Hi guys,
I've been working on my own uncharted diary the past month and this is really helping. I just wanted to thank everyone who's contributed, it's invaluable help. I was wondering if anyone had any hd pictures of the statue puzzle solution, the one you have to climb in game to change the arms.

I wanted to first give credit where credit is due.
First an foremost to the folks at Naughty Dog for making such and awesome series of games.
They did their homework on this game and I found it a real adventure searching out and dissecting all the information that went into creating it and learned some interesting facts about travel the the world we live in.
Next up to D_Jedi1 for starting on this project and Darth Saber for being a great asset and resource to this whole project.
I also want to give credit to all the other folks that have contributed to the artwork and research in this thread.
And to everyone that has attempted this little project.thumbsup
Let's start at the beginning shall we.
This is going to be a massive post.
Some may find the information interesting others may not.
While prepping to start on my journal I wanted to start with all the drawings and text and do the printed stuff later.
Looking at all the screen caps posted here and around the net I noticed that areas of the images where difficult to make out or covered so I went ahead and photographed the pages off my TV as I went through the game.
Putting them in photo shop I was able to flatten them out and splice in the missing parts from photos I took while Nate was flipping the pages.
The pictures are posted in my Flickr file here.
Make sure to right click over the images to see them at full size.
Well since my printer was out of ink and I didn't wish to burn $60 in ink merely to trace pictures I just opted to hand draw them while looking at the screen.
It also gives it a more personal feel to the book.
While starting at the beginning I worked on all the text on the first few pages that not only began the book but also gave me practice for the type of writing that was used and unlike the Drake Journal in the first game a font wasn't used and the style changes in different areas just like my own writing tends to do.
So now on with all the info.
I found a French site that had all (but 2) of the pages and a supposed translation of all the text.
Guess what, much of it was wrong.:facepalm
Well it was time to start some research and to my surprise almost all the places are real.
Page one
Tag at top of the page.
Some of is information was gleaned from the Drakes Fortune pre-release flash game Drakes Trail.

Page 2-3
This is the page that I immediately knew was wrong on the French site and got me started an looking up everything.
Note: some of the missing numbers are open to interpretation in some cases as they could be 2.3,5.6.8.9.
Results differ depending on which filters are applied.
In these cases I went with what showed up more than once.

I also managed to find a close picture of Elena that I was able to modify closer to the in game version.
Pages 5-6
The many faces of Sully.
I found a image that was really close and removed the background, changed the shirt color and darkened his hair.

Nevsehir Seyahat ticket.

I ended up adding the company logo to my ticket.
Notice I have 2 versions, one with the correct full number.
On page 12 the Turkish Air ticket posted in the thread is missing a few numbers. (18 010)
I added them to the previously posted image.
Page 27
Passport Pages
There are 4 passport pages.
I was able to find the pages with minimal stamps and clean them up.
I also found high res images of the Visa's and stamps.
The RoI Visa I cleaned up and modified to match the information in the game, the bottom line is actually missing information that a real Visa would have.
The bird in the upper left is a hologram on the actual visa's.
The Nepal stamps where created from scratch and I just hand wrote the information that was scribbled on it.
Rubber Stamps where also recreated from scratch using images found on the web (the top one took several days to find)

Tourist Coupons and Luggage Claim Tags.
These tourist Tax Tags are given at the airport and contain 4 coupons, 2 for the Airlines and 2 for Tourism.
If these are not used and still in one solid sheet you can be reimbursed the money. (apparently they tax you for everything in Nepal)
If you do a search you will find that the layout and colors vary, however I was able to find a picture with the correct colors in a full sheet.
The coupons in the game have had some of the information removed but remnants can still be seen if you look closely.
The Bank name and logos have been removed “Nabil Bank of Nepal”
Also some of the numbers on the side have been erased but can still be seen on the second coupon.
On the lower tag Trebhuvan has been removed but is still present on the upper portion, this is the name of the airport in Kathmandu.
The luggage tags are from Thai Airways International. (Thailand)
Service to Kathmandu from Jakarta (Indonesian) and Denpasar (Java)
The TG is the code for Thai Airways.
If you look at the 2 tags you will see that on each they removed different numbers, using both you make complete tag codes.
At the bottom of page 38 is that smear that in the photo I took and the scan of the art book (see post farther up the page) shows signs of having text under it so as per what I posted above I came out with Arcadia Hotel Kathmandu.
Arcadia Apartment Hotel | Apartment Nepal | Apartment Thamel
It took me 2 weeks of trying different filters and Google searches to come to that.
It could be wrong but it seems like it could be a place Nate would probably go if for nothing else but the Pizza.
At one point I thought the bottom line said “Forever Brenda”.
Well that's about it.
I hope some of you find this useful and informative.
Eric...

Sorry about that, I closed my Flickr account since I haven't used it in about 4 years.
I'll see about uploading them again when I have the time.

I reposted the images I took off my Flickr account.
Interesting thing to note.
The some of the buildings that the Kathmandu Metropolitan City ticket is for fell down and where destroyed in that big earth quake they had in 2015.

To anyone looking for some of the files that are no longer available, I have them all saved to my Google Drive
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B4JfYO4o1l89X21xTW5iTjdpWFU?usp=sharing
I downloaded them years ago in hopes of making my own replica. Never got around to it, so feel free to use them for your own project!
