https://www.facebook.com/Prometheus


Right, so that just means Melodyman is assuming that that's what the team behind the Prometheus Facebook are saying, but they haven't actually said that anywhere have they?

EDIT:

Okay so SevenSonicStructures did a great job of finding possible meanings behind two of the symbols. The only place I can find any reference to the following symbol is here:



Looks like it's Unicode called U+25E9 and nothing else. I can't find any historical or ancient significance to it whatever. This is starting to do my head in.

Cookie,

did you find that link in the jave script? If you did good find!! I know tons of people have been pouring over it


Thank you, but it is probably nothing. I picked it out of the sharing scripts. it is probably just webhost stuff, but it is a bit odd.

Now Bishop is taunting us!

Bishop doesn't know any more than use right now. Let's just keep trying.

Okay, so we've been assuming it's the Starmap from the Zeta Reticuli incident, and now it's the Aguila Constellation? Now that's something that could give a spin to this puzzle.

But first things first: The map doesn't match up with the constellation, the stars aren't at similar positions. The eagle is actually next to the map, which means it has to be, if anything, a nearby constellation with a similar pattern. The eagle is important in the Prometheus myth considering its role in the punishment inflicted in him (and part of the theme of a warning disguised as an invitation), but I can't see the match yet.

HD Screen Caps of the US trailer

HD Caps of the International Trailer

Whilst it certainly looks like Aquila (Which is the Latin for the original "Aetos Dios" Greek original) plays an important role in Prometheus' future I don't think it is part of the password for entering the website for artistic reasons.

The constellation does have decent backstories covering Lyra, Vega and other stars but as yet I haven't found anything working. Including from the Chinese mythos.

Hope the screen caps are useful.

You know, that prison world thing sounds a bit off. Was that the only reason Weyland really went on that world ?

From wikipedia:

HD 85512 b, along with Gliese 581 d is considered to be one of the best candidates for habitability as of August 30, 2011.

I was wondering about our dear old friend Icarus and if he is related to this adventure. I did a quick search and found this introduction to a website dedicated to "Not Normal" presence. Their words, not mine....

"Welcome To Icarus
The Icarus Project envisions a new culture and language that resonates with our actual experiences of 'mental illness' rather than trying to fit our lives into a conventional framework.

We are a network of people living with and/or affected by experiences that are often diagnosed and labeled as psychiatric conditions. We believe these experiences are mad gifts needing cultivation and care, rather than diseases or disorders. By joining together as individuals and as a community, the intertwined threads of madness, creativity, and collaboration can inspire hope and transformation in an oppressive and damaged world. Participation in The Icarus Project helps us overcome alienation and tap into the true potential that lies between brilliance and madness."

We've got the first two symbols in unicode:
◩▢

I can't find the last. It'd be pretty dumb if the password was written on the login page though... I feel like its not very immerse to have to crack this type of password. We signed up as investors, so we should be given access to the investor page.

Has anyone tried the symbols as the password?

I notice Jorgey is working on the same ideas as I look at my preview..

I can do 25E9.. ◩

I can do 25A1.. □

But 26CB eludes me with default fonts, and I've installed Symbola which allows me to do all three characters, but I'm not certain any of my browsers are accepting it as input. ⛋

...and needless to say I've tried all manner of variations of 25E925A126CB and nothing works.

I'll hunt the remaining symbol. Another alternative is the cuneiform name of MULNUNKI (or "Star of Eridu"). Yeah, there's Unicode for cuneiform too, even though my browser only shows blocks.
I tried ERIDU in cuneiform (𒉣𒆠) but it didn't work, it only says NUNKI though.

Me likes to make connections...like in connect the dots.

So, looking up U.S. Patent Number 8,128,899

The Assignee (patent owner) is Guy Rollinger of Luxembourg.

His company is the "Groupe Guy Rollinger".

The website for this company is:

http://www.rollinger.lu/euro-innovation/index.php

Watch the intro video. You will see that they are a recycling company. Using the process that they have patented. Could this relate to transforming (terraforming) alien worlds into hospitable planets?

Also notice the company logo....kinda looks like one of the Unicode symbols, does it not?

Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.

The logo is even used as the website's Favicon.

You can see the logo in action by watching the video on this page of that website:

http://www.rollinger.lu/immoglobal/index.php

Here below is another one of their groupe company logos. Which is eerily like the Prometheus Movie Image Ad.

Well I just checked 58,111 words from the dictionary. None of them worked. I didn't really expect it to, but I thought I'd try. It's more likely a name or number.

I used http://fileformat.info btw, great tool to find Unicode characters... This one is described as "WHITE DIAMOND IN SQUARE". It doesn't show up in my browser, but you can see it here: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/26cb/index.htm

It doesn't work, though.
