Interesting. Didn't expect to be getting something like that from one of these meta trailers.

So, everything swirling together can mean many things... on one hand, everything is connected and when we synchronize the multiple worlds, simultaneously running labyrinths in significant places, etc. - everything is drawn together and healed!
On the other hand, maybe this represents everything crashing/collapsing together and everyone dying. It's hard to say.

in irc we have been talking, and we think we saw some artifacts not yet collected yet, so maybe this video is a video of the future, that would explain how she got the command, from us, and that also explains how she is talking to eli since he isnt responding to any of the atheletes

It does look like it's from the future, or an alternate dimension. Eli and Ariadne working together (which they are not doing now), and Eli looking hella grizzled like he's been up for about 4 days straight. They look..desperate.

I just assumed this took place after Ariadne sneaked into Eli's lecture, a couple weeks ago (when he found her in his library.) Not sure why she wouldn't have told us about the new command, though.
Can anyone with better technical capabilities capture the screens starting at around 0:55 through 0:59? The maps and diagrams don't look like anything new, although there was a flash of Greek letters, and at 0:59, it almost looks like a Hangman phrase with dashes and letters, although that may just be the collapsing of the letters that form the next phrase. Also, are those codex chapters on Eli's wall?

Got a screen shot up at 00:58 on my flickr here .
Everything else in that quick sequence is stuff we've seen before, labyrinths, the zodiac, map of ancient greece. Although there is a map looking shot that does look a little weird, lemme see if I can grab that one.

I thought it was view of the future too, because she's never mentioned sitting and working with Eli like that, and because the appear to be discussing findings that hadn't been made back when she first broke in there.

I think they are illustrations used in his podcasts. One of the nagging e-mails I sent him was to ask why the images in his video look so much like codex illustrations- did he have codex pages he wasn't telling us about? I got no response to that.

I was able to zoom in on a snapshot and read parts of the documents on Eli's wall. They seem to be in English, "the" is easy to spot in several places, on one I think I see "the why of <illegilble>".
The map in upper left (not the large one of Greece, the small one) looks like it could be titled "Neopangea"
Some of the circular things I thought at first were seals, but from later frames in the trailer, they seem to be pictures of the zodiac.

I guess I've only seen some of your trailer screenshots before...I didn't realize we already had a map of Ancient Greece/etc. I'm in the middle of creating my own collection from this trailer now and will post when I've got it all uploaded to flickr.

Yeah, looking at Bruce's caps, none of them seem to be formatted or drawn in the same style as the codex. It looks like some art, some sketches, zodiacs and labyrinths, plus lots of notes.

I think it's notes for his podcasts. Some of the illustrations are identical.
