Thanks, and your right Rogi

I just went with Sabik because of it's meaning and of this

AWESOME Summary!!! You are a ghoddess!

[grumpyboy]

i'll probably get blasted for this but here goes anyways:

my own personal opinion is that it is possible that the pages we have so far have not been found in the proper order.

We found them in this order: corax --> ophiuchus --> mercury --> ????

on corax, we have "ieros topos" which although fits in in the big picture, was not used in reaching ophiuchus.html

the numbers on ophiuchus decodes to "a death by hand of a saint fhom the heavens he fell". we're assuming it's lucifer that's being refered to. yes, he did fall from heaven, but as far as I can tell there was no "death by the hand of a saint". in any case i feel that the lucifer - mercury link is somewhat weak. lucifer = morning star, but "morning star" is more often used to describe Venus than Mercury.

so in my mind, the steps from corax--> ophiuchus and from ophiuchus --> mercury are both a bit of a stretch.

i'm thinking the order might be corax --> ??? --> mercury --> ophiuchus --> ????

blast away

No arguments here, grumpyboy. I've been wondering that since my faux pas in finding Plato a 2nd time. Even little clues like the naming convention of the "M" pictures support that we may be "out of order". I also think there may be many pages in-between.

If we did find pages of the trail out of order (I think that might be the case, too), then "ieros topos" might just be sending us back to where we left off before the email was sent out . That being http://www.mystes.com/hiramabif.html , with the picture of King Solomon's Temple; a sacred place.

edit: to fix the link

Okay, not wanting to get too deep into religion here but then I guess Mithraism is a religion, I want to clear the air on the "a death by hand of a saint, from the heavens he fell."

Interesting Tidbit

With the posting of the new mrleeds YouTube video "History", I've come to a speculation that the mercury image is a palimpsest.

You can read my post regarding how I came to this conclusion here:
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15661

Here's a wikipedia entry on what a palimpsest is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palimpsest

As to figuring out how to retrieve the original image from this document, I'm stumped. The closest I've come to a method to do this I found on this page:
http://www.cis.rit.edu/people/faculty/easton/k-12/exercise/sld001.htm

Unforunately, I am extremely bad with both math, and digital image processing. My eyes tend to glaze over. Maybe someone with more talent in those areas will be able to make some progress.

Something that is a stretch, but does lend credence to the fact that this may be a palimpsest is the image name is m13p.jpg. Maybe p for palimpsest?

OK, from the e-mail that was recieved by many of us from initiatesoneSPLATmystes.com (discussed here:http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=15711) we ended up at:

Glad I had legal sized paper! It does look very much like the knowldege mask - without the pillars over the eyes - at least that is how it is drawn in Sarah's blog.

Did we ever get pictures of the masks other than the couple of sketches in the blog?

[edit] forgot to add, great job goldranger!
