[RING] The Six Travelers

I have been trying to work out the timeline of the "6 Travelers," based on the hints that we've gotten so far:

1888: Jorge appears in Stuartfield, Scotland

1888: Within the year, Jorge goes to Madrid, discovers the meaning of his tattoo, and returns to London [Monica's uncle grandfather is 6 yrs old]

1889+: It takes more than a year for the 6 to find each other.

1891: The Travelers begin working on how to get home. [From 1918 letter: "We've taken 27 years" in order to find our way."]

[1894: Pierre de Coubertin publicizes his plans to revive the Olympic Games. This apparently inspires the Travelers.]

1903: Jorge + the other 5 return to Madrid, tell the uncle about the Codex [15 years after he left; uncle grandfather is 21 years old]

1916-1918: The Travelers train in athletic synchronization.

1918: The 6 travelers write their message about how they've found a way home (Note: this is written in Antwerp on Nov. 11, almost exactly two years before the Antwerp closing ceremonies)

1920: The Travelers plan a "synchronizing event."

So I'm not sure all these dates make complete sense yet. I assume that the Travelers were 'successful' in 1920 to get home? How much of the Codex could they have written (and hidden!) in 1903 if they were still working on it for another 15 years after that? Where did they go between 1888 and 1903?

ALSO, should we be guessing at the Travelers' strengths?

Some possible clues, from http://olympics.wikibruce.com/Codex-1Ap1#English

Jorge: has the "plan for good luck to change history"
Micha: is haunted by the sights of broken worlds
Rakhee: calculated the way home
Akira: has a map to show the way
Jules: has a theory of athletic synchronization

That just leaves Kelly, who I'm guessing is the person writing the document.

Jorge's 6....

I guess we are using this to discuss Jorge and his group in more detail.

Great!

Just a reminder of the translation of the word below the labyrinth on their tattoo's....

The ancient Greek word myein originally meant "to close (eyes or mouth)", and later came to mean "to initiate into the Mysteries"

Which presumably coincided with the closing ceremonies for the 1920 Olympics... just as we are expected to save the world on August 24, 2008, the date of the closing ceremonies for the 2008 Olympics.

[SPEC]Anyone else think that we'll be running through labyrinths in six locations all over the world on August 24?[/SPEC]

Couldn't hurt. Wild guesses:
