The number 1746 is an important number representing the Fusion/Union of opposites. It has already been noted that the symbol of the hermaphrodite is also a symbol of the Fusion/Union of Opposites (and of the Philiosopher's Stone.) www.gla.ac.uk/myglasgow/library/files/special/exhibns/month/april2009.html#:~:text=The%20combination%20of%20substances%20and,the%20solar%20element%2C%20the%20male. The combination of substances and the union of opposites is another key element in the alchemical process. This is often represented as a mystical marriage of the lunar element representing the feminine, and the solar element, the male. These two opposing elements meet and are joined in what is known as the 'chemical wedding'. This union creates something bigger and more powerful than the individual parts - the perfect integration of male and female energies - the hermaphrodite.
In the illustration shown to the left, the chemical wedding (or 'demonstration of perfection' as the manuscript caption describes it) is represented by the figures of a King and Queen.
Another symbol of the union of opposites is the union of sol and luna(sun and moon). In alchemy this union is often represented by the marriage of the king and queen.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_the_KingChrist the King is a title of Jesus in Christianity referring to the idea of the Kingdom of God where the Christ is described as seated at the right hand of God.[1]
Many Christian denominations consider the kingly office of Christ to be one of the threefold offices: Christ is a prophet, priest, and king.[2]
According to a tradition followed most prominently by the Catholic Church, Mary is given the title of Queen of Heaven.The reference to the union of the King and Queen can be interpreted as a referring to the union/marriage of the King and Queen of Heaven - Jesus and Mary. Using the above correlations the number of 1746 can be correlated with the union/marriage of the King and Queen/the union of Jesus and Mary. This union of Jesus and Mary can be interpreted as Jesus in the womb of Mary. Et In Arcadia Ego..... Et in Arcadie Ego.....Et in Arca Dei Ego ......Also in the BVM I (i.e. Jesus in the womb of the BVM) Using the above simple transformation of the phrase Et In Arcadia Ego and the above correlations of the number 1746 it can be shown that the phrase Et In Arcadia Ego may also be correlated with the number 1746. Since the number 1746 is the gematria value of A WYVERN in English gematria, the phrase ET IN ARCADIA EGO may also be correlated with A WYVERNIn this way the connection between the phrase Et In Arcadia Ego and the beast( A WYVERN) is demonstrated.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chymical_Wedding_of_Christian_RosenkreutzThe Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz (German: Chymische Hochzeit Christiani Rosencreutz anno 1459) is a German book edited in 1616[1] in Strasbourg. Its anonymous authorship is attributed to Johann Valentin Andreae. The Chymical Wedding is often described as the third of the original manifestos of the mysterious "Fraternity of the Rose Cross" (Rosicrucians), although it is markedly different from the Fama Fraternitatis and Confessio Fraternitatis in style and in subject matter.
It is an allegoric romance (story) divided into Seven Days, or Seven Journeys, like Genesis, and recounts how Christian Rosenkreuz was invited to go to a wonderful castle full of miracles, in order to assist the Chymical Wedding of the king and the queen..... The Maranatha Puzzle makes mention of the Chymical Wedding of Christain Rosenkreutz in its notes, and also specifically to the Tomb of Rosenkreutz in the text: Such is the beast that you must seek in the land of white where the red serpents of Icknield and Ermine gathered to protect the tomb of Rosenkreutz and the gold of Enoch here buried above him.In this extract the beast is explicitly linked with the location(indicated by "..where..." )of the Tomb of Rosenkreutz. This reference to the Tomb of Rosenkreutz is a reference to the The Tomb of the Chymical Wedding( in which the main character is Christian Rosenkreutz). The Chymical Wedding can be correlated with the marriage of the King and Queen which can be equated with Union of opposites represented by the number 1746. Since the number 1746 can be correlated with both the phrase Et IN ARCADIA EGO and A WYVERN, it may be interpreted that the Tomb of Rosenkreutz may be equated with the tomb with ET IN ARCADIA EGO engraved on it as depicted in Poussin's painting, and it's location correlated with A WYVERN(the beast).

