| [[File:Ac2PigpenCipherKey.png|180px|right|The Pigpen cipher key used in the [[Glyphs|Glyph puzzles]]]]The hidden codes in the Glyph puzzles were generally in [[wikipedia:Morse Code|Morse code]] or use a [[wikipedia:Pigpen Cipher|Pigpen cipher]] (which uses the encryption key shown on the right). Letters were also encoded using [[wikipedia:Binary|binary]] or [[wikipedia:Hexadecimal|hexadecimal]] notation. Messages were sometimes also further encrypted using a [[wikipedia:Caeser cipher|Caeser shift]].

| ==Descendants==
| |
| The first image of [[Franklin D. Roosevelt|Roosevelt]] had some Pigpen symbols on the blackboard frame. These read "THE MASONS BROUGHT IT ACROSS THE SEA GEORGE WASHINGTON PASSED IT ON" (''it'' being [[Third Apple|Roosevelt's Apple]]).
| |
| | |
| In the second image of this puzzle there was this sequence of dots and dashes (Morse code).
| |
| | |
| - .... . -.-- / .... .. - / .... .. -- / .. -. / - .... . / ... - --- -- .- -.-. ....
| |
| | |
| In plain English, this read:
| |
| | |
| "THEY HIT HIM IN THE STOMACH"
| |
| | |
| This could of been related to [[Harry Houdini|Houdini]], who was killed by getting multiple blows to the stomach which caused peritonitis, secondary to a ruptured appendix.
| |
| | |
| The third image (of Gandhi) also contained Morse code:
| |
| | |
| - .... . / -... ..- .-.. .-.. . - / .... .. - / .... .. -- / .. -. / - .... . / -.-. .... . ... -
| |
| This reading in English "THE BULLET HIT HIM IN THE CHEST". Gandhi was assassinated by gunfire.

| ===Leading the young to their end===
| |
| Hidden text was present in the lower right quarter of the photo, below a small hexagon. The raw text was
| |
| 41 6e 74 69 6b 79 74
| |
| 68 65 72 61 20 4d 65
| |
| 63 68 61 6e 69 73 6d

| 68 61 6e 20 31 35 30
| |
| 20 42 2e 43 2e 45 2e
| |
| | |
| and was decoded as hexadecimal ASCII to read "[[Wikipedia:Antikythera mechanism|Antikythera Mechanism]], much older than 150 B.C.E".
| |
| | |
| ===The flames from its throat poke out their eyes===
| |
| A block of hidden text was located in the upper left corner of the photo. The raw text was:
| |
| 65 110 99 105 101 110
| |
| 116 32 99 105 116 121
| |
| 44 32 82 97 106 97 115
| |
| 116 104 97 110 44 32

| |
| 32 105 114 114 97 100
| |
| 105 97 116 101 100 32
| |
| 98 121 32 80 111 69
| |
| | |
| A decoding clue of "A=65" was present above the area that had to be identified to advance to the next part of the puzzle. In ASCII the letter A corresponded to the number 65, and the hidden text was decoded to read "Ancient city, Rajasthan, India, irradiated by PoE".
| |
| | |
| ===The monster did not come from man===
| |
| A narrow column of hidden text stretched from the face of the sitting man to his upturned hand. The raw text was:
| |
| 01010011
| |
| 01110101
| |
| 01101101
| |
| 01100101

| |
| 00110010
| |
| 00110011
| |
| 00101110
| |
| | |
| Above this text was the decoding clue, "b-2", which indicated the text was written in base 2 (aka binary). When decoded as binary ASCII the hidden text read "Sumerian. Me 23.", referring to the Sumerian Tablets of Destiny. Me 23 governed weaponry, which implied that the Piece of Eden that helped the Chinese invent gunpowder weapons was synonymous with the 23rd Me.

