Ahh thanks. Any idea on the next one? :P EDIT: Nevermind 3 should be easy for most HNers. Wrote that before I even saw it.

Here's 4: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B2BGioksxQiRc2hpTDJ1... Looks like caves.jpg has something wrong with it, but I'm not sure what to do with it.

Interesting: the author of the image is "Pei Xiu"

Pei Xiu (224–271)... was a minister, geographer, and cartographer of the state of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history

Okay, for four open caves.jpg in Notepad. Inside is some hex:

Convert it to a string and you get:

The "Transmission" video is using TunesToTube.com.

It is a bunch of numbers being recited (though I don't know the significance of the static image):

"053 050 046 049 056 050 049 044 032 050 048 046 057 057 054 053" It then pauses and repeats for exactly 5 minutes.

Translated (by others in this thread), it turns into 52.1821, 20.9965, which brings you to the number 18, in Poland. It also links to this Google Drive folder titled "Latest Discoveries":

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B2BGioksxQiRc2hpTDJ1...

This has a few photos of statues of the Buddha and a couple of temples. I find the photo that looks corrupted the most interesting, as I think there is data hidden in there (similar to 4chan.js if you've ever heard of that).

The file names of the photos are shrine.jpg, statue.jpg, spire.jpg, pillar.jpg, and cave.jpg.
