Not an ARG but great fun anyway!

So the mystery has now been solved.

An Ebay seller from Guam who specializes in replica Indiana Jones Props mailed this journal to a buyer in Italy. But the smaller package fell out!

Not knowing this, the USPS inserted the correct zip code, for the package's apparent destination in Chicago. (Let me add here that the handwritten zip code was one of the things noticed as an oddity by the ever vigilant ARG enthusiasts at the Unfiction Forum).

The Uchicago College Admissions page posted an image of the letter from the United States Postal Service, explaining that the smaller package, that had fallen out, turned up in their lost and found in Honolulu. From here they sent it on to our dear Henry Walton Jones, Jr (better known as Indy).

This created all this marvelous international hooha, wonder and excitement, as mentioned in this article on Redeye News.

The Ebay seller from Guam has allowed the University of Chicago to keep the journal, which will be archived or put on display.

Even though it wasn't the beginning of a great new ARG I still must say; What an awesome thing to have happened! The United States Postal Service apologized for the inconvenience.