| At the end of this puzzle there was another series of dots and dashes.
| |
| | |
| - . -- .--. .-.. .- .-. - . -..- - ... .- -.. .- .--. - . -.. -... -.-- -- .-. .-.-.- ... -- .. - ....
| |
| | |
| This was translated to read:

| ==Martyrs==
| |
| ===Czar Nicholas II, Russia===
| |
| The photo of [[Nicholas II of Russia|Czar Nicholas II]] contained the following hidden text to the right of Nicholas' [[The Staff|staff]]:
| |
| 00110001
| |
| 00110111
| |
| 00100000

| |
| 00110001
| |
| 00111000
| |
| | |
| When interpreted as binary ASCII, the hidden text reads "17 July, 1918", which was the date Czar Nicholas II was executed.
| |
| | |
| ===Joan of Arc, France===
| |
| The photo of [[Jeanne d'Arc]] contained the following hidden text to the right of Jeanne's [[The Sword|sword]]:
| |
| 00110011

| ''HQ has given the go-ahead to extract the resource. Negotiations are over. [[John F. Kennedy|F.]] is planning to give the vote to everyone. Reason just doesn't work with someone like that.''
| |
| | |
| ''I'll send you the driver. We've trained him with [[Second Apple|PE2]] in our labs, he shouldn't be any trouble.''

| |
| | |
| ==Apollo==
| |
| The first photo of the moon (Find the Eagle) contained hidden text on the moon. The text was made up of symbols such as ⊡ and ⟓.
| |
| | |
| These were icons from the Masonic code. It translated to
| |
| | |
| "[[Lyndon B. Johnson|Johnson]] was one of them. The bees drone too. Follow the money."
| |
| | |
| In the lunar landing photograph (Apollo 11 photograph released to the public), the American flag on the landing module was actually the [[Abstergo]] logo, and the flag planted on the surface of the moon beared the [[Templar]] cross.
| |
| | |
| == The Inventor ==
| |
| There were three blocks of hidden text in the photo of [[Nikola Tesla|Tesla]]'s [[Wikipedia:Wardenclyffe Tower|Wardenclyffe Tower]]. Each was a quote attributed to Tesla:
| |
| *"Fights between individuals, as well as governments and nations, invariably result from misunderstandings in the broadest interpretation of this term."
| |
| *"Money does not represent such a value as man has placed upon it. All my money has been invested in experiments with which I have made new discoveries enabling mankind to have a little easier life."
| |
| *"Misunderstandings are always caused by the inability of appreciating one another's point of view. The best way to dispel ignorance of the doings of others is by a systematic spread of general knowledge. With this object in view, it is most important to aid exchange of thought and intercourse."
| |
| | |
| There was also a code hidden in the lightning in the picture of Tesla's Lab:
| |
| JG WUGF KV VQ
| |
| FGXGNQR C DQVVQONGUU UQWTEG
| |
| QH GPGTIA. VGNGHWPMGP
| |
| YKTGNGUU UVCVKQP.
| |
| The clue to decoding this text was "A=C", which was found in front of the sphere. By substituting each letter with the letter in the alphabet two before it, the real message can be read:<br />
| |
| "He used it to develop a bottomless source of energy. Telefunken Wireless Station."
| |
| | |
| ===Letter===
| |
| ''The economic transmission of power without wires is of all-surpassing importance to man.''
| |
| | |
| ''By its means, he will gain complete mastery of the air, the sea, and the desert. It will enable him to dispense with mining, pumping, transporting and burning fuel, and so do away with innumerable causes of sinful waste. It will make the living glorious sun his obedient, toiling slave.''
| |
| | |
| ''It will bring peace and harmony on Earth.''
| |

