 		Maybe only a few players getting a name, but I'm not sure...

@ AUZ505, smart! I didn't think about that Embarassed

Edit, after Bruce his Link I google'd a bit and came across this

Quote:
600 BC; Ezekiel
The prophet Ezekiel reported the following incident in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar : ... And I looked and behold a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud and fire unfolding itself, and a brightness were about it, and out of the mist thereof as the colour af amber, out of the midst of the fire. Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance : they had the likeness of a man. And everyone had four faces, and everyone had four wings. And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.... When they went they went upon their four sides; and they turned not as they went. As for their wings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their wings were full of eyes round about them four. And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth the wheels were lifted up.


And

Quote:
593 BC; Chaldea, Iraq
Old Testament Prophet Ezekial watched a "wheel" descend from the sky. The craft landed on the banks of the Chebar River where Ezekial was taken aboard and flown to the Tel Aviv Mountains. The full description of the object is found in Ezekial Chapter 1.


So in the year 593 B.C. there was a UFO seen in Chaldea,
It's UFO related I think

(Pffff, I'm editing like crazy)

I signed up earlier, but it turns out RL is getting a lil' too busy & I'll only be able to lurk this one... If it's allowed OneEyed, you can have the code name given to me: Qhan 8th phase leader
Hope this helps! Wink

I think the late-comers are possibly not getting codenames as I got the same message. Not to worry though, I daresay they're not essential to play along though.

Maybe I'm way of, but my mind can't stop thinking...

Spiders + UFO = War of the Worlds ?....

And now it's time for coffee Razz

 		The 593 BC drawing has more to do with Anubis, Abraham, and Joseph Smith?

 		EDIT - Edited to remove pointless re-post of what Booba had already said. Must pay more attention. Smile

Apparently there's a biography of Joseph Smith called "Rough Stone Rolling" which would kinda fit the cryptic message about papa being a rolling stone...

Nope, thats Chrysolite or Olivine or (Mg,Fe)2SiO4.

By the way, thereīs a third mineral of the olivine group containing Mn instead of Mg or Fe.

The correct names for the three subtypes are:

Fayalite (Fe2SiO4)
Forsterite (Mg2SiO4)
Tephroite (Mn2SiO4)

And some mixed with Ca:

Monticellite (CaMgSiO4)
Kirschsteinite (CaFeSiO4)

But no CaMnSiO4.

Donīt know if this tells us anything...

EDIT: Okay, CaMnSiO4 is Glaucochroite.

Fated to co-exist without one of those kewl Klingon sounding names, still hope to help. Sad

If we're supposed to be connecting the blog entries, Bushman (and others) wrote regarding Smith's use of seer stones ....."Smith may have also acquired another,a green stone , while he was living in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania."
See Notes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seer_stone_(Latter_Day_Saints)

 		Alright, I'll bite. I've got no job now so I have time for ARGs again. Aaah, feels like high school.

Papa was a rollin' stone is a temptations song: http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Papa-Was-a-Rolling-Stone-lyrics-The-Temptations/F956A99BF29F5E3748256D2F0030F511.

539 BC, in Chaldea, was when Ezekiel saw his "wheel", or UFO: http://www.ufoevidence.org/cases/case493.htm

As for the image in the most recent post, Chaldea was part of ancient Mesopotamia - the picture is of the basic mummification ritual - however, it seems to me like the person being mummified is not dead. In the same alien vein, it might be a reference to alien abduction/experimentation.

I am a huge history nerd, and an even bigger paranormal nerd - I've studied way to much alien lore, and even more relating to ancient aliens.

Hopefully I can help. I'm rusty, but it'll be good to get into these again.

THe image is Facsimile 1 from The Book of Abraham in the Pearl of Great Price, which was translated by Joseph Smith. There seem to be a connection to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is a representation of Abraham in Chaldea about to be offered up as a sacrifice by his father (who was a priest of Elkena).

Link to the Book of Abraham: http://scriptures.lds.org/en/abr/contents

Facsimile Number 1 http://scriptures.lds.org/en/abr/fac_1

I'm a member of the Church, so I got interested when I saw the pic & the reference to the seers. I'm not joining the game at this point but would be glad to be a resource if there are any LDS specific puzzles, etc.

Edit: This is not to be confused with Abraham offering up Isaac unto the Lord, which happened many decades later.
Edit 2: BTW, the date on the post does not match the expected date of the event.
Edit 3: I suspect the PM might be LDS or at least ex-LDS...
Edit 4: The spider in Video 4 has "shed" its "skin" or exoskeleton (See this for an example: http://www.haworth-village.org.uk/nature/pictures/large-insects.asp?pic=168). This may have reference to that Chrysolite is used to hold casings together during the forging process...although i doubt the relevance.
Edit 5: Are these baby spiders (is there a huge Mum-spider @ the bottom of the screen? I think I can see the legs, but I'm getting my eyes checked soon, so it may just be cracks in the wall... Rolling Eyes
(PS I think that's enough edits!)
