Larissa replied to a message I left in her forum, about Monica. She said she found the story strange but when she saw Monica's postcard, she immediately reminded of Renata, who used to colect cards and write on their backs - numbers and thigs that (apparently, she said) didn't make sense. She said she'll try to see if she can find one, but Renata used to keep all her stuff in a back pack always with her.

She also put another blog post but nothing new, just regurgiating the same questions we have. I'll translate tomorrow when I'll have some time.

Because I don't understand how "20" works on a 12-division circle, I've been playing around with the 595 Ψ 20 thing...

Sorry if there's a trout in here, but the fora search function (for "595") is failing me.

Has anyone found anything that might play into the following dates:

Code:
Olympiad Year Month      Day  Gregorian Date
595      1    Poseidon   20   01/14/1602 or 01/15/1602
595      1    Poseidon-2 20   02/13/1602 or 02/14/1602
595      2    Poseidon   20   02/02/1603 or 02/03/1603
595      3    Poseidon   20   01/22/1604 or 01/23/1604
595      4    Poseidon   20   01/10/1605 or 01/11/1605
595      4    Poseidon-2 20   02/09/1605 or 02/10/1605

Here is the Google translation in the meantime Smile

It may not yet know about Ariadne and the others. Renata also wrote on the back of postcards. Numbers and words that (apparently) had no meaning. I believe that both she and Jorge were trying to "pin-point" the location of the ring. This is so strange! Who is behind all this? Where is my friend?

My understanding is that the "20" is not related to the 12, but to the 360 degrees. Each of the 12 sections covers 30 degrees, so "20" is 20 degrees away from the starting zodiac sign.

I think we should try to get more info from Monica, like the location of the hidden part of the codex mentioned. There may be info in it to help us crack the secret node site.

I would like to know exactly what was written on the back of postcards and what places those postcards depict. I think this will help us understand better how to pin point the omphaloi (gateways) we are looking for.

Not exactly: the 20 refers to 20 degrees past (going clockwise) the specified zodiac sign, not the first zodiac sign (unless, you meant what I'm saying when you say "starting" zodiac sign). So 595 Ψ 20 means app. 110 km in a direction 20 degrees west of due south (Pisces).

BUT, where is the starting point???? I was thinking, maybe Delphi ("look to Delphi"), but I'm not certain of that at all.

I don't have the tools to figure it out exactly, but Tegea is app. 115 km S of Delphi, and Olympia is 117 km SW of Delphi (but the angles both seem wrong).

I already asked that to Larissa by email and on her forum, but she hasn't replied that.

Also, when I wrote to Monica asking for more info about the codex, she said she didn't know anything more about it. Maybe we could try different ways to refresh her memory.

El Multiverso

I wonder if this is some kind of hint, or just a typo. When searching for "find the lost ring" on youtube I got this sponsored link:

Monica email

Monica reply an email i've sent her about her uncle (asking for more details).

Quote:
Hola!
Estoy de vacaciones de Semana Santa así que no estoy en Madrid estos días, y no me tan fácil encontrar un sitio donde conectarme a interner. Smile

-Lo único que tengo de mi tío abuelo es la postal, pero puedo preguntar a mi familia por si me pudieran dar algo más.
-La casa donde él viviá aún existe, y sigue siendo propiedad de la familia. Está en el barrio de Argüelles, pero prefiero no darte la dirección exacta para que no se moleste a mi familia. Supongo que lo entenderás. Pero si se te ocurre cualquier cosa que pueda investigar, dímelo y aprovecharé para pasar y hacer una visita. Smile

Besos,
Mónica

Hello!
I'm in holly week vacations, so i'm not in madrid these days. I've some problems finding a place to get connected to the internet Smile
-The only artifact i have from my "Tio abuelo" is the postcard, but i can ask my family about something else they could give me.
-The house where he (Alfredo) lived is still there and my family is the owner. The house is in Arguelles neighbourhood, but i prefer not tell you the exact address to avoid problems with my family. I think you'll understand. But if you think that i can investigate about something else, just tell me and i will go there Smile
Kisses

Seismic activity? Interesting...refers back to one of Eli's video's and also this research from one of the forums, addressing the question of why the RUN GRAPH graph drops so sharply in 1815. in 1815 was the eruption of the Tambora volcano, which was the largest in history. The next largest was thousands of years ago and may have 'inspired the myth of Atlantis.'

Diego updated his blog right now (I was chatting with him, nothing relevant really, I was introducing myself because it was the first time we talked).

He gives us this link...

http://earth-daily.com/intense-seismic-activities-registered-in-ne-brazil/

... I can't say if the site is real or IG.

He recommended that we post in his forum, but it doesn't work for me, it keeps rejecting my user and password, and I know that they work.

EDIT: The site is real, or at least the terms don't mention "The Game"...

Yes, the news is real. There are other pages, e.g. http://macroworld.net/m/m.w?lp=GetStory&id=295933731

The message comes from XINHUA NEWS AGENCY.

And here another link with another text: http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/02/29/america/LA-GEN-Brazil-Quake.php
