Pillar 5 during the daytime

Pillar 5 contains a non-alphanumeric cipher using 'squircle' shapes (Unsolved), an alphabetic cipher (Not transcribed and Unsolved), and a series of numbers around the bottom which probably form part of a cipher (Unsolved)..

Squircle cipher

The grid of squircles
Numbering scheme based on Cartesian quadrant numbering

The squircle grid is 10 rows by 26 columns. I have transcribed each depending on the direction the corner points in line with Cartesian quadrant naming (see graphic to the right).

The transcription of the squircle grid is:

14441144144414134324224143

13121142233212222111311123

34334422412123231413111423

32432113434332114214424432

41412411141414314314334412

11111414133114312324241124

21441222313431443213443432

Alphabetic Cipher

To be transcribed and photos compiled. See the image gallery in the interim.

Base

A series of numbers run around the base of Pillar 5:

11 12 9 12 11 13 15 17 28 30 17 18 11 11 10 12 13 14 19 24 12 13 11 12 7 93 8 11 14 17
