 		This is the contrived shit I kind of hate, but I had a google fit.

One deluge myth is a Hindu myth about Manu (equivalent to Noah, with and ark), who had a brother, Yama.

If the Slender Man is making kids disappear, could be Ark be where the missing kids are — could they have been taken "to the ark"?

That's the tricky thing though: we don't know how much of the "SA-Slenderman" is being used in Marble Hornets. Yeah, in the original Mythos, Slendy liked to abduct little kids, but also mutilate bodies, replace the organs in plastic, and do other sorts of things. None of which he does here. I like the idea though: perhaps "the Ark" is Slender Man's "home" of sorts? That would mean that J could be bait. TTA is using J to attract Slendy, get abducted, then somehow get to "the Ark".
I like that, although there's no basis for it whatsoever.

I read "Yama" over like 6 times, just to make sure I got it right. Hmmm...who was this "Yama" and what was his role? (Already to Google.)

Edit: I finally remembered what "Yama" keeps reminding me of. "Yana" from Doctor Who keeps coming up in my mind. Yana was a character's name, which was revealed to stand for "You Are Not Alone" (referring to the character being the main villain). I know this is completely unrelated, but it keeps striking me as odd.

Yama?
That's definitely relevant:

 		I'm not sold on that translation of number translation. There's been nothing mythological but this in any video, my finding might be a complete red herring

The Ark was salvation from the Flood. Maybe totheark knows about what is happening and is:

1. Trying to protect J (which at this point I doubt)

or

2. Trying to protect us (somehow and for some reason, both of which I do not know)

Deluge myth is one of those legends which occurs in numbers of mythology: Hindu, Norse, Egyptian, Greek and so on...

(Without mention the fact that the Hindu and Norse myths are strongly related, leading some mythology experts to state that the two come directly from the same "proto-mythology".)

About the yama theory, I suspect itcould be some kind of acronym born by assonance with Yama Hindu god of death. But remeber this: in Hindu mythology there is no evil god nor goddess. Evil beings in Hindu mythology are Preta(s) and Rakshasa(s).

Rakshasas are more like deity while Pretas are creatures lurking on the earth...
So SM is more likely a Preta (if we want to stick to the Hindu Mythology).

 		Hello, new poster, been lurking a bit. I think what we need to do is get J to go to the building we see in entry#7 (I believe that's it) from the location scouting. That seems to be our earliest marker of a marker for when slenderman became involved.
