 		432 Mystery
A relatively new "ARG"
Not entirely sure if this will be considered a true ARG, but I believe it contains some of the same elements and has attracted people who work on things like cicada and otp22.

In early October, a cryptic .onion was discovered. It has updated with new images since then. Aside from the images, there's a small amount of text (most of it no longer remains on the site) and some .wav files. The images are intricate pictograms covering a wide range of subjects. We have theories for most of the images but most still need work and we could use some fresh minds to help.

We're not sure how many groups there are working on it now, but those in the group I am in have been working on it since the beginning. We have a wiki set up for anyone interested in getting caught up on our progress (will link at the bottom of this post)

To give you an idea of what we're working with, I will post a couple of the images here and give a quick run down of what we have on them so far.

The Medial Recalibration



Brief summary

On the left is the globe showing a shift of (0,0) where the equator and prime meridian meet as we know it in the Gulf of Guinea to the Giza complex. To the right of that shows the three large pyramids of the Giza necropolis and a simple compass overlaying the Khufu pyramid (giving us a point to shift the 0°0° from the Gulf of Guinea). On the right you'll notice fourteen sets of block shapes. Our theory is that these are coordinates. The circle to the left of each set of blocks gives us the direction (NW, SW, etc) and the blocks gives us the coordinates by multiplying the number of blocks in the left set by the number in the right set.

The Second Lesson

[/u][/b]

Brief Summary

This is our latest image. The underlying "lesson" of the image revolves around the number 9. The two rows of circles on the top half show how 9 is encoded in geometric foundation of everything. The bottom half focuses on Fibonacci and how 9 is encoded in that. The block sequences on the left have values that show the first 48 numbers of the Fibonacci sequence and the patterns that repeats every 12 and 24 numbers in the Fibo sequence. At this point, we have come to the conclusion that the image is intended to iterate the idea that 9 is everything and nothing.

I hope some minds from unfiction will be interested in this. Link to the wiki: http://432hunabku.referata.com/wiki/Main_Page

 		Was looking at the images and was instantly reminded of this, alot of the visuals are similar:

Not sure if mentioned in threads beforehand but it's just something I noticed.

 		Woah. This is cool.

And *BEAUTIFUL.*

This is some very high quality infographic design. Like to be able to so cleanly and sparely communicate these high level scientific concepts without any text at all speaks to me of a *very very* good understanding of graphic design. Not just that, but it's all so precise, balanced and pleasing - graphic design with an high level of understanding of geometry and the geometric principles of design. It's refreshingly well designed as a puzzle too.

This is a pro, I think.

This may be something big. Or at very least, someone who's very talented is involved. The initial message is Cicada-ish which puts me off, but Cicada's imagery was pretty amateurish in comparison.

I'm no good at math and science, and I don't think I'll be going near the dark web, but I'll keep my eye on this just in case.

Edit: Looks like some previous followers of this got doxxed? Sketchy. Might steer clear.
