🌑 The Legend

“And the gods whispered secrets into the stones…”

Before humans wrote history, the Isu — also called the Ones Who Came Before — shaped the world, created humans, and hid powerful relics across the earth. They were remembered as gods in many cultures. When the first words were carved into stone, Pan was named as their keeper. Later, in the halls of emperors, a quiet Hathor whispered her will. In the marketplaces and temples, Ea was said to walk unseen, carrying messages only the worthy could hear. In the shadowed doorways, Isis taught initiates to read the signs.

Deep within crypts, Sekhmet oversaw the rituals of the dead. Among stars and deserts, Aphrodite was believed to forge the fate of men. In distant lands, Nephthys wept when mortals broke their covenants. Others tell of Θ — the hidden one — who passed unseen through the vaults of the world.

Stories speak of Thor raising stones into mountains, of Horus sealing away forbidden knowledge, then of Ra, quiet and watchful at thresholds. Some wrote of Zeus moving storms across oceans, Ares who harvested war, El who guarded love’s secret door, and Anubis, keeper of the final word.

These names are not simply tales — they are legends who once held these Apples.

These relics, known as the Pieces of Eden, could control minds, lead armies, and even change the future. Legends say they were used to spark the Trojan War, build the Pyramids, and guide explorers across oceans.

One of these relics, an Apple of Eden, holds the Song of Creation and Destruction. This Apple whispered secrets to prophets, helped build empires, and brought down kings. Some claim it was held by Alexander the Great, others say it fell into the hands of Caesar and Cleopatra. Its location was hidden in a puzzle — clues left in stone, in the stars, and even in human DNA. To find the Apple, you must solve these clues and follow the path walked by Those Who Came Before through centuries of conflict. Are you strong enough to claim it?

🔐 The Puzzle

We are the Isu. We are the gods you remember, and the ancestors you forget.

When the earth was young, we left many truths hidden. Sometimes capriously hidden under viels of deception and self-interest. Decipher them all, and you will maybe hear our song. 

Below are riddles — each corresponding to a digit in the final coordinates. Solving them reveals the apparent coordinates. When the riddles grow noisy, lend an eye to The Ones Who Came Before - they can still show you the way.

📖 The Cache

When you find the cache, you’ll see an Apple of Eden glowing faintly. If you bring two AA batteries and a small Phillips‑head screwdriver, you can activate it. When powered, it will pulse in a colour tied to the Isu’s story — the final part of your journey. You may snap a quick photo of the Apple while it is lit, but be sure to return it to its hiding place precisely as you found it. Uninitiated humans must not stumble upon dangerous Isu technology.
