 		[SPEC] Greek Letters in AYAB Title?
Okay, now that I'm back on track with this game. I decided to do a little investigating. And so, the AYAB site intrigued me the most. Well looking at the slides closely in paint, I wondered if I could find anything strange if I flipped it upside down. And so I did. While looknig closely at the images, I noticed something very odd...

The letters of areyouaborder.com...when flipped upside down...oddly resemble greek letters. So i popped out a chart for the greek alphabet and translated. This is an extremely rough translation, but this is what I got:

eflorthiolelh.

And for the page with the crow flying with the eyeball you get:

eleeflorthiolelh.

not sure what either means. But it isn't Rot...I tried it...


Not sure if I'm just looking waaaaaay to far into it. But I thought it might be worth a shot. Wink

 		I'm failing to see this at all, could you maybe attach a pic to point them out? Sounds interesting...

 		Again, I'm probably looking way too far into this. But here's the title upside down and a link to wikipedia with the greek alpha bet. Again it is an extremely rough translation that I posted earlier.



here is a link to wikipedia with the greek alphabet...

 		(double post, sorry)

I've been trying to get a good comparison picture. It's really difficult, so You'll need to wait a while before I can get it all together. Sorry...


EDIT sweet! I got the comparison! Btw, I got some of the letters in my translation completely wrong. I'll try to revise later.





What do you think?

 		Ummm....

So what you're saying is that our alphabet turned upside down resembles the Greek alphabet? Yeah, I think that they did that with this game in mind about 2500 years ago Wink

Seriously though, I'm really not seeing anything there, in fact, the only letter clearly jumping out is the y which is obviously similar to a lambda, but a lot of other letters just don't look like anything from the Greek alphabet at all imho...

 		It was speculation to keep things going. I'm just grabbin at straws until you guys find something new. I told you that i was probably looking waaay too far into this. But I thought it might be worth a try.
