Rereading Hank's post struck a thought I had.. We have a way to get the next Nest's location if we have the arrows!

Different volcanic reactions create different kinds of obsidian, no two eruptions are alike but you could make several artifacts from the same batch of obsidian.
This fact makes Obsidian just like a volcanic finger print, you can trace them back to a specific time and place of an eruption, no two eruptions are alike.
Though you could make several artifacts from the same batch of obsidian.
This has been used to trace before to trace where Native American Arrow heads were made from, and the routes of trade and travel.
"Each volcano and in some cases each volcanic eruption produces a distinguishable type of obsidian, making it possible for archaeologists to trace the origins of a particular artifact. Similar tracing techniques have allowed obsidian to be identified in Greece also as coming from Melos, Nisyros or Yiali, islands in the Aegean Sea. Obsidian cores and blades were traded great distances inland from the coast." 1
Hank mentions arrows in his post.
From Hank's post.. "She’s hunting for the arrows of Obsidius" 2
Geologists are pretty nerdy, they'd have documented each and every volcanic eruption that they could have gotten their mitts on.
This anomaly is a rare case, if you are able to get you hands on the artifact, the Arrows, you could get it traced to an exact location.
you find the volcano that they're made from, you're in the general location of the Nest that the arrows would activate.
So Yik Sheng Lee and Hank Johnson , I hope that this helps!

Allen Tanner these do not have to be of Roman origin. The region in question right now is what was called Judea in the day of the Roman Empire.

ReplyDelete"By about 13,000 years ago a distinct settled culture, known as Natufian, had emerged in the Jordan Rift Valley and the surrounding hills. Its people built homes with stone floors, sunk into the earth and roofed with wood and brush. They cooked on hearths inside their houses, and stored food in baskets and animal skins. They made blades from flint and obsidian, hunted with bows and arrows, and carved bone into awls and barbed hooks."
Not sure where the source was of the obsidian used in that part of the ancient Middle East, but definitely it was in use.
ReplyDeletePersonally I just love the idea of a SECRET VOLCANO LAIR. Hank will need to get a white cat.
Ah, actually, reading more over that article, it says that obsidian in the ancient Middle East mostly came from the Anatolian mountains, on the southeastern border of modern Turkey.
ReplyDeleteAlso, 13k years ago is long enough that it precedes the exile of the N'zeer -- so it's possible we're talking about a proto-Anti-Magnus nest, and N'zeer-inspired artifacts. (Though I suspect this would pre-date the formation of the 13-Magnus and Anti-Magnus as organizations recognizing themselves under cognate names.)
ReplyDeletehere's some more info on obsidian
