[PUZZLE] "Unlock the sound"(solved) & "Open the door"

[drizjr]

Many times the audio files were difficult to hear. We would struggle for days trying to transcribe them, and then they would be updated to a more audible version. I suspect that that weird sound on the nodes may have been changed as well.

DEAR TOM,

[schumi07]

[xwarp]

looks like the mystery of the text on the image might be solved thanks to a user on the CBS Jericho message board by the name of:

"Tippy Parview (beck78)"

[schumi07]

The quote is from a work by the Heraclitus of Ephesos

He was also known in his time as "the dark one" or "skoteinos"

Other observations:

• haptetai - greek for "kindle a light", "touch" or "contact"
  
• did search for "heraclitus cheyenne mayan" and came up with this article http://www.millersville.edu/~columbus/papers/schlesinger.html
  
• did search for "heraclitus alas babylon" - came up with interesting blog entry on war culture http://limitedinc.blogspot.com/2006_08_13_archive.html (have not gone through all the search results yet on this query, but may be of interest due to the similarity of "Jericho" to the book Alas, Babylon

Heraclitus of Ephesus (fl. 500-480 BC), also known as "the Riddler" and "the Obscure,"

well Heraclitus would be happy to know that Tom Tooman is following through with the nickname.

Great work unlocking the sound, Tippy Parview (beck78)! (link to Jericho Board solve)
I'm thinking that we have to apply something about Heraclitus' quote to open a door. Now where could that door be?

Just to throw out some ideas...

Could it be on AYAB? (There's the door the raven sits over)
or the Ravenwood login page
or maybe something to do with Green Door Development on the J&R site. (that page doesn't have much on it yet)

eta: or could it be something from the sacredhatcasino site, since that *is* the linked thread in the email.

Hi,

I'm totally new to this so forgive me if this is a really stupid comment but...

What struck me about that quote was "the sleeper" because that is the name of a poem by E.A. Poe and the AYAB site has scenes from The Raven on it. Probably nothing, I don't know.

Sorry, that was me. I didn't realize I wasn't logged in.

Maybe another letter count into a quote?
Watch for new radio traffic or changes?
Somehow use a count from the "itwillhappen" game? First card to the player or something over many games. Has anyone been able to count the cards prior to the shuffle? It seems different each time, is it covering different words, letters? There seems to be less than 20 cards (in the shuffle I mean) are some mssng?
The Poe tie in is interesting, good spotting PoshGirl
Must get back to work, no time for play. Happy Thanksgiving to all!!

I apologize for being so in and out of this ARG but happy to see our inititial suspicion about a Jericho connection has been substantiated.
That said, what door are we opening exactky?

mgelles, sorry for such a late reply to your question.
"Open the door" was part of the email the Jericho fans received. (link ). I suppose no one replied to your question sooner because it's not know exactly what door we're opening.
I suspect it's at the end of the itwillhappen trail... but
