i tried to make a phonetic transcript... and have determined that I suck.
http://olympics.wikibruce.com/Find_The_Second_Ring
Other than the words I recognize like omphalos, stadia, I see some repeated phrases.
We are trying to match up my transcript to the two translations above, to see what we still need.

On a recommandation from Mr. Azarian, from the Tebrotzassere Armenian school, I called the following :

- INALCO, institute for learning of eurasian languages. Waiting on news from the head of the department.
- the Armenian Library in Paris. No one picked up the phone.
- the Institute for Armenian studies. No one picked the phone.

Fingers crossed !

Here is what I've sent to people I've asked to translate:

[sapagoo]

Meanwhile, I'm trying to find the 2nd ring with what we've got.

Assumptions from the translations:
Omphalos 3
8644 Stadia (unknown direction) to first stop.
2176 Stadia Ares 12 to second stop.

Osaka, Japan is 8644 Stadia from Dongying (omphalos 3)
Tokyo is 2176 Stadia Ares 12 from Osaka.

Tokyo has a National Science Museum.

I want to
1 - calculate direction from dongying to Osaka.
2 - overlay a 26 stadia labyrinth on top of Tokyo, where the opening starts at the National Science Musuem, in the direction of Aphrodite.

EDIT - Dongying to Osaka is Artemis 11.
The translation has the 11. And I think I hear Artemis.

Since we need to swap out voice mails...
I used Audacity to swap some numbers and directions.

The current voice mail says
Start from omphalos 3.
Go 8644 stadia in the direction of Artemis 11
Then 2176 stadia ares 12 to the Ring.
Make your labyrinth in the direction of Aphrodite.

I changed it to read

Start from omphalos 12.
Go 8644 stadia in the direction of Aphrodite 21.
Then 1176 stadia ares 3 to the Ring.
Make your labyrinth in the direction of Artemis.

I think.

Which should start them at parapare (or blois), and then send them west instead of east.

PS. Can someone else upload this to the voice mail?
PPS. And ask James to delete the original?

Mrs Donabedian replied, with a complete and quite accurate translation !

Sapagoo had it basically figured out. The numbers should be 8644 stadia, 2176 stadia and 21.183 stadia. (It would be like saying "eighty-six forty-four" which sounds like 86 comma 44)

So, if you start in Dongying (Omphalos #3) and travel 8644 stadia Artemis 11, you end up near Osaka. Then, if you go 2176 stadia Ares 12, you end up in Tokyo.

As Sapagoo pointed out, Tokyo has a National Science Museum. The entrance is located at 35.716461N, 139.776226E

So it sounds like we need a 7-circuit labyrinth that is 26.183 stadia wide at that location. [EDIT: oops, I just noticed the 21/26 discrepancy. Hrm.]

Hi evryone, I live far from Tokyo, but today again, I'll go to Tokyo on a business trip, but I'm not available in the daytime, so I'll ask people in Noriko's forum. There seem several galleries around the point suggested by Ariock, e.g. Ayumi Gallery etc.

In the meantime I tried to figure out the location of the national museum of science.

Unfortunatley there are several museums in Tokyo dedicated to science:
National Museum of Nature and Science
National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation
Science Museum
Museum of Maritime Science

But I guess No 1 is the correct on ( link ), which is located near Uena Park: 7-20 Ueno Park, Taito-ku, Tokyo 110-8718

After some research I found this map:

Thanks, Ariok, for the map. So I did not have to figure out the´width and direction.

I tried to put a 7-circuit into your map (unfortunately I do not know how to make this directly in a fast way in Google Maps).

I assumed that the Entrance is "At the first turn on the left" like written in the message. Still do not know where the location can be.

BTW. I do not understand your assumption about possible locations.
