And look for a "second hint"

...because AUZ505 does not really believe in the actual speculation rgarding chapter content and location, like "the chapter is about a story and found in a library" Smile

Bing!

I can't wait to see photos of the pickup. Smile

One translation:

Chapter 15

The Prophecy


The possible danger of Neopangaea, when the five come together, is well known across the many worlds.

But in this Gaea-world, we don't have the right to talk about the danger – or about the solution. Instead, we will show it.

Sometimes, the best way to a keep a secret is in the clear sight of others.

Today, ancient wisdom is being kept in the most modern symbol.

As soon as you have precisely spaced the continents, it would be ideal to circle each continent and then to attach small arrows showing the direction of the move (the joining of the continents). The circles would have to appear as 'diagramaj'* circles, and we do NOT want the circles to be connected, as in the Olympic Symbol. The circles would have to be further apart than in the Olympics symbol. Five circles in the same 3 x 2 form, but not connected in any way.

In the future,
the world comes together,
except that today,
the world comes together.

*I'm not sure how to translate this. 'Diagramo' is graph paper, but this is a plural and an adjective. I'm gonna go with 'circles on a diagram/graph'. Maybe it means graphical?

The olympic flag is a warning?

In the future,
the world comes together, (the neopangaea disaster)
except that today,
the world comes together. (in athletic synchronization)

So I guess we need to create a new emblem. Any of you artsy-folks so inclined? Very Happy

I'm a little confused as to what they're considering the 5 continents that should be represented. In the current emblem/flag, the continents included are Africa, America (North & South together), Asia and Europe (separate) and Australia. Looking at the continents drawn on the artifact we have the Americas separated, Eurasia together, Australia, Africa and Antarctica. So it looks like the idea is to create a map with rings symbolizing the continents shown in the drawing here (although I don't get why they wouldn't use the same representation of continents shown on the current Olympic emblem), with lines/arrows showing how they'd move towards Neopangaea. The red dashed lines shown on the artifact don't seem to accurately represent how the continents would come together, but I'm not quite sure.

And what's that huge blob of land between Australia and Africa? Has New Zealand grown? (Mr. J!!!)

I dunno- which of the strengths are supposed to be artsy? The Myth folks, I'm thinking. I know I'd suck at that xD
