Is this "the secret"?

• Revealed by Eli Hunt on March 11th by email
• Located at: http://164.109.150.213
• The site is multi-lingual
• The longer the page is viewed, the more dots appear to fly in and land at various places (populated areas?) on earth's continents, on a transparent rotating world.
• The look of the earth after some time seems similar to the satellite image of the earth at night (lights showing populated areas).
• Occasionally, red or green dots can be seen on the map.

The Command Line

FYI: This command line prompt emulates a common unix or linux command shell.

The following commands have been determined to be valid, in some form.

• AGONOTHETAI

Please authenticate agonothetai.
ID required: agonocode and biostat

• AUTHENTICATE

Please enter agonothetai codes and biometrics.

• BONJOUR

Bonjour. Vous avez été authentifié en tant que 000.000.000.001
Veuillez authentifier l'angonothetai.

• CD (folder) ("CD .." to move up a level)

change the current directory

• CLEAR

Clears screen of previously entered commands

• CLOCK

displays a clock counter in 24hr format, local time

• CLOSE

removes the command line and returns to the globe, but does not clear the session history (same as EXIT and QUIT)

• CODEX

Currently transmitting omphalos navigation sites...
Green = active navigation site.
Red = pending navigation site.
Enter active navigation site for codex location.

• EXIT

removes the command line and returns to the globe, but does not clear the session history (same as CLOSE and QUIT)

• FIND

asks for authentication

• FINDTHELOSTRING

does the same thing as FIND

• HALLO

Hallo. Sie wurden als u. 000,000,000,001 authentifiziert.
Bitte authentifizieren die agonothetai.

• HELLO

Hello.  You have been authenticated as u. 000,000,000,001.  Please verify agonathetai.

• HISTORY

shows the user a list of commands they've previously entered for that session.

• HOLA

Le han authenticado como 000.000.000.001
Authentique por favor el agonothetai.

• LS

you see the contents of the current directory.

• MAN (keyword) see below

asks you what page of the manual you would like to view.

• MKDIR (keyword)

with no keyword, says "directory ...," with keyword usually says "KEYWORD: File exists."

• MV (source target)

MV alone returns "source target;" providing a source and target (e.g., MV FILE1 FILE2) returns "rename FILE1 to FILE2: No such file or directory"

• OPEN (filename)

for example "OPEN 1896.INF"

shows you the contents of the file

• PWD

Print Working Directory. Will show you path of folder you are currently in.

• RM

ask for target file

• QUIT

removes the command line and returns to the globe, but does not clear the session history (same as CLOSE and EXIT)

• RUN

asks for target (most things like RUN <ANYTHING> return "Target <ANYTHING> was not found" -- one exception is RUN GLOBE, which just returns the prompt)

• SLEEP n (n is any number)

put the interface to sleep for n seconds

• TERMS

brings up a language menu to popup the terms of use

• TIME

you see local time (from your PC data)

Attributes:

• Dikaiosune (should be Ariadne)

You bring leadership, direction, and focus to our mission.
You will be one of our pilots.

• Mythopoeia (Diego)

You bring optimism, vision, and artistry to our mission.

You will be one of our connectors.

• (Insert any of the 6 attributes here except for Dikaiosune)696 (eg "SOFIA696")

Incomplete Agonothetai ID.  Please include biostats. Correct login form:
strength#/R r.finger length in cm/RHR in bpm

Attribute Puzzle

The system response to "(attribute)696" indicates a step must be taken to complete the command prompt - "Incomplete Agonothetai ID".

• Each of the six are asked for their right ring finger length, and resting heart rate in order to complete the command...
