- Reports trickled in of an email that was sent out to various individuals (how they were selected is still being determined), shown below:
HISTORY CIRCLING BACK UPON US
|
- (italics added) The italicized lines linked to halo3.com (the 'random' code attached to the links is a tracking tool, and likely insignificant)
- On the wall in the image is visible this glyph:
- Camperman determined that the setting of that picture is the Halo 3 map "Desolation" (screenshot), which is described as
"Once a scientific outpost, this derelict Forerunner facility waits patiently to be reactivated." - Following the command "Look for the signs", 50401 noticed the appearance of a new symbol in the visor of Master Chief at Halo3.com:
- At approximately 2:49 PM PDT, AR updated his avatar image in the forum to match the discovered glyph, with a file named Chrysopteron.gif
- Note that "Chrysopteron" is referenced as an epithet for Iris (in Greek mythology, the messenger of the gods), the Latin translating to "golden winged"
- As well as the mythological connection to Iris, it is also an asteroid in the main belt (note the number: 7)
- AR then began a new thread entitled Who?

- Late afternoon, halo3.com was updated showing 5 locked 'servers'
- crazyboy3 reported at bungie.net a new comic available at halo3.com/comic, from a Circuit City ad which pointed to the url. The comic includes a large, blatant image of the glyph:
- The final page of the comic also allows you to interact with the frames, revealing 4 sets of numbers:
- Treating the numbers as an IP address leads to 206.16.223.65 (link) - a website which includes a countdown pointing to 12:00AM, June 21 (midnight, wed-thu)
- Also discovered at args.bungie.org was another ip: 206.16.223.63, leading to an 'average' website for the Society of the Ancients - investigating unexplained mysteries of the past. The evidence page discusses mysterious symbols, and gives reference to our friendly glyph, and links to 206.16.223.65 "also containing the symbol".
- The domain was then discovered by irasel after coming across a myspace blog entry (link) referencing SOTA, as the domains www.societyoftheancients.com and www.sota.com.
- SOTA gives people the ability to fill in an application for membership, applying to the organization. At the time of discovery, the email mailto: link was blank/invalid. However, there's a link to an application PDF that can be filled out and sent.
- Upon sending in the application form to the indicated email DoYouGrok[splat]societyoftheancients.com, a failure message is sent right back -- at this point the email address has not yet been activated.
June 15, 2007
- Okin reported that during a live rally in Times Square, a flyer was handed out directing people to SOTA

- MTV Games scooped the SOTA rally in Times Square, posting an extensive blog with a video and numerous photos.
June 16, 2007
- At approx. midnight, the countdown text on 206.16.223.65 was updated for the third time.
- SOTA Rallies:
- What started in NYC has spread to other cities...
- e01379 received an email linking to the flickr account of keeper_of_flame, who has added 3 images from another SOTA rally in London, UK
- Reports have also surfaced of SOTA rallies in San Francisco, Vancouver, and Boston
- Shakespeare212 on the Bungie.net forums confirmed with personal photos that rallies/protests for SOTA are going on outside of Wrigley Field in Chicago.
