I am so very baffled and impressed by internets ability to solve cyphers and equally unimpressed by it's inability to recognise such fundamental things as being suspicious of the OP's
Op always lying
Lol most relatable statement I've seen ever. Sometimes people on the internet will frustrate you to no end
The suspension of disbelief is fun, but people do seem to get lost in it.
literally every youtube video is on the premise that whoever first told the story cant just be lying or hoaxing. if youre lucky the video will acknowledge that it COULD be fake at the very end. objects start flying around house? I wonder if its wind, or a ghost... or, MAYBE, the video was faked for attention from mouth breathers. it pisses me off so bad.
@@christopherrapczynski204 this is the sad truth
It feels like an art project to remind people of forgotten history, get people outside and challenge them on many levels.
The same vibe I’m getting. It looks to me like a group of kids from the local college got together and decided to make an ARG. it’s really well done though very intricate so it’s beautiful …it’s definitely art. I also have a sneaky suspicion they are all females….i dont know why….could be the witch in me lol
@@abandonedmuse deffo. I feel that using an online platform because people are chronically online, mixed with analog pen & paper / quests / brain teasers & combining it with various points of interest you can visit or may not be aware of. Along with the lord/history accompanying that you’re incentivised to learn is really smart.
Hmmm... the art professor and his students
@@abandonedmuse A lot of people assume "Ricky" is male, but it isn't exclusively a male name, is it
It worked on me, at least
That professor and students who made that boat-like structure probably made this ARG collectively.
true probably an art project but if all these clues are as purposeful as they seem and have genuine meaning and are not just threads that lead from one to another than I'm not sure. I think time will tell and when more gets solved we will see if there is genuine meaning behind all the imagery and symbolism or if their just tools for allure and esoteric mystery.
@@opaxi mean, its designed as a sudoku, to be solved. If it was a real mystery it would not have 'clues'. Also the setting is so 'contemporary north american'
Right because that's extremely logical, that's exactly what university professors do and no one cares and no word gets out and the school is totally cool with the teacher doing all that
Professor from relevant university honoring history with art.
Ticks all the boxes
That shop owner absolutely is the key. No way you keep a random “letter” like that for years
I'm not so sure of that. If I received a letter as strange as that, I'd keep it around.
*looks at my pile of random letters that i can’t be fucked to sort through nervously.*
Y-yeah- noone would do that haha-
Have you ever heard of hoarders? Collectors? Or holding onto something just in case it becomes worth something until it is not?
@@thequeenofdemons666that’s why I collect rare coins incasethey have more value in the future
nah that letter would be extremely strange to receive, i personally would not throw that out
At 26:01 the characters shown aren't "W M W", they're Cherokee Syllabary characters, which read " Ta Lu La". It should also be noted that Tallulah Road is a road in Robbinsville, NC, which is home to the Snowbird section of the Cherokee Reservation. It connects Robbinsville to Topton, which is rather small, but is also a stop along the way to Murphy. Also, around the 20:00, the word listed as either "Liar" or "Star" is very likely "Star", which probably goes together with the previous word "Seven" as a reference to the Seven Pointed Star, which is the symbol for the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, and is featured on their seal.
At 28:58, when the quilt trail is mentioned, it should be noted that there is at least one such marker in Robbinsville, NC, not too far from Tallulah Rd.
At 31:23, "Spearfinger" is the name of a mythical Cherokee monster. It was basically a hag, with very tough skin that resembled tree bark that used its finger as a spear (hence the name) to pierce the sides of victims and carve out (and subsequently eat) their livers.
At 33:18, Toccoa is also a town in Georgia from which the Cherokee were removed.
At 39:00, "Tsalagi" is the Cherokee transliteration of the word "Cherokee" and is often used as their endonym (though, it isn't actually a Cherokee word, and historically they actually called themselves "A-ni-yv-wi-ya" or "The Principal People").
At 41:46, it occurs to me that Dalonega may have more significance as a word than simply the name of the mint, as "Da-lo-ne-ga" is the Cherokee word for gold.
