andy is taking tha right step but in tha wrong direction, by tha thousand hungry hammerheads!
One things ye say o' tha Virgin be rite, wrong tha place tho. Tha ol' Tor 'lready mentioneth be, ye has to move to tha land yeth champion o' tha fair king be from.

 

[markh]

ye be talkin' bout Basilica of Saint Anne in Jerusalem... arggh, 'tis beyond St. Stephen's gate... It be the birthplace of ye virgin Mary...

 

[JellyJoe]

Interesting, but nay, that'd be too far back in time. Rem 'tis "Our Lady o' tha monks".
Seeks tha land where ye squire's champion cometh from.

TRANSLATION FOR THE AAARRGGHH IMPAIRED:
Let your two paintings love one another and tell me the name of the king.

"And did Those Feet in ancient time, walk upon England's pastures green?"


Thy name seeked by ye ol' Cap'n Jelly be that o' the king of kings, Jesus Christ

 

[JellyJoe]

Nay, not that King. Ye has to put together tha pieces n build a house o' cards.

"Our Lady o' tha monks".
Seeks tha land where ye squire's champion cometh from.

Remember ye's to tell me a name and a reason. A name only be not enough.

The portraits be of Glastonbury Tor and the birthplace of Mary (most say Jerusalum). The connection between the two? The apocryphal story (which inspired William Blake's poem) that a young Jesus, accompanied by his uncle Joseph of Arimathea, travelled to the area that is now Glastonbury. Joseph later returned with the chalice, or holy grail, sought/protected by King Arthur and the Roundtable. Joseph concealed the Holy Chalice at a spring at the foot of the Tor (now the Chalice Well). Both Arthur's and Guinevere’s bodies were supposedly interred at the Tor, as well.

Still no cigar, matey?

Me likes tha explanation fer 'tis deep n showeth both history n myth knowledge, but 'tis far from tha solution me lad.
Ye has to understand ye portraits. Seek all tha answers n tha pictures will come clear.

u guys really are insane ;P

Ye barnacle crusted raggeth lass, speaks as ye shoulds or ye dance fer me on tha plank, join tha quest n a treasure ye might conquer. N by tha thousand sharks fishbones, no ma'am me knows o' can live without jewels.

"Eadweard the eldest who lasteth so little killeth on the spot, ye ancient time calendar, Avalon's waters kept in a mug.

What portrait is this?

Our Lady o' the monks, tha mountain o' sand, walls pointing at God sittin on tunnels o' magic occult.

Put on tha side ye clue ye discover'd n search n inquire fer ye tha others to guess.

Stonehenge? Waters of Bath? Wine? Elfrida? I know more about these people than I do my own family but can't.... put...........pieces...........together........... . AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

Stonehenge be tha first answer n 'tis rite, but what clue go's fer tha ol' Dolmen place? And what is the meanin' o' the spare hints?

Keep goin' fer ye appear to be on tha rite path.
N every lads, take advantage n shoot out thy answers, build up da portraits n learn out from' em.

Aaaarrrrggghhh... the third clue to the first portrait be the Holy thorn of Glastonbury?

Finally ye got it, ol mouldy bilge kipper.
Glastonbury Tor 'tis.
Now ye ready to pass on to tha second portrait.

 

[andygt]

tis the second clue where the dreddy rogue Marleys place to be like a lion be?

 

[relayman]

Arg, Barker be right ye worthless salt. Yet, here I be a drift on the bounding main. Not a clue as to **** we be. :wacko:

 

[JellyJoe]

tis the second clue where the dreddy rogue Marleys place to be like a lion be?

Avast me laddies, get around!
Ye has to try n put tha pieces together, by tha hundred whale tales or ye makes no sense at all.
Ye first 3 clues cleareth be 'lready. But what be tha 1st portrait?
Fer tha second portrait me said 'lready to seeks in tha land tha squire king's best champion cometh from. Our Lady o' the monks, tha mountain o' sand be there. Tha walls pointing at God sittin on tunnels o' magic occult be south in tha land of art. A place o' great magic and walls built upon it.
Remember tha treasure be found with compass n map, or ye won't have a clue where n what to seeks.

ye mountain 'o sand be Dune du Pilat, Aquitaine, France? land 'o art be France matey?

 

[JellyJoe]

ye mountain 'o sand be Dune du Pilat, Aquitaine, France? land 'o art be France matey?

Ye's right 'bout tha mountain o' sand, 'tis tha Dune de Pilat, me's impressed ye got 'nother clue. Tha 2nd o' tha second portrait.
But land o' art be not France me laddie. Through ye centuries art always be thought to spread from one land.

 

[markh]

ye refers to origins of art... that be Ethiopia me captain... or be that too many moons ago?

 

[JellyJoe]

ye refers to origins of art... that be Ethiopia me captain... or be that too many moons ago?

By far too many Neptunes. And Neptune has a cycle o' 164 years, if ye see tha point.
Not where art be born, but where art be incredibly present fer density o' churches, fountains, frescos and architecture in generals, arrrgh.

 

[markh]

arggghhhhh... methinks that helpeth...

 

[9postguy]

'tis here

Oh Cap'n my Cap'n, it takes much time to find to work on 'tis problm.

Methinks portrait first be that of Henry II, whilst the portrait sec'nd be that of Eleanor of Aquitaine. Whilst bump'ng uglies they begat Richard the Lionheart, he of the Plantagenet's who runneth off to the Crusades, fought wit Knight Templars, and spoke mostly French and knew little English tho' was King of England.

 

[JellyJoe]

Blimey! 'Tis a great answer with great reasons, me gives ye that....
Ne'ertheless 'tis a wrong one. As far from solution as Tortuga barmaids from being untouched argh, if ye see aherm.. me point, matey.
But keeps goin' ye has to try more n get new hints.
