[not trying to anger anyone]
If you are really desperate to know the answer, we inscribed it on a black,rectangular solid monolith which can be found in the Olduvai Gorge , Tanzania.-sher

why am I doing horribly on this question? there's been so many hints I feel bad.
We cannot understand why nobody else has solved this
You were all told that each glyph/pic represented a number of stars and even told you that
Sirius
was 2
This meant that in the final question you had to fill in these gaps
??.?? -???.? to give you the co-ordinates for the final destination then swim East for 1k
So really what is the problem?
it's just a game you know

Well, in my defense, I really thought it would be a couple of months, not a couple of years.
And the winners are:
All of the rewards have been paid out. This has been a blast. A PDF document with answers will be posted as soon as I finish creating it. It may take a couple of days before this is done, so stay tuned.
To be fair I also thought it would be a couple of months, not a couple of years.-sher
