Yesterday, we innocently posted about the Angels and Demons Trailer.
How closely did you watch it? Did you take a really close look at the rotating “Illuminati” ambigram?
I mean a really close look.
Click on the image above to get a closer look from this frame in the trailer.
See it yet?
No?
Take a look at the same image with the contrast increased, and the brightness dropped down:
Again, you can click on the image above to get a closer look.
See it now?
Upon close inspection, you should see the very first clue in the developing viral mystery of the upcoming Angels and Demons movie release. You’ll see the words “Altars of Science” embedded in the Illuminati ambigram (the detectives over at Video ETA successfully broke through this first clue).
So, what do you do with the “Altars of Science” clue? Good question.
Again, the Video ETA guys figured this one out. You do what any self-respecting Internet citizen would do, and you head over to the web site domain that is formed from that phrase. However, the Video ETA guys, and the bloggers that followed posted that the site only appears to get you a count-down to the movie’s release date.
Doesn’t it seem like there should be more than just a video count-down to the movie?
There is nothing on that page except the video, right?
Look more closely…
Not at the page itself, but what’s behind the page.
Try clicking on “View | Source”. You will see that there is one single paragraph that is normally invisible from view. Read what it says about the “four pillars”? What are the “four pillars”? Do you remember what they represent in the book?
Like the mystery itself, it’s a trail of sorts…
Warning: Spoiler #1 coming up.
…if you like a mystery, and like to figure them out yourself, you should stop reading here.
OK, you were warned.
In “Angels and Demons”, the “four pillars” represent the “Path of Illumination”.
So, what do you do with THAT information? Well, the “Path of Illumination” leads to the next clue, and will provide for you the “codes” to type in on the www.altarsofscience.com page.
Take the phrase “Path of Illumination”, and go create an ambigram from it (there are actually a few different places on the Internet you can do that).
The ambigram will NOT come out as expected. In fact, in it (and in its upside down version), you will see all four of the “codes” to type in. Except… they will also be encoded?
How? Well, that’s for you guys to figure out.
We can’t give you ALL the spoilers!


Oohhhh… you’ve got my curiosity going. I can’t wait to check into this further.
ok, what is the next clue?
Googling SEO results in a first link to the same website (different page) as googling the phrase in question, but I still do not know what the next clue is.
after investiating i concluded that once turned “upside down” the ambigram clearly shows : “anitmatter and four pillars.” In Angels and Demons antimatter is a device used to blow up the Vatican… i think
hmm. Good Marketing, but the book is just a simple conspiracy theory for beginners guide, but i like the way you market the movie.
yeahh..finally i find a website to talk about this stuff..
i’ve try do all the things and lastly found the exactly you did..
do get the next step that you thing we should take??
i’m becoming more curious now..
i love these thing..
i’d did these before from the davinci code website and game..
dan brown was really awesome in his work..
i love it so much…
thanks for talking about the illuminati things..
hey you know what, antimatter was spoken by one of the character(ayelet zurer)
in Angels and demons…
it is the physic concept used by the illuminati to make a bomb that will explode in the vatican city…(it was the plot of the story)….
wow…
all the misery is connected beautifully..
i love it so much…!!!
I just found something…. when you go to load the page “www.altarsofscience.com” a flash message appears once loading has begun, and with the help of the print screen button I have found that it reads,
“We will destroy your four pillars, brand your Preferiti and sacrifice them on the altars of science… and then bring your church down upon you. Vatican City will be consumed by light”
There have been no holy wars in the name of science, but science has led to the death of those whos technology was less supreme at the time.
We will destroy your four pillars, brand your preferiti and sacrifice them on the altars of science…and then bring your church down upon you. Vatican City will be consumed by light
…..how come when I go to right click and view source their is no option to do so??? All I see is settings and flash player
Is anyone knows where find the “code” we need enter in the box called “enter codes”, i search everywhere on the website…and i found nothing…any ideas?
WOW!!! I FOUND the codes!!!!!!!!!
after almost going crazy trying to figure it out (took me 2 days) and dozens of possible numbers and combinations I finally found them.
It wouldn’t be fair to just give them out but I’ll give you a few clues & what not to look for.
- there are 4 codes, each will give you access to see a really short video clip about something related to the movie. I’m guessing they are real scenes, they look really raw, so they might even be deleted scenes or extra scenes. What are they?, let’s just say, you’ll see through the eyes of the Hassasin. You’ll be in the Illuminati lair.
- Once you have all codes, nothing really happens. I was expecting something like “Congrats, you have earned _____ extra points on your Path to Illumination…” but no. Still really cool, I felt like Robert for a second, breaking codes, LOL.
- if you count the digits spaces on the code field it has a total of 8. This however doesn’t mean all the codes are 8 digits in length. This is important to know, I spent a looong while trying to come up with numbers that were 8 digits in length. The shortest code is 4 digits and the longest one is 8 digits.
ie. (THESE ARE NOT THE CODES):
- 6784
- 67895432
- 67836
- 678930
- If you’re thinking about numbers mentioned on the book, like “666″, or “503″, or “5″ & “2″ (the Illuminati number?) or any other number, don’t waste your time, none of the numbers have anything to do with these. In fact I’m still trying to figure out what these numbers have to do with the book.
