I am a little stunned that none of the solutions have anything to do with the fact that the puzzle is made of holes in a sheet of metal that will cast the letters on the floor infront of the sculpture which would reverse the rows as the bottom rows would now appear at the top in the shadow of the scroll. Sanborn has been talking about light and shadow in K1 and used such language when commenting about the puzzle as a whole. He specifically said that there are encoding systems that use light and shadow and that these systems are the ones he is most interested in. Yet, none of the solution paths have anything to do with this unique property of the puzzle.

Also, the double-curve nature of the sculpture would mean that one piece of the text would be projected in the morning, as the sun rises on the east side -- and the other would be more visible in the evening, as the sun sets on the west side.

Ай бұрын

I tend to agree with this. I am not an expert cryptographer but I have been invested in the topic from a young age, especially around the history of famous codes. One thing that I learnt is that any sort of code that takes this long to break, is simply a troll. Any method of encryption that a human mind can use, even one that they created themselves not based upon an already existing cypher, is reversible or the plain text can be extracted. There is in fact no event in history since the 60s where actually decryptable code, has remained encrypted for this long before being found out. Every single time it's either that the text was never meant to be something that can be decrypted. The fact Kryptos K4 stays not even extracted for this long when we have machines and information like we do today, meanwhile the entire other part of Kryptos was decrypted in just 2 days by a bunch of interns, is proof that the entire puzzle has no solution. Nothing to be obtained at the end or understood. Like Sanborn said in interviews, it's just a form of long art.

K1 mentions light and shadow an an illusion. The morse code tablets are arranged outward almost like fragments of a greater whole, the Berline clock tells time using a morse-like pattern, the bronze cap has compass points on it, and the sculpture allows light to pass through it. The K4 text reads "eastnortheast", and geocoordinates were mentioned earlier. The shadow of the sculpture itself is the key, probably while looking at a specific direction at a certain time of day.

I wonder if anyone has tried reading one half of the sculpture THROUGH the other half (the light of the sun casting shadows as though they're superimposed upon one another). I'd assume the compass pointing to the lodestone, coordinates mentioned in the solved part of the code and/or the East North East Berlin might provide the direction the sculpture is intended to be read through OR the direction in which the sun needs to be shining in order to provide the solution. All of that aside, what a beautiful piece of art! Not just the "main" sculpture, but the whole interactive experience. Absolutely wonderful ☺

But, I'll repeat it again, below, in case anyone has anything they want to add, if not some feedback, constructive criticisms, etc. I'm thinking that K4 could be related to the Compass Rose (shown at 1:25), since it points to the lodestone on one end, but on the opposite end, it is pointing to East-North-East (one of the K4 hints given at 41:30). Of course, you'll need to refer to an image of a 16-wind Compass Rose (which can be found online), to confirm this for yourself. On another note, if we were looking at the face of a Clock, where North is equal to 12 o'clock, this hand would be pointing at 2 o'clock, which may be potentially related to the "Clock" reference (in the K4 hints at 41:30) as well as the "X Layer Two" reference (mentioned at 37:45).

Surely it's not a coincidence that the compass rose is pointing west-southwest and the k4 plaintext contains the phrase east-northeast? Thats the exact opposite direction...

I would rate the chance that this is the correct solution as low 😅

41:05 - how about Urania-Weltzeituhr clock instead? If you look at this clock from above you can see that it is divided into 12 parts, like on compass..

I’ve got a semblance of a theory that the mistakes in the text of K1-3 might actually help unlock K4 somehow. The misplaced/mistake letters are Q, U, E and A. Which with the extra ‘mistake’ L from the Vigienere table could spell out Equal. This could be 1 layer of the code 🤷🏼‍♂️ I’m sure that someone far smarter than me has already noticed and tried this, but it’s something that jumped to my mind while watching

Some interesting facts i have found; the original location of the Berlin Clock mentioned in the video was on the intersection of two streets: Kurfürstendamm and Uhlandstraße; the street called Kurfürstendamm is a EAST-NORTHEAST bound street which ends at the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church; notable places located EAST-NORTHEAST of the Berlin Clock: the embassy of the USA, Academy of Arts in Berlin and the Berlin Cathedral.

