SOMERTON MAN: INK H, SOE code. THE TIPPING POINT..

INK H
VERSE 70 EXAMPLE

1. This is a grab of the central part of the Verse 70 image. Followers will recall that this inscription of verse 70 from The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayam, was found in the book supposedly given by Jess to Alf Boxall in 1946. Faithful to the verse, the dash in the second line of the Quatrain was included. On examination, I decided to take an even closer look at the verse and in particular the dash:

2. This next image is a closer view of the dash and you should be able to see the lighter and darker ends and what looks like letters and numbers particularly at the darker end:

3. In the third image, using a magnifier on the image you can now clearly see that there are indeed letters and numbers at the darker end:

Magnified code reads: 62 X M 64520

Of interest is, of course, the fact that the letter M appears following an X. The X was used in a string of code to indicate the end of one group and the beginning of another. The M appears at the beginning of every group on the Somerton Man code page. The X appears within the various strings of code on the same page as in the letter Q.

Micro written code is found in every letter and marking in Verse 70.

ABOUT THE TIPPING POINT

The tipping point is reached when the combined effect of numerous small actions that have taken place, perhaps over a period of years, create a totally new state of being. The point at which all those little things can make a big difference.

And so it is with the years of effort that has been put into revealing the micro written code within the letters on the code page.

The technological tipping point has been reached, the barriers we faced in terms of types of camera and various lighting issues, have now been overcome. All thanks to a fairly ordinary Galaxy S9 smartphone and a special App, a magnifier. This magnifier has an integrated high-quality light and the ability to take amazing macro close-ups of very small items such as the micro writing that we have found on the code page and elsewhere.

And now after perhaps 7 years, we are at a point where anyone with a smartphone and the downloaded app can take good quality macro photographs of the micro writing. Maybe even you will give it a shot BT :)

I will be adding more images of the code page, Verse 70, the torn piece and other documents over the course of the next few weeks.
