OK, decided to throw caution to the wind and emailed FCD the translation:

This puts it near Antarctica which bothers me, but that's as good as I could get it. We'll see what their reply is.

Yes, but that matches with Tyler's 2nd vid. I'll buy it.

That line about "Look Carefully Around the corner" is new. I tried zooming the picture in, hihglighting all the text areas and read through the source code, nothing hidden that I could find.

Trout me if necessary here, but I found what "Look carefully around the corner" refers to. At the bottom left corner of the last picture is a tiny hyperlinked dot which leads to a page with more pictures on it.

Excellent find! That page says 'Almost there' so there may be another link.

@pancito - so glad you have my back lately. Stupid me hasn't watched that vid yet. Embarassed

Yep, zoom in on the bottom right and you can see it embedded on the page in tiny form.

The Research and Educational Society, The Ahnenerbe:

Evolution, Essence, Effect.

The Ahnenerbe was an elite Nazi research institute that Himmler had founded in 1935 with a small group of associates. Its name derived from a rather obscure German word, Ahnenerbe (pronounced AH-nen-AIR-buh), meaning "something inherited from the forefathers." The official mission of the Ahnenerbe was twofold. First, the institute was to unearth new evidence of the accomplishments and deeds of Germany's ancestors, as far back as the Paleolithic or Old Stone Age if possible, "using exact scientific methods." Second, it was to convey these findings to the German public by means of magazine articles, books, museum shows, and scientific conferences.

Source

EDIT. The Wikipedia article on Ahnenerbe makes reference to the 38-39 Schafer Expedition which we received all those B&W photos of. Looking more into it now.

In 1935, Heinrich Himmler -- chief of the SS and architect of the death camps -- founded the Ahnenerbe, a research institute that manufactured archaeological evidence to support the notion of Aryan superiority. His team of adventurers, mystics, and reputable scholars was charged with traveling the globe to compile "proof" that a race of blond-haired, blue-eyed conquerors had dominated the world in prehistoric times. The identification of their descendants and the eradication of all others became the cornerstone of the Nazi agenda.

Apparently, Kantsaywhere is continuing this agenda to this day, using an extreme geocaching website to draw in either volunteers or subjects for testing? That's where the pictures from Ilya tie in. But how did Ilya know about the plans of Kantsaywhere?

Got a message of Erika, she's disappointed.

Quote:

I waited for two days to be able to get a computer to read my mail and this is what I get? oh well, I hope that you can get back into contact soon and show me the picture of yours. Everythings fine here, I am listening to the song you sent me, but is not that great.

I guess I am going to play with piguowi and then go to eat. maybe ill sent you a postcard if you ever figure out a good place to stay for a while. I got it all figured out!.

See ya later!

What the hell is piguowi - pinguin?
She wanted also to chat - but I was offline.
I'm breaking my head about the problem, who or what is TYR. I've send encrypted message to Tylor. (OK, he is most apparent NOT a TYR, but if he isn't, he won't do anything with it. Hope, KSW won't fire me, hehe)

Might have something to do with that PINGU ad on ellie's site, but I've been through that thing and couldn't find anything relevant. Fresh eyes might find something, but I just had no luck.

Interesting thought. Although Pingu.net seems to be OOG (is online since 2002), but the connections are really important in this story. And as far as I know, the whole ads on Ellies webpage are simulated ads, so we have to think about it.

Who knows, perhaps Erika idenitfy herself mit a pinguin, because of her lonsome life in snow area... (OK, it sounds silly, forget it)

TYR

Found this on TYR ... It's Nazi runic symbolism

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

Go to wikipedia,,,, the tiwaz rune symbolizes the god TYR and was used by Nazi Germany along with the SOL rune to represent the German think tank "Thule Seminar"

Go to the wikipedia on "Thule-Seminar" to learn more and then click on "Thule" to take you to the disambiguation page to learn is is a place near the "Shetland Islands", the same coordinates on our "Morse Code".

EDIT: or is that too far-fetched

EDIT 2: If not, how then do we "Report ourselves to TYR"?

EDIT 3: Apparently, Tuesday also means TYR's day

wikipedia wrote:

Tuesday is the day of the week between Monday and Wednesday. The name comes from Middle English Twisday, from Old English Tiwes d�g, named after the Nordic god Tyr, who was the equivalent of the Roman war god Mars, and Greek god Ares.

Someone please tell me when to stop lol.

Wow, many things about Tyr.

