Heya and welcome to uF. We haven't heard from Elliot since Thursday when he tweeted ending "Tomorrow, though. Promise."
So....that's wierd but still a bit premature to put my worried, frowny face on.

Does anyone else feel that we've missed something with our last clues?

It did just kind of fizzle out after the discovery of the twentyseven site and the mysterious disappearing countdowns... don't feel like the puzzle reached a 'conclusion' as it were.

I completely agree. Just thought I'd mention a few of the things I've tried, maybe I'm missing something or someone can see something I can't...I dunno...willing to try anything at this point. I just really feel like Elliott is waiting on us to find something.
I've cross-referenced Simeon's "hieroglyhs" (used in his cryptic note to Nathan) with those referenced in the wikis of certain Hebrew letters. Not all of the letters were derived from hieroglyphics (or so it seems.) Those that did cross-reference didn't seem to make sense. I could be missing something or taking the wrong approach.
I also cross-referenced the Hebrew symbols for the letters with the symbols used by Simeon in his note to Nathan. I saw a few similarities, but not enough to convince me I'm on the right track.
I'm stumped right now. I did find the following page. It talks about the twenty-two letters being used in the creation of the universe. This has been a deadend for me, but perhaps someone smarter or more experienced, will see something I didn't.
EDIT: I guess posting the link would help.

Here's the thing that stands out most to me...
The site is called 'twentyseven' yet we only have 22 pages. Maybe there are another 5 to find???

Yes! That's exactly what I've been irked about too. I've tried so many different things. Can't figure it out.

I've tried with no luck:
The five final-form letters in Hebrew.
The seven forms of God. (I know, it's not five, but I tried anyway.)
Letters of the Greek alphabet (although not all.)
The Torah (First Five books of Hebrew Bible) in English and Hebrew.
Still working on it.

Stumbled upon something else, but it probably doesn't mean anything. Thought I'd share...
The Hebrew alphabet descended from the Phoenician alphabet (which has pretty much the same letters.) The earliest know inscriptions in Phoenician were found in BYBLOS and date back to about 1000 BCE. And one of the Phoenician gods was ADONIS.
Just thought it was interesting how it all ties together.

I guess Nathaniel isn't the only one who's missing.
Heisenberg as in Heisenberg uncertainty principle?
Can't play for too long right now....I'll be in and out tracking progress....
