I split the #2 Austin discussion into its own thread as with 27 artifacts, this thread is going to xplode.

Just as well - not sure why the omphaputer results were being posted in this thread anyway. Shouldn't they be going back in the Secret Site thread?

Or, as Weezel started - separate threads for major sites and the things they lead us to? As long as that doesn't chop up the discussion too much, might work.

Excellent reseach! It surley must be him - the athletes built upon the work of Szmurlo to try to make it easier for the teams that came after them to achieve a common understanding more quickly. (And then built a web app 60 years before the internet to facilitate things. )

But please try to post this stuff in a relevant thread, gang! This is the thread about Eli Hunt's bronze artifact and the english message he found in it.

Ariadne's videos have a thread of their own. (Granted, at the moment that thread has also wandered OT into translating the codex, but you can help get it back on point!)

You also have the option, if you think a new game concept is developing, to start a new thread.

Not sure how relevant this is, but the second page really sounds to me like some sort of a test. Like a "check all that you would say are true about yourself" test. Plus the bit at the top about knowing one's strengths, I think that the second page is at least part of a test to figure out which of the sixth traits you match up with. Of course, we don't have the test key.

Here you can find more information about the "MINOAN SNAKE GODDESS"

It was discovered in 1903 by the British archaeologist Arthur Evans (Sir Arthur Evans after 1911) in the so-called Temple Repositiories on the site of the "palace" of Knossos on the Aegean Island of Crete.

Are we being asked to believe that Pheidias, while working on the multistory statue of Zeus from his workshop in Olympia around 430 BC, took some time to cast a bronze copy of a type of small Minion ceramic snake goddess/ votive that had been made in around 1600 BC? Surely not? Are we asked to believe that researchers in the Olympia Archaeological Museum actually made that statement about the bronze piece that young Eli Hunt found, knowing it wasn't true? Are the researchers still in the business, there in Olympia, of suppressing evidence of the lost sport?

Are we supposed to believe that Eli Hunt, our amateur historian, and greek artifact buff, doesn't question this claim about his find, object that matches one with "canonical status in art history books." Does he pass the responsibility for questioning those researchers on to us? Or is it that he is reporting an event that never happened?

If a bronze artifact, not made by Pheidias, was planted in Olympia with the message inside, when would this have happened? No earlier than 1904, when the discovery of the Minoan Snake Goddess was published, and maybe right around the time of our postcards and codex writers? It would be part of the message, that figurine, putting the human labyrinth back into Olympia.

During my research for "Ariadne's Dance" (especially together with "Knossos") I come several times across the Snake statue Eli found at Olympia.

I do not know if this was already posted somewhere:

There is a theory that the snake goddess is Ariadne!

You can easily find several pages for this theory, but here is a wikipedia quote :
