(1) Book clearly a book cypher, a method used by Soviets spies during that period- multiple individuals with same edition of this book that end up connected to this case. (2) During the same year Soviet spy communications were discovered by AU Govt and some of those were decrypted (AU Govt should be able to explain whatever happened); (3) The unused train ticket is evidence of operational security, with rapid change in mode of transport intended to throw off any surveillance; (4) No identification, including tags being removed. I would imagine that the man was an agent, or double-agent and was burned or double crossed. The AU Govt had learned of Soviet spy rings operating within the country, through its British and American counterparts (and quite some delay, due to fears of AU being vulnerable). A lot of people seem to have lost some perspective on this case and how bizarre the evidence was. The case needs experts in the field of Cold War era intelligence history, operations and tradecraft. It’s possible the message was inscribed to commit it to memory, and that the part ripped out was the key text.

Great video for kids

terahertz metamaterials!

Seems fairly clear that Jestyn knew the deceased man and was probably having a relationship/romantic encounter with him. Her son has a striking resemblance of the Somerton man. And although not impossible, it would seem unusual to react to a bust of someone you DIDNT know by nearly fainting (unless you really knew them or unless it had a particularly macabre appearance, but it didn't). A dead body, yes it could make people faint, but just a bust of a random person you don't know seems unlikely to generate that reaction. I dont personally think Boxall looks close enough to her son Robin to be his father, I think far more likely the dead man on the beach was his biological dad. And I also think spies is probably the most likely. Thanks for the overview lecture. Who killed him and why he was killed though is unknown... was he taken out by the other the country/organisation he was actually spying for due to fear of double/triple crossing...

A very profound project. Thank you for uploading it!

Watching in 2021,,, Thanks 🙏🙏🙏

Did you know that J and her husband Prosper lived in Henley Beach? I have further info if you would like supporting doc.

Hilarious that your title for the photo of Tom Cruise was "Not Normal".

This was outstanding. I'd hate to be a bother but would it be possible to access the entire lecture series?

Good overview but I solved this case years ago, it was murder by a medical professional known to Jestyn, the medico knew what to use and would not show up in an autopsy.

Mmmm 🍀🍃

KZbin...The Tamam Shud Mystery Solved video...the one with trees reflecting on water...solves the code...book by J.N. amour titled Tamam Shud Cipher Principles and Method...decodes the somerton man's message in the video

You get the feeling that the government are deliberately obstructing the investigation. I can't think of one good reason why the body can not be exhumed. I reckon that after the police questioned "Jestyn"...higher authorities got involved. They know exactly who Somerton man was...and ever since have suppressed the information. There can be no other explanation as to why Jestyn got such an easy ride... There must be some 'national embarrassment" involved that makes the government keep the cover up going.

He was a spy. You don't remove all traces of your identity if you are going on vacation. Tourists don't use code/cypher, they usually carry a camera and they always carry a passport. Another thing noticeably missing is a notepad and pen/pencil. Those things were ubiquitous before iPads and iPhones.

12:55 He said September! :P

There is something about the Somerton Man that the Government doesn't want us to know, hence the reluctance/obstruction to allowing the exhumation.

I was just there last week at the very beach where the Somerton Man was found, but I only found out about it because a film crew is shooting a documentary of the story, and I got talking to them about it. Being from Townsville, I'd never even heard of the case! i hope it all comes to the surface so everyone knows what really happened and who he is. Great, yet sad story! can't wait for the documentary to come out.

Who was the guy who found the book in the back of his Hillman Minx? That book was "meant to be found" otherwise the person who put it there could have thrown it in a bin! Saying that, if the person who left it there wanted it to be found, he was taking a gamble that the person who owned the car wouldn't throw the book away himself (I mean, who would be interested in a book of Persian poems?) We need to know who this car owner was who popped up with the book.

