Beyond the "THEGENESISCONSPIRACYCOM", I have no clue what to reply with.
I want to find a puzzle in this, but it's looking more and more like there isn't any.

Anybody recognise the Maya/Toltec/Aztec? Calendar Wheel as maybe an exhibit, somewhere, with a location we could relay back to Chrisopher?

The numbers

1011010110110101101 from the picture

is, I think

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The Golden String

"The golden string is 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 ...
a sequence of 0s and 1s that is closely related to the Fibonacci numbers and the golden section."

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/9349/recursion.html and http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/9349/rabbit.mid Have some good examples too. The second link is a creepy, frantic sounding midi file of the Golden String or Rabbit Sequence being played with what sounds like a xylophone, harpsichord, or synthesizer. I don't know my instruments though.


I don't know what that will tell you though.[/spoiler]

The calendar is of Inca origin I believe.

I'm thinking the calendar is Aztec:

The photograph below is the Aztec Calendar, on display at the Museo Nacional de Antropologia in Mexico City, Mexico.

Very similar. But not the same. The Aztec calendar was in use by other, earlier cultures in various forms.

And all the sites keep mixing them up on me. Like this one where they're all authoratative on the Mayan calendar and then post a big picture of the Aztec sun stone.

Yeah, I keep getting that one too, with the sun God in the center rather than the skull type one. Making me nuts. Bang Head

But we should also let him know about the measurement info found a few pages back.

I am pretty sure there was a reference to the golden chain as well in the book, unfortunately my MIL borrowed it from y husband when I wasn't home.......

Is that grounds for divorce you think?

Uh, I don't know if this is of any relevance/importance at all but the email seems to be hinting at the Bible.

When Lot left Sodom (I think it was Sodom), his wife turned and looked back at the town. She was turned into a pillar of salt.
The Bible story doesn't really mention anything about multiple people being turned into salt, just Lot's wife, as far as I know.

and ignore this if it really doesn't tie into what ya'll are trying to figure out Embarassed

Though I take that into consideration, I have to remain skeptical, since it was obvious that they wanted us to go to thegenesisconspiracy.com. So unless they threw out a wayy too obvious clue to hide a smaller clue, I think the content is irrelevant.

The overall text of the new message seems to suggest we've missed something from very early on in the game, as those of you who've read the book were saying about one of the magic squares.