| |
| ''Dear [[J. P. Morgan|Mr. Morgan]],''
| |
| | |
| ''A serious matter has come to my attention. Nikola Tesla plans to use [[Fourth Apple|PE4]] to create an information network across the entire world. And if that weren't bad enough, he intends to allow access to it for free! Imagine the masses spreading knowledge amongst themselves instantaneously. That would make everything we intend to do much more difficult.''
| |
| | |
| ''You must cut all funding for his experiments at once! In case you get cold feet, I'll have you know he wants to make electricity free as well, thereby putting us out of business.''
| |
| | |
| ''I've already begun slandering Tesla in the press. Just reallocate his funding and I'll take care of PE4 myself.''
| |
| | |
| ''Sincerely yours, ''[[Thomas Edison]]
| |
| | |
| | |
| ''Dear Mr. Edison,''
| |
| | |
| ''I wanted to thank you for letting me make use of PE4 all these years. Among other things, I was able to convince the workers I was raising their pay to $5 a day, when, in fact, I gave them a pay cut. But, I had to let PE4 go. As per instructions, I've shipped it to Europe.''
| |
| | |
| ''[[Adolf Hitler|H.]] has it, so I assume the war will begin as soon as he can take over. We'll let him have his fun (Lord knows, that kind of purge will be good for Europe) and then end it with a bang, as planned. Out of the chaos of war a new order will emerge! I've enclosed a picture from Florida of you, me and [[Harvey Firestone|Firestone]]. We should attempt to spend more time on the golf course this summer.''

| ''Subject: Test Authorization''
| |

| ''We know what they have done to your lab, to your career. It may be too late to set things right, but you can help prevent something far worse. They have taken an object from [[Nicholas II of Russia|the Czar]], and are conducting experiments in [[Tunguska explosion|Tunguska]] to figure out how to use it. Before they do, we must take it from them or the world will be in danger. We do not ask that you risk your life, just that, when the time comes, you use your electricity to destroy the object.''

| | |
| ''We respect your freedom above all else.''
| |
| | |
| ==The Bunker==
| |
| The bunker photo (captioned "We watched the exit from above. He didn't see us coming") contained hidden text on the wall of the bunker. The raw text was:
| |
| AOL KVBISL
| |
| DHZ RPSSLK
| |
| PU AOL
| |
| IBURLY
| |
| | |
| The decoding clue "A=H" was located above the window of the cylindrical building with the conic roof. The decoded text was "THE DOUBLE WAS KILLED IN THE BUNKER".
| |
| | |
| ===Letter===
| |
| ''May 02, 1945''
| |
| | |
| ''The [[World War II|war]] is over and we are in control, as planned. But a slight concern has arisen. I received word from our agents in Berlin. [[Adolf Hitler|H.]] was supposed to execute his double inside the bunker and meet [[Winston Churchill|C.]] at the rendezvous point with the [[Fourth Apple|Piece of Eden]].''
| |

| ===Headline===
| |
| ''ISSUE 1, JANUARY 2012''
| |
| | |
| ''The scientific community is abuzz as the results of a new neurological study were made public today. What seemed to be big news in itself-that Dr. Yijie Wu and Dr. P.J. Traunero had discovered a new neurotransmitter-turned out to be just the tip of the iceberg.''
| |
| | |
| ''To quote Dr. Wu, "Using a prototype dMRI machine, we've been able to examine the contents of an actual neuron in living tissue. We've found a substance that appears to be an undiscovered neurotransmitter."''
| |
| | |
| ''"[Here's] where it gets crazy. To test our findings, we subjected the neuron to all kinds of stimuli, but we couldn't get it to release the transmitter. So, we've discovered an entire mechanism; there are vesicles filled with neurotransmitters lying dormant and corresponding ion channels, all with no discernable purpose."''
| |
| | |
| ''Expressing bafflement that natural selection would create an unnecessary neurotransmitter, Wu and Traunero searched for a predecessor in other species, with no luck.''
| |
| | |
| ''"Whatever this bugger is used for, it evolved in [[humans]]," Traunero told the press.''

| ''We can't let the truth get out, they'll find out about the [[Pieces of Eden|artifacts]]. It will cause too much disruption, too much chaos. Bury our [[wikipedia:Ardi|constructed skeletons]] near [[wikipedia:Tim D. White|Tim White]]'s expedition in Ethiopia. We'll give them their missing link.''

