Ok, well now I really want to know what the connection is for .63, how it officially links in... right now it's been pulled out of the blue, and seems to be one of two intended links to find .65 (the comic being the other)...

I think there's probably an ad going to be posted somewhere for SotA... like above, we found the comic before the weekend... perhaps the clue for SotA isn't actually out there yet.

And that SOTA site constantly says 'truth' all the time... I keep seeing tru7h Razz

If it's true that we've skipped ahead a bit then they may not wait for a print ad like the first one and we may here a direct 'clue' from AR just to confirm where we should be, hopefully all the major arg activity forums are being monitored (no pun intended) to look out for this sort of thing.

Looks like we are ahead of the game.
Someone at Bungie better be working over time on this. Laughing

sota has a link to .63, the comic also leads us to .63 we found the main site by brute force and chance, i think its a mistake since the comic should be leading us to .65

This is in the source of .65. I think it may be important, because it is rather out of place.

The fact that it says hidden really sparked my interest.

EDIT: Broke up that string a little, since it was stretching the forum to a ludicrous width ... to use it (somehow?), you may need to put it back together -xnbomb

One of our members came across a website that also contains this symbol


Does anyone else see the supposed symbol on the countdown site?

Perhaps the lack of one means that it will appear later, leading me to conclude that maybe the SOTA site was discovered early.

Can someone that's good with images try and pull out the background image of http://206.16.223.65/ and see if you turn up the brightness/contrast until we can see something?

Even jacking around with other image filters on that might be a good idea since the .63 site claims there's a picture of the symbol.... but I sure don't see it.

Me too. I've got a theory it might have been posted by the puppet masters to try and fix things after we found 65 early.

I viewed the source of all the pages. Couldn't find anything hidden, but there was something that uses cookies, probably just the page visit counter.

Seems odd that there are so many mistakes on these pages, a bit rushed because we are eating up every darn thing they give us maybe?

OK. So I googled "society of the ancients" and wikipedia, and came across a myspace page:

SOCIETY OF THE ANCIENTS, the final chapter
Current mood: excited
Category: Jobs, Work, Careers

Society of the Ancients

www.sota.com & www.societyoftheancients.com

up this weekend
right before the wave

*EARTH SHATTERING*
07/06/14 - major find in N.Afrcia that blows lid on all coverups, check back in for more info

the truth is surfacing, it's all becoming apparent!

Please upload pictures of forthcoming rallies & events

Intelligent alien life has visited Earth many times in the course of Human history. What's more, this alien intelligence has "helped" human development by giving us technological advancements at key points in our evolution.

More proof of the alien / human interaction can be found our website – www.societyoftheancients.com or www.SOTA.com

Our main message- Aliens are not a myth.

There is proof (check out the website) that aliens have visited Earth many times. In fact, we owe extraterrestrial visitors a debt of thanks for the advancements they have provided our species with.

Another important thing you should keep in mind is that the Society of the Ancients is not a cult. We are not an anti-government group, crackpot religious commune or Sci-Fi readers' circle. We are intelligent, contributing members of modern society.

Our purpose is to collect and pass on information that has led our members to this unique understanding about human history and its relationship to a gracious (and technically advanced) ancient alien race.

Things to consider in relation to our Ancient brethren-

Ockham's Razor - "All things being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the best one." This theorem is at the heart of SOTA thought.

The sudden rise and fall of ancient cultures

Waves of technological awakening that comes every few hundred years

Why did certain ancient cultures falter? Inca. Mayan. Aztec. The true question is how did they rise to power and knowledge so quickly?


What, and answer truly now, can be the simplest answer to these questions? Extra terrestrial helpers!

All pages from the Society of the Ancients site before it was pulled.

The site was pulled?


So I was told. Either way, we have all of it bundled in a nice package if it ever is. Very Happy

The cookie thing is just a page counter. There is a hidden one on the site that is prolly just for the admins to monitor how many of us are killing their servers. Smile

Someone at Bungie forums posted this link. http://206.16.223.63/sota_images/SOTA_membership.pdf

I tried to email the address and received the reply in the form of a returned, failed message.

Wow, I think my eyes are getting friction burns from all this reading. Also, brief sanity tip: hit ESC when viewing the 206.16.223.63 site to stop all page animations (refreshing the page starts them again).

Oh crap, might have jumped even further ahead.

The blog you found:

http://blog.myspace.com/averyfane

Has this link, which is the same site:

http://www.societyoftheancients.com/

This image from the blog:

http://home.comcast.net/~fresh27/cov2.jpg

[/img]

That's the covenant alphabet.

The funny thing? I found this same covenant alphabet image today while I was searching for covenant letters to see if they matched the writing on that UFO image.
