The key is
| zqq.vorntuvr,oso.npvwuvup#rv.vwvwwrts,p.qqqrvruv#pt.otrrnqus,zvn.outrnovw#sq.spsqoruw,zp.pounnpvs#qu.swvoopun,opt.wpwwnwuw#rp.wvsttuvp,zvv.nvrnnnvr#sp.srqtsovp,oq.qrtqusvw#sq.ownrwnuq,s.wqnpvsuv#sq.swqrrwuo,w.wvnrqtvr#qr.ouqsvsup,zoou.vvrrvtuq#ro.swnoopvq,zwq.tpuoppvn#so.rowrrqvs,zn.ovsrntwn#zqv.nurtrnwn,orp.pwvuouut#ss.tvrtwutw,op.sotousqq |
In the long string in the key, copy the whole thing in MS word, replace all # with ^p (enter), you will get this.
zqq.vorntuvr, oso.npvwuvup
rv.vwvwwrts, p.qqqrvruv
pt.otrrnqus, zvn.outrnovw
sq.spsqoruw, zp.pounnpvs
qu.swvoopun, opt.wpwwnwuw
rp.wvsttuvp, zvv.nvrnnnvr
sp.srqtsovp, oq.qrtqusvw
sq .ownrwnuq, s.wqnpvsuv
sq.swqrrwuo, w.wvnrqtvr
qr.ouqsvsup, zoou.vvrrvtuq
ro.swnoopvq, zwq.tpuoppvn
so.rowrrqvs, zn.ovsrntwn
zqv.npwvtwot, twwotworp
So, the comma separated values make them look like GPS location coordinates in the form of Latitudes and Longitudes!
Now, look very carefully.
Only the letters n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w and z are used. If we make it like,
| n | 0 |
| o | 1 |
| p | 2 |
| q | 3 |
| r | 4 |
| s | 5 |
| t | 6 |
| u | 7 |
| v | 8 |
| w | 9 |
| z | – |
Now convert it accordingly by replacing them in MS word (Ctrl + H), you will see these coordinates.

Put these 14 coordinates into Google Earth, you will get the shapes of some Buildings, Rivers, Roads that look like English Alphabets!
Put them according to the corresponding coordinates and you get
-33.81406784,151.02897872 = T
48.89899465,2.33348478 = H
26.16440375, -80.17640189 = I
53.52531479, -2.21700285 = R
37.59811270,126.92990979 = T
42.98566782, -88.08400084 = E
52.54365182,13.34637589 = E
53.19049073,5.93028578 = N

55.68469769,12.51617533 = U
THIRTEENINZULU
Surely, this looks like THIRTEEN is to be translated in Zulu! Let us go to Google Translator and put the word thirteen there, and in Zulu we get:
ishumi nantathu
This time, we move to the first part, where the instruction was “Decode this: glyiuajjpbnjjcviwydarpbeilrygstmfmednfrhtu“
This is a vigenère cipher. In this site, https://www.dcode.fr/vigenere-cipher we will decode this long phrase with the key: ishumi nantathu and you get:
ytroiswjcinqcinqpersepoliskeyamsterdamroma
Put some space inside the words,
y trois wj cinq cinq persepolis key amsterdam roma
In French language,
trois = 3
cinq = 5
key = 13
amsterdam = 4
roma = r
Convert this accordingly and you get
y3wj55persepolis13ar