There are also t thhreeings of note to me. First is that "Cherokee Princess" isn't an actual thing, as the Cherokee never had anything similar to one. However, it is a relatively modern term that nowadays is often used to refer to people with spurious claims of Cherokee ancestry (or as a reference to things that are posed as Cherokee but are not). The second thing is that there were Cherokee Code Talkers much like the much more famous Navajo Code Talkers, so the idea that someone would have this type of knowledge on hand isn't that odd. Lastly, Cherokee, and especially its syllabary, is not widely known. It is, in fact, and endangered language. This, along with an apparent decent/functional command of both the language and its syllabary, as well as the real-world leads would lead me to believe the whoever the source of the mystery is very likely either is Cherokee or works with the tribe and probably lives somewhere between Maggie Valley and Robbinsville. They could also possibly live in Augusta, but with everything else, I would think they more likely commute there or know someone who does. If memory serves, Augusta has done some work either with or for EBCI.
All in all, it feels very reminiscent of "The Secret", which is a book of codes and pictures which lead to historical places where boxes containing treasure are hidden.
Murphy is in Cherokee county; Tallulah Falls and Tallulah Gorge are places in former Cherokee land in NE GA
@@superhetoric Yeah, I just figured that the link to the reservation in Robbinsville was notable.
I was actually about to comment that Cherokee princess isn't and was never a thing.
I don't think anyone really knows where that comes from but I did have a neighbor who was younger (and dumber) than me once, who claimed her great grandma was a Cherokee princess.
I wanted to argue but there was no point in it.
Did anybody else happen to pause the video to read the bits of text from the book itself? There's something....off about the entire thing. Like, if you were to get your hands on a physical copy of this book that wasn't used as an elaborate reminder of the deep connections between ancient esoteric/arcane knowledge and certain groups of wealthy/influential Americans, it would not be the book we get glimpses of here.
Between the oddly haunting/creepy photos chosen for a travel book, the weirdly specific and detailed sections on regions like the Appalacians and Georgia (conveniently the same region at the center of this mystery) it feels like a gentle but persistent attempt to draw attention to itself.
And then there's the distinct way certain image captions are written. For whatever reason, in a few places, they're written with all articles absent.
So no "the," "a," or "an," which gives these captions the distinct vibe of being somebody's lecture or research notes. If they were all written this way, I'd have just assumed it was an odd editing/format choice, but from caption to caption it varies whether they're written in this note-taking format or like typical textbook captions, often on the same page. This makes me think that it is an intentional decision, and that it's very possible the entire book was created for the purpose of this puzzle. Which means that the contents of the book itself are more than a canvas, but are in fact a part of the mystery too. It is, after all, very convenient that the contents of this book align with obscure references to important masonic locations and obscure oddities and locations.
All of which brings me to why I'm doing this huge reply in the first place: the repeated Cherokee princess references caught my attention for the same reasons you gave, namely that there's no such thing. Which makes the passage accompanying the picture of "Noamie" the "Cherokee Princess" even more bizarre than it already was.
The passage describes the photo as being of the aforementioned Noamie, emerging from a cave somewhere in the vicinity of Manhattan. It describes this cave as having been the oldest pre-European occupied location in the area, and had been home to Cherokee for centuries before coming to an abrupt end in the 19th century. Yes, this book about traveling the WORLD has a whole ass writeup about an obscure bit of Cherokee history. A rather questionable history at that. Maybe I'm wrong, but for some reason, I find it really hard to believe that the Cherokee were living out of fucking caves. Given that the time this book was allegedly originally written was around the time when the idea of primitive "cave men" gained popularity after the relatively recent discovery of Neanderthals, it actually seems pretty dogwhistle-y.
I'm hoping more comes from this though, i learned a lot about history just from this video overview, and I'm hoping there's a proper ending planned with a satisfying payoff
@@Coast2CoastFlyin As a person who has some knowledge of Cherokee history, I can say that Cherokee did indeed use caves for shelter. In fact, if you go way back, before they ultimately settled around the Smokies and surrounding foothills, they were known as "the cave people" in the native tongue of various other tribes they met on their way southward, through the centuries/millennia, from their original home around the Ohio/Great lakes region. There's a number of caves that I've been to (Bristol Caves in VA and Craighead Caverns/"The Lost Sea" in TN come to mind) that have archeological evidence to this end. The Cherokee themselves are fairly open about it. If anything, I think that this book is probably a PR thing a la "The DaVinci Code" or somesuch to promote Cherokee tourism and language, as the EBCI has been trying to push that for a number of years now.
