Totheark

totheark, (also written as Totheark, ToTheArk or TTA), is an American YouTube side channel part of the Marble Hornets web series created by Troy Wagner (born: ) alongside co-creator Joseph DeLage (born: ).
The series now has up to three collective seasons, composed by the 39 Totheark videos alongside 92 videos from the Marble Hornets channel and many tweets on their official account, which are available as digital downloads along with DVDs from their official website.
Marble Hornets as a web series is heavily recognized for its impact in the management of storytelling in the digital landscape, especially concerning the horror genre, with the Totheark videos being the root of many of the narrative devices that are currently used by analog horror ARGs.
==History==
The channel consists of video responses to the main channel, usually crafted with cryptic and mocking messages towards the protagonists and the audience. While the video themselves may seem random at first, by resolving their riddles some tidbits and leads on the lore of the series and on the current plot points discussed on the main channel can be found.
The protagonists of Marble Hornets rarely acknowledge Totheark videos on the main channel, but they are frequently mentioned on the official Twitter account of the ARG, where sometimes Jay, the character played by Wagner, would help the audience in solving the codes of TTA videos when the creators saw the audience having too much difficulty in solving them than they hoped for.
The identity of the totheark channel owner was one of the biggest mysteries of the web series, but throughout it more hints were dropped on the fact that the channel curators were indeed three different characters, being the three masked people of Marble Hornets, who would occasionally also use the TTA videos themselves to talk between them.
==Trivia==
*TTA video File was erroneously removed because of a confirmed YouTube bug years after the end of the web series and it unfortunately was never brought back up. A re-upload of the video can be found here.
