The cryptogram on the upper right wing says "NUMBER OF THREE". By translating the numbers into letters with the alphabet right next to it. I count 13 threes on the puzzle. Means nothing to me except bad luck. Can anybody else contribute?

I came to the same conclusion, but to add to that, after I solved it, I saw that the dice above it (6,2,5) tell you how many letters are in each word ie number (6) of (2), three (5), to help you pair the numbers into single or double digits. Not that significant, but at least solved.
I have also solved the purpose of the other 2 sets of dice in the corners, not sure if I am ready to give out spoilers yet though. I haven't solved the significance of the snake eyes dice though.

I don't think the NUMBER of THREE is referring to how many threes are in the puzzle. It is something else.

That scarab is not sacred. No way.

I don't think it's particularly sacred either. Certainly I have called it everything except a Child of God.

I have a few choice words for that scarab too!
I am at the point where I have decoded several "messages" or "hints", but they are so vague, I don't know what to do with them.

Time to collaborate? The letter square within the scarab spells KNOWLEDGE. That's pretty obvious, but I'm wondering if that is somehow showing us how to create (or decode) number squares.
--------------- 2 | 6/9 | 4 | --------------- 7 | 5 | 3 | --------------- 6/9 | 1 | 8 |

The dice in the border (not counting the two "one's" in the scarab:
There are: 3 one's 5 two's 4 three's 2 four's 6 five's 1 six
Interesting that it represents the same six numbers, only re-coded.
Does that mean NUMBER OF THREE is 4?

When you think about a dice having only 6 sides, and only 6 numbers can come up, that is not very remarkable, especially when there are a total of 21 dice faces showing.
It is possible that there might be something there. But I think it is unlikely.

Question: Where is everyone stuck?
I am stuck wondering about the vague messages. I don't understand what they mean, or what it is that I am supposed to do.
I am also wondering what to do with the 5x5.
And I would like to know who is working on this besides the people who have posted in the forum. Are there people out there that just haven't posted? Let us know you're here.

I am at the same point. Think I have all I need just don't know how to put it together. Lots of possibllities to try though.

When each group of dice on the lower right are connected with a line (going 1 to 5 each) they form familiar letters that aren’t much help.
The dice in the lower left (8,2,3 & 1,7,5) can be used as letter positions in the word Ouroboros giving “our orb” which may refer to the Sun or RA.

I like that ... but what about the HJRBKT also written there. I've been trying to put the 8 2 3 1 7 5 to those letters as well.

It is possible that there might be something there. But I think it is unlikely. Hmmm .... not sure we are understanding each other. With 21 dice faces showing, there could be any combination of numbers. For example, there could be 15 ones, 4 threes, and 2 sixes. But looking at the dice faces of one, two, three, four, five six, there are exactly 3, 5, 4, 2, 6, 1 of each respectively. Dice Face Number Showing 1 3 2 5 3 4 4 2 5 6 6 1
It's a direct mapping of the number 1 to 6.
1 = 3 2 = 5 3 = 4 4 = 2 5 = 6 6 = 1
Not sure it means anything, but it can't be a coincidence when it wouldn't work out that way if any single dice face had a different number showing. For example, if one of the fours were a three, we'd have
1 = 3 2 = 5 3 = 5 4 = 1 5 = 6 6 = 1

Does that mean you've solved all of the "individual" sections of the scarab? For example, you know what the 115812621 etc. section says? Along with all of the other sections? If so, damn, you're good.
