 		Someone pointed out in another thread that /aftermath still hasn't been figured out, so...

I googled the Taymyr Peninsula, and checked out the Wiki Page.

But, aside from shamanistic practices, mining, and extinct muskoxes, doesn't seem to be anything incredibly special about it.

A few other possible connective things: "Excerpts and Ideas"

Muskox Suffered Loss Of Genetic Diversity At Pleistocene/Holocene Transition
ScienceDaily (Oct. 6, 2005) —
The tundra muskox, one of the few large northern mammals to have survived to the present day, saw its genetic diversity decrease greatly at the end of the Pleistocene period, around 10,000 years ago. A study published in the open access journal BMC Evolutionary Biology reveals that the muskox (Ovibus moschatus) was genetically much more diverse before the Pleistocene/Holocene transition, the period that witnessed the extinction of other great mammals such as the mammoth.

If we are considering the gene thing here....

Another person noted the Chykcha Impact Crater;


It is also listed in quite a few scientific journals in regards to rapid planetary change as well as human evolution.


Or maybe there is a gum coming out called fire and ice...and i looked waaaay to far into this



Maybe it is just a cliffhanger till the next logs?

Its Monday..I am ready Smile

 		This is me going whackjob crazy right here; but you gotta love a tryer. I was checking out another ARG in the news forums and I done a bit of old code letter to number thing. Then I remembered the Paper token thing...


Code:
p a p  e r
16 1 16  5 18

t o k e n
20 15 11 5 14


I don't know what the hell I was thinking, but I just converted them to coordinates without thinking. And do you know, they fit a perfect set of coordinates.

Code:
16.116518,20.1511514

maps.google.com link

I don't know what this has to do with anything, throwing it out there. I was surprised that they actually matched up to coordinates though.[/url]

 		For the image on the conduit page. Has anyone else with a laptop tried inverting the colors of the image then looking at it with their screen tilted?

I've tried it and I can vaguely make out letters on the sides of, what I'm assuming is the icefly, on opposite sides of the legs and also kinda above the fly itself.

Am I crazy?

I think you aren't. Couldn't you have rotated the image beforehand? lol

That was the first thing I thought of when i saw the picture, streched lettering to look at on eye level angle,

Although I printed it once not inverted .. and tried looking for letters

It might be worth a shot

Like this for people who are wondering

 		I have, and it makes more sense to me uninverted (old photo, yellowed tape, blue paint). Even tried staring at it for a long time, then clicking open a blank, white page (afterimage/aftermath, it made sense at the time). I have just noticed something weird though.



I don't think this can be made by painting. All the other oddities can be explained away by brushstrokes or scratching (intentional and otherwise), but the way this curves, it's either an oversight in an editing program, or there's another image left in the paint behind the icefly.

 		I tried a bunch of filters and effects on it in PS, but saw nothing. I inverted the colors, negated the jpg, and made it B&W among so many others, no luck.

It's really funny that you should notice that with your naked eye. See, if you take the part that you have circled and you lay it over a part to the right of the icefly, they match up perfectly (as seen earlier in the forum I believe I posted a pic of it) but the only 2 things that dont match on that part are that little splotch that you circled and the icefly itself. You should take a look at it, I inverted and overlayed them so they would cancel out anything that was the same (it looks grey if its exactly the same).

It states Konx om Pax, it was a cover that Aleister Crowley designed while being a test subject himself Screwy

The word is not important as much as the way it is written, was just showing a skewed way at looking at things.. in the 3rd dimention Wink

Yup. It didn't look suspicious to me, but I've done quite a few of those "paint half a page and fold it over" things, kinda like a Rorschach test. If you have stickier paint, it'll make those weird "staticky" patterns like that.

This is no painting. There are patterns and brush strokes that repeat themselves EXACTLY throughout the entire thing. It was created in PS, but if there is anything hidden in it, I dont see it. Im colorblind though, so I it may just be that I am unable to see it.
