    Here is an interesting thought that I'm not sure if anyone has looked into. You can tie Berlin and clock together with the weird Egyptian theme from the other parts of the cypher pretty easily, there is a pretty famous clepsydra called The Clock Of Flowing Time that is located in Berlin (Europa Center), a water clock like the Egyptians used, in Berlin, that isn't really a far fetched reference since it's pretty well known. Northeast as a clue can mean a lot of things but maybe the answer is both really meta and really simple. If you go Northeast from The Clock Of Flowing Time you end up at a sightseeing agency that is literally called Secret Tours Berlin. I am going to assume most kryptologists (?) have looked into this, but for anyone that wants a thing to look into maybe that would be a good place to start.

    • @ArthurEKing8472
      @ArthurEKing8472 3 года назад +4

      I haven't done the research, but I don't think you're on the right track, at least not in context from the video. There are 4 different cyphers, and the clues of Berlin, clock, and northwest were only for the fourth cypher. The Egyptian thing (the opening of King Tut's Tomb) would only be needed to break the inclusion cypher for all four combined. Still, good catch.

It was formerly thought that they were random numbers made up by the devs, or maybe a practically unbreakable OTP. Turns out it is polyalphabetic, and the cipherkey was parts of JFK's book.

    "PALIMPSEST" actually looks like a bit of wordplay with one letter missing. If this is true, then it's solution is "Glimpse into the past" with its first letter, the letter G, missing.
    The word "illusion" has the first "L", the second letter of the word, replaced with a "Q".
    The word "ground" has the "O", the third letter of the word, replaced with a "U".
    The word "desperately" has the second "E", the fifth letter of the word, replaced with an "A", and it is also missing the ninth letter, which is also an "E".
    So far, if one considers all of this true, one would think that the following is what you would be given:

    GLO_E_____?

    I always liked a good double or triple cypher where the cyphertext can be decoded using more than method to get different messages. They are generally less secure from what i remember, but its still fun to solve then when you realize a cyphertext has multiple meanings.
    also the artist including a reference to a living person when he created the sculpture convinces me that he intended for it to be solved fairly quickly, and has messed it up. He probably made a mistake that doesn't make the puzzle unsolvable, but puts it in the category of cracking a OTP (a waste of time)

    So the first one suggests the method, the second one suggests the view direction, the third suggests the precise location, the date in reference, language to look for, or the method of discovery, and the clues seem to point to the time which needs to be used perhaps, Berlin being the timezone, the rest being the time and such... maybe... id just be curious if any lighting effects or view paths have changed since then, maybe altering sun beams or the like?

    Only saying that because I have no idea on the actual topic of the video. Understand the different cipher types, but trying to put stuff together and advance it? Noooooope.

    North-east and clock could refer to the hands of the clock, like 12:15, or 3:00, and Berlin could refer to that specific time in Berlin. Maybe take those “times” and convert them to “Langley” time, and go to those coordinates at said specific time. Idk, maybe I’m an idiot, but alkom’s razer and all that. People tend to over complicate things.

    • @ArthurEKing8472
      @ArthurEKing8472 3 года назад

      Well Berlin time is GMT +1; ... So if you pointed a clock at north, that was set to that time, and waited till it was pointing northwest, (10:30 am/pm) and translate that to the time in Langley, (GMT -8) then, you'd be dealing with 7:30 am/pm so... Not sure how that helps us. Good thinking though.

    So here's a thought...
    Caesar cipher, but multilingual. So the encrypted message makes sense in another language, but the letters have to be shifted to reveal the hidden message.
    Now obviously just shifting the letters to make an English message into Spanish is not going to work, because language doesn't work like that. However...many languages don't use the English alphabet, or anything close to it, such as Chinese or Japanese. This means that the Romany expression of words from those languages can be shifted in different ways, and if this is done with multiple languages for a single message, then that means the only way to crack it is to be familiar with a variety of languages and have to decode what is said in those languages into English. It could even be worked the other way with a double Caesar cipher for more complexity. The letters are garbage, they then have to be shifted to make words in a variety of different languages, they then need to be translated into English and then decoded again to get the real message.

    • @ArthurEKing8472
      @ArthurEKing8472 3 года назад

      Wait... THAT actually might be part of this... As back during one of the world wars, there was a Native American (or First Nations?) language (I believe Navaho) which was the only "code" the axis couldn't break, and this Kryptos could easily be referencing that... Good line.

    Never thought I'd ask this but... where do I send something if I made it? And how many layers deep do you want it? I've had an idea for a message a few layers deep via various 'secret code styles' and I've never had a reason to actually get off my lazy ass to do it.

    Here's a thought, people are people and they are influenced by their surroundings. In the late 80s when the thing was commissioned the World Clock was commissioned and installed. Thinking about the world Berlin is +8 hours to EST. Furthermore, in the 80s James Bond Octopussy was released to no acclaim, potentially making it to broadcast TV by the time the artist was composing his piece. As he was writing the riddle, perhaps he thought it would be fun to include the spy element and use either Octopussy the movie or Octopussy and The Living Daylights (Fleming's collection of short stories) as a book code. Or perhaps the number 8 and the world clock. When these two make videos like this, and when they research it and talk about it, they are never talking about something happening in a vacuum, but an event that occurs connected to the world at large. What you consume influences what you produce, things that influence you are many. Its interesting that the 'mis-spelling' is Q in illusion, and the third passage asking a question of Q, as in James Bond's tech wizard played by the incredible and amazing Desmond Llewelyn. So perhaps there is something in the dialogue with Llewelyn in Bond films that cracks the thing wide open. Or......following on the Egyptian score, Llewelyn apparently played a senator in the 1963 film Cleopatra which might be the actual "book" for the cipher in combination with "8", or "8" or "20", and either the World Clock, or the Set Theory Clock. All of this would information would have been available to the artist at the time of creation. But, point is, whenever a person creates anything artifacts of their lives sneak into it. And in the case of artists, thats not a mistake its intentional. Thoughts?
