"The Secret"

1 "The Secret"

Is this "the secret"?

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.

Standard commands

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 FINDTHELOSTRING	Asks for authentication
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	List the contents of the current directory.
MAN (keyword) (see below)	With no keyword, 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)	(eg "OPEN 1896.INF") displays the contents of the file
PWD	Print Working Directory. Will show you path of folder you are currently in.
RM	Asks 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 (escape cancels sleep)
TERMS	Brings up a language menu to popup the terms of use
TIME	Displays the local time (from your PC data)

Attribute commands

DIKAIOSUNE	(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 truth-finders.
THUMOS	(Markus)	You bring courage, energy and determination to our mission. You will be one of our adventurers.
SOPHROSUNE	(Noriko)	You bring balance, self-control and an open mind to our mission. You will be one of our advisers.
SOFIA	(Mei Hui)	You bring wisdom, creativity and cleverness to our mission. You will be one of our knowledge-seekers.
CHARITON	(Lucie)	You bring heart, humanity and charm to our mission. You will be one of our connectors.
(ATTRIBUTE)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...

Athlete	Agonothetai ID	Response
Markus	THUMOS696/8.1/54	Thumos696 is active.
MeiHui	SOFIA696/6.6/54	Sofia696 is active.
Diego	MYTHOPOEIA696/7.7/52	Mythopoeia696 is active.
Noriko	SOPHROSUNE696/7.1/56	Sophrosune696 is active.
Lucie	CHARITON696/7.4/54	Chariton696 is active
Ariadne	DIKAIOSUNE696/6.8/48	Dikaiosune696 is active

After activating all six, nothing noticable happened

Omphalos commands (red/green Dots)

red and green dots are occasionally seen fly in to land at point on the globe.
The locations have some significance.
Red dots are inactive omphaloi
Green dots are apparently locations of omphaloi that have been activated.
Unidentified red/green dot location (very rough approximations):

Denmark/Germany? (red) - (Denmark Attempts - List of cities attempted - feel free to add)
Bangladesh/India? (red) -

The Omphaloi have been determined to give vectos to the locations of special artifacts (see Artifacts for contents of each location)