Maybe rotating the clock/ morse code in a similar fashion to what was done previously?

two immediate observations/theories I have regarding K4 involve the idea that the KRYPTOS table itself might have to be altered to decode it, either by: A) Shifting the table down two rows so that the L on the left side is in line with the right hand one but keeping the horizontal position the same. B) flipping the table so the L is on the Left hand side (This could be done IRL by simply walking around to the other side of the statue) C) some combination of the two.

You never know what contribution might end up solving a problem like this. Experts and seasoned veterans of any profession faced with a problem often have tunnel vision, thinking about problems with the same set of solutions every time. The idiom "fresh set of eyes" didn't just show up one day, it was inducted into the English lexicon for a reason. Sometimes a problem requires the insight that a more basic or simple perspective provides.

@doctorworm420

Yeah, I think that's why there are so many superfluous Es they're just a pip/dit so they can be used to make the shape symmetrical and the RQ SOS ruins that. I think the R is a C there's only one dit difference C is dit-dah-dit-dah and R is dit-dah-dit-dah-dit CQ SOS means "I am sending a distress call" or "Have you heard my distress call?" Which I think refers to the Can you see Q?or Can you CQ? The artist wants to know if we've received his message.

Thank you for posting this. A wonderful walk through my mental hobbies. And you've given me the first smile of my day. Thanks again.

So... does nobody think that palimpsest is a very conspicuous choice of word? The way that you can read a manuscript that was scraped and reused is because you can scan it for the indentations and fragments of ink that the first pen had made. Often this is managed because the original text doesn't necessarily overlap with the new text, so it's not fully destroyed. Given the structure of the code text is deliberately reminiscent of a scroll, if I was to hide a secret meaning here I'd have baked it directly into the sculpture itself by adding in slight variations to the copper--bumps or divots, perhaps, though I actually don't know how long a copper statue could last without these being worn to nothing.

I really appreciate how you always add closed captioning, thank you so much!!

On the ? from K3 (36:08) I’m pretty sure it belongs to K4 because the Q probably represents the question mark in the tomb manuscript. Since X is being used to represent a period it would make sense to use letters for other punctuation. And as we know (especially since it was mentioned in the video) Q is one of the most uncommon letters which makes it a perfect candidate to represent “?”. I had a hunch when it was first mentioned at (23:35) but seeing the table basically confirms it.

Such a detailed and well edited video, great work

The one thing that stood out to me is: he had a background in archeology? He might have indeed not used a simple cypher technique, and instead intended for the thing to be cracked like hieroglyphs with some sort of roseta stone or like Asya did with her human, Yuri Knorozov when they cracked the Mayan script. That is to say it might be worth it to try it as a non English text. But I don’t know, I’m not a cryptographer in the slightest.

I think at the end it will point to a physical object or location. There are a lot of direction or coordinate based components and he definitely likes incorporating the physical. He talks about machines a bunch too and how they help break codes and how he likes that. Makes me think of the enigma machine which was invented in Germany (more later). IMO the whole puzzle reads more like a story and sequence of events. Saying that too much expertise can be a bad thing (sic) to me says that cryptographers might be hamstrung by trying to view it purely through the lens of cryptography. In other words just trying to brute force the whole thing with ciphers might get you somewhere but ultimately not put you on the right path. I think it's more like pretend you're in a Dan Brown novel only the puzzle isn't globe-trotting and also it isn't a terrible book. Others have pointed out the Berlin Clock in question (or the one that seems to be the correct clock) is on a street that runs east-northeast. Since he revealed Berlin Clock and east northeast first for K4 I think he's really strong hinting at something in the physical world either being part of the solution or what the solution is pointing at, and that seems appropriate for an archeologist. In the end the whole thing will point to something "buried" in a sense. I'm a storyteller so that's how my mind works. Watching this whole thing and reading some of the comments that seemed astute it just gives me the feeling of if you lay out everything chronologically you might see where there are gaps in the story, what it's narrative is and looking at it from a narrative structure where it might lead to.
