Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but does that get you to the 0? Doesn't look like it does to me Confused

Now with "understanding.jpg" we got 3 words:

I get where you're going with the three word clues and I think the translation seems to be correct but it's very hard to tell. I'm sure I'm not the first person to notice but no one's mentioned yet that the second word translates from 'ESETULA' -- the original hacked password. I wondered if the other words are passwords for the other files -- perhaps itbegins_24.jpg...

 		Couple of things I've noticed, maybe they've been answered already.

On the main Ny Takma page, where Yshk Lanti, Yshk La and Yshk Gai appear engraved on the cracked stone, why is Yshk Sha, a tabbed link down below not included on the list?

These also feel like they should be links.

And the Yshk Sha link is the only one where the words are included in the picture. (Almost as if it's unfinished!). Has anyone tried stegging these pictures yet, from the non-flash version of the site?

Just my train of thought...

Oh, and on the /curiosity page, although /images/itbegins_32.jpg exists, it is not used in the html of the page.

Yes, and although it is a bit suspicious that there is only one, seemingly unnecessary, JPEG on the page it appears to be clean. Odd though.

If I'm not mistaken itbegins_32.jpg is the map but they use the co-ordinates as the tag on the site.

[TheEnd][UPDATE] 746865656e64 site after countdown
This person on the tablet of the End url is Ananeus the elder, a roman Noble man, who I knew. I was luckely to meet him twice or trice. He was martered as being the first notable martyr, even before they called Gracchus the Elder with his nickname Germanicus the Traitor.
There on the Shroud of Turin do you find Apollonius of Tyana or with his nickname der "Taufer" i.e. the German High Priest, who had Caiphas to be the High Priest in Sanhedrin of Old. Old times have gone and Rome will vanish. This relative of me had Jerusalem put into fires at around 70 AD and all stones removed- to even to find the last gold coin.

 		I know YskLanti emails have a seperate thread, but thought I would post this here considering the last post.

No I am not familiar with this particular individual and would not approach
you in the method he has chosen to further confuse you.

Subject: lucius vitellius

I'm not quite sure this is part of a puzzle or not, but a man named lucius
vitellius posted a riddle, to which I believe the answer is TITUS.

I thought I would send an answer to you, thinking that perhaps you know
lucius and somehow this would solve part of another riddle.

 		This is my first post, first ARG.... very exciting. I don't know how much help I'll be with the linguistics or the decompiling, but I thought I'd do some research into the larimar stone, since one of the emails indicated that something had been misunderstood.

Just found this:

Quote:


Larimar, found in only one kilometer of the world, is one of the rarest gemstones in the world. It's found in a remote area of the mountains in the Dominican Republic. [...]

It is a relatively new stone, discovered in the 1950's when an earthquake loosened the stone from the mountain, causing it to travel down a local river. The townspeople saw the stone and ultimately followed it back to its source, high up in the mountains.


According to local folklore, the name "Larimar" was given to the stone by Miguel Mendez, combining his daughter's name LARIssa and MAR the Spanish word for sea. The stone is also called the Atlantis Stone, since a wise prophet once claimed that the Dominican Republic was part of the lost continent of Atlantis, a connection that has been affirmed by various spiritual and metaphysical authorities.

Nothing earthshattering, but a confirmation we're on the right track with daughters and Atlantis and the Caribbean. Hope I can come up with something more useful later on...

I don't know wtf this is about, but Lucius Vitellius does appear to be a historical figure. Both he and his son of the same name had died by 70 AD, so I don't know how he would know about the burning of Jerusalem in 70. Of course, I don't know how they would post on an internet form 2000 years later, either. Nor do I know how this is related to the present topic. I'm guessing it's not (as confirmed by email), so I'm ignoring it.

 		Where are we with this?

Kinda of a dead end or is it Ny Takma.

Any new updates from Hank?

 		Yeah, nothing new since Sunday. It seems we just have to wait for another puzzle or some more content. I guess we could work on the language, but there's not much to do there besides speculate.

Based on Hank's most recent emails, though, I'm looking for some kind of blog for W.B., but so far I haven't found anything yet.

Trout This snippet has been quoted at least twice already. These threads are getting really long and confusing as it is, please read thru them before posting so as not to clutter the threads with information that has already been posted.

 		It does seem to have gone pretty quite but I can't think that we'd be left spinning like this if there wasn't something we were supposed to be working on.

[hint]I'm sure with Hank being aware of the goings on in these forums he'll soon post something to get things moving again...[/hint]

 		In the /curiosity page,

- the tag "everywhere confused attempt to understand rue"

I recall seeing "rue" used to name the jpgs that made up the initial website during countdown.

Anyone confirm?