| ''The birth of [[Humans|humanity]]. [[The Truth|The truth]] makes me sick.''
| |
| | |
| ==The Fourth Day==
| |
| The picture of the sun had four quotations hidden within it. Each quote had to do with the power of the sun, and its prophesized role in destroying the world. The quotes were:
| |
| *"They died in the fire from the heavens."
| |
| *"Near the day of purification, there will be cobwebs spun back and forth in the sky. -Hopi"
| |
| *"Toba, Ioke was not a volcano."
| |
| *"A container of ashes might one day be thrown from the sky, which could burn the land and boil the oceans. -Hopi"

| ''Missing''' ''-.. .- .-. -.- -. . ... ... .-.. --- ... - -.. -. ..- -- -...'''
| |
| | |
| The Morse Code translated to: DAR KNESS LOSTD NUMB
| |
| | |
| After this, a number of images were shown which contained a number of hidden codes, each decrypted using the Vignere cipher:

| ''July 22, 1944''
| |
| | |
| ''Fellow, rulers, welcome.''
| |
| | |
| ''I deliver this speech to you as, several floors below us, a silent revolution begins.''
| |
| | |
| ''"[[Ransom Eli Olds|Ranny Olds]] and [[Henry Ford]]. As many of you know, these founders gave us the assembly line, the device we have used to control both (this indoctrinated into the worship of our money (?) ) capitalists and workers (slaves (?) ) alike. But I dream of a future in which such ugly chains will no longer be necessary. In 1910, our founders designed the Plan, it falls to us to see it through."''
| |
| | |
| ''"But, what of the Communists, who intend to spread the bread so thin that everyone will starve? It is our duty to (neutralise (?) ) them and their followers. We muse ensure that the continue to eat, to reproduce, to be productive members of society. That is our burden, to shepherd those beneath us through life, and we must embrace it, even if (force is required (?) ) they themselves do not."''
| |
| | |
| ''"[[Adolf Hitler|H.]] and [[Joseph Stalin|S.]] brought on the turmoil and fear necessary, now we must strike fast to ensure the development continues in the proper direction. We will appear to concede ground against the workers, remember the successful ruse of Rockefeller's dimes, but soon there will be no ground we do not own."''
| |
| | |
| ''"In 1937, we founded [[Abstergo Industries|this company]], this enterprise, with a purpose. The time to nurture it to fruition is upon us."''

| |
| The image hidden within the Quarantine Zone was seen in its entirety at the [http://www.turing.org.uk/turing/scrapbook/run.html Alan Turing Scrapbook].
| |
| ==Cluster 5==
| |
| Near the beginning of the puzzle, a number of images were presented that contained numerous hidden messages, each deciphered using the LUXJ = FORD Caesar cipher:
| |
| | |
| ''ATOZKJ LXAOZ IUSVGTE, AY HGTQY, IGX IUSVGTOKY ZXGTYLKXXKJ ZNKOX IUXVUXGZK JKHZ ZU ZNK GXMKTZOTK VAHROI.'' = "United Fruit Company, US banks, car companies transferred their corporate debt to the Argentine public."

| ''Re: Argentina''
| |
| | |
| ''"Tell the Capitalists that if they help ensure the the Junta remain in power, we will pass all their corporate debt on to the Argentine people. That will ensure that they crush any popular revolt. I want the trade unions destroyed if we are to move forward."''

| ''Re: Chile''
| |
| | |
| ''"he free market must be allowed to prevail. F.'s visit last year helped things along, but now all companies must be sold to the private sector, ideally on the cheap.

| |
| | |
| ''[[Henry Kissinger]].''
| |
| ===Quarantine Zone===
| |
| At the end of the puzzle, the image behind the Quarantine Zone contained the text:
| |
| | |
| ''"Wages should be (lowered to keep the middle class subservient to us (?)) left to the fair and free competition of the market, and should never be controlled by the interference of (a popularly elected government(?)) the legislature."''
| |
| | |
| On either side of the text was two Templar symbols, each inscribed with the letters "IHSV", an acronym for "In Hoc Signo Vinces". This phrase is Latin for "You will conquer in this sign."
| |
| ==Cluster 6==
| |
| At the beginning of the puzzle, multiple images were shown that contained two musical scores. Each score consisted of a hidden message:
| |
| | |
| ''"Bretton Woods began it. The IMF delivers."''
| |
| | |
| ''"The most favorable condition for reform is a weary public."''

