New Image Found on Project Prometheus Website (Update: Second Image Found!) Dan Koelsch, March 21, 2012March 21, 2012 A new subpage to the Project Prometheus website was recently found, titled Eridu.

Check out our friend Anton Volkov’s Prometheus tumblr to see how it was figured out through Twitter. ARGs & Campaigns Social Networks Viral Marketing Project PrometheusPrometheusTwitter
