X was invented by the French mathematician Édouard Lucas in 1883. There is a legend about an Indian temple which contains a large room with three time-worn posts in it surrounded by 64 golden plates. Brahmin priests, acting out the command of an ancient prophecy, have been moving these disks, since that time. Therefore X is also named after Brahma. According to the legend, when the last move is completed, the world will end. It is not clear whether Lucas invented this legend or was inspired by it.
There are many variations on this legend. For instance, in some tellings, the temple is a monastery and the priests are monks. The temple or monastery may be said to be in different parts of the world — including _________, and may be associated with any religion. In some versions, other elements are introduced, such as the fact that the tower was created at the beginning of the world, or that the priests or monks may make only one move per day. Some also claim that X was named for the building in the picture.
Identify X.

The following are the attempts made to figure out the hidden meaning of this particular piece of “a great puzzle”…
A description of the medieval 'Great' or 'Old Custom' wool tax of 1275, which survived until the fifteenth century. Contrary to some commentaries, this tax did not involve the collection of one-third to the king, and one-third to the church, but a less punitive sum of 6s 8d to the Crown per sack, about 5 per cent of the value. This theory also depends on it surviving unrecorded and even unmentioned in extant texts for hundreds of years.
It is connected to the slave trade. This explanation was advanced during debates over political correctness, but scholars agree that it has no basis in fact. The adjective that offers pretext of slave trade was modified to many other adjectives like “sad, happy, pink and hopping”

X is the founder and chairman of this nonprofit organization named NUMA aiming at preserving maritime heritage.
X claims that NUMA discovered, among other shipwrecks, the Confederate submarine Hunley. This claim is disputed by underwater archaeologist E. Lee Spence who first reported finding it in 1970 The first expedition to dig into the site and bring back videographic evidence was the 1994/1995 SCIAA/NUMA H.L. Hunley expedition, directed by underwater archaeologist Dr. Mark M. Newell. That was largely financed by X, thus his claim to have discovered it. Based on sworn statements by Dr. Newell, that expedition relied, at least to some extent, on Spence's maps of his earlier work. The dive team that took the video was led by diver Ralph Wilbanks who is on NUMA's Board of Directors.
Important finds by X's N.U.M.A. include
§ The Carpathia. The ship famed for being the first to come to the aid of Titanic survivors.
§ The Mary Celeste. The famed ghost ship that was found abandoned with cargo intact. (The identification of this wreck as the Mary Celestehas since been disputed.)
