There should be a lead here if the website shows /245409 or /eridu then those sb the leads to work with, and if not then fox's team is not playing fair.
That's a good point, and yes, I mentioned in the Facebook page that the way they placed those "clues" was too vague and while things seemed to match, it didn't lead us anywhere. At this point I'm very frustrated with it since we keep digging things, putting clues so others can follow the trails and helping to develop ideas, but it's like they're laughing at us and there could not be a password at all.
Sure, that could probably not be the case considering the way we found out about the /eridu/ directory (the ONLY breakthrough so far, and it was days ago), someone posted a screenshot w/ the labeled pictograms and I was like "what if I put /eridu as a directory? It's the only pictogram that stays on top of the rest and sumerians were crazy about alien gods anyway", and it worked, but it was just a wild guess. Maybe they should throw us a real bone here, I just realized I had already checked Merope's wiki page before someone mentioned it because of the Pleiades due to Phaeton and other greek gods, which means we've been circling around the same names and ideas over and over and over...
well said. I've been reading and re reading all the info you guys have compiled in previous posts and I'm just coming full circle.
it's as if all of it is the lore and "facts" to back up the prometheus mission, but none of it leads to a password.

Rabbit Trails and Aliens
A bit of a Rabbit Trail I guess, but we should get it out of the way so that we can find and follow other dead ends. So here is where I went with the following:
At www.projectprometheus.com I viewed the source code for clues. And found none that I could see.
At www.projectprometheus.com/245409 and www.projectprometheus.com/eridu I viewed the source code and found, as others have, a link in the meta data of the head section. See below:
It seems that the Project Prometheus site is being hosted on Apache/2.2.3 (centos) server at dev.evoke.la port 80 *Note, I'm not an IT guy, so I may be wrong about the server thing.
So the website www.dev.evoke.la is a bit of a mystery. The sites main page is a login user/password dialog box. When you move your cursor over the area above the login dialog box, a hidden word appears under your cursor. The word is "FERRET".
Clicking on the word will take you to another page on the site, which looks just like the page you were last on. Except for the added word in the URL address box. The website address now reads www.dev.evoke.la/lab
So what is the .la designation? Wikipedia states that .la is the Internet country code top-level domain for Laos. And is also used for Los Angeles and Latin America.
The LA Names Corporation, based in Guernsey, has gained the rights to market .la registrations.
So, who or what is Guernsey? Guernsey is a British Crown dependency in the English Channel off the coast of Normandy. Famously known for their cows…that's right, cows!
Particularly Guernsey Cows. Wasn't Daisy the Cow a Guernsey cow? She sure was.
Before I digress any further…a wikipedia check of Guernsey turns up a few carrots.
Not that they are any good, but still a lead is a lead.
Click on the Guernsey "History" link and read down to the following link sculpted menhirs. From there you can view some of the Guernsey Stones, as well as other ancient stone pillar carvings. Not sure if any of the information provide by me and wikipedia is
Relavent to our password search. But I needed to play it out to be sure. One less lead/carrot we have worry about.
Someone else on this site may see it a different way and that's fine. If you can find a clue in what I have provided, then you rule!
As a web design student, I know that the green wording in the source code is not visible on the viewer's screen. The green text is known as comment text. The text is put there by the person or persons who are coding the site. Sort of like a post-it note. The notes are sometimes placed in the coding to help whoever is writing or reading the code, to understand or remember what they did or should be done next with the coding. Sometimes they are private inside jokes to fellow coders…or site visitors that get a little too curious. I've seen a comment code that says, "What Are You Looking At?" To which I reply…"Comment Code!"

Jon Spaihts replies with: "@Kuato_lives | Nope. Fake. Entertainingly, the character "Shaw" wasn't named Shaw in my drafts. It's the only character name that changed."
So yeah, as if it wasn't clear by the awful grammar and concept mistakes (Astrology? seriously), the script is fake.
Edit: He also said two things that are still in his timeline:
1.- The script he wrote was named "Untitled Alien prequel" (Damon Lindelof added to it and it became Prometheus later)
2.- The character David has always been named David, not "Davis". as it appears in that "leaked script".

