    @@mydogs5040 Don't know about the first two, but yes the abbreviation of Maine or ME is used for the two symbols on either side of the center 5 (8K8M8--best I can do typing right now). You break the 13 key by completing NAME (5) NAME on each side. It is a mirrored code by the way. The center 5 is the main deception because people assume that it is like a cryptogram wherein the three 8's are for a certain letter and on the surface you can do so, but that is not the purpose of it. You take it and use it as a sliding key. Just as the later ME-37 is not a body count and instead a reference back to the Bates letters and regarding a religious theme.

    The reason it changed so much (at least according to them) is because it was modified with the previous ciphers as it developed. The only thing they are truly accomplishing is adding their own code to it which will modify it for future generations that will no longer have access to, copies of, or memories of the original.

    A computer will contain the recorded information of false perceptions as well. Think about that one for a little and the problem becomes more evident. The associations to any particular set of facts that are linked together will be false and yet unfalsifiable at any given moment during the decryption process. That will continue until a point is reached wherein there are numerous "best solutions" (and by numerous I mean innumerable). I will give just a brief example with just two symbols... 9--(may be a reverse letter "P") 9--(may be the letter "I") 9--(may translate to 7, 9 and 11) 9--(may just mean September) 9--(may mean ADD and switch to plus symbol) 9--(may switch to a FIVE due to numerical equality) PLUS SYMBOL + PLUS=68 ADD=9 AND=19 Now, those three immediately above can be modified with the state abbreviation of "CA"... PLUS1 ADD3 AND This and the original will make... Sept. 27, 1969 That may be familiar to some who look into this...The time of six thirty may contain numerous references too. However, the most likely is a directional reference to look for more evidence "SOUTH". This is why the name associations and watch history are important (if true that is).

    Just because he wrote in English in one letter doesn’t mean the rest of the chiphers translates into English. The (in all fairness highly debated) letter to the Chronicle in February 14, 1974 mention ”old norse” for instance. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the later ciphers correspond to a lesser known language, but perhaps a language the Zodiac is at least somewhat familiar with. Though it’s fair to point out that the word ”sla”, which the Zodiak believed meant ”kill” in old Norse, in reality means ”hit” or ”punch”. Also, it’s spelled ”slå”. But even so, the Zodiak may have used another language, even one he didn’t know that well. If so, it would be characteristic of him to use a lesser known language, and in his nature to spell it wrong.

Harden's DNA is on the worksheets etc and his voice has been broadcast many times on TV - yet Zodiac victim Bryan Hartnell states that he has not heard Zodiac's voice since that encounter at Lake Berryessa in 1969.

    Okay, so where is the rest? This is probably then end-all-be-all of the entire case. A supercomputer network somewhere that "screwed" society up and the original "Z" (if there was) was a person and part of a group trying to decipher part of the lower level programming that they were seeing and/or finding somewhere. Leaked out of a corporation somewhere when in first development and that would not be too surprising to say the least.

    Let's look at that strange group letters "AI"... 1) cIA 2) zo-IAc 3) en-IAc The alleged "Canaanite" (caine/eniac) city of "Ai" (AI) is mentioned twenty-two times in Joshua Eight (KJV) along with Mount Ebal (Abel) to refer back to the Genesis story of Cain and Abel. The chapter has thirty-five verses (the letter "I") and probably is designed to mesh somehow with the Z13 cipher with that letter being centered at position seven which contains one of the three circled eight symbol. A possible test would be with (at a minimum) five letter words such that the grouping of either "AI" or "IA" places the letter "I" at the center. Also, thirteen letter words or phrases such that that scenario takes place. It might yield very interesting results. Of particular note is that verse thirty-four has twenty-six words (the letter "Z") while verse thirty-five has thirty-four words (the eighth letter "H"). Finally, there are four ciphers, but the third cipher is in two groups of fifteen and seventeen. These can be converted into alphabetical state listings in ascending order (once swapping the Z32): 1) 408=8th state=DE 2) 13=13th state=IL 3) 15=15th state=IA 4) 17=17th state=KY 5) 340=40th state=SC When centering as outlined above, the the five letters are "ILIAK" (which may then be anagrammed).

    I thinkt that some how Ross and Lawrence knew each other. Maybe Ross was contacted by Lawrence after the arrest of young students, who where producing a film with a murder. Ross played as the murder in this short film. This was in the newspaper and police was called to go the scene. Maybe Ross was the mastermind and Lawrence the killer??? Ross was in '61/64 in a mental hospital for criminally insane?? For what incident was he there???? Lawrence Kane was diagnosed with psychoneurosis hysteria. Had an accident with brain injury. So what if Ross had also the same interest about writing codes, at least Lawrence had to do something with sending codes at the navy. Both had maybe a wish, killing people, who knows? 2 People knows more then one! Ross is the producer and Lawrence Kane is the main acter. And it makes allot more difficult to solve it. I hope History channel will also do cases like: Bende van Nijvel Operation Gladio

This is now up as a short very unexciting video on my new YT channel. I agree with you on a computer likely not solving 340. However I have come up with a final configuration for this cipher and a partial solution (contains Lake Berryessa apposite biblical text refs) which I submitted to police in my jurisdiction on Sept 6, 2018. I also cracked a morse based code within the Riverside Confession letter which I have released. 'Intestis as I hone Z...' Please click on the R profile icon to see. Thanks

That wasn’t me on the TV show, which brings up a point about me. I am not afraid of the gas chamber because it will send me to paradice all the sooner, because I now have enough slaves to work for me, where everyone else has nothing when they reach paradise so they are afraid of death.

    Yet another smoke and mirrors effort from History Channel, keep giving us little snippets teasing that they broke the Z340 cipher only to hit us with a solution that looked like a kid trying to fit random words into a crossword puzzle. They claim some letters aren't encrypted and represent themselves, the first 4 characters of the cipher are HER>, which they claim is HERE that means the letters HER represent themselves and aren't encrypted, yet the E at the end of HERE is represented by > so that claim falls apart right away. If letters only sometimes represent themselves then you can move the goalposts to suit whatever solution you like best. This problem repeats itself throughout the apparent solution, if the fundamental building blocks they used to construct the rest of the message are so badly flawed then anything built on it is a waste of time. I knew where this program was heading when they started making bizarre leaps like deciding that gravel would be a good projectile for a bomb Zodiac trolled the police about, then having a sniffer dog sniff around a random tree next to a random gravel road, at which point they decided this was a good place to search, some guy then spends about 5 minutes stabbing the ground with a plastic mine searching probe, then starts to dig while excitedly exclaiming that the ground has already been disturbed, yeah you just spent 5 minutes stabbing it with that stupid plastic probe.

    The idea that the letter "E" is represented by two different characters is normal in a Cypher. This was present in the decoded Zodiak letter. One decoding tactic is character frequency. You count up the quantity of each symbol in the whole text and rank them in order of most frequent to least frequent. You then take the English alphabet frequency rank and match them up. Since "E" is the most used letter in English, whichever symbol appeared the most most likely is E. To combat this, a key will take all the most common letters (R, S, T, L, E... just like in Wheel of Fortune!) and intentionally create multiple symbols that map to one letter, in order to make them appear less frequent and to create conflicts, like the one you cited (two different symbols can't be E, can they?!) So, no, it does not "fall apart" as you say because of this. I have an encryption/decryption ring which has two symbols that both represent the letter E for this very reason. When writing a Cypher, you can use either symbol for E, as both will always decode to E.
