Mélange of FF Thinking

A bunch of small wonderings from the chapter

I wanted to take a step back (e.g., a 36000 foot view) and consider the range of things in Chapter XXIV that have me wondering about the clue and puzzle structure of this treasure’s solution. The olive jar, the 3+ paragraphs about a sea-faring treasure hunter fantasy, and the attention to the Tairona necklace are just a few of those raising my “Spidey senses”.