Awesome! Let's see if we can narrow down this list to anything that may relate to the ARG.

That's just dummy text, CuriousCat87. Some developer forgot to remove it when he should, it's just there to simulate real text.
About the two login pages, http://www.projectprometheus.com/eridu/ and http://www.projectprometheus.com/245409/. Obviously this is speculation on my side, but I'm pretty sure the login page we actually should use is the /eridu directory. Why? Because that's the only one out of the two that shares the Google Analytics code with the root site, http://www.projectprometheus.com, check the code and look for "UA-20019600-25", it's there in both sections, and not in the /245409. Usually they place the Google Analytics code in specific sections or pages to track the players' progress, since it tells them when the users started accessing certain pages and at what rate. It probably bears no real significance to them that people found the links to http://www.projectprometheus.com/245409/ since they placed them in an almost blatant way, but they clearly wanted to know when people accessed /eridu/ since it was hidden and using clues from the UK trailer.
Again, this is merely speculation but the more I think about it in terms of ARG, it works.

Whats next
So all these ideas and no leads?
I posted this back on the 18th
Quote:
Well not knowing if we will be receiving a investor email soon, I tried a few codes:
0560-09797
isle of skye
Eilean a' Cheò
david
david 5
David 8
559 7996
eagle nebula
m16
Pillars of Creation
LV-426
Zeta 2
Archeron
Acheron
If we are supposed to find a special passcode via the info we got recently I am not sure. I was thinking it may be related to
Quote:
"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."
I have compared the Video pattern to at least 5 different areas around Orion I have looked through the pillars and all over zeta 2 and found matching patterns. I have entered coordinates, dates, patent numbers and mythological names. I have typed in codes from the trailers.
There should be a lead here if the website shows /245409 or /eridu then those sb the leads to work with, and if not then fox's team is not playing fair.
But as we all know we can take those leads to expansive places Nibiru, Betty hill stuff you guys and gals ever read Terra Papers - Hidden History of Planet Earth Heh this one is pretty interesting and way too relative. "Story of Man's Creation" .....but i digress
I said it a few days ago but maybe its time to blow up twitter and FB and start asking if anyone of these theories are on the vapor trail as it were. I'd hate to start using my account but maybe they have forced Jane to make her first tweet
At this rate I am sure we have collaboratively entered thousands of answers, without knowing what direction to take this seems..a bit..rude on the PM's end.

I find it interesting that "7" keeps popping up. A lot.
7 Kingdoms
7 Sisters
7 different branches of Weyland Industries.

Hi,
Not sure if it helps, but I was interested in the entry on the timeline immediately below the 'Project Prometheus' one, that states that all products and solutions have been integrated into 7 verticals.
Here are, as far as I can see, the number of entries with patent numbers for each of the verticals:
The 22nd April is Earth Day (which might tie in with that 'it's closer than you think' statement if it's legit), but I've no idea of the relevance of 2011's Earth Day.
A quick google for SETI and 22/04/2011 shows that the Alien Telescope Array was shut down on that date due to lack of funding, which is interesting but probably not very relevant.
I've tried the most immediate passwords (earth day, 22042011) but no luck so far.

Do we know if @UK_Prometheus is official?
They are using the hashtag #areyouseeingthis and have tweeted the picture of the Pleiades that IcedMetal posted earlier saying 'It's closer than you think...', so my hunch is that there's a clue actually within the trailer (supposing it is official) somewhere around that point.
Or I could be going insane after trying every word I can think of in relation to Greek mythology to try and get into that damn-ded database...
Anyone overlapped the original star map from the film onto the pleiades just to see if they map out at all? Im in work at the mo so only got access to online photoshop apps and they are failing bad
