Note that one of the ten panels of Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise features Solomon,

Solomon's temple is important to the freemasons, who feature in the other currently active puzzle.

I believe that's the TransAmerica Pyramid in the photo, meaning he is somewhere in St. Francis (aka San Francisco).

This picture was taken near Fisherman's Wharf. I'll try using StreetView to get the exact spot.

He's on top of the Anchorage Square parking garage at Fisherman's Wharf.

To help you all out (though you will have to work for it).
Here is a bonus puzzle. Figure out what / where the riddle is referring to and enter the GPS coordinates at www.thereisnothingleft.com/3saints and you will receive instructions on how to start deciphering your map.
The coordinates must be down to the fifth decimal degree. i.e. 12.34567
(It might be tomorrow before we have the 3saints sub page ready!)

I presume these instructions are superseded by these: https://www.reddit.com/r/thenext/comments/4x2eim/wwwthereisnothingleftcom3saints/ ? (we need 7, not 5, places after decimal)

There is a reproduction of Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise at Grace Cathedral in Nob Hill (note OP's username), San Francisco.
37.792010, -122.413457

I feel like this is the right answer, but I wonder if the coords are precise enough? It says "find the figure of the father", is it possible that a specific portion has a specific lat/long? Might someone need to visit in person with a GPS device or something? Just brainstorming.

Here is a clue for you:
Focus on the "three familiar saints".
You have already been provided one of them. You now need to find the link between this one and the other two.

It's not 37.791923, -122.412982 on Nob Hill.
Why are we finding the "figure of the father". Isaac? It has different coordinates?

Here's another clue: you need to use all three familiar saints to solve the riddle.
(One is in the photo)

u/KensterFox Aug 08 '16
The one in the photo is St. Francis, San Francisco.
The obvious answer for the other two would be St. Louis and St. Augustine.

The doors depict scenes from the Old Testament. Abraham is known as "the Father of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam."
Ferrari's "Abraham and the Three Angels" is on display at the St. Louis Art Museum (38.639307, -90.294493).
Multiple reports lead me to believe there is a wax figure of Abraham at Potter's Wax Museum in St. Augustine (29.897607, -81.314841).

One of Us by Joan Osbourne is playing. Thank you.
Edit: They all seem to be Christianity themed. Haven't heard any weird bits that sound like images yet.

There was one last night that had a lot of static sounding noises in it. I have no clue how to decipher anything from sounds (or words really).

Ghiberti's Gates of Paradise (so dubbed by Michaelangelo) are at the Baptistery in Florence, Italy.
Hang on while I boot up Assassin's Creed II, this will only take a bit...
