New post up, basically saying 1-2-3-4 was a hint towards http://followthecards.com/1-2-3-4.html and that we need to find four cards from a deck so secret we wont be able to find it on google, hidden in four major cities near four major monuments.
An idea I've been entertaining for a while but didn't seem important enough to share until now - 1-2-3-4 makes 10, the sacred tetrys. The Wheel of Fortune is card 10, so maybe that's related? Possibly the London Eye? Just a thought I wanted to get down.

Could "acronym" be a reference to the "G.A.T.E." acronym?
Not sure what 118 is referring to...

Yaha, phenexfirf. Maybe your asking Winter again will yield new info. Have only got Psalm 118: "This is the gate of the Lord through which the righteous may enter".
OT-more dental work maņana so am not feeling very cluey atm.

So, I did email Winter again asking her about if G.A.T.E. acronym was related to the "acronym" post and she responded:

I thought about that myself but still don't have the faintest idea what it could mean. Not sure how 118 on the G.A.T.E. website relates either. I've been wracking my brain to think of what there might be 118 of, but I still haven't a clue.
Interesting, in that I wasn't even considering 118 to be a quantity of something. I am guessing that is a nudge in the right direction.

!Super-duper phenexfirf! My brain and jaw are recovering now and those 4 pics when perceived provide the Pergamum PW solve:
acronym PW
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
PW is "agam". fwiw those pics relate to: astronomy, geometry, algebra (or arithmetic), music

Nice one, amandel. I couldn't figure out what that second picture was for...
So, the next step is to email Winter the first location which is "an ancient location relating to the first picture".
My first thought is:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Stonehenge. An ancient location related to Astronomy.

Excellent work! I have a friend who lives about an hour away from there, in Oxford. I'll have to poke around to see if she can find anymore clues.
Now we wait and see...

There is a new footer on the G.A.T.E. home page.

Right off the bat, I notice that:

these numbers are all squares. If you get the square root, it becomes: 23-1-20-5-18-5-12-5-13-5-14-20
Which, then translates to:

In addition, there is a new password-protected post on the Pergamum Blog with the title/clue "Tour".
I am not sure what that means yet.

Whoops. Yeah. Forgot that the code result should actually be used as the password. Thanks, Amandel!

So many Props to phenexfirf I needed to post 'em twice. And apologies for not seeing your "solve" post. My bad!