+UniAdel @UniAdel Although this video was uploaded almost 5 years ago, there were meant to be further uploads in order to follow up. It seems that now the Attorney general of Sth Australia has granted permission for exhumation of the deceased, and DNA examinations will be carried out. Specifically YDNA needs to be extracted in order to trace the fatherline and corresponding Haplogroup refined to exact clade which will help with ethnic background. Also STR markers will determine if relatives descended from the same ancestral fatherline , exist in the database. Family Tree DNA is best for this. Although one has to know exactly how to submit YDNA samples of deceased individuals rather than providing the Kit through police enforcement as many members have turned off police matching. No European samples can be searched either by Police enforcement due to GDPR requirements. Autosomal DNA samples need to be present as well in ALL databases. That includes Family Tree DNA (affiliated to University of Arizona- leaders in this field) who provide the Family Finder autosomal test, as well as Ancestry dot com, My Heritage; 23&Me and of course at Gedmatch. Also Promethius needs to be consulted regarding health issues which could be genetically very telling. The family of Robin Thomson need to also follow this route. By the way: The autopsy report noted no vaccination scarring. I can see a distinct smallpox injection scar on the upper arm of the deceased as well as upper scarring on the other arm which is clearly visible on the cast, which was not reported during the much earlier autopsy report.

Are the subsequent lectures available online?

This guy's presentation could be a game changer.

Hiz sHoez were reportedly PolisHed And clean .. Inconsistent w/ A long stroll to Somerton beacH from bus stop Also it was Noted He Had No Hat proclaimed to be odd in tHat time period w/ outfit He waz wearing .. Hmm / A Man in A Hat waz spotted just above tHe location He waz Found PerHaps [ "Hat/Man" ] waz sporting Deceased Manz Hat !? !? !?

like other languages the word has meaning in the context , as a Persian world( tamam shud ) in this context means :the mission has completed i think in this case , the nurse has done the job on behalf of the man in Sydney , as they did not want to leave any trace by phone or letter so the best way was to know from media that job has done successfully ....

Just pissed off that you said that there would be future lectures - where are they?

The face photo of Kennedy is misleading for one reason only: the photog lit him with the camera flash, which is from Kennedy's lower left. Anyone in theatre will tell you that that angle of lighting will instantly make a face unrecognizable. Expectations of what Kennedy looked like were all destroyed from that lighting angle, one that is used in theatre mainly to make faces distorted and hideous, such as witches or extreme villains. Marilyn died of a drug overdose. Her last three years were continuous bouts of depression, sickness and a surgery. She had recently been fired by Fox studios because her indisposition proved very costly and the production she was in, "What a way to go", was shutdown. WIth no make-up or hair styling, yes, she looks very much different from her publicity photos. Note the photo of the Somerton man - he is lit from the top left - his features look normal.

Maybe he was just a weird guy?

First thought: book code. Poetry is preferable to prose as individual stanzas stand alone. Using a novel, two indentical editions would be required, page numbers differing from one edition to the next. But by 1945 book code had been long discredited. See Leo Marks "Between Silk and Cyanide".

audio is really bad 👎

The deaths of Joseph Haim Saul Marshall and Gweneth Graham in Sydney in 1945 are linked to this case by the Rubiyat. Cold war spies?

No lecture 3?

hello from egypt

I have some questions, e.g., was there alcohol in SM's blood? and could he be bitten by something venomous (bee/spider/snake)? That might explain the abrasion on SM's hand - he scratched the bitten place there.

Why didn't the cops look for fingerprints on the suitcase or any of its contents? Or for that matter the Rubaiyat the doctor turned in?

How do you know that Glenn Miller didn't decide to leave his life behind & become an American spy during & after the war? Stranger things have happened. Look into Amelia Earhart's disappearance. There's more to the Official Story about her than we're being told.

Does anyone know why he didn't have a claim ticket for his suitcase in his pocket? Was there such a system to hand out claim stubs to be handed back, or would a person just give their name?

