Then we're still missing something. Maybe a command we don't know yet. We have the data, just need to figure out how to use it.

BTW, great job today everyone!

Another useable command is "Authenticate" which gives back please enter agonothetai codes and biostats, but it seems to not work with the known codes.

What are we supposed to do here? Activating one or all the agonothetai seems to change nothing...

I wonder what is meant with "codes"? This is not a strengh (like "sophrosune696"). This is something else, what refer to various Agonothetai

Now let's think,

We can activate each agonothetai

We should authenticate each or one agonothetai

We could find each or one agonothetai when he/she is authenticated
--------

Then there are the omphalos navigation sites,

maybe the white dots are possible ones, but what makes a omph pending, how do they become active? (Sending somebody to the location maybe?) How can the "codex be located"? [Enter active navigation site for codex location].

I guess I need to read the 3rd Podcast thread again Smile

It's interesting idea.
I suppose, the 12 cities from The Code were the omphalos stations.
So if we know, which city is refered to each of our 6, than we could do it perhaps?...

Agonothe´tai vs. athlete

Not sure if this is the right place, but I don't wanted to make a new thread:

There has been some discussion on the long trailhead thread, if our six friends are olympic athletes or if they are Agonothetai. The variuos trailers suggest that they are athletes and the "secret" definitely call them Agonothetai.

So, did I miss something?

I read on a greek page that the agonothetai could be athletes as well and take part in the games. But, after an incidence of corruption (some agonothetai supported each other to the expence of the other athletes) they could no loger take part in the games.

As you can see from this link
http://www.culture.gr/h/3/eh351.jsp?obj_id=2507[url]
Delfi was considered to be the center of the world or the omphalos. So, maybe we should find the distance of the major Greek sites from delfi or the sities that the 6 amnesiacs were found.

That's interesting. I will update the map with Delphi

So. My firefox browser did something strange.

When entering the secret site it suddenly showed in a little mouse-over box, some words, which I think describes the source of the image. I don't know how to bring it back though, but I remember these words: earth at night visualpharm.

Googling... this is first hit: http://stage.clipmarks.com/clipmark/16BEC15B-42F8-4AE9-9FE6-26956FE94D44/

just the original image used for the site, probably.

Ps: beeing an absolute noob, I'm sorry if I'm pointing out something completely obvious.

What if the omph's are activated by this map...

thinking again, I meassured the distance from delphi (the center) to the york maze where marcus was found - roughly 2491,31km --- if I am not completely numb this is about 13,473.8237 stadions.

Now, how can the rest of the code be entered? I need the "picture" of the angle, and a degree digit between 1 and 30....

Is this worth more thoughts?

****Edit*** More thoughts......

Eli described the situation in his 3rd podcast in the following

Imagine you wake up in ancient greece only with a bow and arrow, would you find your way (or something like this)

Now, our amnesiacs dont wake up with bow and arrow, but blindfolded...
Is any of the zodiacs blind? If yes this would be our rough direction

The 1888 amnesiac remembered the 500number and used this as the stadion number, so 696 is our lenght....

Am I going insane?

additional commands
"terms" - brings up menu, for terms of use popup
"sleep 2" puts it to sleep for 2 seconds (number can change)
"clock" starts a clock

esc exits both the sleep and the clock Smile

If the service for the english layout is already installed at your system (I guess it is standard) then you have to press leftalt+shift to change between your standard keyboard setting and the english one.

If not you have to visit your system settings, go to the region settings and search the page to install the english layout service (Sorry, I don't know the english descriptions of the page so you have to search for yourself a little there)