What I find truly amazing is how the Internet can discover almost anything when everyone works together.
It’s like a metaphor for something
@@emileclarence4821 Community is the meaning of life
@@HauntakuTVTRUTH
a mere 10 days into quarantine aka the populace acting in a single unified manor, and was met the response of govt. and private sector reps decrying "your grandparents would rather die instead of collapsing the economy". For lack of better word "the system" cannot work without us. IT is nothing but an emergent property of money taken from your income. That is why you may be hearing the term "Mutual Aid" for the first time right now. A Community with the means to feed, and house itself though mutual aid or individual skills is not beholden to anything and could do whatever it wanted.
It reminds me of the time when scientists couldn’t figure out how to fold a genome, a problem they’ve been working on for years… at the end of their rope, one of them decided to code it into a game to see if someone could solve it that way. Two weeks later and they had beat the game and folded the genome properly.
It does tick every box for an ARG, but the amount of information around it is insane. The work put in would be unlike any other ARG.
Idk, was the liber primus ever solved? Alot of smart people out there, and more people get into making them all the time. Wilbur soot and unfavorable semicircle. There's so many
The Wyoming Incident still puts this to shame.imo
@@strayfromlight I love that arg. I've seen the video of nightmind covering it 3 times.
Nah, there are so many others that went even deeper than this. This is just Cicada 3301 for history nerds instead of comp sci nerds.
Are you stupid?
The Notebook dates back to the 1800s.
Sounds like a great way to encourage people to take a hike through a part of the US that is often looked down upon as simple, backwards, and primitive and get a chance to see personally the rich history and beautiful sights it has to offer.
And also probably something more.
Tbh i wouldn't be that surprised if it was just to get people to go to the places, especially considering the original book is literally about traveling the world
Who looks down on those states? The people in those states are anything but stupid. They have their own way of doing things for sure but its always for good reasons. They deal with alot of things the rest of us dont have to so it only seems odd from the outside looking in
Nah probably nothing more, imo. You got it exactly right. It’s an ARG to make people care about rural US destinations
@@youtubeletmeintoyoutube4580 You gotta admit it was pretty clever though...How did they know that this would go viral? I wouldnt have thought people would piece together half this shit if I made it
Wtf how did this get posted here-
The fact it obsesses over cherokee and native stuff tells me its absolutely one of the professors in that college.
Lmao real
this is unironically gonna be a "the real answer is the journey we made along the way" ass ending. forrest fenn ass puzzle
I’m from Augusta and this is just fascinating. I’ve worked downtown for nearly two decades and know a good bit about the weird shit around town, like esoteric symbols and references on old buildings, monuments, and various other infrastructure. There’s even some symbols on a door in the basement of a local bar that leads to these tunnels spread out under the city. I only know about this because I worked the door at that bar for years and even stepped into the tunnels briefly (if only I weren’t terrified of spiders). Many other buildings have these doors, I’ve heard.
As for the art project by Eve Street, I’ve seen it several times but I never heard of this “So Joana” book. I just so happen to know the head of the Art Department at AU, so I’m gonna have to ask if he knows anything about all this next time I see him. Wild stuff, man.
Lmao I heard Fort Gordon and kind of snapped back to reality.
Weird to hear of this kind of ARG in this region
dude please update me! i’m heavily invested in this mystery and would be so pleased to have it solved.
Pls update us when u find out more 😊
I’m also in GA and it was kinda cool learning about all these places and things around my state that I’ve never heard of :)
Is there a map of these tunnels?
I haven’t looked into this deeply aside from just watching this video but I’m originally from the area of Appalachia that’s so heavily referenced and i think it’s definitely worth looking into the Cherokee legend of spear finger who lured children away where her favorite home was said to be whiteside mt. located between highlands, NC, cashiers, NC, and the GA border. Additionally Tallulah Gorge state park/Tallulah falls in GA is fairly near to whiteside so it might also be worth investigating bc it’s also referenced :) lol also Dahlonega is pronounced (dah-lawn-eh-gah) btw!
Especially because there are a lot of missing people in that area as well. I wonder if they were investigating disappearances in the area on their own
i fucking love whiteside mt! only somewhat related, but i've hiked it at least once a year for the past few years. the view from the top is incredible.
I love being from WNC… it’s been gentrified like crazy the last 10 years but there’s so much history and culture here. I hope & pray it doesn’t get too diluted by everyone flooding in and putting up condos and chain-stores
@@CamBoone It is sad. Buying a home for most people that have spent their entire lives in the area just simply isn't possible in Boone, Blowing Rock, or Asheville. The rest of the foothills, where I am from, to the border of TN just keep getting more and more unrealistic. The cost of living otherwise is still great, but I'm afraid there won't be many, if any, generations of North Carolinians with hundreds of years worth of family ties to the region, inhabiting much of the region.
The first time I heard the Spearfinger story, I couldn't sleep. Luring children away, spearing them with her finger, eating their livers-- I must have been about 6 years old and it just terrified me lol
That moment when I actually have a totally mundane copy of this exact book lying around my house somewhere.
Totally unexpected.
Please check whether pages and texts match! Someone here in the comments mentioned that soke captions are a weirdly written or simply too specific on Cherokee history
any update?
The fact that crossfire gambit led to a keyword website means it’s an ARG, whether in part or entirely, imho
Yeah, kind of made me instantly loose most of the interest
Well yeah that and the RUclips videos make it very obviously an ARG. I get the vibe that the person who posted the RUclips videos was a little ticked off people are taking so long to solve the puzzle.
⚠️ the creator of this video put a lot of effort into this. The video is VERY INTERESTING, Informative, and Enjoyable!!
*** WATCH VIDEO BEFORE READING POST bc some think of this comment as a spoil. I don't! ***
As of 15-NOV-2023 you have to choose READ MORE before you can even read this first sentence...
It's a project by a group from Augusta University and others. It's not quite an ARG, more like an art & history project to encourage people to actually go out and see these places
Love it! Here in Europe everyone makes fun of Americans for "having no history"...I would argue that although the American history may be short, it is fully packed with interesting and for the world important events + the native American history is rarely discussed while being no less interesting.
not really seeing much history trying to be portrayed tbh
if it is that is extremely cool and very well done.
@@naverich4603If you call the mass murder rape and enslavement of Native Americans "interesting", yeah
My immediate thought was “this is a very well put together ARG by a group of well educated people” so… that tracks …
Holy Moly! This is so well produced. The animations for the coordinates and mapping? Looks professional AF. The production value of this content is off the charts. Well done!
The words Highjump and Artichoke stood out to me as they are both US government operations. Highjump was a Navy mission to study the feasibility of military bases on the Antarctic, while Artichoke was a CIA precursor to MK Ultra named after Allen Dulles’ favorite vegetable. I tried Googling some of the other words to see if they also correlated to operations but didn’t find anything; of course I didn’t try them all. Einstein is also famously linked to the Manhattan Project.
I like the angle you're taking. Good points.
I had a similar thought about “Crossfire Gambit” with ACID GAMBIT being the opening special operation mission in the US invasion in Panama.
This is probably a pointless nitpick, but the object mentioned at 42:14 isn't a hunting knife. It's a fold-out boxcutter.
Could be important
I was thinking that too. When he said "hunting knife" I leaned back in my chair
boxed in = stuck in the matrix
@@jpar6031This case deals with the simulation 'theory'?
@@conanhighwoods4304nothing points to that at all.
aight bro let me get those popcorns
Gimme gimme 🫳 🍿
I'm still baffled at how people still believe these "omg I found something by accident" deals...
It has a mystery attached? It's never an accident.
Probably a fair number of people don’t believe the narrative but still find it interesting and/or entertaining. People are known to spend their time on more trivial things than this.
This is a very intriguing mystery that clearly had an immense amount of work put into it. That said, I can't help but feel like it's fairly obvious that the book absolutely was not found and bought at a random thrift store. Especially since the shop owner still had that letter. This was deliberately created by someone at the store and the "I found this random old book" story was just used as a catalyst.
