Timeline
(in chronological order)
February 12
- Ariadne Wakes up in a labyrinth carved out of a corn field in South Africa.
February 29
- Packages began arriving numerous people in many countries, including the reference to Findthelostring.com, which showed the text:
Ariadne... hang in there, my guys are working on the site as we speak!
I had to call in a lot of favors to get something built so quickly... but trust me, you're going to love it, it's exactly what you need. I'll get the guys to work all weekend on it, it should be up first thing Monday morning. Get the video ready, I'm sure someone will recognize you... -- Kai
March 3
- Ariadne is found on Findthelostring.com (which went live today)
- Ariadne posts a blog: Meet Kai
- Ariadne posts a blog: How I got here (Part I)
- Ariadne posts a blog: How I got here (Part II)
- Ariadne posts a blog: The strange dream I keep having - what does it mean?
- Ariadne posts a blog: The weirdest goggles ever
- Ariadne posts a blog: The weirdest tattoo ever
- Ariadne posts a blog: Where I woke up
- Ariadne posts a blog: Hello, world. I need your help.
- A video blog where Ariadne explains her situation. Key points: After waking up blindfolded in a corn field (a labyrinth) just outside Johannesburg, doctors say she has - Functional Focal Retrograde Amnesia. She has a tattoo on her arm that reads "trovu la ringon perditan", Esperanto for "find the lost ring". There's absolutely no leads as to her identity or history, friends or family. She's in top physical condition, that of an 'olympic champion'.
- Markus is found via a flickr photo quoting his tattoo, which leads to his profile.
- Meihui is found via a truveo video
- Diego is found on Hi5, as well as his google video
- Noriko is found on youtube, and her blog that links to it
- Markus PMs via Flickr:
- Vielen Dank für Ihre Hilfe. Sie sind die erste Person die mir irgendwie helfen konnte...
- Kennen sie mich vielleicht? Komme ich Ihnen bekannt vor? Und wie wissen sie das es Esperanto ist das an meinem Arm tätowiert ist?!
- Translation:
- Many thanks for your help. They are the first person to me anyhow could help...
- Do they know me maybe? Do I seem to you famously? And how do they know Esperanto is in my arm is tattooed?!
- Ariadne replied to an email from enaxor:
- hi -------,
- this is really overwhelming.
- on one hand I'm really happy to have some people actually talking to me and helping me. it's been a lonely couple of weeks here in Joburg by myself. and seeing other people in similar situations gives me hope that someone will know what the heck happened to us.
- on the other hand, it sounds like no one really knows who we are still, and that's the main thing on my mind. I feel like I must have family somewhere, right? why haven't they found me? aren't they looking for me?
- anyway. i'm just babbling because it's been awhile since i had someone to talk to, besides kai, and he is kind of busy with his own stuff.
- the labyrinth... it's just a normal labyrinth, but a big one. i think there were like 11 loops around it. it took forever to wander out. i looked at markus' photos and the shape seems similar but the one i was in was huge, much much bigger...
- you're so nice to be helping me even though you don't recognize me.
- i'm very overwhelmed, can you tell?? 5 of us??
- one of them sent me an email already, and I wrote back.... (see below) it's lucky because i seem to understand some spanish, so maybe diego and i will be able to help each other. but german? japanese? chinese? i am pretty sure i don't speak them AT ALL. like, even less than i speak esperanto. which at least now I know 4 words in.

- Diego replied to an email from redhatty:
- Hola --------, gracias por contactarme y ayudarme! Me contacté con Ariadne, todavía no puedo creer que haya otros en mi misma situación!
- Respondo: estoy en Buenos Aires ahora, al despertar tenía una venda negra tapandome los ojos, joggings negros y una remera blanca.
- Gracias por la ayuda, espero sirvan de algo mis respuestas para desentrañar este misterio, realmente lo necesito!
- Translation:
- Hello --------, thanks for contacting me and helping me! I contacted myself with Ariadne, I cannot believe yet let should be others in my same situation!
- I answer: I am in Buenos Aires now, to the awakening it had a black blindfold wrapping the eyes up, joggings blacks and a white rower.
- Thanks for the help, I hope that they should serve of something my responses to unravel this mystery, really I need it!
- Markus replied to an email from HitsHerMark:
- Ja! Wie wussten sie das denn?! Ich hatte eine Blinde um den Kopf - ich konnte überhaupt nichts sehen als ich erstmals im Irrgarten erwachte!
- Ansonsten trug ich weisse Shorts und ein weisses, enges T-Shirt. Ich hoffe, das hilft ihnen irgendwie weiter. Sie haben keine Ahnung, wie dankbar ich für ihre Hilfe bin.
- Translation:
- Yes! How did they do it? I had a blind to the Head - I could see absolutely nothing when I first Awoke in the maze!
- Otherwise, I wore white shorts and a white, narrow T-shirt. I hope this helps them somehow. You Have no idea how grateful I am for their help.
- Markus replied to an email from chippy:
- Die Seite haben mir ein paar Leute gezeigt, ich finde es echt toll das so viele Leute probieren mir zu helfen.
- Finden sie es nicht wahnsinnig, das es andere Leute gibt die die gleiche Tätowierung wie ich tragen und in genau den gleichen Umständen aufgetaucht sind wie ich? Ich kann es immer noch nicht so ganz glauben...
- Vielen Dank für Ihre Email, ich wunder mich, haben sie vielleicht irgend etwas ungewöhnliches am 12 Februar gesehen da sie in der Nähe von mir wohnen?
- Translation:
- The site gave me a couple of people demonstrated, I think it's really great that so many people try to help me.
- Find it not insane that it gives other people the same tattoo as I bear in exactly the same circumstances as I appeared? I still can not quite believe ...
- Thank you for your email, I wonder myself, so maybe something unusual on Feb. 12 seen as they near me live?
- Ariadne sent an email to redhatty:
- hi --------, good news!
- well, big good news and little bad news, but I'm more excited about the good news than i am annoyed by the bad news.
- so even though i have no idea who all those people you found are, i am convinced of course that we have to join forces. i mean, clearly we are connected somehow by our weird circumstances... and kai is going to redo my site so everyone can have their own blogs and we can all do this investigation together!

- sorry, i'm typing really fast as i try to sort this all out.
- anyway Kai took down the site to try to help get the other pages going, i though your friend might like to know i haven't disappeared entirely,
- kai thought they might not be up for a few more days, sigh, that's the small annoying bad news, but whatever! i can't believe how much information you guys have found in just half a day! you're amazing!
- i think already i will be grateful to you all for life. sorry to gush, i'm in a very strange mood right now.

- Hola Riquardo, muchas gracias por tu ayuda! Al despertar tenía unavenda (negra) tapandome los ojos, unos joggings negros y una remerablanca. Crees que las ropas puedan significar algo o dar alguna pistasobre quien soy? Muchas gracias por ayudarme!!
- Rough translation:

- I've had several dreams of patterns that repeat themselves... different figures that show repeatedly, curves, lines, pattern... it is something very abstract ... Does it have to do with my past?
- Ariadne answered celina about shoes she was wearing when she awoke:
