Mayan could be possible. But the Maya wrote numbers differently; turned 90°. Also there is never a dot below a bar.

Edit:
Nevermind, there is.... -|- (turned 90°) could mean 121

Resisting the urge for numerology, 26 obviously is another Important number for us, if we're talking about the latin alphabet.

This idea also offers a potential explanation for why the top symbols use '- |' and the bottom symbols use '. |'.

I don't know - it's not a definite by any stretch, and I'm still leaning more towards the binary interpretation but, perhaps, with some dual-meaning; but it might be interesting to see qhere this leads. Perhaps rotating the image when reading that part to make them work as mayan might work.

Seriously - I want to say 'pfft!' but I've been caught out before, as have we all! :0

Sorry I take an hour to type and didn't see that till now. Holy... well you know. DID I ACTUALLY FIND SOMETHING? I'm actually kinda excited!

concerning mayan numbers:

-|- = 121
.|| = 11 or 201 (depends on the way you read it)
|-- = 7 and 102 when read the other way around.


Could really be coordinates then. Maybe worth a try.

also note that the highest number that can be expressed with 3 (single) symbols in mayan is | | | = 2105, which can be easily misunderstood for 15, which is the same symbold with less space between the |||

guys, it is really important to use the correct words..

I thought UP were to be found floating around and now I realised Sandro words were: "[convoys] are the hard way".

I assume there is either other pois or ships carrying them that are easier to handle than a military convoy, could even be a religious congregation or another group of ships, it doesn't have a be a free floater.

It's *possible* - don't get too excited :)

And it's only a small part of a large pic with lots of content in it - very little of it do we actually understand.

For this to be worth sticking with or entertaining for longer - we need unambiguous ways to interpret these symbols as numbers via the mayan system; and some plausible explanation for why they're rotated.

Otherwise, as people say, it's no more valid than interpreting it as a sausage and two eggs. ;)

Haha, yeah, as I wrote in the post (edited it) the numbers can also read differently depending if you read them with more space inbetween or not. But let's stick with the easyest possibilities.

Here the link again to the maya number converter to play around a bit:

Indeed. This kind of exculde mayan numbers as a possibility as there is no way to fit -|- in.

begin mini rant :

This thread is quickly becoming like the formidine rift thread #2, huge noise, low signal. If a hypothesis is not testable, it's useless.
So are half-formed "theories" based on lore and speculations on what is happening behind the scenes of the storyline. (I know it's fun
and stuff, but really it does not help).

Dude - it's *normal*.

There's always been crackpot ideas flying around - and there always will be.

What we have in front of us is inherently ambiguous.

Right now I'm thinking (and not without gopd reason - i.e. MB himself) the right answer, or something very close to it, is already in this or the second half of the last thread - but without more UPs to study and someone recording this curious 6 minute audio it's going to be hard to move forward.

So right now we're still at spaghetti-on-the-wall stage because of a lack of raw data.

I do, for the record, though, think we're still making too many mental leaps from the raw facts of the image and straight to what we want it to mean.

There's data in that image that we haven't identified yet - in the minutiae. And that left image, being the first if read left-to-right - is a big part of it, imho.

Maybe the numbers aren't rotated, but we'relooking at the diagram rotated! Maybe left to right is actually top to bottom?

Mayan numbers?


With respect, to me that seems like a stretch considering they use morse-code and embed images in spectrographs but then use Mayan numbering system of all things?

The likeness to the Voyager plaque is uncanny. Pi is a universal fact of geometry/circles, and the numbers when taken in little endian binary/base2/Voyager-plaque-encoding approximate Pi to 3 decimal places. The orbits in merope are pretty much exactly circular so I think that the use of Pi here is 100% deliberate.

It really wouldn't be the first time I've seen the Mayan numbers flipped to make something purposely cryptic. The GTA mystery I mentioned did the same exact thing actually. Three outta four of the symbols match, though rotated. I'd say that's worth a further look, I'll be trying to help if I can. Didn't I see something about the probes pointing to a certain planet on here? If that's the case, it might be worth going to take a look at the possible coordinates on that planet.

That said, I'll try to contain my excitement until I land on a Thargoid ship by accident following decoded coordinates.

Thanks, I'll see about using that source for a bit and see if I can't find something.

+1 to this - MB has said some ideas are getting close, but a lot are in the wrong direction. So we're getting there.

More info/discoveries/things in the most recent Patch (apart from loads of new skins and "bumpers" whatever they are going to be) will help narrow it down I think.

I feel the outcome of the puzzle is fixed it is who gets there first decides the outcome, from what I gather it's Canonn and Feds who are trying to figure this all out the end result will decide the first contact situation.

So um Just found this in my home system anyone able to translate? Its probs just some kind of tip off...But maybe related?

Too complex to be binary code... that's all I know, or I'd run it through a translator.

I find the 1:9 or 0:5:7 strange... can't say I've seen something like that before. (in combination with single numbers).

Edit:
Seems to be base 10, there are only numbers from 0 to 9, so probably the 1 0 sequences is no binary.

Not a normal binary encoding that is for sure... and of course binary is base-2 :)

I thought they might be ratios, but there is one that is "1:" - i.e. no second number.

Yes, I saw also single 5,3 and 7s there. So I removed the binary from the post. Seems you ninjad' that ^^
The only logical thing would be that the code gives coordinates if this is a distress call, but how?
