Sometimes Rob adds like a condition at the end of the urls to make the images smaller, and that stays when you download it. You need to manually remove it to get the normal size 🤷

So even if the image is 400x400, the image you see will be displayed as 150x150, unless you remove the additional condition

79th parallel north

The 79th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 79 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane, in the Arctic. It crosses the Atlantic Ocean, Europe, Asia, the Arctic Ocean and North America.
At this latitude the sun is visible for 24 hours, 0 minutes during the summer solstice and astronomical twilight during the winter solstice.

Nemesis (hypothetical star)

Nemesis is a hypothetical red dwarf or brown dwarf, originally postulated in 1984 to be orbiting the Sun at a distance of about 95,000 AU (1.5 light-years), somewhat beyond the Oort cloud, to explain a perceived cycle of mass extinctions in the geological record, which seem to occur more often at intervals of 26 million years.

Here's something I've been digging into
two paintings by Salvador Dali

geopoliticus-child-watching-the-birth-of-the-new-man.png
#

The first is Geopoliticus Child Watching the Birth of the New Man

#

featuring man clawing himself from an egg

#

but in the background

#

there are two figures

#

and they come from a different painting

#

The Marriage of the Virgin by Raphael

#

This theme of marriage of the virgin (Mary)

#

is sourced from the Golden Legend

#

The other painting by Dali
The Madonna of Portlligat

image.png
#

featuring Madonna (VM) and child

#

above them, an egg hanging from a shell

#

but

#

Dali actually made another version of this painting

I always have no idea what I'm looking at when I come into this channel

and the image of Virgin Mary has been replaced by the likeness of Dali's Wife, Gala.

crude topaz

im back, is it solved yet?

uneven trail

no🐒

tulip matrix
#

Ok so my overarching theory on this tier has something to do with cycles or periods or ratios

#

something like that

#

precession is definitely confirmed

#

but I think it's deeper than that

#

Precession is "coming to something early" as Rob and Dusty mentioned

#

such as the precession of the equinoxes

#

which has to do with parallax and retrograde orbits and eccentricity

#

oh and also Axial precession causes the "crown" of polestar to change over time

crude topaz
#

almost need a theory paper lol

tulip matrix
#

meaning in about 3200 years the "north star" will move from Polaris to Gamma Cephei

#

so I guess GC will become the "successor" to Polestar

#

like a lineage

#

This also relates to Milankovitch cycles

#

which is a change over time in the climate of the Earth due to the shape and orientation of the Earths orbit

crude topaz
#

how does snow, ice titanic and thelford connect to this theory, sorry if its a bothersome question

tulip matrix
#

Milakovitch cycles can be determined by analyzing Ice Cores

crude topaz

titanic might be just pointing to ice then

#

runes are not solved yet?

yeah I'm not sure about that one yet

@fallen jasper and @pure loom Here's a more revised version of my earlier guide. After dropping kids of to school and having breakfast, I'll try to create some images that shows off the functions and what clues they could uncover in images:

#

If you're interested in getting into The Finals Easter Egg hunting, there are some cool tools and tricks you can use to uncover hidden messages in digital images.

For example, you can use websites like Stegonline* and Forensically* to analyze images and look for clues that might be hidden within them.

Stegonline's most useful features are LSB Half and Browse Bit planes.
LSB Half checks the least significant bit (LSB) of each pixel in an image and identifies any differences that could indicate hidden data.
Browse Bit planes allows users to browse through different bit planes of an image and see the values of each bit.

Forensically's features include, among others, Noise Analysis, Luminance Gradient, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA).
Noise Analysis analyzes an image for patterns of noise, which can indicate areas that have been digitally altered.
Luminance Gradient analyzes an image for changes in brightness or contrast, which can indicate areas that have been digitally altered.
PCA breaks down an image into its component parts and identifies any areas that deviate from the norm.

You can also use photo editing software like Photoshop (or Gimp) to play around with an image's brightness, color, and other features to see if you can uncover anything hidden. This can be a fun and creative way to approach ARG puzzles and clues, as well as getting real life understanding for image manipulation.

