 		[META SITE] Trailer #5 is live!
The 5th and final trailer spot at http://www.thelostring.com/index.html has been filled. It is revealed that Ariadne must go to Beijing...but she seems reluctant to do so, as she is wondering about how she will get home.

EDIT: I just realized that the trailer reveals Ariadne's real name!!!

 		Do you think the six (!) rings shown at the beginning and end of the trailer correspond to Hendrik van Waalen's original design?

Alex=Alexandra/Alexandria? Another connection to Theodosius?

According to the English Wikipedia,
Quote:
In 388 he (Theodosius) sent a prefect to Syria, Egypt, and Asia Minor with the aim of breaking up pagan associations and the destruction of their temples. The Serapeum at Alexandria was destroyed during this campaign. In a series of decrees called the "Theodosian decrees" he progressively declared that those Pagan feasts that had not yet been rendered Christian ones were now to be workdays (in 389). In 391, he reiterated the ban of blood sacrifice and decreed "no one is to go to the sanctuaries, walk through the temples, or raise his eyes to statues created by the labor of man". The temples that were thus closed could be declared "abandoned"," ...


And according to the German Wikipedia (my translation):
Quote:
A grave incident occured in 391 AD: In Alexandria there had been bloody conflicts between Christians and heathens, probably instigated by Patriarch Theophilos. Some heathens had entrenched themselves in the well-known themple of Serapis, forced Christians to sacrifice and crucified some of them. Theodosius forgave the murders, in order to calm down the situation, but ordered the temple to be destroyed, led to Theophilos destroying even some other temples.


I'd love to take a closer look at that office wall of Eli's with all those notes ...

 		Sorry, where are those "trailer spots"? We're not talking about the splash page trailer, but about something on the mind map thing?

Click yourself past the first trailer, then choose the one marked "V." (the lowest) from the menu bar on the left side.

 		Thanks you! It's funny, I'm following this thing mostly from reading this forum, and never really look to the IG sites, so I realize how unfamiliar I am with those ...

Thanks again!

 		ok , so looking throught the video pausing at certain points i found somthing very intresting..

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

at 0.07 min "when u are ready"

at 0.52 sec the map shows "new yourk NY USA"

at 1.21 min the word "data" is shown, wiht the D is purple and the last A in blue
at 1.23min(thumb too with scroll) u get this "look to del, to recei ed"

at 1.23min(hit play/pause 2 twice) u get thus "delphi"

so as far as i can figure it says "when your ready look to delphi to receive ......ed"
there are other letters but i cant make sence of them


pictures on request. i'll post them when this becomes common knowlage

matt

 		You have a good eye...there is indeed a message there. We have determined that it is "When you are ready to receive data, look to Delphi." See the first point on the page breaking down trailer #1...there is also a link there to some screen grabs.
