It has been suggested here, I think a few pages back...

But, most people see it as just another play on the 13th....


A coincidence?....

I guess we'll have to wait and see....

Yeah, that was back on page 2. I think it's a possibility, but the art and mood feel different. We'll have to wait and see, of course, but there are probably lots of things out there doing something with regard to the Friday the 13th. The references to "the end" and the countdown are intriguing, though.

Greek Letters

I think the only intriguing thing about the gibberish is that it employs 13 different characters. It has this in common with "ra nnra koldaaj, jal hasya adjnak ny nukvad", which does appear to be something.

I'm trying different Caeser shifts to see if I can make the greek/gibberish look like the mystery text, but it doesn't seem to work. There are hardly any 2 or 3 letter words in the greek/gibberish, for example.

So I agree, it's probably gibberish.

I Guess the Number 13 is a common point for a lot of the parts of this puzzle, such as the number of unique characters in both of the mystery texts, the date it's happening on, and - if this is linked to the SOUE Book - The Book's release date and number.

We should look for more 13s popping up around the place

Why do you think the eye watching/looking at us is a reptilian eye and not a human eye?

In the video reedit, the missile is very obviously expunged. So the earth being destroyed is probably a metaphor, or at least coming from some other source, perhaps an asteroid or comet. But likely not alien.

Or it could be an internal source, like a nuclear war or even a mega disaster like a supervolcano eruption.

However it seems to me that what Yshklanti is saying is that life on Earth will change dramatically, ie., TEOTWAWKI, regardless of the source.

But why a reptilian eye? Pardon the pun, but this seems to be a very overlooked clue.

I suspect there are a lot of folks lurking in on this thread.

I am not familiar with the initals "ARG". Very cool following this uncertain about if it is a Game or prelude to an "End Game"

Curious if the Mods here might know if in fact a crap load of people are lurking or not. It could just be my own personal excitement. Never come accross something quite like this.


ARG?

[molecularr]

Just a theory, but my first thought on the eye (which I think does look reptilian) was this weird essay I read last week about Anunnaki. Someone earlier alluded to the ancient astronauts idea and Zecharia Sitchin in order to explain the wing-like shapes on either side of the eye as Sumerian winged gods.

So this is a general theory, but I'm thinking that wherever this is headed, it may have to do with ancient astronauts. That essay I linked to mentions suffering on earth -- somewhat absurdly, the author claims that since Annunaki introduced suffering on earth, and since there is still suffering, the Annunaki must still be here. Yshk is mentioning a lot of anguish, suffering, confusion and so forth, so that might be an association.

Eye

[Zazaban]

See? I told you it was SOUE!

I think that 7468656e64 might be a number code for Lemony Snicket..... try to see if it translates into anything.

I would agree with the SOUE Theory, but this all just seems too serious and well done to be done for those books.

They're fun reads, but this just isn't the style you'd expect - plus, last time there was a new SOUE book, they did a little viral puzzle thingy for that, and that puzzle was much more in the right style, and it made for sense for the books.

Re: Eye

[Atom_Force]

I'm with you molecularr, it definitley seems to have an association with the Sumerian culture. The Annunaki were the "ones who came from the sky" and actually, now that I think of it, this YSHK LANTI language MAY NOT EVEN BE CODE!!!!

It could be a fictional language designed for the game.

I did however learn alot about all the different types of Ciphers, trying each and every one of them to try to decode it. It put a hurting on my sleep! I believe I went to bed yesterday at 8:00 am finally.

Either way, it has my attention, and I'm still pumped about the 13th.
