Well the words need to be decrypted first to figure out what the picture means, I'm sure of that.

best I can get from a straight letter switch is "poia einai i" however this isn't right as the middle i is different. I don't get anything from ROT or Babelfish from this...

edit: could be poia etnai i, but still get nothing.

We may need to translate from Greek to English, then.

yup, just did it, it means Who am I? so we need the name of Tom's brother.

I've tried Tom'd brother, and Tom's twin with no luck. Also tried Pollux, and Castor, based on the star clue.

Not getting anywhere, but my thinking is the stars, and the text in greek point to the greek names of the stars being Castor/ Pollux. (this also ties in with the mention of Acheron). However I've tried all the variations of their names I can think of with no luck. It may also be significant that the red circle does not circle anything

"Feed RUMI the correct sequence of symbols (in this case, I suspect, the symbols will be our own alphabet)" from the blog. Do you think correct sequence means we are not after a word?

Also a random tidbit that might not mean anything, but the picture of the stars and the circle is called "lock" and the picture of the greek, "Who am I?" is called "key". So I'm leaning more towards the star type names.

Standard twin names are close to each other - Like Tom - Tim. But Tim, Timothy & Timotheos Don't work.

My theory is we have to solve Raph's page to release Tom, and then we will get the answer... the only flaw in this is that there does seem to be clues on the page (stars, greek text, who am I? etc.)

EDIT: Actually I'm not sure why this thread is seperate from the Gemini one, I think the two should be combined?

Well, I don't see a place for Raph's page, but the hebrew characters on the page (linked from the blog) spell NIMROD

what do you mean by you don't see a place for Raph's page? I don't follow your thinking?

I'm guessing it is in response to my post as you quoted me, but I don't understand the link. What I meant was, my theory is we solve Raph's page which will release Tom, then by communicating with him we can get his brother's name. Just my theory.
