how about Chrysopteron or Isis? Should we go so far as to look to Osiris(husband-brother to Isis) and Horus (son to Isis)?

Try EROS.

That may be the answer to his question.

Quote:
First was Chaos and Night, and black Erebus and vast Tartarus;
And there was neither Earth, nor Air, nor Heaven: but in the boundless bosoms of Erebus.
Night, with her black wings, first produced an aerial egg,
From which, at the completed time, sprang forth the lovely Eros,
Glittering with golden wings upon his back, like the swift whirlwinds.
But embracing the dark-winged Chaos in the vast Tartarus.
He begot our race and first brought us to light.
The race of the Immortals was not, till Eros mingled all things together;
But when the elements were mixed one with another, Heaven was produced, and Ocean,
And Earth, and the imperishable race of all the blessed Gods.

Aristop. Aves. 698.—Suid. v. Chaos.

4. the golden topper on the weathervane of the dome in the background seems like its had the ocntrast turned way up.



Does the weathervane topper look like a bird to anyone? an eagle perhaps?

Either way, if it is a bird of some kind it definitely has "golden wings."


Could be a Pegasus from Greek Mythology. Depicted at times as having golden wings, and flying Perseus to the heavens.

 		Good work finding that info hidden in the picture. Now to try and figure out how to get it out.
Our friend AR is giving us more clues, and more collaborators from across the world are joining in on our search for answers.
Maybe after some more digging around and thought on the latest AR messages we will find new clues to further our ends.

"Who is the path of light from blackest Earth to brilliant heaven? On whose golden wings will we fly from here to there?"

Yes, who? Who, indeed.

Arkie's last communique today was in response to a user's post of "Iris", on the B.net forums.

Iris is a winged greek god who is a messenger for Hera and Zues.

Good find! More Support, and a reference to the Fall of Troy:

"Zeus, at the utmost verge of earth, was ware of all: straight left he Okeanos's stream, and to wide heaven ascended, charioted upon the Anemoi (Winds), Euros (the East), Boreas (the North), Zephyros (the West-wind), and Notos (the South) [in the shape of horses]: for Iris rainbow-plumed led 'neath the yoke of his eternal ear that stormy team, the ear which Aion (Time) the immortal framed for him of adamant with never-wearying hands [NB Pegasos would have replaced Euros in early accounts of the horse-team, this fourth wind-god was not usually recognised by early poets such as Homer and Hesiod]." - Quintus Smyrnaeus, Fall of Troy 12.189

 		Another thing to consider is this:

Time to sleep. Something that once was malevolent is stirring. [hibernation resumed]

Something that ONCE was malevolent...

Could this point toward something that was at one time evil but is now good? The elites? Since they are now sided with humanity in the fight against the Covenant, could they be the ones in the present time on the move?

Or he could just be talking about the flood, as usual, the overbearing evil in the Haloverse. But something about AR's choice of words leans me toward a far more mysterious end.

 		Halo3.com has been updated!
Halo3.com has been updated. The main area now shows a series of "locked" servers, demanding user names and passwords for each one. It looks like things have started in earnest now.

 		Sweet! Time to unlock server 1?

Anyone want to try and "hack" the system? Laughing
