    Easter Eggs

    The Venturian Man (whatever) sketch by Leonardo is the connection I believe.

    Re: Easter Eggs

    Vitruvian man ( I think ), yeah that's what I started looking at first. Am on one at the mo, reading about a show from the 70's called Cosmos presented by Carl Sagan. Reading the episode listings freaked me out a bit as there's a hell of a lot of our eggs in there.

    Leonardo Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man was not part of the Voyager Golden Phonograph Record, the Voyager cover or the Pioneer plaque.

    Hell of a lot is an overstatement...there's a few lol.

    Watch the way it's presented from 0:40 on. The piece of music is most famously from 2001 Space Odyssey. There's some similarities between the movie and some of the clues, but it could just be smoke and mirrors.
    Would you say the music was random or was ANBA & co giving us hints the whole time?



    This is barely worth mentioning but the plot of the first Star Trek movie (1980) has one of the Voyager probes returning to earth from it's quest for knowledge as a...super intelligent conscious cloud....it destroys everything looking for "the Creator" before Kirk and Spock save the day. Only worth mentioning cause of Voyager, and Star Trek, which is JJ Abrams new thing.

    Re: Easter Eggs

    I think you could well be right about Anba hinting there Ender. Obviously I can't speak for anyone else but imo...mention EVERYTHING lol. I'm at the point where I'm jumping from clue to clue to stop it all stagnating for me.

    The Star Trek, Voyager, Abrams thing...nicely connected lol, no idea if it's relevant but still a nice bit of linkage

    Leonardo Da Vinci featured heavily as a Holodeck character in Star Trek Voyager

    The Star Trek novel Prime Directive depicts the Tunguska incident as the result of benevolent Vulcan interference in human history, in which an anthropological survey ship deflected a meteor (that would otherwise have struck Western Europe and destroyed much of civilization) into a largely uninhabited part of the planet.

    Anyone ever spotted Anba cosplaying at a Trekkie convention?

    Re: Easter Eggs

    Has anyone actually confirmed the cave painting as being from the Lascaux caves? I just took a virtual tour and saw nothing like it.

    Easter Eggs

    Check out the wiki, there's a comparison and it's pretty clear as to what it is.

    Re: Easter Eggs

    Maybe I'm just overthinking stuff here as I'm knackered.

    I checked the Wiki Shifty, the words used are " this image is thought to be ".

    Only one image of the painting when I googled it linked to a site that described it as being a Lascaux cave painting.

    When I took the virtual tour of Lascaux I didn't see that image, possibly due to my comp not handling the tour too well.

    I'm having difficulty finding anywhere that tells of any more than one human depicted in all of the Lascaux caves.

    The style of the paintings looks very different.

    Just trying to be thorough here.

    I was the one who found the cave painting... I agree with you 100%. I have taken the virtual tour heaps of times, i have gone through it manually.. I can't find anything on this. There are heaps of images of this cave and all say they are from the same cave... but I have never, for example, seen the same painting from a different angle.

    It is like there was only ever one picture of this taken... Maybe this is a mystery also... where is this painting really???

    You are spot on. I can't find it anywhere?

    Re: Easter Eggs

    Shady mate, I'm not trying to pick holes in anyone's theories and feel a bit bad for getting tenacious on this one tbh as it may be unimportant. I have a working theory on all the eggs being paired up, the cave painting and orion?

    Looking into it though it seemed glaringly obvious Lascaux isn't the origin of this painting. Especially as Lascaux is documented as only having one human figure out of 2000 other images.

    Maybe it'll be unimportant, hope I've still got this eggsmashing energy tomorrow though lol. Bedtime

    No problem picking holes in theories mate. This is why we are here.. it is all for the greater good.

    I agree with you totally, but where does that cave painting come from...It is just too similar for me to leave it alone.. I want to know what that cave painting is. I mean the angles and the image are identical...

    If it was a reference to Orion, I would have expected the hunder image to more closely represent the Orion hunter?
