Re: 9328490238209

Appears to be slightly-scrambled GPS location for a castle in France called "Château de Robert le Diable". Look it up in Google/Wikipedia. The castle tower looks just like the tower in the teaser video. The actual long/lat of the castle is 49.3396, 0.9597.

The 1st half of the code, 932849, gets rearranged to something like 49.2893, and the 2nd half, 238209 get's rearranged to 0.9(something). It doesn't match exactly; there is some additional "tweak" missing to get an exact match on the longitude/latitude. Probably has something to do with the length of the video (57 SECONDS) since longitude/lat can also be represented in degrees/minutes/seconds. (Since the tweet mentioned watching the video again). Maybe have to add in some multiple of 57 seconds to the long/lat, or something like that.

What does it mean? Not much. It just keeps alive the concept of a tower and/or defensive stronghold.
