Janus God of Doors

Having looked further in the Janus Archive I have some observations to make.

The data contained within the past zone does appear to have less information than found in the present and future zones.  This makes sense since mankind's ability to record events has greatly improved as you get closer to the present.  We are so more connected now than we were back in 3500 B.C. where the only form of recording events was making a carving on a stone and nobody seemed to care about punctuation back then either.  The first password protected zip file makes this point clearly containing only a couple of lines of text.  I think it is more of a hint of what is to come.  I can see where someone would feel cheated by all the hard work to get the zip open but as it says on the entry page its all about the journey.  I believe that it is just a small aspect of the larger design.

Overall the zones themselves do not appear to have been created in a vacuum, for instance the past and present zones are connected via their gateways.  The 'Entry' page makes this clear with the following text:

• The future was once the past.
• The past is a gateway into the present and present is gateway into the past

There is also what appears to be a simple picture puzzle.  The page names show an encoded ROT, names of planets in the solar system, which suggests that there are nine zones in total (Pluto is a planet and I don't care what anybody says).  That makes 729 pages total,  the placement of the data within each zone seems oddly random.  What would be the best method of randomly placed items other than an random number generator?!?

The keys for each zone, why have a key checker?  Are these keys used something other than restoring backups?  Is what is contained within the zips really important or are they an easy method for checking that you've got the correct keys or both?

The present zone keys what an interesting method of saving your keys, put them inside a MUD.  Not a very social character that Baron Kalan.  The ROT'd extra text stored on the images appears to be ROT-18 which comes out as:

1, Long: bullet? That dog don't hunt
2, One car 4 in 1 out
3, Sneezing is bad for your health

I use the following site for all ROT codes: http://www.mobilefish.com/services/rot13/rot13.php

I believe I mentioned a certain film remake in a previous post which shows there is some synchronicity in play here, that's the universe for you.  I will not bother giving you the obvious answer, the contents of the zip are quite interesting indeed and proves there is more information in the present than the past.

Looking at the future zone again, I suspect the codes on the ID3 tags are some form of book code since there are nine books in the zone.  Does 'Begin' mean beginning? I suspect only three of the books are used the rest are red herrings.

Lastly the the following page ja63q0gw is the zone exit in the past zone, there is a hidden link on  the images at the bottom.

For anyone who loves puzzles I would say that this is a goldmine and the content tantalizes at the possibility of huge conspiracy going back to earliest times.
