The email of March 2 from the Curator suggested "Learn More - or watch that C&C video more closely -". So I did. I wonder if they are suggesting that there has been a hidden message in the video which we have overlooked all this time. The easiest way to watch the video is on Vimeo; it is located here: . The page shows that the video was uploaded 11 months ago. Vimeo supports keyboard controls to go forward and backward. Left and right arrow jump forward and backward by 1 second, but if you hold shift and press the arrow keys while paused, you can skip by single frames. Here's what I've observed in the video: 0:00 Several letters on film flash by “ect” “ry” “n l” “D.” “ntra”
0:03 Stack of Cumhuriyet, a Turkish newspaper
0:16 Back of newspaper held by hawker reads “THEY HAVE YOU NOW”
0:21 First staff member silhouetted against wall. Three clocks read 6:10. Third clock reads 7:15
0:47 Miniature maypole (was this ever a curio?)
0:59 Curios & Conundrums appears with text “SECRETS ARE REVEALED! THE TREASURE IS HIDDEN IN - .... . .--. .. -.-. - ..- .-. . --- ..-. -.. --- .-. .. .- -. --. .-. .- -.-- (Morse code translates to THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY)
1:01 Scrap of paper falls with “WNAR RLER” (Caesar shifted +13 “JANE EYRE”)
1:04 Video noise. Several suspicious looking blocky frames
1:06 Voice-over is garbled interspersed with figure at window. Audio unintelligible.
1:15 Dominos on table form sequence: 4 5 5 9 0 6 3 2 9 9 6 8 7 8. Summing the pips on each domino gives: 9 14 6 5 18 14 15, which translates to INFERNO.
1:24 Repeat of images from 0:00, interspersed with grinning Timothy Sullivan

Good stuff. See the other threads for more details, but: The letters spell "Dracula" (per someone else in the thread, haven't conformed) Domino's spell "Inferno"
I wonder if there's something to the clocks...

The miniature maypole was a curio from an earlier issue.

In the other thread, someone suggested that the dominoes form a message, but I'm not seeing it.
