The SOTA Evidence page displays the following text:

"FINDINGS- The message boards are still out on this piece. One of our members came across a website that also contains this symbol (206.16.223.65) but it's much to early to determine if this is valid evidence of Ancients. None the less, the supposed "alien" server is quite interesting. The quest for the truth about this image remains."

Yet, the Transmission Log does not contain the symbol at all.


Yup i already brought this up once but everyone managed to thoroughly ignore it. It was ignored because we stumbled onto the countdown first anyways but i cant see the glyph on that site.

 		note it says "it's much to early to determine if this is valid evidence of Ancients."


I say we wait.

It's not there. I think these SOTA folks are drinking laced Kool-Aid.

 		Ok, the Aldo diSorbo thing has got to be OOG. In the history link you'll find this line:
Quote:
In the year 2000, Aldo finalized official his new interface that received many acclaims from the open source community, and from his model, Linus Torvalds.


I don't think any character from a Microsoft funded ARG is gonna list Linus Torvalds as a role model.

As did I and a couple of other people. So join the club. We have T-Shirts Smile
Still bugs me that the symbols not there. I rationalized before that it was a timing issue because SotA wasn't fully in play yet. Now, after the protests... not so much.

The point is they are leading us in the right direction, but theres no definite proof why we are being led there by them. This might actually turn out to be an important point, or a huge oversight. But i think we are drifting too far away from the follow the signs, keeprs of the flame deal. Since we have no clue what the heck the glyph has to do with the countdown and the whole glyph on the halo3.com leading storyline page thing never went anywhere either.

Well if my crazy "glyph aligns perfectly with stonehenge" theory is right, we have a symbol that represents the summer solstice, and a countdown the ends on the summer solstice.

 		Kore is compiling a list of all currently formed hypotheses about the significance of two "independent" constructs (Transmission Log and possible overlap of the Glyph with Stonehenge) that point to a single day, namely June 21st. I believe we will become more coherent once that list is up.

Do we have a timeline on when these Transmission Log messages keep changing? I believe we had initially decided it to be 12 hour intervals, but now it seems sooner. Patterns?

Right. Here's what we know for certain:

The timer on the Transmission Log webpage ends on June 21st, 2007 and references "alignment."

The Summer Solstice, an astronomical alignment phenomenon, occurs on June 21st, 2007.

Stonehenge, mentioned by SOTA numerous times, is astronomically aligned to both North and South Solstice events.

The Antikythera mechanism, mentioned on the SOTA website as evidence of the Ancients, is a device used to calculate astronomical positions.

No doubt these are all linked. The common string is the solstice.

The only speculative element is that the glyph used by Adjutant Reflex and found in Africa by SOTA is representative of, or at least similar in design to Stonehenge, but at this point, I think it's a rather safe bet.

Transmission Log now refers to a "time to awareness". Something is awakening. Possibly the array itself, that AR is talking about. Possibly some additional entities, similar to AR, that manage some aspects of this "array"?

Hmm... As I was not one of the original beekeepers, it might be blasphemous for me to say this, but...

"Time to awareness" sorta reminds me of how it says COUNTDOWN TO WIDE AWAKE AND PHYSICAL: on the ILB homepage. Probably no connection, but I just thought I'd throw it out there.

 		Yeah i was about to post the same thing compared to ILB. Except this time we already seem to have an AI construct that is aware, so what the heck else is deciding to wake up?


Edit 1: I do agree that everything seems to be pointing to the summer solstice, its a particular alignment of the planet and the sun. Except, damn it i i didnt pay attention in my current astronomy classes, because if the planet positions it self consistently to the back ground starts then something like a directional beacon/signal might be used for some reason. Or maybe its the alignment of the planet and the sun, but i am only mentioning this because of the Marathon series.

 		Im sure this has been said but if we believe that AR is a monitor of the ark or the entire halo array created by the forerunners (ancients) we have to ask why would AR show up now. possibly AR is running system checks on the entire halo array kinda like the tornado siren tests we have here every first tuesday of the month in the midwest, or scanning for hostile life ie "flood." It makes sense that the forerunners might have installed a periodic check system for their halos...I dont know.. just grasping for straws and throwing out ideas.


edit: summer solstice being the test/activation date...
