$1,000,000 problem :: Riemann :: Riemann's Landscape  
         
     

Riemann discovered how to combine prime numbers and imaginary numbers to create a landscape above this two dimensional map of the imaginary numbers. Riemann discovered that the topography of this landscape holds the secrets to the primes.

Riemann’s imaginary landscape actually lives in 4-dimesional space. This is a shadow of his landscape.

Find out the landmarks in this landscape that hold the secrets to the primes
