Tindalosian Codex
Thursday, 01 February 2007
The only known copy of this ancient Greek treatise was written on parchments that were later washed clean by a 10th century scribe so that he could use them to copy St. Augustine's writings on the psalms. At a glance, only the Christian scribe's work is visible. Closer examination reveals the original text, faded and illegible, running at 90 degrees to the Christian scribe's lines.

Our Home in The Stars
Thursday, 01 February 2007
This is an HTML document, equivalent to around 30 pages, which is most likely to be encountered on Freenet. Nothing is known about the author, except the name Mark Cordell, which could easily be fake. It discusses how patterns found in unlikely places fit together in 2, 3 and even 4 dimensional space to form what it refers to as a map. It goes on to claim that this "map" can teach us about the universe in some way.

Au Katan
Thursday, 01 February 2007
This tome was written in the 14th century AD in the Coptic language of Egypt. It is a dusty but beautiful relic, hand-written on gilt-edged rag paper and stitched between wooden covers wrapped in faded red leather, decorated with metal and glass inlays. The ink is a curious red-brown color that instantly reminds the reader of dried blood.

Szcymanski Algorithm
Thursday, 01 February 2007
The Szcymanski Algorithm is a relatively simple method for generating strings of random numbers. Szcymanski was working for the Polish millitary when he came up with the algorithm.

It was tested as a basis for one-time-pad encryption, but relatively quickly the algorithm's sinister side was revealed. When messages encrypted with Szcymanski's "random" numbers are subjected to cryptological cracking attempts, it turns out that the numbers tell a story of their own... the Szcymanski Text.

The Deader Tape
Thursday, 01 February 2007
This short, strange videotape is useful as a plot device rather than an information source. It provides the only known record of the activities of a cult centered in Bucharest and known as the "deaders". The grainy tape begins with a group of young people (late teens through twenties) gathered in a poorly lit room.

British Patent No. 2367150
Thursday, 01 February 2007
The patent application was originally filed by a Mr Hammond J. Pike and comprises over one hundred pages of dense description of a device which essentially functions as a perpetual motion machine. The description is littered with obscure references to dubious physical theorems concerning the extraction of energy from the “gaps between universes” and contains page after page of impenetrable formulae and equations.

The Nine Doors to the Kingdom of Shadows
Thursday, 01 February 2007
“The Nine Doors To the Kingdom of Shadows” (also known as “De Umbrarum Regis Novum Portis”, or "Nine Gates" for short), is a quarto-sized tome with a brown leather cover embossed with a pentagram. No other markings adorn the cover or spine, but there is a title page. The book was written by one Aristide Torchia in Venice in 1666. Along with its nigh-impenetrable occult rantings, it contains nine tarot-like woodcut engravings. These are rumoured to be copied from the "Delomelanicon", a possibly apocryphal work attributed to Lucifer himself (but possibly penned by the 16th century free-thinker Giordano Bruno).
