THIS IS THE TEXT AND HINTS FROM THE PREVIOUS PAGE
You open the vault, and as the sediment clears, on the other side of the small valley you are in, you see her clearly. It is Clodagh – and she is smiling. You have to retreat to the bell for air, and when you return, she is nowhere to be found.
Back on the surface, you have another phonograph cylinder to listen to.
“Congratulations Explorer. I have great news for you; these are the final coordinates for Atlantis. However, I will not be leading you straight there. At the final location, you will find one more message cache, but to open it you will have to first solve the map on the tablets. I have included an etching of a coin’s front and back to help with that as well. It will give you a six-letter word that will unlock the last bucket.
Here are the coordinates:
From Tanmar, with 90 degrees pointed south, travel at 93 degrees for about ninety to a hundred Atlantean leagues.
From this location, with 90 degrees pointed north, travel at 109 degrees for about seventy Atlantean leagues.
From this location, with 90 degrees pointed north, travel at 145 degrees for nearly a hundred Atlantean Leagues.
From that location, with 90 degrees pointing north, travel at 70 degrees for seventy Atlantean leagues.
Dive at this location.”

The password is “bacalao” – remember, this is the first part of your password, you need the final bucket code as well.
+ Hints for the Tablet / Last Bucket puzzle.
For this puzzle you will be finding the second half of the password using the four map (tablet) pieces, the ring etching from the website, the symbols/islands paper, and the Atlantean Ring paper.
+ Hint Two
Have you assembled the four parts of the map yet?
+ Hint Three
The etching of the coin ties the Atlantean Ring and the map together.
+ Hint Four
As you have probably noticed, the map has symbols that equal letters all over it. We can probably assume that we are going to have to move around this map to pick up certain symbols to convert them to letters. But how do we determine where to start and how to move?
+ Hint Five
One side of the coin says “start” and has a picture of an octopus head. Can you find that on the map? This will be are starting spot. Now how to move?
+ Hint Six
The border on the second side of the coin looks a lot like the Atlantean ring, right? In fact, we could find the three symbols on the Atlantean Ring in that particular order, couldn’t we?
+ Hint Seven
Notice on this side of the coin there are two words – start and move. Start has an arrow point at the clamshell in the middle.
+ Hint Eight
The same side of the coin another arrow that directs us to move counter-clockwise through the symbols.
+ Hint Nine
Did you notice that the symbols on the Atlantean Ring are the same as on the x and y axis of the map?
+ Hint Ten
If we know that we are going through the symbols on the ring, what if we matched them up with the map as well?
+ Hint Eleven
If we are starting at the octopus head, and the first move is clamshell, we look at the symbols on the map’s grid and see there is a column that are clamshells next to the octopus head on the right. This is our first move.
+ Hint Twelve
As we rotate the disk, we find that the next move is a starfish. Looking at the map again, we see that starfish is another move to the right. That is our second move. We can continue doing this for every symbol on the ring.
+ Hint Thirteen
Did you notice that some of the symbols have dark circles around them? Could this help us determine something?
+ Hint Fourteen
The first dark circled- symbol we come to is the octopus. To get there we went, clamshell, starfish, octopus (up). If we take the symbol that we are currently on, and check it against the islands list, we will see that this is the symbol for “d.” D is our first letter.
+ Hint Fifteen
Continue on until you run out of symbols to make moves from.
+ Hint Sixteen
The second letter is E.
+ Solution for the Tablet / Bucket puzzle.
The password is “depths” – remember, this is the second part of your password, you need the island name before this.
+ Solution for the entire password – Island name and code word from the Tablet / Last Bucket puzzle.
The password is “bacalaodepths” – remember, no password will have a capital letter or spaces.
