Booba is probably right about the AB being GIN and therefore something about "walking", which isn't in the cuneiform index, though. Further, I'm not sure which part of the unicode is Sumerian, which is what we need here.


GIN is one vertical line short of the symbol in the puzzle. So AB might still be a better match. BUT the drawings might not be perfect either, so who knows.


No, it's perfect. It's part of the "water basin". Wink And I think I confused GIN with GEN, anyway.

Edit: Go back to the Sumerian translator and look at the flash cards. You will find all images in there. It's not "days", but "clean/pure".
I can't look at the rest, because my mouse is broken, now...

But it's all taken from those flash cards.
I guess Sotpyrk is about to put something into the water supply.

Ok, got it:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
land
clean/pure
water basin
sacrifice
man

Remember that picture of people thrown into a well? Maybe it's about throwing a diseased person into the basin. Sounds weird, but...

Surprised

You are right, Water Basin is perfect, looks like he pulled the graphic right from the translator. I saw the translator when I was searching, but wasn't able to hit the right words.

I can't believe I missed these tweets:

Sounds to me like John's Defected and joined forces with Sotpyrk. Under what circumstances is the real question.

Abby appears to be looking for John, as he's dropped communication, we've heard nothing from John for several days, and Sotpyrk has indicated that he and John knew each other at some, or still did.

The plot, like old tapioca pudding, continues to thicken.

Since his work in Houston isn't done, maybe I can be of further assistance.

Ok. I see some work was posted whiles I was doing this. Maybe we can put it all together into something.
Using this:

http://etcsl.orinst.ox.ac.uk/edition2/signlist.php

i came up with..... very loosely translated as.....

KU DA.............................. progenitor nature land
UD.UD............................... clean
ZU.AB................................fresh water
AMARXSE.AMARXSE............. to intercede sacrifice
US...................................... death son man
starting to sound real bad Sad

ETA one more time

Wow, great work Abraxas, reversing the generator is the way to go, I was sort of taking the longer route..............

I have to agree with previous posters here and theorize that Sotpyrk is planning to contaminate the water supply somewhere with something. (Likely Z1). that the picture included a shot of water, and what looks like a small landmark for direction finding, it's possible there was a dead drop in that area, but I wouldn't want to send anyone out there in fear of it being a wild goose chase.

This makes sense especially since some of his older pictures showed water supply contamination. (remember the Conquistadors putting dead bodies in the well)

Lookingat his map

Perhaps this has some bearing. The biggest basin of Water is Lake Buchanan below Colorado Bend State Park. Interestingly enough is the Inks Lake state park with its "Devil' Water Hole" area. Lots of Caves and stuff but most seem to be closed to the public now except on special tours.

Sorry booba, I should have done a new post instead of editing the old one. I was too curious what it says to stop just because the mouse was broken. Razz
But it took me longer than I would like to admit to realise that editing the URL is the fastest way to get to all the flashcards... Laughing
Also, I should have spoilered it.

I cannot think straight without a mouse. I wouldn't even use it to place spoiler tags, but it interrupts my entire thought process. Haha.

Is this the same rock formation?

If anyone is in contact with Abbey is it worth finding out if Z1 is able to survive in open water?

I was leaning toward ritualistic altar.

Confirmation:

On a hunch, rather than calling the Houston phone number, I did a reverse search and learned that number belonged to a cell.

So, on the same hunch I sent a text message to that number.

"Have you betrayed everyone? Have you joined the others?"

I got this response a few hours later (roughly thirty minutes ago):

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"I am a vehicle for the prophecy."


Either John's defected, or Sotpyrk has his cell. I'm leaning towards the former.

"He drank from the cup willingly." Could mean that John has intentionally infected himself with Z1. It's possible he could be returning to Houston.

EDIT:

I sent a reply to the number:

"Are you the one who drank from the cup willingly? John are you a carrier now?"

Reply:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

"Not a carrier, but I will do anything to realize the prophecy."


At least he's not infected, but what could "drank from the cup willingly" entail? What does it mean? It has to be more than a simple initiation ritual.

EDIT AGAINS! :3

A third reply to that:

"What is the prophecy? How do you play into it? In what capacity are you a vehicle?"

Reply from John:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
You will see in time. The whole world will see.


I don't think I'll get any farther than the confirmation that John's on Sotpyrk's side now. Looks like a conversation with KJantinwo is the next step, he may have known John.

This is a little farther on the map than want Sotpyrk posted, but the description seems about right:
http://www.utexas.edu/tmm/sponsored_sites/tss/wildcavetours/tsswestcave.htm

"The trail leads from a plateau top overlooking the river into a small but verdant canyon formed by the headward cutting of a creek. A 12-m-high waterfall drops into a deep, green pool that overflows into the creek.
The cave itself is rather small, being only 46 m long with a 2.5-m ceiling and two entrances. Part of the north end has been walled off by travertine deposited by the waterfall. The north end is floored with soil and curves toward the south to a short drop from a window overlooking the shelter behind the mossy waterfall. A series of water-filled rimstone pools gradually rise to the ceiling at the south end of the cave. You only need a small flashlight."
