the new link on the "what is bespoke" page is "regress" it takes you to page flashing a pattern of numbers, the pattern is: 11 24 7 20 3 12 25 8 16 17 5 13 21 9 10 18 1 14 22 23 6 19 2 15


Hmmm...since the numbers don't exceed 26, maybe it has something to do with the alphabet? Like each number represents a letter in the alphabet? 1 - A, 2 - B, 3 - C, etc. Idk.


I doubt there is a message in there, as the frequency of the letters (er, numbers) is that each one appears only once. The numbers appear to be from 1-25 but there are only 24 numbers there -- the number 4 is missing. Do you have a series of 24 or 25 things that need to be sorted differently? Or perhaps something for which the 4th member is important? Maybe the answer is simply "no D" (if 4=D)

Looks like more work has to be done yet.


I have to admit that I have been more focused on my little spiritual journey and I tend to forget about the game element of this. I can't see anything in the numbers, but I don't know a lot yet so that doesn't really say much. The only hints I have received (from gotterdammerung) were that everything we need to know is right in front of us. For example, I don't know if it has been brought up yet or not but there was a hidden link to the forums on the bruja-negra page. I wonder how long the link was there before they finally gave us the link via email... LOL
I go through all the pages again but I don't see any other hidden links. The 3 puzzles I am assuming are the red/green pages, regress, and advance? I have a feeling Anonymous was on to something by coming up with the difference of the numbers on regress. The ) + ( at the bottom of the advance page at first looked (to me anyway) like the symbol for Uranus, but after seeing how "palindromish" the strand of numbers that you get when taking the difference is, I am guessing it could be an equation operation?
It has been a while since I did any real math, but I do remember seeing equations in parenthesis in which you would find the products, then perform the operations between the parenthesis... Any one know what I am talking about? I am thinking we may need to be doing some math here, but who knows I could be way off...

Added:
Also, did we ever find a username and password for the 12-42.org site? It has been a while since this started and I almost forgot about all the older content...


I really wish I was better at this coding stuff, cause I really am curious about the content waiting for us.

New topic posted with a couple pics, by new 'character'
The first one has the notebook paper from Sandi in the background

http://12-42.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12&sid=4ccf2e846343ecf92240c0f62e37d6cd

Added: I believe this 'hieroglyph' depicts the 'Brotherhood of the Snake' which is said to be one of the oldest secret societies. The other picture is of a pharmacy in Hamburg. I have to research more, but I think there might be a connection between the typical pharmacy symbol (the staff of Aesculapius) and the brotherhood of the snake.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
the numbers in the title of the forum thread are 14.11.9.20.8
using letter number substitution it becomes nkith
possibly an anagram for 'think'?

on the one with the letter and the snake hieroglyph the title is the same strand of numbers found at the bottom of Sandi's clue (before we thought was /8.7.1.12.20.11 is really 18.7.1.12.20.11)
Letter number substitution gives 'rgaltk' but I got nothin.....

if anyone is still following this, i got another message from sandi about the notebook page picture:

"I was able to put the words togetther in that note you were helping me with but this i all i got.

sandi

her belly was distended and she opened her mouth.
the evil wind following after, he let loose in her face.
and the wisest of the gods took there stands opposite each other.

the lord spread out his net and enmeshed her,

when opened her mouth to devour him

he cast down her carcass and stood upon it.
he drove in the evil wind so that she could not close her lips.
as the raging winds filled her belly

he shot off an arrow it tore her belly,

as the raging winds filled her belly
It cut through her inward parts it pierced her heart.


When he had subdued her, he destroyed her life
they pressed on to the battle, they approached in combat.


Hilfe. Ich bin in großen Schwierigkeiten!"

of course, the last sentence of her email is in german, and it translates to "help. i'm in big trouble!" so i'm thinking things still aren't looking good for sandi.

the rest of it looks like those are lines from Enûma Eliš, the babylonian creation myth, but the lines are out of order. it should look like this:

Ti'amat and Marduk, the wisest of the gods, took their stands opposite each other
They pressed on to the battle; they approached in combat.
The lord spread out his net and enmeshed her.
The evil wind, following after her, he let loose in her face.
When Ti'amat opened her mouth to devour him,
He drove in the evil wind, so that she could not close her lips.
As the raging winds filled her belly,
Her belly was distended, and she opened her mouth.
He shot off an arrow, it tore her belly,
It cut through her inward parts, it pierced her heart.
When he had subdued her, he destroyed her life;
He cast down her carcass [and] stood upon it.

it should look like that. i'm thinking that it's been mixed up for a reason though. i'm not sure how sandi got that from the letters, but i guess that's the next thing to figure out before i can think of how the numbers at the bottom factor in.

any thoughts?

As far as I know, nothing. The first one (the Babylonian creation story) was broken up in a clue that gave us the 18.7.1.12.20.11 number strand. I was just commenting how similarly it reflected the 1st stanza of the Tao Te Ching, which is what was being discussed in the forums. The basic concepts might give us ideas as to what the answer is, but as far as solving the numbers I doubt they have anything to do with it. We have always been told that everything we need to solve this is right in front of us.

On a whim I tried 12-24.org (after looking at the pic of the watch again I decided to try it) I am not sure, but it looks related. I sent a message to contact care asking why we can't get into 12-42.org anymore since they added the password again, and also asking if the other forum was related or not. I tried to register but it said registration is closed. I also asked if it was indeed related, and if so when registration will be open.

Is anyone out there still looking at this at all? I am stuck as far as the numbers go. I have tried everything I can think of, but will keep at it.

ADDED:
I got a couple of similar replies... after asking if MUSE was the other one in the know I received this:
Quote:

MUSE? She is an inspiration to us all.
We are watching you watch the watch.
CheriJo is in the know.

But Götterdämmerung is never wrong.

I found this:
http://www.vho.org/D/Geheim1/29g.htm
Which mentions both the Vril secret society and the IV Development Black Sun. (Which was also written in the post on the forum, and make references to the twitter account name)
I keep writing, telling them that I have no idea what to do with the numbers but get similar responses.
My guess is we are now talking about ancient alien based secret societies?

A bit more on the numbers... 8.7.1.12.20.11.... substitute to RGALTK
I have been seeing this on websites as written but have no idea what it means. I think it's phonetic arabic? Any ideas?

Spyke, I purposely didn't link to the new video today because I wanted to see if anyone was still watching this. Glad you are still on board. I feel like I am drifting alone on this one Smile

okay I found that the pic via twitter here: http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj259/contactcare/12-42_org.jpg
is the symbol for the black sun or sonnerad....
Not quite sure about the other three. The german on the symbols one I believe translates to "children in pain"
There's the red pic with the same symbol as in the background of the red and green pages. I didn't come across this symbol yet but I will keep looking. The "Body am I, and soul"--so saith the child. And why should one not speak like children?....so vain are they." is from The mask of enlightenment: Nietzsche's Zarathustra

I received this little present in my inbox today:
http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj259/contactcare/soma.jpg
Which I believe is some sort of Malachim lettering along with possibly Arabic?, but I am having a hard time finding the proper translations... help?

Hey Phantom,

I did some digging and this is what I found, (was hard trying to match those symbols). After much digging I found this:


http://www.esotericarchives.com/agrippa/agripp3c.htm

The none middle eastern symbols are actually one of the magical celestial alphabets...
So ya your right it is: The writing called Malachim. Malachim alphabet

Here is a pic of the alphabet from the same page:



Still working on the other language cant tell if its Hebrew or not, hopefully what I found helps :wink I dunno... is it just me or does that pic look like we are looking at it from behind?
