If this starts getting into Freemason stuff I think we're going to be busy for a while.

Yeah, I did a little bit of research. The Freemasons are a fraternity organisation, and they apply theories of architecture to philosophy and theistic beliefs. They also perform rituals of some kind.

Every freemason has to have a belief in a supreme being/god, but their take on it is to their own, so it's members can be varying faiths (it is forbidden to discuss religion or politics within a Masonic Lodge, a place where rituals are held).

Regardless of what kind of belief they have, within rituals, the supreme being/god is referred to as the Great Architect of the Universe. Quite relevant with all the god hints in the game so far :3.

Perhaps there may be links to the sacred geometry/metatron cube thing somewhere.

Looking at the dates in the QR code within a Space theme, you get these matches :

1955 - Conquest of Space (film) (1955)
1958 - Monkey lost after space flight / Formation of NASA
1960 - The Apollo program was conceived early in 1960
1961 - Yuri Gargarin first man in Space.
1967 - The Outer Space Treaty of 1967
1969 - Apollo 11 - First man on the Moon
1971 - Apollo 14 mission to the moon
1977 - Launch of Voyager 1 space probe
2003 - Columbia space shuttle explodes on re-entry
2005 - European Space Agency announced frozen water found on Mars


Quite a few important matches.

So I was thinking - if the audio has secrets, what about the cover.jpg? Could something be embedded using steganography?

I've played with it a bit and been unable to discover anything.

Told you guys at the beginning of the week already and nobody wanted to reply to my (indeed rather short) Freemasonry and Space idea: http://bit.ly/HYwmli ;)

Might be of interest though that googling "Freemasons monolith" brings us to a Buzz Aldrin video with a mysterious black monolith on Mars' moon. This dates to 2009.

unfortunately we can't be sure if this wasn't how the monolith solution was meant to be found :\

this may have been pointed out already but the spectrogram images were not on the same tracks available as part of the preorder, they were added to the songs in the full album

i.e. puzzle.mp3 in the preorder pack and puzzle.mp3 in the full album are not the same

also Truman was president during the Cold War (correct?), which played a big role in the space program 

he was also a total douche

Seems this game isn't quite over yet...

I was the one who originally compiled the crop circles in the game and I was quite upset that they didn't really lead anywhere. Prehaps they will give you guys some clues in cracking these codes. Anyhow I am pretty much done with Fez for awhile so I compiled everything into an imgur album I had.

Here you go. Good luck!

Here's my notes from 360 Achievements, since everyone seems to have gone home after the monolith was solved.

Solved? or just found?
