 		By the way, the bridge on Monica's postcard (the "Puente de la Princesa") was inaugurated on 1909 (construction started on 1901). It looks quite finished on the picture. Are we sure the postcard dates from 1904?

 		I was playing around with the code 595 ---E 20 when I discovered this:

The first olympic games was held in 776 BC, right? The trident points to the number 20. 20 olympiads later (20*4) is the year 696 BC. This year hosts the ending of the 696th olympiad.

Coincidence? (Well, yeah, I think so Laughing )

But then again... How many olympiads is it between 595 (1604) and 696 (2008)?

...101... (even more a coincidence?)

I'd say Monica was born 77 as her email address suggests (monica.alt77SPLATgmail.com). But that still doesn't solve the mystery about the old grandpa uncle. Maybe we just ask her. And also: What the name of that man was. Just so that we have more information. (wrote her an email in English)

And maybe one interesting thing about the E: In Hunt's presentation ("The Code") there is quite often missing an E:

Athena
Olumpia (Olympia)
Th bai (Thebes, missing e)

Thermopulai (Thermopylae)
leusis (Eleusis, missing E)
pidauros (Epidauros, missing E)

Argos
lis (Elis, missing E)
Tegea

-Alt+77 = M = Monica? Monica is 30, look at her youtube profile.

---------------------

[HARD SPEC]Imagine that there was a continuity in the olympic games. 1888 was the 666 olympic game...
What about an apocalypsis like puzzle with 595? (you know, number 666 and the name of the roman emperor neron*).

*cesar neron = qsr nrwn (in hebrew, there is a numeric value for each character) so, q+s+r+n+r+w+n=666

Sure, she is thirty. But she could also be born 77 then, and her email address suggests that.

And what do you mean with Alt+77? A shortcut on the keyboard?

Edit: Okay, you could be right...

 		A quick response from Monica. I'm off to university now

Quote:
Hello xxxx!

My english is bad, I write in spanish better.

Espero entender bien tus preguntas, y espero que entiendas bien las respuestas en español.

Me alegra mucho de que pienses que la historia es real!. De alguna manera yo siempre lo sentí, incluso cuando todos se burlaban de mi tío abuelo llamándole "el viejo loco".

Mi tío abuelo, tenía 104 años... y aunque era muy anciano, tenía una vitalidad increíble. Su mente estaba muy despierta y sus ojos transmitían mucha vida y serenidad. Su nombre era Alfredo.

Mónica


Google translation:

I understand your questions, and I hope you understand well the answers in Spanish.

I am very glad you start thinking that the story is real!. Somehow I always felt, even when everyone made fun of my uncle's grandfather calling "the old madman."

My uncle's grandfather, was 104 years ... And although it was very old man, had a incredible vitality. His mind was very awake and his eyes conveyed a lot of life and serenity. His name was Alfredo.

Monica


My email was:

Hello Monica!

I'm one of Diego's an the other amnesiac's friends and want to help you a bit with your story. First of all: I believe what your tío-abuelo told you. It has to be a real story.

But one or two questions: How old was your tío-abuelo when he passed away? He must have been a really old man.

And: What was the name of your tío-abuelo? Maybe this can help us.

Thanks for your help.
If you want to you can answer in Spanish if writing in English is difficult for you.

Bye, xxxx

 		Another Monicas email
Yes, i count an extra year in the dates... Monica told me that i was wrong:

Quote:
Aaaah, por eso querías preguntarme mi edad... jajaja. Tengo 30 años, y según contaba mi abuelo, el hombre del laberinto no debió pasar mucho tiempo en Escocia. Nunca me dio fechas exactas, pero creo que desde que le encontraron hasta que llegó a Madrid, deberion pasar unos pocos meses.

Besos,
Mónica


Without full translation, she told me that Jorge didn't live a full year in Scotland, just a few monts... so, the uncle was 104...

 		Madrid - Neptuno Fontana
[SPEC]

Let's take 595. 5+9+5=19. Now, i get number 20.
I look at 19, at scroll 20 of the Iliad

Spanish:
Quote:
19 Respondióle Zeus que amontona las nubes: —Comprendiste, Poseidón, que bates la tierra, el designio que encierra mi pecho y por el cual os he reunido. Me curo de ellos, aunque van a perecer. Yo me quedaré sentado en la cumbre del Olimpo y recrearé mi espíritu contemplando la batalla; y los demás idos hacia los teucros y los aqueos, y cada uno auxilie a los que quiera. Pues si Aquileo, el de los pies ligeros, combatiese solo con los teucros, éstos no resistirían ni un instante la acometida del hijo de Peleo. Ya antes huían espantados al verle; y temo que ahora, que tan enfurecido tiene el ánimo por la muerte de su compañero, destruya el muro de Troya contra la decisión del hado.


English text:
Quote:
[19] And Zeus answered [To Posidon], "You know my purpose, shaker of earth, and wherefore I have called you hither. I take thought for them even in their destruction. For my own part I shall stay here seated on Mount Olympus and look on in peace, but do you others go about among Trojans and Achaeans, and help either side as you may be severally disposed in your thinking [noos]. If Achilles fights the Trojans without hindrance they will make no stand against him; they have ever trembled at the sight of him, and now that he is roused to such fury about his comrade, he will override fate itself and storm their city."


Is this just a coincidence...???
I think that we have to search in or near the Neptuno's Fontana, in Madrid... i think this is the place...

 		Yes... but the place for what?

[spec]In addition to what you just said VictorSueiro... remember that in the second of Eli Hunt's podcasts, an inscription on the walls of the supposed chamber said "The Earth Shaker" or something like that.

So if your theory of 595 -> 20 pointing to the Iliad is correct, then I would say that it is related to the chamber in the podcast. The Earth-Shaker is Poseidon/Neptune

Another one from the podcast. The game keepers depicted in the artifact Eli saw were 6, and so our amnesiacs... Could be other 5 guys as Jorge back in 1888?
[/spec]

In addition: There are olimpic and not olimpic years.
1888, as 2008, is an olimpic year, date of the 666 olimpic game. I guess that this is something that happened every 4 years... (people that lost their memory and bla bla bla)...

 		One odd thing I found is that 595 is a sum of all of the integers from 1 to 34... But then 20 isn't.
