1888 Olympic Games

There was supposed to be the first International Olympic Games, and The 1888 Olympics focussed on the agro-industrial contests. The athletic contests of the 1888 games were silently cancelled.

On the Hellenic Calendar, the 8th day is sacred to Poseidon. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attic_calendar) The Olympic games opening ceremony is on the 8th of June of this the 696the Olympiad.

Another good reference: http://www.numachi.com/~ccount/hmepa/Notes.html

So, we know now what the tattoo means... the tattoo is a direction expressed in the Omphalos code.

EDIT: Damn... victor was faster Razz. Maybe we got to center in Delphi... as the trailers say...

Trident is the symbol of Poseidon (as we know). Poseidon corresponds with Pisces. So, using the video, 100 degrees SW?

I would say 20 degrees in the direction in Piscis which is South...

That would be SSW... and the distance is around 1100 Kilometers.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

EDIT = Sorry, wrong Math. 110 Kilometers.

1100 Kilometers seems a bit far to me, I thought it was 110 Kilometers, but I suck at math.

OK, we have the TO where...
We need the from where?

Monica said that Jorge went to london when he understood the meaning of the tatoo... Do we have to think that Jorge use the code from london to... X place?

I don't think so. The podcast said that the stones were used in Greece to form the network. I think they went from a certain stone in Greece, found something important, which eventually led them to London.

Seems like the starting place would be the point where he woke up, in Stuartfield, Scotland. The labyrinth is part of the tattoo too.

trident is the symbol of Poseidon or Neptune
but I think the zodiac is aquarius not pisces
so 20 degrees south east
that would fit from stuartfield to london
but 595 = 110km not

I'd bet my socks that the omphalos used for Jorge's tattoo's coordinates is the one in Delphi.

[spec] that's assuming that we're using them in a traditional sense. Suppose that it's simply using the coordinate measuring system, but using a diffent 'starting point'. e.g. the labrynths. This makes it a bit more global.

The code on the stone indicated the direction to go from that stone. So it could be that their directions are sending them from the place where they started, that is, the labyrinth where they woke up.

At the very least, I think that's what the tattoo of Monica's Maze Man was telling him.

EDIT: Trouting myself, Weezel got there first. Smile
