The Phoenix is depicted on ancient Roman coins as a symbol of the Eternal City
This example of a very scarce bronze ½ centenionalis coin was one of small quantity that were minted for a brief period between 348 and 350 AD. It was issued in the names of Roman emperors Constans and Constantius II, both sons of Constantine The Great, to commemorate the 1100th anniversary celebration of the founding of the old city of Rome on April 21st, 348 AD. On the obverse is found the bust of the emperor, his name and abbreviated titles. The coin’s reverse shows the image of a Phoenix bird perched on either a globe or a mound of stones (pyre) with light radiating from its head, and the inscription FEL TEMP REPARATIO (Latin: Happy Days Are Here Again).

The cracking of the red eggs has its own symbolism, as well. The hard shell of the egg symbolizes the sealed tomb of Christ while the cracking means that the tomb has been broken and that Christ has been resurrected from the dead.

I'm wondering whether the two images are both towards the 1a password, or if they are separate things
sharp flame
it's like a maze haha
pure loom
Here’s an idea for a path of enquiry. The first image was an image of fire. The second one refers indirectly to Poseidon (Aethousa was his daughter in Greek mythology) and we have the symbol for his trident. Poseidon is the god of not only the sea, but water in general. Maybe we’re looking at something relating to the four elements (fire, water, earth and wind)?
sharp flame
We'd need at least one other to confirm
pure loom
True
sharp flame
I think the answer is much closer to "rising from the ashes" than we think
On 27 July 1944, a bomb fragment from an Allied raid started a fire in the Camposanto, which burned for three days, causing the timber lead roof to collapse. The destruction of the roof severely damaged everything inside the cemetery, destroying most of the sculptures and sarcophagi and compromising all the frescoes. An initial effort to rescue the frescoes was organized by Deane Keller of the U.S. Army's Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives program.[2] Pieces of the frescoes were salvaged and a temporary roof was erected to prevent further damage.[2]

this would mean that that word is also this word
tawny mural
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camposanto_Monumentale_di_Pisa
I found another possible connection here. One of the chapels was used by Galileo for study (relating this back to part 1): "The cemetery has three chapels. The oldest ones are the chapel Ammannati (1360) and takes its name from the tomb of Ligo Ammannati, a teacher in the University of Pisa; and the chapel Aulla, were there is an altar made by Giovanni della Robbia in 1518. In the Aulla chapel we can see also the original incense lamp that Galileo Galilei used for calculation of pendular movements. This lamp is the one Galileo saw inside the cathedral, now replaced by a larger more elaborate one"
pure loom
Potentially. It could be both. I don’t think we should discount either. But all the clues so far relate to Greek mythology in some way.
sharp flame
the poison hemlock opens up a pretty interesting route though

I’m also curious why Dusty said have a “nice and relaxing” weekend - it seems deliberate.
Why not just one of those words
mortal ivy
Yeah, rest has been used twice or thrice since the password site went live
sharp flame
interesting, I wonder what the Pisa Griffin has to do with it
mortal ivy
rob:
haha, looks like everyone needs some rest… I will wait before I post ANYTHING more in this channel… ._.

Rest up, my friends! You'll need to save your energy for the hunt

why are there 6 password sites?

maybe they plan to give us 6 images?
sharp flame
Can't do it right now, but have we considered the possibility that the three pieces of the word aren't in that specific order?
could someone check if they add up to another word?
mortal ivy
@sharp flame it appears to be in that order on the statue, and it's also how you find the letters on the ground (left to right)

What about this interesting little piece? Aithousa was one of Poseidons daughters

