 		Triangle Mystery
I didn't think it would have to be said but...

READ THIS POST FIRST BEFORE POSTING NEW FINDS

Right, so its been a while since I've been here but I think I might have found something of interest (please be gentle if its already been found)

http://www.trianglemystery.com/

When the page opens up you're in a room with a floating polygon, every so often it will "open up" and show a blurb of text. The polygon can be moved, and thrown at the surroundings. Enough throws and the walls come tumbling down revealing an island with 2 pyramids in the foreground, one in the background, and a large ancient looking city. On the 2 pyramids in the foreground are strange symbols. When moused over the small pyramid on the left will change its symbols (from dots to symbols) and the one on the right seems to be a clock. At the bottom of the right pyramid is a place to enter an email address. When entered press the red button and a message appears (something to the effect of you will be notified.)

Back to the pyramid on the left in each of the little circles there is either a dot (.) or a dash (-) This is the cipher for the symbols. They all have a numerical value . = 1 .. = 2 much like roman numerals with - = 5 and so on. Using this cipher, its easy to decode the symbols on the larger right pyramid, revealing a countdown. The large center circle is counting down seconds, the one above it, days and then hours and minutes following clockwise. The timer counts down to 1:00am on May 12th (EST).

I am going to assume that the dots (3 lit, 13 unlit) are counting down the number of days (13 until the 12th) meaning the countdown started on the 26th.

Other than that, rotating on the bottom is a sun/moon dial, its current relevance I am unsure...

Looks like we're just going to have to wait until the 12th.

If anyone else knows anything else please let me know.

 		It looks like the more you abuse this little puppy, the more of these clues it throws you. "Find the park in North Carolina..." stuff like that. I'll try recording some.

 		looks like the rotating sun-moon is counting every 10 seconds...

 		When you break the wall down, there is a small pyramid in the background that has circles on it. Inside the circles are the symbols the Mayans used for numbers. What does this mean? I have no idea?! Shocked

Some of the boxes clues...? Riddles? I dunno.

First pyramid, there's a spot to pop in your e-mail, with the message 'you will be told' popping up when you type it in.

 		The polygon...thing is oddly reminiscent of the... thing... from Ethan Haas was Right. Maybe the people behind it are finally trying to satisfy the ARG playerbase they were so blissfully unaware of until they learned what an ARG was?

Probably not. But, I suppose a man can dream Razz

 		Many of the "clues" seem to be pointing towards Masonry.

Non Masonic Clues:

"It Maintains 68 degrees." That is the temprature 8 feet below the surface of the Earth nearly worldwide.

"The Biggest is not in Egypt" The largest Pyramid is Mayan (Or Maybe Incan)

Those are the only ones I know for certain.

There are also a number of clues pointing at a "Triangle" The Bermuda triangle was referenced in one clue (I do not have a quote) . "it is the essence of stability" seems to refer to a triangle being one of the most stable building shapes (look at bridges and the Eiffle Tower lots of triangles) Also The Phrase "One is Formed by 159(?) Pennsylvania and Constitution," refering to Washington DC Roads and the triangle formed there.

ETA: Heres some info on Belgium 1969: http://www.cohenufo.org/Belgium/unslvdmyst.html

Thats all I have for now.

 		If you mouse over the small pyramid it converts the Mayan symbols into the symbols on the big pyramid. The symbols on the big pyramid look like a countdown. I'm working on how long the countdown is.