I also know now, who is Tyr. I chatted with Erika. Very very informative.

(OK, firstly to say, I chatted from my office, and simultaniously I had to
1) scan documents
2) work with photoshop
3) bring materials from storage
4) laminating title papers
5) meet my boss etc. etc. etc.
So my communication wasn't such complete - and I coudln't say to my boss: "Just a minute, I have to chat with Erika from that Nazi-Base in Tibet" Shocked

)

Anyway:

Ich: Erika, I'm in an internet cafe again. Not so long.
how are you? Is everything in Ordnung?
Gesendet um 09:09 am Dienstag
Erika: [smile]
where are you hans?
Gesendet um 16:04 am Dienstag
Erika: oh you left the cafe [frown]
what is a net cafe anyways? a place where you chat and act like you are drinking coffee?
Gesendet um 16:07 am Dienstag
Ich: sorry, can you wat some minutes, pls
[nose smile]
Erika: ok
Gesendet um 16:36 am Dienstag
Ich: Hi Erika, how are you?
Erika: bored
where are you hans
i am worried about you
Ich: thank you, I'm in middle of nowhere,
but I like Germany - they have
net cafe in every little village
Erika: well i am worried because ive heard rumors of people talking about you
maybe you are right that they dont want you
Ich: don't worry, the rumors are almost always a lie. What do they walk, btw?
Erika: since they have been getting unauhtorised messages from random people
someone found the code books
they think that you are working for the communists
well is funny, i found out today that there arent any more communists in russia, but everyone call them that way still
Ich: Well, there aren't exactly communists in Russia
Erika: well everyone calls them like that since the war i think
i dont know much about the world, i am sorry
Ich: ok, there are artefacts of Soviet Union,
some organizations, which aren't so pretty
But don't worry,
they won't harm you
Erika: i dont think they trust you.
they arent going to use the code books anymore since they have been compromised. you didnt tell the russians did you?
please tell me the truth hans
Ich: no, don't worry,
with the Russians I haven't contact
Erika: they got strange messages like "we know who you are"
and "we will not let you win"
so now they are double encrypting messages through enigma
they use the first 3 letters of the date the message is sent
not sure about the numbers. sorry i cant help much, but dont come back here. run away while you can.
Ich: thank you for your worries...
I haven't enough contact to people from Institute last time...
I get only orders,
but I don't know, how is it going there
Erika: lots of things going on
i think i saw one of the machines yesterday
and the usual things
the big day is coming, i am not sure if i should be happy about that
Ich: Do you know the date?
Erika: there are several stages.
i think the first one will occur in 135 days from now
and should start having its horrible efffects a month later
then stage two. but i dont know much.
only tyr knows
Ich: I've to contact Tyr...
They ordered me to report myself
to Tyr...
Erika: that means you must come here
but you must not
they will most likely execute you
Ich: I fear, you're right...
But do you know
how could I contact him pere email?
Erika: him? he doesnt uses email
he is our leader
Ich: Yes, I know it
but I have to think out
another way to report to him...
Erika: i am sorry, i dont know anything about high ranking people. very few people have seen him
ive never seen him
but i am told that there is a part of him in all of us
even me
not sure about you since you are an older generation
do you have any friends hans?
i was thinking of a blog or something
but it might not be a good idea
Ich: Yes, it's great Idea
I mean, you haven't blog abput things
you maynot tell
Erika: i read blogs
people have such wonderful lifes
maybe ill do one, but do it in a way that is secret and hidden
ill see
i have to go now hans.

Summary.

Tyr. Is a leader of KSW, he doesn't use emails and other communicating systems, and only few people have contact to him. Erika say: "i am told that there is a part of him in all of us even me". We can speculate about it, but I think, in context of Eugenic it's very understanding: the genes of Tyr.

Erika. She want to open her blog and ask, whether I have friends. I'll support her and I'll introduce you people to her in the next chats.

Dooms day (sorta). like Erika said, "the big day is coming [...]there are several stages. i think the first one will occur in 135 days from now and should start having its horrible efffects a month later then stage two. but i dont know much. only tyr knows"

Encrypting news. Erika: so now they are double encrypting messages through enigma, they use the first 3 letters of the date the message is sent, not sure about the numbers."

Hans... ehm... me. KSW believes, I'm collaborating with Russians. They think about it because they got a lot of anonymous mails... Hmm...

And, about that mysterious piguowi I'm as clueless as before Smile
