Hebrew Writing On The Obeservation Deck..?!

[PoemOfTheLastMoment]

I Found This Video On Youtube during one of my visits there a few months ago..

the title says silent hill 2 yakaronki hebrew easter egg...it's near and on top of the weird drawing....i think it's a verse from the Torah much in the same way there were 2 verses from the bible....what do you guys think?

[Typographenia]

I'd be interested to see what it translates out to. I never payed that much attention to it and assumed it was just scribbles.

[SHF]

there is a camhack thread around here, there maybe an answer to that there.

[The Adversary]

No one has ever translated it, as far as I know.

[SilentWren]

I think I noticed gimmel in there.
Don't know what the word it was in meant, but it means "camel" and sort of like a long journey and fortitude.

That alien looking thing looked Babylonian or something, too.

[The Adversary]

If anyone can send me a screenshot of the writing and drawing, I can ask one of my professors. I've always been curious to know what the graffiti says.

There are screenshots and textures in the camhacks thread here, same size as they are on the disc:

I really hope there's some hidden message to it like those 2 verses from the bible. That would just be awesome!

[Typographenia]

It would crack me up if it were just something simple like "Hey, look at my drawing. Do you like it?"

In fact, I've often wondered if that drawing is related to the ufo endings, since that is such an unusual representation of a "human."

I've often thought it had something to do with Eddie, I mean it just reminds me of him.

[The Adversary]

Well, the Channeling Stone is right there. . . .

[Typographenia]

Exactly!

I doubt it will end up being anything truly great, but it would make my day if it was something really cool.

[PoemOfTheLastMoment]

SilentWren wrot something about 'a long journey' and 'fortitude'. were you kidding or was that a rough description of what was written?

Anyway, that particlar post got me all excited until all that talk about UFO's made my excitement simmer down. Hey Adversary, maybe you SHOULD ask your professor about the writings on a piece of paper like you said you would.

[SilentWren]

^That was what one of the characters meant, yeah.
I don't know what that whole word means, but chances are it's nonsense because they're all three letters long. I guess we now wait on Tom.

[Loonwolf]

Some of the letters are a bit unclear, at least in a picture I saw. Maybe it might be better going back to the game itself and having a good look from different angles - and I have only a very basic understanding of Hebrew. But it MIGHT say something vaguely like this...

On the left...
(He/it) trickled
Yahdonhi (possibly God my Lord)
Tortico (this word is difficult to read clearly and really needs looking at better)
(If this is the right word, apparently Tortico is an extremely rare colour of cat.)

On the right...
Yahoo (a cheer, or an internet name similar to the name of God, YHWH, Yahweh/Yehowah/Jehovah)
(To) God
My gift/present (or possiby "that I was")
A louse (infestation) or (travelling) companion

If these words make sentences you need to rearrange the word order in English, and the verb "is" could be inserted before one of the words on the right. Someone more experienced in reading and translating Hebrew needs to make more sense of the writing. My brief attempt at figuring it out might be quite wrong.

[PIE!!!]

I wished some would translate it. I'm so curious right now.

[shfan201]

Yeah, this is really interesting.

A few comments from the Youtube video:

diamondbanger87 1 month ago : It's not that clear, but this is what it looks like to me.

To the right, it looks like Yohav, which I guess would be like God The Father

I see Ba'al, either meaning master, or the name of a pagan deity in the bible.

I think it says Shadai right under it, one of God's names.

To the left, there's Vlah, something like that, never saw that word before

Then Ya'akronki, which doesn't sound like Hebrew. Might be Talmudic Aramaic



moddie84 2 weeks ago : i actually found this today playing silent hill 2 over again, and from my limited

knowledge of hebrew it looks like it says something like " the father, master of strength, the son of

yakdoniki rules/is here"

moddie84 2 weeks ago : @moddie84 :or the last word can mean "will be received" so my guess on the 'meaning' has to do with silent hill 3 where you find out that the child will give birth to the 'god' of their religion.

[Evil Rage42]

It says this
"Left exits you, like a camel far from Earth, never before seen by man"

[PoemOfTheLastMoment]

Wow...that's cool...a reference to the beginning of James' descent into madness...