Is it a coincidence that Somerton Man has several anatomical anomalies??? 1) Same "missing" tooth on both sides of mouth, 2) Very unusual shape of ears, 3) Unusual calf muscles, 4) etc? Could these physical anomalies combined be the sign of some type of known genetic disorder? Just aa thought. [email protected]

A strong justification for exhumation is that this was possibly a crime, and even though it happened nearly 70 yrs ago, it's possible that the perpetrator is still alive. I think the Professor should be pushing this aspect to the authorities. But....since the authorities have rejected requests so far, the implication is that they know that a crime was not committed. And I don't mean suicide.

Size 7 slippers are waaaaay too small for a 5' 11" man. Size 11 upwards would be more likely.

I am a Portuguese citizen and only today I saw this case for the first time, about 2-3 hours ago and I am "hooked" looking for videos and clues!!! My ideas: 1-at 7:15 p.m he was still alive because witnesses saw him move, probably already dying. If the poison was strong it was administrated 10 to 30 minutes before he died (maximum). So it makes the killer present or near at the time 6:45 to 7 pm. At what time did the nurse left her work? 2-Did anyone tested the cigarettes? The half-burned cigarette could have been the way how the poison was delivered, or... Did anyone saw needle marks? For who is dying with poison...he was too much relaxed, I believe the body was manipulated somehow. No money?!! Did someone searched his pockets while he was dead or dying? 3-The nurse knows the man or the resemblance with Mr. Boxall made her remind the same person...anyway Mr.Boxall did admited to have been involved with Intelligence Services and to have met her and the book is a amazing and strange coincidence! 4-The book could have been set on that car by the killer or by someone that found it on the street and just putted it inside the car. Its a fact that the "Tamam Shut paper" is part of that book. Could have been that the victim ripped off that paper to give it to the killer...or it was the killer the gave him before his death? 5-The resemblance between the dead man and Mr.Boxall is just too suspicious, that is the "smoking gun", just like the nurse. Smells "fishy"!! 6-The book is another big clue. The Turkish were really involved in Intelligence and at the cold war Turkey was a hot-spot for spying activity. With that code, those letters found in the book be matched with the text or any part of that book? Can those letters and code be a help or key to find a message in the text and poems? 7-Be careful because if someone set the paper on his pocked, they may have set the ticket or other things. 8-A intelligent man buying a ticket and does not uses it can be another clue. He could have bought it and after contacting the killer or other person he could have been sent to that place where he wasn't expecting to be so he bought another ticket. He had to take lunch, where did he take his last meal? What kind of food he had inside his stomach may help finding where he was eating. Then can help finding with who (probably now its too late) Probably he was arranging a meeting for lunch at the first spot but then the plans changed I think that the relation between this 3 individuals must be checked, at least one of them is involved...just too many coincidences. Where are the evidences? Why did them disapear? So many clues but so few answers...peace to his soul

Pretty far fetched but still. Has anyone checked out Eduard Deisenhofer. German officer, missing in action 1945. Ears pretty perfect. Eyebrows very nice. One of the two photos i have seen looks very much like the bust. But no visible mark on the left side of the mouth and hairline is so so.

WHAT? No part 3?! You can't lead us on without finishing the series

part 3?

the JFK pictures actually do pretty much look like him.

I've been absolutely fascinated by this case... I've read a bit about your involvement in investigating this; thank you for sharing these lectures :) Really interesting!

I think the class distinctions of wearing a woollen vest or Cardigan under a suit cost, may not have been the same in Australia at the time, as in England, especially among European migrants. The other point is that although warm in summer, temperatures often cool down at night, unlike in tropical climates where humidity is still high.

In your video you mention the name of the first detective on the case as Det. Sgt. Lionel Leane who along with Det. Len Brown, found the suitcase at the Adelaide Railway station. At the bottom of the slide you give his full name as Raymond Lionel Laybourne Leane ( B. 1903 - d. 1979). In fact, Sir Raymond Lionel Leane was appointed Chief Commissioner of Police in S.A. in 1920 after a distinguished military career in the A.I.F. who retired in 1944. It was his son Geoffrey Lionel Leane who was the Det. Sgt. in the Somerton Case. He later rose to the position of Assistant Commissioner of Police in S.A. (1959 - 1972). Super sleuth.

I'm very interested in this! Thanks for sharing!
