It looks like there is a gird in the photo of the airport.( stl.la/revolutionaries ) I don't have the programs to process images. The grid seems to white and spaced regularly, but it could just be an artifact.

I assume the airport puzzle has reached its end - at least Stella mentioned someting like this.
No cooments anymore at the clip puzzle on Stella's Blog. Strange. Maybe people just posted the answer.

The comments on the Google blog seem to come and go. I thought I saw a comment saying that someone solved it, but now it's gone.
anyway, this is the new puzzle image:

The blog post also says
"It's not what you see... BOOM."
Which makes me think, It's what you hear.
The first letter of each line's symbol is "ksomosomss"
Phonetically, it sounds like "Que somos" in Spanish.
The repeated symbols remind me of an echo, which relates to boom.

I think it could be music. There are 12 notes on the chromatic scale. Something about the tribe donates its position on that scale. The last four in a column could represent a whole note. The two 2-column are half-notes and the singles before all that are quarter notes. Maybe. Very rusty on sheet music. That could mean we're looking for the name a the piece it is from.

convo challenge part solve of the newest challange?
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Due to the hint in the text it should be three code resistor code (digit, digit, multiplier):
12000000
76000
45000
130
78
3.0 (only if last would be gold; if silver than 0.3 which leads not to a nice sum!)
0.98
0.02
Sums up to:
12121212
Nice number but now I am stuck
and still no idea about yesterdays puzzle
*edited to correct an mistake

AUZ505, how did you get to those numbers? I'm not sure what you mean by "code resistor code (digit, digit, multiplier)".

Oh, electrical resistors, I get it now. That's awesome, but it is very odd that it doesn't quite work out to 12121212. I wonder what's up with that 3rd from the bottom one being "wrong"?
If anyone's coming later, the correct numbers add up to 12121209.3 - which doesn't seem to mean anything.

convo challenge new hint from stella:
"Sometimes, when I can't quite reach my goal, I meditate on the answer."
I am meditating. My mantra is 12121212
I wonder what she wants to tell us?
That we do not reach the goal could mean that we indeed do not reach the nice number (and the missing 2.7 are meaningful) or that we do not reach the solution phrase?

I inferred that to mean that:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Since the unit of electrical resistance is the Ohm, this is like the mediation mantra "ommm"
I don't know if there's anything more to it.
EDIT: and I still don't know what the solution was for the previous one about "Suddenly it goes…BOOM!"
EDIT2:
Okay just like that, after reading again through the hints in the comments, I managed to get through both challenges. Read spoiler only if you want to know:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
for CLIP: The answer is stl.la/1812overture
The "BOOM" was a hint to the cannon fire sequence, and the disks correspond to the musical notes in the most famous bit.
for CONVO: The answer is stl.la/12121212ohms
Thanks for all the work of those figuring out the 12121212 resistor part. Stella's nudge indicated that the 'ohms' bit should be appended.

Nice solves
clip: now i hear, I had the correct melody. But how should someone find the title????
convo: soooo easy, damned

In the video titled "What are you waiting for?" on the ancient societies website towards the end Stella reaches out to turn off the camera. For a couple frames you can see a symbol on her wrist. I took a screenshot of the symbol.
Does anyone think this is relevant?

Could it be related to the numbers in the calling in the book (page 38 )? Doesn't look exactly like any of them, though.

I checked the symbols on page 38 as well as any of the symbols that have been showing up in pictures between chapters. It's close to some of the symbols on page 38 but not exactly. Do we know who the actress is that plays Stella? We could see if this is a tattoo of her own or added for Endgame.