That last statement makes me think this may have been a final deed done by someone who just wants people to travel and go outside. With the new clues and uploads being done either by themselves while stuck inside, or a family member whos keeping thier goal alive. Its a goose chase where the journey is the treasure and the destination is bittersweet.
I think that message is a clue in more than one way even the punctuation
Like the one piece
There was a similar ARG in Ontario, but IDK if it's been solved yet
@@HauntakuTVlink?
I never heard of this! Great video, this all seems like a huge art project for someone interested or even connected with those topics. Idk if there is a bigger meaning or if this is just one big scavenger hunt for the internet.
Symbols rule the world. I grew up in an area of the midwest that is very heavy in Freemasonry. The golf club I was a member of while in high school had a Masonic lodge at the club and even had the Freemason symbol at the 1st tee. I also lived in Hollywood, CA for a few years early in my music career and that town is littered in symbolism, specifically Egyptian symbolism which the Masons follow as well. The Hollywood and Highland mall is covered in Egyptian symbols. Not to mention the endless examples of celebrities showing secret society symbolism. The nutty part is once you know the symbols, you cant unsee that stuff in pop culture.
Seems a lot like a convoluted ARG with a lot of sensational landmarks and symbols used to attract attention that lack any significant connection or meaning and ultimately leads to nothing interesting.
Looks like a homebrew arg. Pretty cool. Whoever made it put a lot of effort into it and considering how many times they've interacted with solvers they clearly want people to figure it out. I suspect you'll make a follow up someday, this doesn't seem like something the creator is just going to let die without being solved.
Your editing has gotten SO GOOD. this channel is just gonna keep climbing brotha, been here since 2000 subs ✊
I’m still very surprised at your ability to find these mystery’s bro. Thank you for covering stuff that has never been covered before! You’re probably my fav RUclips channel. Probably better than nexpo
That and it doesnt take him 6 months to get one video out
10:56 - "weary" means "tired". "WARY" means suspicious. You can remember this by thinking of the word "beware", which is what you say to someone you want to be suspicious of possible danger.
it sounds like it's just their accent
borlest forbidden money books (thank me later)
lol this a bot for the unwise, has nothing to do with the vid
the moment the website is reveled its 100% obvious its an arg
Glad I read this so i wouldn't waste my time wit a dumb ahh arg
I feel like mysteries like this can be really captivating at first but to more general ARG/mystery heads, it's not far off the Cicada kind of thing of being too focused on puzzles without a wider "story" or lore, it doesn't really feel like a proper "rabbit hole" out of constant cryptic references to other things. some people love that but for me it's more the immersive part that I like about these sorts of mysteries. i feel like if this had been "real" it would have been more interesting in this case, knowing it's constructed I guess I hold it to a different standard
I feel kind of the same, seems like someone who's just spent too much time looking into internet mysteries and /x/ type stuff trying to make a blend of those themselves, with all of the references to appalachia, hollow earth (black sun, [operation] highjump), freemasonry, sigils, mind control stuff, etc. which are all pretty common place in those circles. Pretty sophisticated though, credit where credit's due.
yeah, a lot of effort went into it for sure. it's why i'm so thankful for channels like this that i can appreciate the work "from a distance"@@BowDown097
it's tryhard and forced, very boring apart from the fact I live in the area mentioned in the book
The Cicada one is dangerous
These look a lot like the Gideon keys. Living history never dies it seems and the acolytes journey never finishes! That's pretty cool
Thanks for making this compelling video.
It all puts me in mind of a Thomas Pynchon novel.
Maybe this is how geniuses goof and have fun?
Really compelling stuff!

A fascinating new mystery I've never even heard of! An excellent topic of choice. VERY interested to hear if theres ever updates on this. I genuinely wonder what its all about.
Videos like this make me want to scribble a bunch of nonsense in books and just drop them until someone finds one and makes a video about how "mysterious" it is.
Thats a very achievable goal.

