And the final answer would be

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Demeratus sent a warning about a forthcoming attack to Greece by writing it on a wooden panel and covering it in wax. Wax tablets were in common use then as re-usable writing surface, sometimes used for shorthand. Another ancient example is that of Histiaeus, who shaved the head of his most trusted slave and tattooed a message on it. After his hair had grown the message was hidden.

I answered Britskull's questions and now he is joining the Gathering:

You are correct Dan T. You have proven to us that you can see without using your just your eyes. Britskull will join the gathering soon.

Britskull,

Herodotus recorded two uses of steganography:

1) Writing on a wooden panel that is then covered in
wax.
2) Tattoo on a skull(!) before the hair is grown back.

Britskull has joined the gathering and Chapter VI is now up and running! http://www.freewebs.com/13crystalskulls/chaptervi.htm
Good job to those who worked on this puzzle! I wasn't able to contribute that much because it was hard for me to follow... Oh well.

Looks the skulls have nothing but praise this time:
Quote:
The chosen few are moving along well. You who have been chosen are moving along further and faster than any of could have imagined. You have now gathered six skulls together. We are now half way to our goal. Congratulations is in order for all of the chosen who are participating in renewing the Earth. All will be as it once was. The world is in your hands now chosen few. History is waiting to be written with your name in it.

Cursing I tried those passwords on the pics and got nowhere... having tried various options, it seems when I save the files to my PC it screws the stegging and you can no longer desteg. go figure.

I can do it striaght from the email, oh well live and learn. If I'd known that we'd have cracked this as soon as we knew about the stegging.. Embarassed Rolling Eyes

Hey guys,

I'm considering doing an ARGNet feature on this game and would love some input from people who've actually been playing it actively. Smile

If you'd be willing to chat with me about it, please email me at jpriceSPLATargn.com. Thanks!

That's funny. I'm not officially signed up in this arg, so I just used the images that blackhawk127 uploaded. (I don't like giving away that much info about myself online, hence my username, an acronym for none of your business.)

Man. this guy doesn't give up! What doesn't this guy want us helping the skulls? If he doesn't tell us why, then why are we to take this guy seriously?

It seems like he's being torn away before he has a chance to explain.

Ah well. Smile

Of course, when we've been running around helping disembodied skulls (pun intended) who claim they are going to save the world, who are we to judge others sanity?

I'm still waiting for the kicker that the skulls are eviiiil.

[UPDATE] Tyi's Blog

Wednesday, January 31, 2007


I haven't heard much from you at all. Maybe it is because I am not a little cutesy 14 year old, a deaf girl ,or a cooool bartender. But I have been busting my butt off trying to find these skulls and nobody has the curtesy to drop me a hello, how are you, or piss off Tyi. I see how you guys are!

I guess I am just typing all this for my health. Not like any of you care. But, I was following the skulls movement, besides the skull that has been back and forth to Youtube. I haven't seen much movement on them. Then all of the sudden Bam, out of nowhere all of the skulls vanish. I don't know were they went, nor could I track them. They also wouldn't respond when I talked to them. So I am not sure what the are doing. But, I will let you know as soon as I find them again.

i would have left him an occasional comment, but didn't want to sign up to yet another site. We should probably be nice to him sometimes though, if only to keep him on board...

EDIT: Also update from Missy:
Quote:
Wow, I am so confused. Why would someone want us to stop helping the skulls? Is this guy crazy! I really hope this guy doesn't come looking for me.

Actually, I am not waiting around for this guy to come to my house. I am going back to my moms place to stay for a while. I don't know how I am going to pull this one off. With school and all. But, I think If I go and stay with my mom for the weekend and play sick I should be ok. I just can't stay around here while my dad is off at work, and some guy is coming after us.

My mom doesn't have a computer at her house. But, she lives close to a library so I will use thier computer to check in soon.
That's after my warning to her. I didn't really want the creepy old dude harrassing a 14 yr old.!!

I found this on YouTube. Don't know if it's what we are looking for or not, but.