- The codes are not in the Source code either.
- Last night I almost couldn’t go to sleep thinking that the code had something to do with the clue mentioned “antimatter” but it doesn’t, or at least I can’t make the connection.
(continuation from my previous message).
ok, I finally figured out what the numbers I found have to do with the subject. and…… what the hell, I’ll give you THE clue… but I’ll have some fun with it.
If there are 4 codes, and 4 things are constantly mentioned in the story (4 elements, 4 cardinals, 4 altars, etc.) Choose your group of 4 words and give them a number based on the alphabet.
That should be pretty easy.
—by the way, I first decoded it by cracking the FLASH file of the page. Not the easiest thing to do.
haha its so obvious when you think of it….i got it within 5 seconds of reading your submission….it does stink how it’s just the videos and nothing else. i wish it was like a hunt or something like davinci code online game was….but hey there’s like 2 1/2 months left till the movie…there might be more
Didn’t take me long either! Now what?
i got them all, cant belive theres more, it cant finish with 4 codes…..try the elements
Reniet Says: I’m guessing they are real scenes, they look really raw, so they might even be deleted scenes or extra scenes. What are they?, let’s just say, you’ll see through the eyes of the Hassasin. You’ll be in the Illuminati lair.
—————————————————————————————-
Reniet, thank you very much for giving the hints, but i disagree that those scenes are from eye of the Hassasin, because check again, there are camera numbers displaying on each of the scene top left corner, like camera number is displayed on antimatter canister scene,
so like antimatter canister live video stream, these four scenes are also live video streams of 4 other stolen cameras.
there is now a contest on msn for Angels & Demons
you can check that this is authentic contest from: http://www.angelsanddemons.com/
Path of Illumination contest on msn: http://angelsanddemons.msn.com/
Enter the contest and you could win the ultimate prize
- A trip to Rome
- Tickets to the Angels & Demons Worldwide Premier
- A tour of the path of illumination
- An amazing Sony Electronics package including Sony Alpha DSLR A350 Camera
you can get all rules and regulations from that site, and the contest is already begun
Maybe the camera Numbers end up being letter values like the way we got the clues?
ccbgbie is all 4 in order as 1 letter per number…
Maybe this means something.
Im new at this whole viral marketing decoding…
But I thought you guys could maybe make something of it.
Just an idea.
Wow that was really easy!!!
Hint:
ABCDEFGH…
123456789…
Earth Air Fire Water
Hey!
The guys showed in the cams after you get the codes are the ones that are going to be killed/tortured during the movie….
i need help!!! i dont understand it! i’ve been looking at it for days now! can somebody help me please?!?!? more clues would really be appreaciated
Woaaaaaah!
So easy!
I solved in less than 10 minutes!
wooohh!!
it’s really easy and fun to do!! ^^
e facil apenas traduza os 4 elementos das letras para numeros como robert langdon faz em todos os livros
fogo:seisnoveumoitocinco
agua:doistresumdoiszerocincoumoito
terra:cincoumumoitodoiszerooito
ar:milnovecentosedezoito
if you want know the codes translate the text for english
Maybe you can go on with some other codes…
I dunno but I think this four cameras aren’t the end.
But I don’t know what the codes (or even the symbols like cardinales, elements…)
wow.. i found the codes a while ago while i was searching for something interesting.. then i found the altarsofscience… haha..
it was an advantage for me not reading the book.. my mind was clear to obtain the codes.. LOL
for others,, goodluck!
oi, pessoal! aprimeira etapa, todos ja tem conhecimento, dos quatro codigo (water, fire,earth,air ) peço para quem solber deixar dicas da proxima etapa. estou pesquisando assim que descobrir deixarei aqui pra quem tem curiosidade.obrigado.
Well said, Lordi Marcos!
What is the 5th sign?
what should i do after getting these four videos, are there any further codes to this puzzle or is this over?? sum1 reply please

I’m disappointed in myself for not figuring it out right away…
Like, I tried letters then I realized…”oh numbers only, like in Digital Fortress”
never tried translating those to numbers…hehehe thanks for the tip, Reniet
LOL. so easy if you follow RENIET’s tips.
I found the codes pretty easy to crack.
you dont need fancy equipment or anything, just a strong mind, and it does actually help if you’ve read the books or at least have a vague idea of what they’re about
you doN’t need to DEcode it honestly . . .
just go to angelsanddemons.com
then go to every parts, eg. I.Robert Langdon, II. The Vatican, and so on . . .
Each part contains one Element Ambigram to find within the page . . . if you had already found it just mouse over and it will illuminate then click it . . . it will then show the respective code for altarsofscience.com
[XD]
Well when I first discovered this I was fumbled as to what the codes where, then it came to me, I will tell you all looking for them right now that the ambigram of Path of Illumination solves nothing all those here in this discussion that claim to have decoded the codes are lying out of their teeth, there are also misleading guides here also. To obtain the codes, you should visit the official site for the movie, thats all i’ll tell you, from there all it takes is a good eye and common sense.