| ''I am writing this letter to encourage you to act. One rarely finds oneself in such an opportune position. Gorbachev does not have our interests at heart. He is moving far too slowly to privatize and my greatest fear is that he has no intention of doing so at all. I understand that you have expressed similar concerns. With that in mind, here is something to remedy the situation.''
| |
| | |
| ''Several of my top advisors at the Company maintain a monetary connection with the Communist old guard. They tell me that a riot might be easily incited while Gorbachev is away.

| Near the beginning of the puzzle, numerous images were shown that contained numerous hidden codes. The key to the codes' decryption was located on the image of George W. Bush, which depicted the words ''"We the people..."'' marked as ''"1 2 3"''. The way to decode the messages was to relate each number of the hidden message to a word on the U.S Constitution and to take the first letter of that word:
| |
| | |
| ''230, 129, 213, 218, 251, 261, 194, 35, 11, 263, 9, 261, 203, 214, 225, 77: 192, 153, 67, 20, 280, 241, 143, 20, 251, 221, 114, 254, 159, 121, 81, 279, 47, 61, 169.'' = The final frontier: Destruction as profit.
| |

| |
| | |
| ''251, 280, 53, 107, 181, 254, 274, 133, 183, 24, 223, 214, 9, 291, 284, 259, 267, 234, 136, 255, 279, 203, 129, 88, 162, 8, 28, 79, 102, 147, 48, 204, 202, 192, 41, 225, 263, 242.'' = Iraq was auctioned off to the highest bidders.

| |
| *'''Diana: '''Well, that's funny. Are you sure it isn't just one of those premium movie channels? I didn't used to have a premium package at home either and sometimes little snippets of the channels would come through when my son Jimmy pressed the clicker too much.

| |
| *'''Mr. Jameson: '''It's not the Guide channel. It has my name on it, my son's name and a list of things we like, my credit card purchases, loans, travel. And then, after that, there's this gibberish about biometric patterns and optimal screen refresh frequencies. There's some kind of heart monitor thing that says EEG wireless next to it and ARAS.

| Abnormal Brain Activity Discovered in Children, Aged 3 Months to 18-Years-Old and Adults, Aged 19-30.
| |
| | |
| Abstract.
| |
| | |
| Several recent studies conducted by internal marketing teams revealed that: "Entertainment sales are dropping, protests are mounting. The economy is in turmoil. All market research indicates that the system should be stabilizing, but, instead, we're seeing the opposite." (1) In response, our team set out to discover the cause of the declining efficacy of Abstergo's control methods.
| |
| | |
| Past studies of bilateral brain activation during television, film and video game use have shown the characteristic ARAS patterns induced by Abstergo's signal patterns. Our study was conducted on a range of test subjects (30 subjects, aged +-10 to +-30), who viewed TV programs while resting-state fMRI scans were conducted.
| |
| | |
| In contrast to previous studies, 80% of test subjects showed heightened cortical brain activity. Detailed scans using our prototype dMRI machine revealed an increased rate of neuronal development (+-30% over that of older age groups). Such a marked increase does not fit Darwinian models. Further studies are required to define the ultimate outcome of this abnormal evolution.

| *'''Unknown man: '''If you are playing this tape, it means I have left this world, and I have left this grand enterprise, Abstergo Industries, our great hope for humanity, to you. Don't trust the advisors around you. They are too enamored with surface, with lifestyle. We created capitalism, but we are not capitalists. Our purpose is noble. The crude system of control we enact through money is merely a bandage on a wound we have devoted our lives to treating. The people of this world are confused, lost, frightened and incapable of independant productivity. Without us, they'd just be animals, slaves to the Others, who did not deserve such responsibility. We saved them, remember that. But enough about the past. I must warn you of the great crisis to come. Although those around will deny it, soon we will be unable to manufacture new markets. The people will become immune to our economists and entertainment. When the free market dies they will turn against us. Therefore, do not delay, by now you have been shown what only the Grand Masters of our Order have seen. Now you know why Abstergo, why all of it had to be...and now you know what you must do. Stay the course. We will give them freedom. Freedom from fear. Freedom from pornography, from disgusting, base animal desires. Freedom from democracy. Humanity will thank us in the end. In Hoc Signo Vinces.
