Base64 -> text

The Theta is similar to an Egyptian symbol that represents the Sun, and the Mu was derived from the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for water. So the Sun equals Ra...and the water equals Naunet? Or maybe Poseidon? When combined this "watcher" symbol establishes that the Order rules and watches over all that exists in between.

Theta is the 8th letter, Mu is the 12th. So that's one more 12, but the 8 = ?.

Theta was also used as an abbreviation for "Thanatos," and considered a warning of death.

Graecum
est
non
potest
legi

is the name of the folder reversed (the capital at the end suggests it should be reversed)

is this another language? an anagram?

[PinkoLady]

That looks like Latin...

And it is, it means:

It is Greek it cannot be read

[islandlove]

Graecum est; non potest legi--It is Greek; it cannot be read



its latin

[Opladybug]

It can not be read. To tell is the file was a pic?

It's Greek. It cannot be read.

That's what the quote means in Latin.

i hate to say that i am really disappointed in what the results were

[kalika]

[sphinx]

riiiiiiiiight...and daniel's going to do what with that?

It wasn't meant for Daniel, it was meant for Bree. Daniel intercepted the package and has been keeping it secret.

sooo,what have we learned?

Not exactly. He made a video about it and posted it. Considering that Bree's posted a video of her own since then, it's safe to say she knows.

for the second pic, the circle with a dot in it has been a solar symbol for ages and is currently used as the symbol for the sun in astrology and other sundry concepts.

Symbol for the sun, huh? I'm sure trainer's going to be pleased about this.