Listen, this might sound weird, but it sounds like a school project. In my senior year we were tasked with creating a new urban legend or cryptid, and we had a choice on how to go about it. My buddy and I made a book, like a journal. We put in pictures, we put in easter eggs, clues that made coordinates, etc. No one else in my class made a book, but it wasn't unheard of. I added Latin in, Ceasar Cipher, lots of little things, even the main character's last name was a nod to Slenderman in German. We got an A+, but it was just that. A school project we threw out heart and soul in to. If we'd had more time, we would have done even more insane stuff with it.
oh my god, utopia mention!! highly, highly recommend that show, but it's quite difficult to find nowadays. some veeerrry interesting thematic links to whatever's going on here...
I have a notebook where I write down very specific mundane work and hobby information that's written in a sort of cryptic shorthand that even I'll forget if I don't have an elaborate key describing what it all means. If I were to dump it's contents without a key on Reddit or some other site it probably have people generating all kinds of crazy theories about it. When in reality it's the most uninteresting information that's only useful to me and even then only for short period of time.
👌 likewise aha
Yea but it isn’t on generating hype like this from the direction the books codes lead you. Putting your note book on the same scale as someone putting together cyphers in a around the world book is probably abit far fetched
@@nharber9837 But it will give future peoples insight into what we ancient ones did with our time. I imagine future people will have developed photosynthesis, all be one gender, and have a collective conscious so we, their ancestors will be hella bizarre to them.

"They had to use devices to navigate to places rather than using the hive mind, they were veritable neanderthals!" Or whatever they'll call us.

I'm still pissed about the Georgia Guidestones, they would have been so cool to see in person.
Americans blow everything up.
To be fair, if you know the backstory behind the stones, it's not surprising that people didn't care when it got blown up.
I'm sure the creators of the idea made it are hippies because of its historical context, but it's basically a "billions must die" monument #570.
@@jojobizadTRASH There does not seem to be much history about it. I do not see anything offensive about the inscription on the stones, it does not even seem to go against Christianity or anything like that. The stones say to keep population below 500,000,000 individuals, which seems reasonable enough. Anyone can see that our current society is overpopulated. Denying overpopulation is as absurd as denying climate change.
@elio7610 The inscription is basically a nihilistic doomsday enscription that basically pushed the red scare further and has many theories around it being a globalist thing.
Though if I'm going to be real, I'm sure it's some random freemason who tried to be the next "Alan Moore," but it sounds like they sniffed their ass too hard.
Also, population control is very taboo outside of Western/Anglo society because of nihilism. I feel like this goes against the goal of fighting climate change, which is basically being charitable towards nature and embracing what's created in front of you. It also doesn't help that population control implicitly works through the negative effects of industrialism and modern ideologies that fail to replace religion, causing a huge identity crisis and mass depression at the moment. This also explains why this generation of people, regardless if they're theist, atheist, or agnostic; are leaning into esoteric teachings or alt religion, while Christianity and Islam are growing outside of the west.
I'd legit be curious to know what country you come from, I'm basically a Chicano who lives in Cali. The culture here is in a pretty weird spot I'd say so myself.
@@elio7610 How is it reasonable to cull population like that?
No, we are not overpopulated. In fact, we will reach demographic crisis in a few decades.
Climate change is based on IR absorption band within the atmosphere. "Overpopulation" is Malthusian nonsense. Mathematically we could support a few billions more.

Nice to see people taking an interest in the rich history of the Carolinas and NE Georgia. I’m from Anderson, SC and I’ve been to quite a few of these places in the past. It’s really cool to see all those little details found around them used in this story. Shame I can’t go back to the guidestones now though
Why ?

@@Hakimshafin if you're asking why they can't go back to the guidestones, they were destroyed, the video itself mentions that.

I wish I could be smart and rich enough to do thing like these. I like puzzles and mysteries, love hiking, etc but I physically don't have the stamina or brain power unfortunately. I'm glad it's being documented in videos like this - I hope that the full mystery gets solved and shared too.
First time I’ve heard of this mystery.
Thank you!
Man I would love to join in and check out these mysterious locations in person. Its a pity the states of Georgia, Tennessee and N/S Carolina are nearly 15 thousand km away from me lol 🤣
You gotta make more videos like this! I love the sound affects and that ps2 type background music you have in the video.
