I'm not entirely sure. I'm not 100% certain where or why Xav got the URL's for those from, unless he just remembered them from last time and pasted them in? The first 3 haven't changed, and I believe the reveal4.jpg was only showing up through because of them changing the website formatting so many times, as other characters and text were leaking through the sides. I think they then changed it to a black square so it wouldn't be as noticeable until they sorted the formatting. Perhaps? It didn't change for quite a while.
reveal4.jpg has been hidden in the site since it was first launched (along with 3 and 2), and Xavier found it then which was our first clue we were looking at an ARG.

reveal4.jpg was previously the placeholder image for the Abe face reveal video, and it’s still in that same place. 3 and 2 have now been removed since the video files for the hand and chest have been removed.

Back then all 4 reveal images were different image files, so they’ve been changed recently. I doubt they would change them for no reason, and there would be no reason to change 3, 2 or 1 as they’re no longer on the page, so they may be getting set up for a new puzzle.


:
I ran the image through some editing software and nothing showed up. Could be wrong though. It's possible it's worth further investigation.
My theory is they’re being set up ahead of time for another puzzle which isn’t yet open for us, so they’re meaningless on their own. I’d expect more clues to give them context later.


:
We have had lead up's to puzzles we've had to solve before, I believe before we had the Witness Puzzle piece, we had to solve something to unlock it first. I think it's about time, since we just finished the Twitter followers goal and it's been over a week without any real objectives for us.
Every time we’ve had to find the challenge for a puzzle piece it’s been marked with a ? to indicate we need to find it. No ? means no challenge to find yet. If there is a puzzle we need to find, it’s not going to unlock the next code piece or its challenge.
