Location: Library of Congress; Washington, D.C., USA Guide: Nancy Mumford, Senior Librarian Difficulty: Easy CONDITIONS Five Common Jewels (Diamonds, Emeralds, Fire Opal Skulls, Red Garnets, and Seashells) plus Gold Compasses LEVELS Level 3-1 Squares (Expert): 84 Locks (Expert): 6 (10) Expert Alterations: Locks Added on D1, E1, F1, and G1 Nancy’s Comments: “The Library of Congress houses a storied past. Established in 1800 in the Capitol Building, it was burned down a mere 14 years later by British troops. Volumes of historically important tomes were destroyed, and it takes my breath away to think about what may have been lost." Reward (Association): Lorraine Piece #3 (Ciril’s wife) Level 3-2 Squares (Expert): 94 (90) Locks (Expert): 10 Expert Alterations: C2, E2, G2, and I2 Omitted Nancy’s Comments: “This library adds nearly 10,000 new pieces to the collection every day. While that is, needless to say, impressive, it will make work here as a researcher that much more difficult. With so many new things to look through each day, you may never get to the critical literature about Moctezuma II and the Jewel Board.” Reward (Association): Albert Piece #1 (Ciril’s father) Level 3-3 Squares (Expert): 77 (73) Locks (Expert): 11 Expert Alterations: A2, E2, G2, K2 Omitted Nancy’s Comments: “Walk through the stacks, but please stay quiet! And no gum chewing! Though I stand here every day, I am often overcome by the immensity of knowledge housed here. From history books to genealogy charts to astronomy manuals and ancient artifacts, I’m sure you will find what you need."

Recently, a brash Frenchman spoke with us about temporarily housing what he referred to as a “Jewel Board” here. I wonder why this man wants only to make a temporary donation…” Reward (Association): Albert Piece #2 (Ciril’s father) Like if you enjoyed the video
