Am I right in thinking that there are a lot of new "patterns" on the objects at the site, from obelisks to floor engravings to items we can pick up? Seems that could be a worthy field of study as well?
Looking at the post below and the description of the Ancient Tablet it mentions that it contains Runes. Are these Runes the same on different Tablets? Can we decipher anything from them?

So, I was taking a closer look at the relic and the camera went trough the ground... And there is a thing (a couple things actually) under the ruins, they are moving...
Anyway, here is the album: http://imgur.com/a/Y4x25
Considering that the symbols and patterns look similar to UI loading animations, AND that Elite timeline states that in 2100s we discovered ancient fossils on Mars which led to Hyperspace technology that may be similar. I wonder what we can find by studying further.
Its Paul!
Paul is dead (miss him miss him).
Huh. I had forgotten about the Mars relic in all the excitement. Hopefully other searches of those new bodies in the Sol system could unearth something. It would be extremely interesting if these artifacts we are collecting were somehow connected to the Mars relic.

the link to the mars relic has to be very strong, time will tell
There's an Elite timeline around which reports the discovery of some kind of fossils on Mars. The same timeline says hyperspace was discovered around the same time, but that doesn't mean the events are connected. I'm also unaware of anything saying the fossils are anything but fossils - not artefacts.
Edit actually there's a galnet post describing it as a relic (i.e. artefact) but still no direct hyperspace connection.

Thinking about it, just a 24-hr period (or rather, one rotation) would be enough to eyeball it in terms of obvious alignments with something significant. It would still require an organised effort, but we might get lucky.
Where are those ruins? I can't see this on first page.
Riz who keeps the thread has slept through all this.....pretty much same as I did! God damn it and now I am at work.......perhaps i should quit?
Anyway I'm sure he will update the front page asap. I cannot believe I logged out last night on the damn planet before all this happened......cruel really
I would expect at least a chuckle and a well done out of FD in this thread now we are into office hours! Surely they meant us to find it this fast.....perhaps to start a journey.....

You has been called upon.
Attention CMDR. You need to report to CMDR Drew Wagar for debriefing.

Michael is probably rolling back in to work for the first time after the upgrade hit... Hit with wake up juice and "They've found it..."
"What, already?"
Mind you, he's probably snickering. We've only found the easiest part (They practically gave us a sign post) The hard part is finding what this is leading to...
OK - this may be obvious, but I don't think anyone's posted it yet.
Do the obelisks give out the same data type each time? If so, could it be as simple as scanning them in order?
From the description in game though, it seems we (i.e. the humans in game universe) have labelled them Alpha, beta etc... Presumably scanning in simple order of alpha, beta etc... would only work if there was anything inherent in the data that would have allowed them to be named by humans in the right order. Or it could be, you know, handwavium

So I am not the only person trying to figure out how to get 2 weeks away from work for a special "Scientific Research Project". If only I could
