I am working on certain elements of mystery for my current novel, and I've come up with a cryptogram for the protagonists to solve. I want to post it to the forum to see if anyone can derive the correct answer. The first person to post the correct answer will receive a free signed copy of my first novel.
The context is that government investigators find the cryptogram written in a journal, and have to determine whether or not it is just nonsense, or if there is a hidden meaning. There are two pages of cryptograms, recreated here. I think it's pretty tough, but it would not surprise me if someone here gets it right.
Following this line, this is what the protagonists see on page one:
183693878
Two and then a space. Two and then a point. Together they dance, past the pivot into the distant past.
BT57WD78UZ
One and then a space. Two and then a point. Together they dance, past the pivot into the distant past.
TI24XF35KA
Two and then a space. Two and then a point. Together one is the pivot, and the other the focus to come.
CS59PLH7GY
One and then a space. Two and then a point. Together one is the pivot, and the other the focus to come.

And on page two:
23188926
One who was a king, less bright than his queen.
WE63CD58PM
One who was the music or the instrument that played it.
QR47SF22IE
A cart or a beast, or the beast that pulls the cart to some.
AT18GI36JZ
A beast not seen by modern eyes, coiled around those familiar.

There are several stages required to arrive at the final answer. If someone gets part of the way there, I will post a clue on how to get to the next stage. Good luck, and have fun!
