Dark Side Of The Moon

Hey Gang...

Well Cem, the tapping sounds might be Morse Code...kinda like when Shadrack was walking down the street in Push carrying the shovel and dragging/tapping it to reveal the message...

As for the white noise at the end, I haven't a clue...maybe an ode to the Beatles? Lol...

As for the Parchment/Scripture itself, Dead Sea Scrolls are brought to mind...and doesn't the shape itself strike you odd...like an island or even Australia?

Really doesn't look like morse code.. All the beats are equally spaced (about 1 second apart, with the exception of some which are less..) .. odd that all the beats are positive on the waveform.. don't know what that means.. maybe they where just electronically inserted.. nothing else stands out.. I really hate puzzles that don't look like puzzles...

Finally my conundrum has quickened its pace,
I hoped that this puzzle would awaken the place.

Do not be afraid of a challenge my friends,
For you will find that in the end,
Practice makes perfect, and on that you depend.

Out of the box may your thinking be,
If the solution eludes you, a clue you shall see.

As for me I will hide, for now, behind the curtain,
To one day reveal my face, I am certain.

Well the parchment is from The Dead Sea Scrolls.
The Hosea Commentary
http://www.ibiblio.org/expo/deadsea.scrolls.exhibit/Library/hosea.html

The text is a commentary on the prophetic biblical verses from the book of Hosea 2:8-14.
The verse refers to the relation of God (the husband) to Israel (the unfaithful wife). In the commentary, the unfaithful ones have been led astray by "the man of the lie."

Hosea 2:8-14 KJV (The DSS Commentary is pretty much the same.)
8 For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Ba'al.

9 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.

10 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.

11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.

12 And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.

13 And I will visit upon her the days of Ba'alim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the LORD.

14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.

The attached file is what you get from the meta tags..

For what it's worth, here's where the taps come in, in seconds:

.2
.7
(1.1 music begins)
1.8
2.6
3.6
4.8
5.6
6.6
7.3
8.2
9.1
10.1
10.9
11.8
12.5
13.5
14.4
15.5
16.3
17.3
18.0
18.8
19.9
21.0
21.8
22.8
23.6
24.6
25.3
26.3
27.2
(27.4-31.5 white noise)

Although the taps are more or less one second apart, the human ear is capable of hearing the difference, and the snaps don't sound at all evenly spaced.

As for the last spoiler posted -