Sangreal
P.S. If anyone can identify both of the meanings for my name, yes there are 2. I first one is very easy the second one is more challenging. I will tell you all the codes and share something with you that no one in this discussion knows, I garrantee it.
I know I own the site, but can I answer?
I’ve read all the Dan Brown books.
Sangreal is both:
1. Holy Grail
2. Royal Blood
Do share something cool (but don’t post the codes…I’ve already gotten that far).
Mark
can someone post the codes.
Fire :seisnoveumoitocinco
Water :doistresumdoiszerocincoumoito
Earth :cincoumumoitodoiszerooito
Air :milnovecentosedezoito

What Next guys I solve the 4 codes what next ?? More codes ??
Dear anDReiTenoR
There is more Codes Any advice or hints ??
Earth air water fire abc 123 air 1918 thats the best you get by the way there are 6 codes not 4
What are they ?!
I mean, after EARTH AIR FIRE WATER what are the other ?
I’m now quite curious…. Up to this point, it has all been fairly easy. I read the book several years ago, but do not recall anything other then the “4 elements”, not six, that “33rd Degree” has suggesed. Yet I wonder why you would create a “web-challange” such as this is, yet end it with four, non-discript video clips. I have tried many other “number threads”, but have not found anything else. Has any one worked on the camera numbers ? Are we missing a hidden message ? Any other thoughts ?
Ya I cracked the codes in about 1-2 minutes without reading the hints or clues…. but if there are more to it than these 4 it is definitely harder to figure out. I was thinking about the illuminati diamond. since it was the 5th brand. but that wont fit if you use the same alphabet/number sequence…
Ok. I’ve tried a few different things, including the substitution of “The Fibonacci Sequence”, but that ends up giving me to many digits. I’ve also tried a few “variations” of the “four elements” from a variety of different disciplines (religions) and none of them seem to work. I really have no idea which direction to head to locate two more codes – if, indeed, two more codes do, actually do exist.
Just read and follow the post of 41
Actually, I was referring to “post 45″, where it is suggested that ther are “…6 codes not 4…”. It strikes me as odd that there wouldn’t be more then the four “imprisioned Bishops”….
ok so i found the clue’s from the site…an put in the codes….but it seems like there should be more….,i thought someone more would happen…..like the countdown would stop are the device would fall or break..something….are there clues?
^^ i meant to put are there more clues
The fift one is maybe the diamond ambigram.
WhaT aRe You talking about?
I’ve seen the movie yesterday (13th of May) and WOW what a movie!
Didn’t dissapoint me at all, there’s more “horror” and more action in it than The Da Vinci Code. The story makes you suspect many characters and then trows you of your feet at the end. Of course the music of Hans Zimmer makes it even better! I’m curious why the antimatter bomb hasn’t yet exploded on the altarsofscience site but is still ticking for about 10 hours?! WHAT’S GONNA HAPPEN??? There were 4 elements in the movie including a fifth brand… Is that the fifth code? But what’s the word for it then… I’ll be watching when the magnets of the antimatter explosive will run out of batteries…
I’ve been going nuts trying to figure out the other two codes…the ones beyond earth air water and fire. hints???
GREAT! The timer that was running on the altars of science site was getting at his end, I watched the last 5 minutes before it was on zero.. The timer dissapeared and NOTHING HAPPENEND! What the hell X D
THE CODES ARE HERE!
Earth-5118208
Air-1918
Fire-69185
Water-23120518
I Don’t Know If There Are Other Codes,Those Are All I Found.
Earth-5118208
Air-1918
Fire-69185
Water-23120518
it was aid on both the book nad the movie
there is the 5th sign
the marker of Vatican City
its another clue
the 5th sign we are all looking for is the crossed key , the symbol of the Vatican church
haha! i found one of the codes, earth, from the official website!
What is the Fifth Sign or code ?? any help or advice ??
wat is the other two code!!!???
anyone have an idea of what could be the other 2 codes?? because I can’t open the page of angelsanddemons.com
I’ve tried lot of word but I didn’t found de codes… I’ve already tried FOUR, ALTARS, SCIENCE, VATICAN, PREFERETTI, LIGHT, ANGEL, DEMON, ILLUMINATI, DIAMOND… but nothing works…
Maybe its Petrus?
I got the all four by those earth, fire, air, water but wat are the othe two pls hepl..
and i cnt see ne timer .
i cn see only three videos(one in background and three above).. bt someone above posted that there r four videos.. pls help
The most frequently occouring theory of classical elements, held by the Hindu, Japanese, and Greek systems of thought, is that there are five elements, namely Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and a fifth element known variously as Idea, Void “quintessence” or Aether (the term “quintessence” derives from “quint” meaning “fifth”).
i loved it all istill cantget on the site
I am happy I found your site on yahoo. Thanks for the sensible critique. Me and my sister were just preparing to do some research about this. I am very glad to see such reliable info being shared for free out there.
Best Regards,
Alwyn from Mesa city
I thought it was SIX pillars!
this is a website… but, i can’t acess.
