Real,
Are the Jesuits the only ones credited with using this/these techniques, or were others using it also? I believe that possibility arises in the Peralta-Ruth map after visiting an area of interest re guarding the LDM. Wouldn't it be possible to incorporate only some parts of the map with those characteristics? The next question is what parts?

Dustcap,

In short, yes. The Jesuits were the only ones who have been found to have used coded messages like that. While it is possible other Orders did, there is just no incriminating evidence for it.

Mike,

Can you tell us where we can find the "incriminating evidence" for Jesuits using a "mirror image, upside down...."?

Thanks,

Joe

Just a note for anyone trying to track down that Sleeping Lady Squaw story, it is also known as the Black Princess, Sleeping Squaw, etc a lost gold mine somewhere near Arivaca in the Cerro Colorado. The map referred to, as poor as it is, is more likely to apply to that lost mine legend than the Sleeping Lady rock formation you can see from the highway west of Globe.

Joe,

The incriminating evidence wasn't in using the upside down mirror image but just to do with writing in code in general.

I have sent that to you previously via email, but here is a link to start:

.......... and for those that think the passage means they wrote letters in Vulgate Latin, it has been four years now since I first asked, and as of yet NOBODY has been able to show me a letter from this period (1608-1767) from a Jesuit Missionary Priest in Northern Mexico to a superior written in Latin. There are several places where we can view online scans of so many of those letters. Nothing in Latin.

HI Dust: you posted -->Are the Jesuits the only ones credited with using this/these techniques, or were others using it also?

********************
Obviously not, but they are credited with this technique. As for partial useage, Yes, I have a map of the Tayopa Area in which they did just this.
It involves a large sun which I finally found after a few years of scratching my head. Even the Indians in the area don't know of it, plus a mules head looking at one of the closed portales.
