Identify this:

[FBI parte due]

It's a monument to the Zulu dead in the battle of Isandhlwana. Not exactly fair, admittedly, since I spent last semester writing huge essays about Shaka Zulu's effects on uncolonized Southern Africa for some guy from Malawi.

As far as the meaning of the monument, beyond that, your guess is as good as mine.

 

[Gagh]

This should explain it.

I quite like it.

 

[Conchaga]

Aww... I was gonna spend the time to research this.

 

[Archibald Nixon]

Identify the character + the artist/writer.

 

[Conchaga]

Fantomah, By Fletcher Hanks.

 

[Conchaga]

I'll come up with something soon. I promise.

 

[Conchaga]

Identify these four locations. You must get them all to move on.

Here's your hints. They are all in Italy. All photos were taken by me.

 

[Conchaga]

Bonus points if you can figure out why the flowers are on the fourth one.

 

[Dual]

3 is Venice, Piazza San Marco?

1 looks to be an airport or train station. Milan?

 

[Conchaga]

No, and no.

 

[Conchaga]

I realize that without the coloration on the third one, it would make it nearly impossible. However, it's probably the most unique stone paving I've ever seen. It definitely stands out. So, to help, here's a different angle with color.

Someone died?

 

[missmanners]

A Pope died?

:fiddle:
mm

 

[Conchaga]

No John Paul II was still alive when that was taken.

 

[Archibald Nixon]

A total stab...were the flowers for the earthquake victims in Assisi?

(Beautiful town...I was there in '91 and got to see the cathedral before the quake destroyed most of the frescoes)

No, the flowers weren't for the Earthquake victims.

After making that statement, I'm shocked you haven't gotten one of these yet. GIANT HINT!

 

[Archibald Nixon]

I was probably in each of the different cities in your pics for maybe a day apiece.

Giant hint, hm? I'm afraid I'm still flailing a bit. Is this one:

...the paved area outside the Assisi basilica?

Or possibly part of La mattonata?

 

[Archibald Nixon]

As for the flowers...can you give us a year?

 

[Conchaga]

Well, if you identify where the flowers are, that'll be your biggest hint.

 

[Archibald Nixon]

Working on that, but this:

...is in the Vatican Museum in Rome.
