I've tried multiple times to contact both of them via email and phone but no joy. The messages didn't kick back, just no answer.

Same here. Also calling TG just gives the same message about them being in lockdown ...

Sad

Looks like it isn't related to mu afterall....
http://www.mcs.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/R.Knott/Fibonacci/fibrab.html shows that the sequence in the image filename on www.thegenesisconspiracy.com is actually the start of something called The Fibonacci Rabbit Sequence. I'll skip the summary and let you guys read it... hopefully someone can explain what, if anything, that knowledge might gain us.

Edit: Trout Giving myself a trout after reading Pretense's response below.

It's been mentioned as a possible clue before in triad genomics here:

http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=19957&start=303

and in relation to the name on the mayan calendar very specifically here:

http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21070&start=16

And while it is interesting to see the common thread, nothing seems to have matured out of that line of inquiry either

Still waiting for any new fruit. :\

Just finished reading the book Cool It was a fun read. Anyway, I thought maybe it would lead me in a new direction for clues or material - but, so far - no joy. Bang Head

If we could only contact Quiz again .... maybe that would help? Dunno

ok, this is a long shot..but maybe if we take the numbers in Dr. Madson''s magic square, and conver it to mayan numbers (lines and dots) then make the lines ones and the dots 0's..... we will get binary and decode that?

Unfortunately I am at work and can't do it.

I even tried using words like ursprache (Cool on the 8x8 grid --- but the problem is --- we don't even have any text to decrypt! Bang Head

Now, like I said, I'm no cryptologist -- just a mear artist. So I have been looking at all the pottery, the temples, the pyramids, etc... and I can't find anything that we haven't aleready tried.

Edit: I did try this with 260 and there is the issue of the 3rd symbol (the Maya zero symbol) also with 2080 and 5160. No joy.

I did a reply to Lien Meihui today - I was going over everything AGAIN only this time I got a reply!

Quote:
My email:
Thank you. I found the site THEGENESISCONSPIRACY.COM from the capital letters included in the verse.
I noticed the picture title 1_0_1_1_0_1_0_1_1_0_1_1_0_1_0_1_1_0_1 is the Golden String. I do not know what to do from here. I seem to be at a dead end. Do you have any suggestions or directions I should search?

Did you ever meet up with Mr. Forrest?

Thanks,
emato


The response email from Lien Meihui:

Did she see him knocked out?

3 weeks without anything... anyone else feel like they got duped into buying a hardcover to play along with the game, when I would have otherwise happily waited for a paperback release (or my library to acquire it)?

That's not to say I didn't enjoy the book, as I certainly did....

Am I out of line in interpreting that quote from her as, "We offered you a game and got nothing but blank stares."

Popol Vuh
it's a quote

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popol_Vuh

The bold is mine:

Quote:
Creation Myth
The book begins with the creation myth of the K'ichee' Maya, which credits the creation of humans to the three water-dwelling feathered serpents:

There was only immobility and silence in the darkness, in the night. Only the Creator, the Maker, Tepeu, Gucumatz, the Forefathers, were in the water surrounded with light. They were hidden under green and blue feathers, and were therefore called Gucumatz...


Does this mean there ishope? Dunno

If not, I am bummed. It seemed like such a slick ARG - and I did even purchase the book for it (something I've never done). If all there is, is all there will be then that kinda suks. It was all just a prequel -

http://www.christopherforrest.com/appearances.html - no longer mentions September/October book tour dates. http://www.christopherforrest.com/playthegame.html - no longer references www.triadgenomics.com or www.thegenesisconspiracy.com ('Play the Game' tab).

I'm thinking the game is toast....