As someone who was on 4chan for cicada this feels so much like that it’s pulling me in again.
The fact that this features U.S locations exclusively makes it obvious it is just some kind of ARG thing made by the OP of that post.
Did you miss the part about the drawing of Menwith Airforce Base in England on Page 37 at 12:37 ? It's also the coordinates written on the 10 of Diamonds. I wish he had linked up the wiki, it's nearly 250 pages at this point. I'd link it up but my comments with links in them aren't posting.
It would be absolutely crazy if this were a really elaborate marketing play to get tourism for a town 😂
But this is absolutely an ARG. It's absolutely crazy to me that people didn't immediately suspect OP or the person who found the flyer.
Bro, thank you for this video, this is probably the best scavenger hunt on the interne. If I could to follow the leads and go to each of the places I would dos so gladly! Even if in the end all we got was a "yey you made it" I would be ecstatic hope you madke another video whenever there are updates
I keep having these dreams where there’s like all sorts of different aliens that don’t really get along and they use earth to hide out and use earthling espionage to hide their intentions because so far it’s the least documented by alien AI due to having so much variation. This whole video gave me deja vu and seemed eerily familiar. Spooky
Watching from Japan right before bed.
Just wow i would love a documentary about this book, haven't even finished the video and the amount of information is insane ! This is one of the best puzzles and i dont know how i haven't even heard of this before.... Thank you for this video !!
I love internet mysteries! This was incredible! Never heard of this! The person or personS who created this book could make incredible computer puzzle games.
damn a longform deep dive on something i've never heard of?? take my sub, i guess i know what channel i'll be binging for a while
This is one HELL of a mystery holy cow.
This was amazing! A niche in my special interest topic but inset in a place where my family has a long history, in weird esoteric lore I enjoy, and repping Aniyunwiya lore?
Ii!
I love that something this cool takes place in my neck of the woods. Awesome channel, had to subscribe!
Decorating for Halloween. This gonna rock
Looks like a straight up arg
This literally feels like the big easter egg to do with Mt Chilliad in GTA 5. Except on a world-wide scale.
The Mt. Chilliad Mystery is still unsolved to this day
this is like da vinci code level arg stuff, i love it
Waiting to watch this tonight with a candle and snacks 🎉 can't wait!
I believe you've missed part of the enigma that hides in Ricky's playlist:
ruclips.net/p/PLQoVmUy5-C66LwAZim7V2JrHy8IpLaQF6 (also - it was updated today)
Another thing I found further digging into the mystery, is it seems in the pyramid picture there is something hidden in the shadows: snipboard.io/6m8xiU.jpg if you zoom in and play with the shadows, highlights and contrast it becomes more obvious. A bit rosicrucian, a bit alchemical. If you look to the right on the edited version it looks like an eye surrounder by a some sort of sun rays, inside of a square
Nice! Of course there's clips from Twin Peaks on there haha. Also the Nazi Enigma machine. Certainly in the same wheelhouse as the So Joanna.
Thanks for doing this, it’s about time someone did. Just one nitpick: wary = cautious; weary = tired.
i can say the guidestones were so important to my development as a teen, spiritualility wise and my connection w nature. last time i saw them was 2021 w my dad :( rip guidestones
Stopped at mention of the book store. Its him/her/them. Case closed. So many reasons why and how to list. Cool video
Convoluted.
This is Journal 4. Dipper & Ford can decipher it.
I will now be following this forever.
Really well put together.
The annotator is definitely that one unemployed friend on a Thursday at 4:36 pm
Thanks a million for uploading this video, it was definitely perplexing! I'm amazed by the intelligence of the people who created this video. It's incredible how much time, research, and intelligence goes into creating something like this, whether it's an ARG or something non-fiction.
Subscribed. This got recommend to me by the algorithm and was a fascinating watch, please do an indepth look at the Orea Linda Book if you have time. RUclips doesn't really have one that I'm aware of.
This is as DEEP as it GETS...
So stoked on this video. @00:24:42, seeing the backwards numbers from the next page makes me want to look into why these weren't mentioned.
E: Coordinates, I couldn't think of the word. Damn.
when the so-called "investigators" don't realize OP is the one who did all that to get attention
When it comes to arg's my first thought would be "who is posting this?" "What can I find out about them themselves."
