It has been theorized that the amulet contains location-based information that can be used to unlock the next clue. You can decode this information by doing the following:

Each side of the amulet represents a different location. Attempt to decode one side at a time.

Numbers that occupy EVEN positions in the array represent LATITUDE (North / South)

Numbers that occupy ODD positions in the array represent LONGITUDE (East / West)

Add up all numbers in all EVEN positions in an array to compute a LATITUDE value.

Add up all numbers in all ODD positions in an array to compute a LONGITUDE value.

The letters on the front and back of the amulet represent the direction (N for North, W for West and E for East)

Put this information into a Google Map search like this: 100.0000N, 50.0000E - you should be taken to a famous landmark from the ancient world.

A) Where does the front of the amulet point (all caps):
B) Where does the back of the amulet point (25 characters, all caps):
