Mutilation of the English language to this degree is no accident. A direct reference to Adamantine is being made here 'Steel'. Combined with 'Still', my guess is this is the key to the next image.

As Jane Smith mentioned before, there's no confirmation that facebook page is official. Everything that "Peter Weyland" posts is taken from the weylandindustries site. IMO, the "Peter Weyland" facebook (and twitter for that matter) are OOG.

Thanks ObFuSc8 and Yoko99 for helping clear things up on the singular vs. plural lingo. And the Latin vs. English naming conventions.

It's good that we all have an understanding of the correct meanings and definitions of that which is being posted here.

Maybe there should be a definition page on the prometheus wiki.

I also think that the Peter Weyland Fakebook page is not in game.

The Weyland logo used for the cover photo is very grainy. Or should I say "low resolution".

If it was the real deal, I would think that the logo image would be sharper.

And the writing would be more grammatically correct.

Not sure how the following information plays into what Weyland and company are doing.

Better to not leave any stone unturned, I therefore present the story of Betty and Barney Hill.

You can read about it at:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_and_Barney_Hill_abduction

What is really interesting is their star map.

Wow!

Just read most of the information in the wiki link you posted and i have to admit that the star map is very much like what we have been looking at in previous posts. not sure what we could do with this though, however a more experienced ARG player might have some suggestions.

Trout It was mentioned (for the third time) just 3 pages ago.

Wow, I've been Trouted! LOL. Laughing

First time for everything I guess. Can I get that stuffed and mounted?


I was only trying to illuminate any information that might be in the article/story of Mr. and Mrs. Hill.

I read the article, and saw that their star map was similar to the ones posted here.

Have you read the article? If so, is there anything there that we can use here in our quest?

We have, And if there is, surely we won't miss it. When it is afoot. Which, if you ask me, is not at the moment.

I read the whole article the first time it was posted, and while the actual description of the event doesn't seem to point to anything from the ARG or the film, the map and the story behind is really interesting, specially considering how prominent the Zeta Reticuli system is in the story. Aside from the map lining up with the pattern of the trailer, we don't have any clear leads yet.

For what it's worth, if you multiply the numbers of the two duplicate resources 147 and 45 you get 6615, which is the catalog ID of an embryonic protein called Drosophila. The protein has interactions in cancer cells... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/6615

It's a bit of a straw and I haven't found anything down this path - it could be coincidence but I thought I would post it in case someone else could find something in it or it rang a bell with anyone.

Now to find some kind of numerical sequence in that resource table. I am sure there is one. Sure of it... kind of. Wink

this doesn't appear to me to be in-game but thought i'd share. to those who may be curious then read below, if not you can skip this post. Smile

also, don't mean to sidetrack or sound nitpicky, it's just (while no 'expert') it was my academic focus at one time...

drosophila isn't a protein but a genus(taxon) which may involve the popularly-used melanogaster line of fruit flies in genetics research, or other phylogenic relatives, such as certain genes in snail development. in one lab we performed mendelian genetics to determine phenotypic traits over several generations of d. melanogaster fruit flies.

phylogeny, the study of the evolution of genes and genomes, is used to understand and map specific genes. genes that could be studied to see how they interact with cancer cells. the idea behind it is to learn if certain genes, albeit very similar to a host's own gene, can repress an uncontrolled gene expression that leads to various types of cancers.

from the abstract, the article is looking into details of genetic mechanisms, interactions and molecular biology of snail protein formations that serve to turn of specific ectodermic genes(a repressor) during developmental stages. zinc fingers refer to a certain shape of proteins in 3d space that require zinc for stabilisation.

this chart explains how mesoderms, etcoderms et al. turn into various parts of the body: http://www.luc.edu/faculty/wwasser/dev/layer.htm

Long time reader first time poster.
Weyland said they found the "exact coordinates" for the Project Prometheus. That means using a series of numbers that correspond to one of the ways of measuring the coordinates of planets...they then point to the 'Investors' page.

How about if the numbers associated with the mythical elements create a series of coordinates? EITR = 110 ADAM = 147 etc..? String them together to make Celestial Coordinates? Also include the two resources that have different values, COBALT & YTTRIUM ... possibly using both numbers from them... I think it's worth a try...and I'll get back to you when I have some data...

I was looking for clues to see which of the Celestial Coordination systems Weyland used, if any, but missed it on my first pass... just thought I'd pass my thoughts along tonight...

You guys are great! Very Happy Keep up the intellectual stimuli (or is it stimula) - lol

Okay someone said on Twitter the Yutani entry has disappeared from timeline...can anyone confirm?
And just a FYI,.I'm ignoring the UK tweets for.now, @prometheusmovie is the only reliable account for now (unless they make a separate one for the viral eg @weylandindustries or something)

i think they're working on the website because the timeline is screwed up
