-* In a new [[Thelostgames.com#Podcasts|podcast]] [[Eli Hunt]] described the Omphalos Code, which was used as some kind of ancient "GPS".+* After finding [[The Secret]] of Eli's, and watching his [[Podcast/The Omphalos Code|podcast]] on the omphalos code, much studying is going in to map out the code system itself, a matrix of greek gods, representative images, and the zodiac

-** 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. +
-** On this [http://cura.free.fr/decem/10kengil.html site] the connection between Olympian Gods and zodiac is explained. There are several different systems. The system from "Manilius" fits perfectly to the information of Eli's podcast (Sagittarius - Artemis, Virgo - Demeter, Aries - Athena). In table 5 of the site the connection of zodiac to Roman Olympian Gods is shown. Table 2 of the site shows the duality of Roman and Greek Gods.+

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
Image:looktodelphi.jpg
  • 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)

  • 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.


Transcription...
  • There is an Omphalos Code in the book: 595 Trident 20
    • 595 Stadion are about 110 km
    • Trident --> Poseidon --> Pisces --> South --> 180 degree plus 20 degree offset --> 200 degree
    • Target point (?) is 110 km SSW of the starting point (?)

The Omphalos Code

  • After finding The Secret of Eli's, and watching his podcast on the omphalos code, much studying is going in to map out the code system itself, a matrix of greek gods, representative images, and the zodiac
  • Details can be found at 'Omphalos
