In the rig the sack thread, Deej posted this juicy bit of info

How about you give us the date in some crazy geomancy puzzle this week? Those symbols still haunt my dreams. I promise we won't call a random phone number this time - right guys. come on deej.[/quote]
You never really cracked that case, Bungie Community. I am disappoint.[/quote]
To which Hylebos replied
[quote]You told us that there wasn't anything else to crack and that the goal for Bungie Day was to figure out that they were Geomantic Symbols >_>
Posted by: DeeJ
Please stop inventing random telephone numbers to call. You are harassing total strangers. You are also barking up the wrong tree. The fact that you tracked these symbols to their origin is all you are meant to know about them.
For now...[/quote]
Either Deej is getting his pay back on us, or there is work to be done.
Possible starting places
I am noticing in this [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomancy] wiki article[/url] there is a Chinese version of geomancy, perhaps there is a connection to the Puerto Princesca map.
[quote]In Korea, geomancy takes the form of interpreting the topography of the land to determine future events and or the strength of a dynasty or particular family. Therefore, not only were location and land forms important, but the topography could shift causing disfavor and the need to relocate. The idea is still accepted in many South East Asian societies today, although with reduced force[/quote]
The symbols represent planets, and elements. Additionally they can be converted into binary.
I also remember the one of 7 winners avatars where changed to one of the symbols.
I'm hoping we get another hint in the mail sack this week, but lets see how much headway we can make before Friday.

Mods bear with me here I added the numbers together and got this 10-12-20 and I got [url=http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+10-12%3A20&version=NIV] This. [/url] Mods this is not about religion at all. Listen to this phrase though [quote] The Tower of Babel Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth." But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. The Lord said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other." So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth. [/quote] We all know bungie likes to use somewhat religious things in their games (obviously halo) So maybe it's related? Maybe it's not. What really got me was this [quote]Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens[/quote] From what we've heard of Destiny so far is that it's our story begins on the last [b]city[/b] on Earth.
