Alien archeology and other mysteries: Thread 9 - The Canonn

[Leo3ABP]

I found this too and posted it about 20 pages back. I too was really excited but I don't think it has anything to do with the Guardians.

A slim possibility of a hint at a earthlings-guardians and Moon theory mayhaps? Just speculating, but I think we should never forget, that ED is just a game and its puzzles were made by human for humans to solve, even more, by players, and whilke there are many bright and fine among us, I dont think those puzzles require a cadre of specialists with various scientific degrees to be solvable, so simple solutions should not be overlooked.

On a related note, another few questions about handing in data early for cash, as it has been established the mission can, later, be reacquired.

1) What happens when you get the mission again? Does your data gathering continue from where you left off, or do you start from the beginning?

2) Also does your mission timer continue from where you left off (a pause), continue constantly from when you originally first got the mission (i.e. it never pauses), or does it start again from 28 days (a reset) ?

You start again from fresh, when rescanning you get no new message when rediscovering data you had before, but you can keep tally with the money going up again. The cash reward is also set against your trade rank so perhaps treating this as a daily for those who are not yet Trade Elite is a good thing. Handing in 26 mill of data took me from 97% Entrepreneur to 2% Tycoon yesterday so with an aspX with decent jump range thats a decent bump to rating every hour or so I can tolerate grabbing the solo ones from my list and refinding the coords Still very grindy but no less boring than running a big ship full of whatever

Few questions instead of answers:

- Why there are double obelisks?
- Why obelisks are grouped in triangles, rectangles, etc? What does it give besides "aliens like geometric shapes".
- What are those coffins everywhere around? Is it just kind of reinforcement against wind or something more?
- How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

i can only answer your last question: a woodchuck would chuck all the wood it could, if a woodchuck could chuck wood......[wacky]

humm i have just given myself Forest Whitaker Eye from tjhinking about that lol

 

[CMDR ChronoZoggt]

Think of all the possibilities for gaming with a development of direct human-machine interface...

Of course gaming would be the best application for that technology Just imagine being able to "touch" the obelisks And then get stuck in them forever because the hitbox was buggy...

So there's a thing, on the moon above the ruins, at the same location as the ruins, and it's being dismissed? Is that what I'm hearing?

What's it look like from height?

But even if a woodchuck could chuck wood, and even if a woodchuck would chuck wood, should a woodchuck chuck wood? [monkey island 2]

Just like a container from afar with slight red shimmer coming from inside. There are no indications of ruins, geometry or anything around it, only coordinates are the same as ruins. What is interesting, is that it seems to be static piece, and not random POI, since at least another CMDR have discovered it some time ago.

If the ruins is a map, I think the small circle is the "you are here" mark. I say that because comparing the old layout and the new (after the patch) the small circle obelisks is the only thing that has not changed.

FD already said that they changed because they changed the way things would work (maybe pointing to other place).

But the "you are here", could never change so we can have a start point to follow the map.

Many people saying that the big circle is where we are but I think the small one is current location.

 

[ExoForce]

That would mean that they were originally from Earth. We just don't find any stuff there, because the AI cleaned the place after killing them.

Actually, You may be right. I have figured out the city layout.

Kudos to FD, this required huge effort, knowlegde and imagination.
There is a new multi-layered lore in front of us. Epic proportions. Thanks!

Btw: Alien ship is related to the Guardians.

From the photo it looks to be just a standard crashed nav beacon. I believe they're fairly common. I found one near the ruins when driving round getting materials for fuel. - nothing of any interest, just 2KCr of data for the Federation.

If it's confirmed that the one on 1Ba is persistent, that's interesting though!

Not quite. A monolith is a single block of stone, but doesn't have to be by itself- Stonehenge is a set (correct collective noun? Actually it's probably 'henge') of monoliths. When you take a monolith & shape it to have a pointy top (e.g. Cleopatra's Needle) then it becomes an obelisk.

That is right. To be considered MONO lith, must be made of a single piece.

From Online Etymonolgy Dictionary:

monolith (n.)
"column consisting of a single large block of stone," 1848, from French monolithe (16c.), from Latin monolithus (adj.) "consisting of a single stone," from Greek monolithos "made of one stone," from monos "single, alone" (see mono-) + lithos "stone." Transferred and figurative use is from 1934.

That being defined, The structures we are scanning, are MONOLYTHS and they can light up. They are grouped in OBELISKS. Each OBELISK is formed by NINE MONOLYTHS (we can only see six) and the OBELISKS are arranged in pairs or singles on the ruins site forming clusters that have geometric shapes.

According to Online Etymonolgy Dictionary:

obelisk (n.)
"rectangular stone column tapering at the top," 1560s, from Middle French obélisque (16c.) and directly from Latin obeliscus "obelisk, small spit," from Greek obeliskos "small spit, obelisk, leg of a compass," diminutive of obelos "a spit, pointed pillar, needle." Related: Obeliskine.

Our Obelisks don't have pointy tops, or topping at all. So maybe FD has made a mistake naming the objects here.

 

[Rennard]

Is there a list of the "interactions" attempted at the ruins site?

I don't mean with the obelisks/artefacts only, I mean every possible interaction we can have. Examples: Shooting everything with different weapon types (including mining lasers), missiles etc.

What I am getting at is are we assuming there is nothing more to "change" other than picking up objects and scanning obelisks? I'm heading back shortly and don't want to go over too much old ground if the answers are known.

 

[Thatchinho]

I agree that 3 seems the right number here. However, the 6.9dy partition stuff assumes that the guardian used a one day "day" XD.

Hmm, the day thing obviously doesn't make sense, (even more so considering that a day wouldn't even entirely make sense in the conventional way given the planets inclination and orbit).

So without a common unit of measurement it's time to look at ratios (which I've obviously just done, prior to posting)

So, conspiracy theorists, please hold on to your seats. The ratio of 1Ba orbits to 1B rotations (and orbits) is 23.

The unit of measurements used by the guardians is the planet in merope. The same one the UP points to.

And again we come to a number 3 (23 is 1/3 of 69) which we determined by ratios which is geometry... which guardians seem to be found of as well as number 3.

It could make sense (If the UP and stuff are ancien tech gone rogue). Do you have testable stuff to support this ?

Yeah pix or it didn't happen

 

[programad]

3 arks
3 data patterns per scan
pyramids on the ruins
triangular monolyths

Any other confirmation?

Earth is being 3rd planet from the sun....

Persistent earth-made module on the same coordinates on the moon to the planet with ruins... I think some1 with Sol permits should check that out. I would myself, but I dont have permits.
