PS been lurking along for a while here but haven't been too vocal since ciw stole my soul!

Ya, me too

The only things of note I've noticed so far which need to be lsited:

- both pictures (background) are of the same things, one pic has slightly different colouring/watermarks over it, but they are both the same basic pic (ran them under every filter, but don't get anythig. Sometimes I think I see a face in the middle though)

- All the symbols are in focus except the watcher symbol in the picture 4c4947415455524553.jpg in the bottom left: that one is fuzzy and out of focus. My first guess was to shrink the image until the watcher symbol in both pics was the same size then overlay the 2 weatchers symbols, but it didn't come up with anything.

- maybe, since the backgrounds are the same, we're meant to merge the 2 pics?

Anyway, I'll keep on playing just in case!!

(BTW: EXCELLENT work on the puzzles guys! )

There is a girl's face in the right middle of the background of the LIGATURES image.

The background of both images has parts of this girl's image (vertical on right hand side).

I'm working on enhancing the JPEGS.

EDIT: bah! nothing I have is working ... I think it may involve merging the two images as suggested elsewhere.

Sharpening on the LIGATURES image does help some, as does reducing the RED hue a bit.

there's definitely something going on to the right of the watcher symbol too
and also across the top, there's 2 horizontal lines with some kind of symbols in between

Does anyone else see this?

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this or if it's relevant.

Jonas's parents disappeared 6 years ago. he's 19 now, meaning he'd be around 13 or 12 depending on if they disappeared before or after his birthday that year.

Oh and the letter that is merged with Sigma Looks the most like Gimel, a Letter from the Phoenician alphabet. Not greek anymore but it does represent the Number 3 and Gamma was derived from it. So you know food for thought.

Yeah I see it too...can't make it come out to anything readable though

It's an interesting pic, and there are definately different layers to the background, there's a face, there those symbols you mentioned, there's a fuzzy larger symbol to towards the bottom right, I even think I see a stylized flower drawn in there?

The colours too.... all in the yellow red tone range. Tried inverting, tried sharpening, tried everything I can think of! Oh, someone who deals with pictures professionally, please help!

Has anyone tried to layer the two pictures together? The symbols of the order as both blurred on each picutre, so I am thinking 2 things.

A. Layer them to get the full picture

2. Find a way to manipulate the pictures until the symbol is no longer fuzzy.

I do not have a program to do that.... or I am not smart enough to figure out how to do it on my computer...lol.

I found a skull in one of the pictures and circled it

I am also messing around with the pictures!

Anyone else see at the left bottom corner a man in a hat and in the right side possible the outline of a boy praying?

Ziola · Post by **Ziola** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 9:59 pm

I'm not sure what is in the right bottom corner of the first picture...I've been looking, but the damn symbol gets in the way. On the second picture in the bottom right hand corner there is a skull. And the center image in both pictures appears to be the full moon or a different planet to me...