Especially when most ARG's are for selling something aka PR reasons especially nowadays.
@@Kas_Styles Yup every time I see an ARG I wonder why people aren’t trying to dig into the people who present the clues and stuff… but then I never got the appeal of false mystery’s, especially ones like the one presented in this video that don’t even have a cool fictional narrative being played out.
@@michaelbrown8195 ya. The puzzle for me is who is making the puzzles.
The redditor OP had a long history of posts in subreddits like UFOs and flatearth etc. They began with how they innocently found the book but then go on to help people solve the puzzles in depth. Their profile reveals they're at least in their 30s or 40s so likely had the resources to put it together. They were definitely involved.
Great video, as i was watching I was reminded of a youtube video i watched years ago about Albert Pike getting lost in the mountains and being rescued by Indians, I followed this up and could not find it any where ,however I did find that Albert Pike was named commissioner to the Indian nations by the Confederate government in 1861.
In a world where people are x1.5’ing, I gotta do a rewatch at x0.75 on this :) amazing stuff.
That’s incredibly fascinating-so interesting.
Ah the production value on this one is so food, kudos!
as someone born in north carolina and raised in georgia, i am absolutely fascinated by this. it definitely comes across as some sort of project that generally wants people to connect more with the history and geography around them, encouraging them to visit these real locations for clues. but perhaps also there is some sort of “prize” waiting at the end of all the puzzles as well. im now tempted to go to some of these locations myself to see if i can find anything
It's funny that Ricky is uploading Utopia clips, because that entire show is a rabbit hole itself. Without spoiling anything, it's a conspiracy thriller about a clandestine organization manufacturing a pandemic, while predating Covid by 6-7 years. It features occult and masonic imagery hidden throughout, and references secret societies, conspiracies, and global events. It was canceled on a cliffhanger in season two, and I'll bet there were some who weren't too happy about it.
How gullible can redditors be? 'What's this puzzle that happens to be written in fresh blue ink, that I DEFINITELY did not write myself to get attention from strangers on reddit?'
Also the flyer with the tear away pieces looks like a skull
I saw a lot of facial features and visual similarities between "clues".
Really interesting video. Never heard of it before
Klingman refers to Klingmans Dome.
An exceedingly high mtn. peak located near the Cherokee reservation in Cherokee, NC.
For the unpolished ashlar, only dust can be evaluated.
Strangely It's spelled Clingman's Dome, same with Joanna Bald (not Joana)
@@anorakseal8119 There are quite a few misspellings I noticed, such as Talula instead of Tallulah. I'm sure it's intentional and may have a deeper meaning. Many place names are also female first names, maybe referring to the 11 princesses of the Cherokee? I'm so fascinated by the whole thing.
@@youmightstumbleno such thing as princesses in Cherokee culture
@@superhetoric Could be a mistranslation of the clues or a metaphor
Hey yo! The #Atrium image looks like it was taken in Paducah Kentuckys Excutive in before it was torn down.. it has very similar architecture.
Here before this video and channel blow up cause this is a super detailed dive into a mystery I have yet to see covered
Which is…?
42:10
"Hunting knife"
I myself am a computer scientist and puzzle solver. It so happens that I noticed in the video the seven dots where some of them are crossed out. My mind while watching first thought of 7 days of the week however towards the end of the video the 7 blue roses are mentioned which resemble the 7 names in the picture to the right of the pyramid. Given there are 3 coordinates on the page of the book where 3 dots are crossed out that this could point to the location linked to the name in the same order the names are listed in the superexposed pyramid image? I noticed that 6 out of the 7 dots are crossed out if you would combine them, which would leave one open -> JENNY.
Since I just learned about „So Joana“ 1 hour ago I cannot link this information to any work already done but maybe you guys could work with this information and let me know if this association already exists.
it's more a puzzle game than a mystery.
Great! Now we’re gonna have Redditors stinking up Appalachia investigating this mystery. 😂
Don’t worry most Redditors don’t like going outside
I’m from fort mill and had no idea about this!!! That’s super cool!
Ooh, looks intriguing!
