6 athletic attributes
On the second podcast from Eli Hunt the six attributes of an athlete are mentioned:
- sofia = wisdom
- thumos = courage
- chariton = charm
- dikaiosune = leadership
- sophrosune = temperence
- mythopeia = storytelling
The 6 amnesiacs suddenly "remember" names:
- Mei Hui = sofia696 (see video)
- Markus = thumos696 (see blog entry)
- Noriko = sophrosune696 (see video)
- Diego = mythopoeia696 (see video)
- Lucie = chariton696
The number 696 is a reference that 2008 is in the 696th olympiad (= 4 years) since the first olympiad (776 BC).
Thelostring.com video I
- On the thelostring site a video is shown, having some interesting "hidden" information. (Caps from the video)
- Several text snippets could be seen, leading to: When you ready to receive data look to delphi
- The following cap has been identified as Bryant Park, NY
- The Code:
- Some attempts have been made to decipher (1) the blurry Greek letters (2) the meaning.
- The following have been suggested, mostly places:
Athena
Olumpia (Olympia)
Th bai (Thebes, missing e)Thermopulai (Thermopylae)
leusis (Eleusis, missing E)
pidauros (Epidauros, missing E)Argos
lis (Elis, missing E)
Tegea
- Map of the identified cities
Eli podcast pictures
- There are several pictures from the Eli podcasts, which still need translation/interpretation.
- To avoid redundant information, the pictures could be found with the respective podcasts
Monica and the story of 1888
- Monica wrote an email to Diego in which she said the same story happened many years ago. Three images have been attached to the email, one showing the backside of a postcard.
- Translates to coordinates (where the former 6 athletes have been?)
- we are here 40.4167, -3.7033 (-->MADRID - Sol metro srtation)
- and here 51.4646, -0.1705 (-->LONDON - Clapham Junction railroad station)
- and here 55.6763, 12.5681 (-->COPENHAGEN - Looks like this might be a bus station?)
- and here 42.3589, -71.0568 (-->BOSTON - State subway station)
- and here 43.6702, -79.3868 (-->TORONTO - Bloor Yonge subway station)
- and here -22.9035, -43.2096 (-->RIO DE JANEIRO)
- Monica sent a scan of the book she showed in the video

The Omphalos Code
- In a new podcast Eli Hunt described the Omphalos Code, which was used as some kind of ancient "GPS".
- The code is always "first number - visual symbol - second number"
- First number: distance in Stadion (Each stadium is equal to 184.9 meters
- visual symbol: rough heading. Imagine zodiac circle with virgo to the north.
- Second number (1-30): fine heading. Each zodiac represents a section of 30 degree. So this gives an additional offset.
- The visual symbol includes one redirection. A symbol for one of the Olympic Gods is used. This god is again ascociated to the zodiac.
- N (0-29) - Virgo - Demeter - (from Podcast)
- NNE (30-59) - Libra
- NEE (60-89) - Scorpio
- E (90-119) - Sagittarius - Artemis - bow and arrow (from Podcast)
- SEE (120-149) - Capricorn
- SSE (150-179) - Aquarius
- S (180-209) - Pisces
- SSW (210-239) - Aries - Athena - Wheat (from Podcast quiz)
- SWW (240-269) - Taurus
- W (270-299) - Gemini
- NWW (300-329) - Cancer
- NNW (330-359) - Leo
