Maybe the Katsuragi Expedition found a similar chamber at Adam's resting place? ...Alright, even I'll admit that's a bit of a stretch.

Excellent find!

Possibly Seele inspectors. Maybe that's the point of all this, that Seele had a hand in every major scientific advancement? That'd be awfully cliche though.

Watch the C. B/
Watch the gif, the second C in "CCCP" slowly disappears, and we know it's supposed to be there because we can still see the window slightly below it.

Re: Watch the C. B/
Yeah, he's right. That is kinda strange. Whoever made that image did that purposefully.
Does anyone know where I can find all the Reiquarium images cleaned like this one?
And if not, would anyone like to take on that project? I would try cleaning them myself, but it would take me a couple of months just to learn how to use Photoshop or a similar program. XP

Is it just because the picture is blurry, or did they re-draw the Soyuz's microwave antenna to look like a person sitting on the spaceship?

Now that you mention it, the additions to that image look like they could be new pieces of instrumentation, rather than people.

The actual Reiquarium image helps put things in perspective.

Someone please tell us what it is.
This probably isn't the best place to post this but I didn't think it'd be worth getting an admin to make me a scribe just so I could post this on the discussion page.
"This one is well nigh impossible to see. Someone please tell us what it is. It seems to exist only in this version. Some people see the blob in the lower right corner as a woman in an ankle length skirt, but this seems a lot less likely when you see the shot in motion. There is, however, a tile floor visible in the lower right, and there seems to be writing of some sort over the Rei in the upper right. (The one looking back over her shoulder.)" http://wiki.evageeks.org/File:Tank_image_22.jpg
I stared at it for a while thinking it was a circle of armchairs but after a while is just looks like a tokyo street? Like this http://racemaps.org.uk/tok0.jpg with a scooter and 2 men crossing a street. Heres a really bad mspaint represent of what I see http://i.imgur.com/138fD.png
Of course, this would have absolutely nothing to do with EVA. It's probably a photo of right outside gainax office at the time. I got owned?

Of all the Reiquarium pics, that is one that has most resisted analysis, just a lot of Rorschach interpretation.
There is definitely something looking like a signpost in the middle of the upper right quadrant, so a street scene is plausible. From what I recall of their various office locations, probably not a shot out GAINAX's front door, however plausible that might seem.

Re: A couple Reiquarium pictures in more detail
someguy wrote:I was looking through the Reiquarium article and noticed a few images had very sparse descriptions admitting most of the details of the photos weren't recognized. I decided to try using the difference blending mode in Photoshop to compare these images with the clean ones off of the Platinum DVDs and see if I could better tell what was going on (it turns out others have tried this but as far as I can tell I got a better read of what's going on in the picture).
The first image I checked was the "Lincoln" image (It's not Lincoln).
There are three men in this picture, in a semicircle. A bearded man's head is visible near the upper right of the image. Another man, wearing glasses, is about a third of the image to the left - his arm is extended towards a round object below the bearded man. A third man is shown in profile in the bottom left - he also has his arm (wristwatch visible) reaching under the bearded man's head.
The second image had an even more vague description of a man looking down.
There are four men in this picture, standing around a large piece of paper laid out flat. Their heads form a diagonal line starting just to the right of the upper left corner. Two of them have their hands resting on the paper. The rightmost man is most detailed, wearing a jacket, his arm extended towards the paper. There appears to be scaffolding in the background.
This image is almost certainly a photograph.

Hopefully this isn't old news that just hadn't made it to the article and I haven't wasted my time :P
I know what the second image is. It a scene from an old German expressionist horror film from the early 20th century called "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari"

Re: A couple Reiquarium pictures in more detail
Any way you could get a screenshot that matches the Reiquarium image? This would be a pretty significant find if we can confirm it!
EDIT: Found the full movie on YouTube. Might watch it later tonight to see if I can spot the aforementioned image. Who knows; Anno could've drawn more than one of the Reiquarium images from this movie.
EDIT: If anyone's still interested in looking into the really mysterious one, I made a negative of it a while back but had no means of uploading it then.
Here's the original image:
Original SPOILER: Show
and here's the negative:
Negative SPOILER: Show
I find that flipping back and forth between the two helps to bring out some more detail. By doing that, I'm able to see what looks like a road gong off into the distance through the center of the image. What else can you guys make out of this?

Basically, instead of excavating the whole thing it looks in both instances as if they simply cut her from the ground. Presumably her arm regenerated later to be as seen in the show in Terminal Dogma. I could also be wrong about the placement of the head in the image; admittedly it's the weakest part of the theory. The head could also be still buried and not in the amorphous shape I envision; another idea is that since her mask wouldn't have been applied yet, they didn't want to draw some original face and thus left the head very undefined. That's a pretty weak idea though.
Also I agree the upper right is clearly a building/cabin type structure. Wish more folks were speculating on the big red chair thing in the foreground on the lower right.
WHERE DID YOU FIND THAT FIRST IMAGE??? Also, is this image the basis for why people tend to think that Eva Unit 1's body is a clone of Lilith?? I must know more on this, because up until recently, I always thought that Unit 1 and the others were clones of Adam...

Re: A couple Reiquarium pictures in more detail
Thanks for that. We're slowly crowdsourcing our way to have the sources all these images.
This one is quite the Rorschach blot.

That first image is also from the Reiquarium sequence. The second is the one that I mentioned in my last post here. I think it was stated somewhere in the series that Unit-01 was made from Lilith. That's why it played such a pivotal role in SEELE's version of Instrumentality.