#

To uncover hidden messages in the EE images, it's important to not only use these tools but also to think creatively and look for patterns and clues within the data. Whenever you encounter something weird, like a pattern or a string of numbers, you need to try to figure out if you recognize the pattern. Does it look like coordinates, is it binary, can it be an anagram and so on and so forth. It's only by doing and trying out stuff you'll begin to pick up on patterns and different ciphers. By combining these techniques with creative thinking and problem-solving skills, you'll be well on your way to becoming an expert deteggtive player.

If you're just starting out with ARGs and want to learn more, I would recommend that you visit the Game Detectives Academy*. It's a free online academy that offers courses and tutorials on different aspects of ARGs, like puzzle-solving and storytelling.

@sharp flame For snowflake, maybe it's a reference for Aomori, Japan's the snowiest city in the world. According to google doc said it still unsolved.

yes, and one more

Also H20 is a v-shape. I cant help it but it kept saying 'pair'.

Off Point: I asked my little brother and he said maybe snowflake is Blizzard Entertainment Company (Developers)? I mean Embark Rob is devs too.

I don't think it would be a connection like that, unless Rob wanted us to link snowflake to Frostbite(engine)

That's funny, he and I did mentioned Frostbite too.

Been playing around with 206888:

  • cacora > Vodlemol Cacora, Goa, India
  • caeroo > cartoon?
  • caerra > google fixed the name and led me to sunglasses company

i found the pixel in this picture

so i count the pixel between them i got 2 67 2 7 23 67 71 2 43 71

That's a really good find!

Thomas Young (scientist)

Thomas Young FRS (13 June 1773 – 10 May 1829) was a British polymath who made notable contributions to the fields of vision, light, solid mechanics, energy, physiology, language, musical harmony, and Egyptology. He was instrumental in the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs, specifically the Rosetta Stone.
Young has been described as "The Last ...

#

..contributions to the fields of vision, light..
did work on interference too

#

He was instrumental in the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs, specifically the Rosetta Stone.

#

Rosetta stone is in the book 'The Earth as a distant Planet'

#

And there is that 79 + Spectroscopy connection which is pretty strong up there

#

also if Amun (windgod) is valid then we have Egyptian strengthening the Rosetta thingy

#

oh and Thomas is in the Royal Academy

#

yo!

#

actual connection

#

Rosetta performed a detailed study of comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko (67P)

#

Rosetta + COMET

#

gonna stop myself so we can decide whether this is even valid or not

south wyvern
#

Is Rosetta program coming from NASA? Correct me if wrong.

It's definitely the space between

all the dots are 2-wide except for the 2 ends, which are 1 pixel

While we wait for more validation. Shouldn't we take a quick look at the comet first images by ESA?

I'm on mobile.

Hope the Rosetta path is a thing 🙏

And we have light diffraction stuff

oh and this too

so yeah I think he's in

#

Also this line from the Rosetta Stone Wikipedia page: “The term 'Rosetta Stone' is now used to refer to the essential clue to a new field of knowledge.”

sharp flame

#

Hmmm… maybe our unsolved codes are repeated across clues so we can decipher the unsolved code’s key?

sharp flame
#

while also catching the Egyptian theme (weaker) and also the Light Diffraction stuff

sharp flame
pure loom
#

We have some codes we never solved

sharp flame
#

😭

pure loom
#

There was one where Rob said we’d eventually work it out “but today is not that day” - maybe because we needed the equivalent of the Rosetta Stone

pure loom
#

Without the same codes being next to each other, like the Rosetta Stone, it’ll be hard to work out which ones match. Maybe we could check code lengths, but even that might not be consistent.

#

Or, maybe we haven’t even seen the Rosetta Stone for codes yet.

#

I tried “r0setta” and “r0settast0ne” as passwords. Also “ge0cache” which I think was the only other password we had with an “o” in it.

sharp flame
#

I just think the Rosetta stone is a decent fit with our theme too

pure loom
#

I’ll check out some of the previous clues when I’m at my PC to see if any could provide a “Rosetta Stone” to unsolved codes.

sharp flame
#

as the idea of it being a blueprint which is the origin for other copies
