Looking through the JS for the sharing stuff on projectprometheus.com I found this:

Quote:

og:description" content="To celebrate fifty years of building better worlds, the Weyland Corporation is embarking on its boldest project yet. Visit http://www.ProjectPrometheus.com to learn more."
meta property="og:image" content="http://dev.evoke.la/var/Fox/Prometheus/projectprometheus/img/pp_sprite.gif"/

And if you visit http://dev.evoke.la/ -- it does seem to have a login of some sort and the word "Ferret" that mysteriously appears.
Ferret didn't work for me, though. Maybe it is just the company running this thing?

That just means for us to chat to figure it out, doesn't mean we have what we need already...

From the Facebook page..

"Anyone out there trying to crack the password on ProjectPrometheus.com? Leave a comment explaining what you've tried so that everyone can work together to figure it out!"

Those are the explorers' names. Holloway, David, Shaw, Ford, and Millburn. It is a 3d map of where they are in the tunnels. I think they arrangement there is pretty arbitrary and probably doesn't matter.

ok... this is the 'star map' im way too tired to look for common constellations, posting this up for others to try work out if they can see where this constellation is located. I've highlight the 6 that they overlay in a brighter white shade.

I think "edir" was meant to be "dir", as in, hinting that edir6equj5 should be used as a directory.
Then again that's very close to ediru...

Based on recent classified findings by Weyland researchers, the company determines the exact coordinates of a new destination for long-time pet project: Project Prometheus. New round of investment is immediately opened and mission planning enters full-swing.

Could the password be these co-ordinates?

Maybe the "recent classified findings" is the screenshot we unlocked. I can't find any secret messages behind it though. And about the Morse code. Didn't we only use the end of it? Everyone seemed to agree that it said edir6equj5. What is the edir part for?

Oh fuck... What if...?

Markings look suspiciously like Sumarian symbols as they become more cuneiform just after 3000 bc...

Another Sumarian reference

FWIW. On the PP password page, If you hold mouse button down and place the cursor at the bottom of the screen, the logo will scroll to the top of the screen.. looks like something is meant to go below it.. Not much I know, but it is there.

I'm focusing all my energy on figuring these symbols out and we're really hitting on something with the elemental numbers that have been mentioned before. So this, I think, is what we need to crack:

That last one really does seem to correlate with this symbol from Hellenic physics::

But I just can't get my head around the top image in the login screen. One other thing I will say is that the fact that Weyland lays out seven verticals (and why the word 'verticals') may have some kind of connection with the Seven Chakras. It's the only other place where I can find a list of seven relating to elements (plus my own interpretation of how they relate to the verticals, feel free to dispute them). They are:

Sahasrara (Crown): Thought/Space - CYBERNETICS
Aj�a (Third Eye): Light/Dark - SECURITY
Vishuddhi (Throat): Ether/Sound - ELECTRONICS
Anahata (Heart): Air - TRANSPORTATION
Manipura (Navel): Fire - ENERGY
Svadhisthana (Sacral): Water - HEALTH
Muladhara (Root): Earth - TERRAFORMING

lol, as opposed to facts that are'nt real?

Well yeah, they could've used made up names and stats, instead they went for real planets with real locations, which is pretty cool.
Also all this talk about rivers made me wonder if this could have anything to do with the Milky Way. I just gave it a try though, with several combinations, nothing worked:

Milky Way
milky way
milkyway
etc.

If only there was a Sumerian name for it:

Edit: Nevermind, just found it. It's EN.LIL (http://www.lexiline.com/lexiline/lexi249.htm), but it doesn't work with any combination either.
