But they still haven't fixed the coordinates for Pikes or the 'Play' workaround in the last puzzle.

Ah, I see now. That exact phrase seems to be the only way to get that on the map from what I can tell. Simply seaching for 'Pikes' when looking at the whole island in google maps gives only this:
MAP
Searching for 'hotel' or 'hotel ibiza' doesn't even get it to show.

So, the moral of the story is don't book your vacation with 'seeyourhotel.com' or you may end up in the drink. Wink

...and playtest your puzzles...

Did a little searching and the "Casbah" clip comes from the 1938 film Algiers.

Attached is what I think is the position of all the rocks at the end of the video, plus what I assume is the clean aligned version of what we're supposed to see. Any ideas on the meaning?

And again: The year 1938 and the film title Algiers. Wasn�t the "Esmeralda" registered in Algiers Question

This can not be coincidence. There must be a connection to this facts Rolling Eyes

Aaargh. I can't log in to the TWI site anymore. It keeps giving me a cookie error. I haven't changed any setting, and removing the cookies doesn't work either. : (

A boat? How's that? : S!

Anyhow, I tried to read it as braille. Normal braille has 6 dots per character, but there is this new type that has 8. Sadly, it didn't end up being anything that made sense...

Even if you rotate, flip and/or mirror it, it's still gibberish.

I have not got the flaunt channel so read everything on the brotherhood's page.

The log I agree with Welle is written by Adolf Schulten. As he talks about the war and "madmen among my compatriots" so likely is German. Also seems to be different from the rest of the group

Could the rest of the group be real artists?

We have the poor sailors Salvador (Dali?), Raoul (Vaneigem?) surrealist painters.

Other people are Joan (Mir�?) surrealist painter Hannah (H�ch?) dada painter, Andr� (Breton) writer, poet, and surrealist theorist, Frida (Kahlo?) surrealist painter. Max (Ernst) graphic artist, Louis (Scutenaire or maybe Bunuel) Belgian Surrealist or surrealist director

Not sure who their freind there is but more signs that Elisabeth stayed where AP was due to the newspaper she found and them taking some with them.

We have a police report which looks like it to Orumax that the police could not AP or find the craft

finally we have Elizabeth's report. A Stele is a stone or wooden slab, generally taller than it is wide, erected for funerals or commemorative purposes, most usually decorated with the names and titles of the deceased or living � inscribed, carved in relief (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stele)

From reading the report guessing the symbols and the stele ned to be used in some ritual to protect the . Look at the report on the brotherhood's site and also http://www.sociedadibiza.com/51552226-0125349.jpg

Last bit on Elizabeth's report is to look into phoenician rituals of protection/sacrifice. Only things I could find about sacrifice is ok children and animals so dont think thats going tob e used.

Only thing I found was the Phoenicans named ibiza Ibossim (from the Phoenician iboshim dedicated to the goddess of the music and dance Bes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibiza
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bes

I have seen some images of Bes and first thought he was the image you partly see on the drawing of the stele by Elizabeth but dont think it is a match.

Info: Ibiza Dalt Villa and the Casbah of Algiers are both in the list of UNESCO Worl Heritage. Maybe there is a connection? Rolling Eyes