Ooooo I love this
mortal ivy
Yep, that is the latest we are going with. Especially as the image has a trident in it as well
slender lodge
This padlet is perfec to brainstorm
sharp flame
lmao, there's an asteroid named after Aethusa too
mortal ivy
quiet silo
What I wouldn't give to just be able to walk around the map in game right now lol
sharp flame
that statue was there ingame, right?
yes, it was, okay
the engraving I can't quite make out
might be a mistake but in the art, the thing in her hand is painted out
steady bough
Dundunduuuun
slender lodge
No hand
timid solstice
I can see the hand, but as it’s been said already no towel
timid solstice
It’s been referred to here and in the padlet as a towel
I asked what people meant by towel this morning
Perhaps there’s a Greek story of an invisibility cloak?
timid solstice
looks more like a robe/clothing
But yeah it’s really a dress robe of sorts
Hmm also the original was likely destroyed in a fire
“By the fifth century CE the statue was said to be in the royal collection in Constantinople, along with the cult statue of Zeus from Olympia. Unfortunately, the palace went up in flames. “
sharp flame
It's definitely been mentioned, but the statue looks exactly like the Aphrodite of Knidos
this one isn't real
steady bough
Zues's "pet" was also said to be an eagle
And Poseidons a horse
Which both are animals of the Pisa Giffin
Eagle head, horse ears
mortal ivy
It's definitely been mentioned, but the statue looks exactly like the Aphrodite ...
I took an interest in the statue when the gameplay trailer came out. A few things you already pointed out (that it’s not there irl, and that it’s the statue aphrodite of knidos)
But here are some other observations:
- Aphrodite has her head turned to the hand with the towel in all real world statues, but in TF they made her look the other way.
- There was no inscription on it in game. I went and thoroughly looked during Alpha
sharp flame
I took an interest in the statue when the gameplay trailer came out. A few thing...
Noticed both, I assumed that the head turn is just to differentiate it from Aphrodite.
the inscription is 100% a clue
the trident/psi, I'm 80% convinced, since it could just be something that appears in game
however the Greek connection is super strong
boreal prism
Aethusa, daughter of Poseidon. I remember the trident is in takecover concept art.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aethusa#:~:text=In Greek mythology%2C Aethusa (Ancient,father%20of%20the%20musician%20Orpheus.
Don't get it wrong, my id refers to Sennheiser Orpheus HE I hahaha
slender lodge
the inscription is 100% a clue
For sure it can't be a coincidence anymore haha
sharp flame
Same letters
Nearly, I'm iffy on the i
slender lodge
Well it's still an i
But the accent might be diff
Weird how one accent to another on one letter can change the meaning entirely
sharp flame
Weird how one accent to another on one letter can change the meaning entirely
It's the only reason I'm iffy about it
the safest bet would be to consider both
Don't know if the fire images connect
sharp flame
well I was thinking that
slender lodge
True!
sharp flame
after all, one is Latin-centric, the other Greek
we should assume both are solvable on their own before trying to connect them
slender lodge
Yep
I guess there'll be a natural connection if there's one
I don't wanna force a connection
sharp flame
because at this rate (2 concepts for 1 part)
there'll be 24 concepts to release for just Tier 1+2
sharp flame
I really think that 1A and B are both solvable, if not the entire A-F
sharp flame
this could all just be what we get for Tier 1
slender lodge
It's gonna be so hard tho
Checking 1 password 5 times
Rip chrome users
W Firefox users
sharp flame
checking every password
slender lodge
Mekwjjwjw
sharp flame
and they've stopped giving out x's
sharp flame
and maybe one of the 100+ attempted passwords was correct, but just misspelled
or uncapitalized
slender lodge
Yeahhh
sharp flame
or maybe it was the answer for 1B instead of 1A
sharp flame
lots of ways that we can miss the mark hahaha
I assume if we say
I think the answer is "Pisa"
slender lodge
I'm sure it's in the pic which one goes to which tho
I doubt they would make us gurss
sharp flame
they'll react like that
slender lodge
Tru
Maybe this time around it's a different sign
To tell us were right
Who knows
I think we're still at 5% of tier 1 lmao
sharp flame
lmao, we'd need any sign really
sharp flame
I think 1A and B are both out there
slender lodge

@proud minnow can we ask if the password page is case sensitive? (I just don’t want to have a correct answer rejected)
slender lodge
Yess ,^^
sharp flame
^^ this
slender lodge
A part of me still feels like there are links involved
Maybe the password is some encrypted gibberish that is seen in a link
sharp flame
there has to be at least one website link between us and the answer
or maybe not
this is gonna take a while..
my brain needs a break
pure loom
lmao, there's an asteroid named after Aethusa too
That’s interesting given the meteorite shower in the image
slender lodge
Ooohh
sharp flame
That’s interesting given the meteorite shower in the image
Considering loads of asteroids are named after Greek/Roman mythology, and that Meteor shower is a preestablished game mechanic, I don't think my idea holds much merit in all honesty

Technically, it should be called a meteorite shower. Meteors burn up in the atmosphere

the pure clues we have are:

someone go through the entire list again and double check

i think we haven't gone too off the rails yet, so they arent steering us back

YES
a part of jesus' Crown of Thorns and the Cross are kept in the same complex as the Pisa Griffin
also Jesus <--> rebirth
slender lodge
thought I found something new
NICE, NNN
sharp flame
maybe Christianity just had a widespread influence and managed to make its way into both clues
but STILL
it's something
sharp flame
the fire aspect of oriri ex cinere can be explained as it was posted with a picture of literal fire
so we could just choose to focus on the rebirth part of it

I'm still stuck on Jesus since it's an Easter egg

would they give us clues to the other passwords before we even figured out the first one?

although that was more towards direct tricks/diversion, like troll clues that are to confuse/lead to nowhere

if we look at αίθουσα as Poseidon's daughter, we get nowhere since there isnt really any info on her imo
unless
shes related to Atlas
and another meaning of atlas is World map
which kinda correlates with gps

“The word aethusa was used as an epithet for a portico that was open to the sun, that is, Apollo.” I wonder if this relates to that sunbeam in the cathedral
pure loom
The long thing
In the cathedral? Did it have a special name?
“Celebrations for the Pisan New Year begin 25 March in the Cathedral when around midday a ray of sun comes in through a window (the so called Golden Window) reaching a spot near the high altar.”
From another website: “a ray of sunlight penetrates the Duomo and hits a marble egg resting on a shelf placed on a column next to the pulpit by Giovanni Pisano.”
The marble egg seems too good to be true
