Also, I've tried translating the glyphs on the wall shown in the trailer. I don't think it's possible with the information we have. There are at least 30 different glyphs and all sections contain none or little repetition, so they probably represent words instead of characters.

Some rough work thanks to MSPaint (go ahead and laugh). Pleiades is probably the right place to look, considering that the stars of the various ancient images match most closely to those of the Pleiades, accounting for star movement (over the course of centuries, stars appear to move based on the fact that the Earth revolves around the Sun, which revolves around the Milky Way).

Except you seem to only have five stars marked there.

I know. Those are the five stars marked in the screencap. Just an idea.

So lets do a quick recap:

7 Seems to be commonly popping up.
7 Sisters
7 Verticals of Weyland Industries
7 Kingdoms/Civilizations (including Eridu?) -

Memphis agricultural region
western NILE DELTA

destruction excavation site B
central TEOTIHUACÁN

early Sumerian settlement
lower ERIDU

North Island
EILEAN A' CHEO' - Cuillin region

ancient cultural region
central-southern MESOPOTAMIA

central ANATOLIA fields
south western UGARIT

ONE ALI'I park region
refugio sanctuary HONAUNAU

Something I didn't see, but someone said this was on twitter:
When the kingdom of heaven descended, the kingdom was in the right place. Go find your reward.
And
The 7 Pillars of Wisdom? - TE Lawrence reference - someone who Peter Weyland seems to like to quote (TED talk starts off with a quote).

245409 reference to HD 245409, the eye of orion(?) where a cosmic call was sent in 2003. Also, Orion relates to the 7 sisters, as he always has his "eye" on them, right?

It's closer than we think?

You forgot the date of the TED Talk, 2023 (2+ 0+ 2 + 3 = 7), and the fact that Peter Weyland was born in October 1st 1990, making him a Libra (7th zodiacal sign).

The first mention of Project Prometheus is in 2017.

WEYLAND REVIVES JIMO
Using capital from his 2015 success, Weyland acquires copyrights to technology developed by NASA's innovative but poorly funded Project Prometheus. With Weyland's significantly augmented funding for the project, JIMO became a reality and proves the existence of simple life in Europa's ocean.

I'm certain it's nothing but I swear that's changed. It said something about the factor that he upped the investment by. Oh well.

I don't mean to belittle the work of others but I think it's a bit of a leap to start adding together dates to total other numbers. It's verging on numerology. Confused

David 8 Video
I don't think it's a barcode...

New poster here.

I took the best screen shot of the David 8 video that I could.

The label on the plastic bag has what looks like a barcode, and a symbol of a triangle at the end of a line. I thought the orientation of the triangle might suggest rotation counter clockwise.

That doesn't look like a barcode... it looks alphanumeric.

Too fuzzy to get a good look at though.

What do the rest of you think?

I've been working on highlighting and then dragging images into the password box. If you highlight an image from a random unconnected website (or various images from around the weylandindustries website) the entire password box fills up with circles. However, if you highlight the blue "Project Prometheus | Weyland Corp" box directly above the login box it comes up as only a single closed circle. This is the only image that I've found this to be the case for. Using it alone to login still gives Access Denied, but maybe it's a combination of images? That would go along with the "it's closer than you think" message. Just a thought...

I spent the better part of yesterday trying to get a clear shot of that barcode/whateveritis..

While it does look like some kind of alphanumerical sequence, there was no way to enlarge it enough without losing focus to decipher it..

They put it there for a reason., but its not readable by any apps I own..

We may have already hit the password and not know it if its case sensitive .. Jus one misplaced capital letter and kaboom..

I wonder if the three orange dots on the circular lock mean anything?


I get the same vibe about those. I looped them manually for the last 10 min... Wish I had a strobe light on it or something. The color seems to be 'clinging' on certain points or my eyes are getting tired.

Re: David 8 Video
Closer look at it

I see some 3's, maybe some M's, maybe a "P"...

Guys, could you check your spam folders? I received a FOX email but I flushed it before even reading it, before realizing my mistake...
Just to clear any possible doubts.
