Just got thru with reading DDD. that was.... was... interesting. certainly can visualize a movie for it.

PeterS 01-20-2005 07:37 PM

just 3 loose thoughts guys:
1. the date - being an European I look at the date in a little bit different way. My always put the day first, then followed by the month so 06.01.2005 would make 6th Jan 2005 so sth quite recent. maybe sth important happened on that day - tsunami? cant recall.
2. there was a quation some time ago "all ya that enter here abandon hope" - sth like this. This comes from Dante Allighieri (i am not sure about the last name) brilliant work of the enlightment period "The Divine Comedy". This work is divided into parts - heaven, this place between heaven and hell (dont know the English word) and Hell. The main hero accompanied by a great philisopher (I believe Plato) visits those places. The quote is a sign that has been put at the gates of hell. Some more connections: this quote was recently used in David's Fincher's masterpiece movie "Seven" - said by Morgan Freeman.
As the movie is about a serial killer the conspiration theory lives on :)
3. Some connection between this "one-hand skeleton" and "dance dance dance". In Enlighment period (or maybe medieval times) there was a poetry and literature concept in Europe called "dance macabre" (latin) which means "the dance of death". In many books skeletons would come to social gatherings, kill people and than perform a wicked dance - "dance macabre". As I am positive that this was an influential motive in the same time when Dante wrote his book so that may be a connection.

Just some loose thoughts - I stumbled into this forum today, read it and this is what i Came up with.
Amazing work so far ! Good luck !

i dont really care if it's been posted before, and yea it's my first time posting, but on the page with the picture of the tree, i noticed something different that i dont think anybody else has noticed. there is writing in the upper left hand corner. after messing with gamma, contrast, and different colors, i am left with this, if anybody would like to see it, IM me on aol at c21h30o2foo

this may be a very helpful clue /shrug

after reading through the rest of this thread while i wasn't high, i discovered that everyone already knew about it, heh carry on

Noxicity 01-25-2005 08:45 PM

Vermilion 3 01-25-2005 10:19 PM

Faithii 01-26-2005 08:09 AM

Hmm, good question... it's a little more silent without him. But I've git another question? What happend to the "real, origin" TINP board... it's lost? Not there any more... or does my eyes play games with me? :eyebrow:

OH It's back... "Sehr mysteriös" :gray:

eszja 01-26-2005 10:23 AM

Hey all,
I'm also a victom of TINP, as of Monday I've gotten very little sleep. Anyway after getting through first few pages on my own, I found the cellar fourms. I have not caught up completly as I've only skimmed quickly through the forums, and with the page forks, its a big mess in my brain....

(Well here is my contribution: )

That transalates to:
(We shall extend the empire of Persia such that its boundaries will be God's own sky, so the sun will not look down upon any land beyond the boundaries of what is our own.)


I wrote a little program to help my covert the ascii codes and all. what I did for this text is:
1) A->9, B->8.....J->0
2) Reversed the text (it should now start like: 80 130 246 276 390 504 504 552 747 690 913 1044 1313 1610 1560 1552 1836 ....) (The DCI at the end doesn't belong)
3) then I divided each number by its position: 80/1 130/2 246/3 390/4 ....
4) then ascii to text reveals:
PARENTHESESWeshallextendtheempireofPersiasuchthatitsboundarieswillbeGod APOSTRPHEsownskyCOMMAsothesunwillnotlookdownuponanylandbeyondtheboundaries ofwhatisourownPERIODPARENTHESES

I haven't looked into the meaning of it yet....

The sentance appears on the net in a few places:
1) The Code Book: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography (does this isbn appear anywhere else on the site?)
http://www.randomhouse.ca/catalog/di...3&view=excerpt
2) A more lengthy extract from the book here:

anyway, I guess that where this password was from:

This brings you to the DONT STRAY FROM THE PATH page, which so far has the only worthwhile reward to getting this far, a cool picture of a tree with a face.
