[speculation]

haven't spent much time on this after my last post. but thought it worth noting that there's a space between words on the top line:
ELLLA EIILL

the second line appears to be mirroring the top line up until it gets truncated by the sphere and extended the dash:
ELLLA

if these are phonemic (pronunciations) of 'foreign' words, then here's a few things up for more speculation:

ella eile

ella - (spanish) she. one from heaven, (german) all,
"Ella is a Norman form of the Germanic name Alia, which comes from an element meaning "other; foreigner." (source link below)

eile - other, another, second, beyond (scottish gaelic)

sources:
http://www.irishgaelictranslator.com/translation/topic89331.html

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/eile
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ella



and the footer looks like a longboat ship at times where you play with the levels.

lastly, as another possibility, the resource key items with the dots above them could be linked. the highlighted letters C, Co, Cu have other coloured pixels which may or may not be significant in telling us how to adjust the levels.

I really hope the SJ doesn't turn out to be related to that wild hair guy from the History Channel Razz
Seriously though, you think Von Danicken ( sp) is a good lead?

big things have small beginning.... atoms, elements? The Aecibo message used it. It also used binary for coding.

So what if we tried to read that element table and the string on the right as binary? Like on the wikipage.

Would it be possible to clean up the images of the little symbols above each element on the left, and fit the same symbols on the right into a coherent grid? That might help us understand what we're looking at.

The Jig is Up!

Maybe we should start looking for a new ARG.

I still suspect that we're as far along as the ARG as the PMs want us... for now.

Given past games, anytime a brilliant group of players like here on uF (myself excluded) get so stymied in game progress, it's most often because there aren't new clues available to be found yet.

It's a good bet that the studio/filmmakers want the PROMETHEUS game to end at a time that's most advantageous to marketing the film. These ARGs don't run at their own speed as a race to solve it as fast as possible, then lay there dead for 6 weeks before the film opens.

Is waiting around boring? Sure. Could they have designed more game elements to keep players busy longer? Seems so now. I highly doubt they designed these doldrums into the game, so *if* we're ahead of schedule, they can't really rush ahead to please a few ARG players. The game serves the movie, not the other way around.

We can only hope that the game will ramp up in activity and quantity as we draw closer to June. We're into April now, so that's a good line to cross.

Hey, MAD MEN is finally back. Pour a drink and relax, enjoy the wait. Smile