This stone was originally at the centre of the crossroads (slightly to the east)
The town of Royston took its name from the Roy Stone, originally situated at the crossroads of Ermine Street and Icknield Way. Royston Cave therefore can be correlated with Roy Stone Cave. The English gematria value of Roy Stone Cave is 1674 which is an anagram of 1746, the gematria value of A WYVERN. reptilesmagazine.com/red-viper/#:~:text=It%20has%20been%20said%20that,its%20validity%20as%20a%20species. Britain is home to a single adder species, the northern or cross adder (Vipera berus berus), which exhibits sexual dichromatism (the sexes are different colours); the males usually being light grey with black zigzags while the females are brown with dark brown zigzags. Juvenile adders are often deep red-brown in colour and at one time they were thought to represent a different species, a dwarf viper peculiar to Great Britain. Gerald R. Leighton, writing in 1901, even proposed the scientific recognition of the “red viper” as a new species and suggested a name for it.The reference to “ red serpents” in England can be interpreted as a reference to the “ red viper”, a name suggested as a new species of viper/adder but actually a young of the northern or cross adder. The word WYVERN is derived from the word VIPER. The red serpents referred to in the text therefore can be interpreted as a clue that the beast is somehow related to the viper. The answer of a WYVERN fits the bill since the word WYVERN is said to be derived from the word VIPER. The image of the two serpents on p13 of the original book with the Zig Zags down their body seems to be consistent with the appearance of the northern/cross adders seen in the video in the above link.

Adders are Britain's only venomous snake, but unless alarmed, cornered or handled they pose little threat to people.The European Adder is also called the Common Viper. Therefore it may be concluded that a Cross Adder is synonymous with Cross Viper. The words Cross Viper may be interpreted as indicating that the word Viper is linked to an X(Cross). Since the word Wyvern is derived from the word Viper, X Viper can be correlated with X Wyvern. These two words may be interpreted as indicating that the X that marks the spot is associated with a Wyvern. From previous post: "The reference to “ red serpents” in England can be interpreted as a reference to the “ red viper”....."Vipera" in Latin can be translated as "Viper" or "Serpent". i.e Red serpent = Red Viper

So far, the only solid evidence that I have given to show that the treasure of the Maranatha- Et In Arcadia Ego armchair treasure-hunt was the Tomb of Jesus, has been to show that the phrase ET IN ARCADIA EGO can be shown to be a reference to Jesus.
That was simply done first by discovering that in French the word for ARCADIA is ARCADIE. ARCADIE in turn is an anagram of ARCA DEI, which is a synonym for THE ARK OF THE COVENANT.THE ARK OF THE COVENANT is a title of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Using these pieces of information the word ARCADIA in the phrase ET IN ARCADIA EGO, can be replaced by the BVM so that it reads: ET IN THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY EGO or in English AND IN THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY I. Since the only "I" that was in the BVM is JESUS, it may be concluded that the tomb on which the ET IN ARCADIA EGO phrase is inscribed in Poussin's paintings refers to THE TOMB OF JESUS.
The title of the treasure hunt - MARANATHA - ET IN ARCADIA EGO - also supports the idea that the hunt had to do with JESUS in some regard as the word MARANATHA is said to mean "OUR LORD COMES" or "COME O LORD". The reference to the LORD in this meaning, also can be understood as a reference to JESUS
So far so good. Is there any other evidence however contained in the MARANATHA-ET IN ARCADIA EGO text, clues, parchment of clues or images that firmly indicates that the treasure that is being sought in the hunt is THE TOMB OF JESUS?
The answer of course is: YES.
The most clear evidence of this occurs in the sentence near the end of the third chapter of text - Parce Signe Tu Le Vaincras:
THE TREASURE IS NOT NEW IT IS KNOWN BUT LOST LIKE THE RICHNESS OF THE SPRING OF ARETHUSA
On the face of it this sentence seems to have nothing to do with JESUS. However by using a bit of word play it can be shown that the sentence clearly indicates that JESUS is the treasure.
How is this done?
The first step is to discover that the word NOT may be translated into Latin by the word MALE. The second step is to discover that the word NEW is an anagram of the Welsh word ENW which means NAME. The third step is to discover that the word KNOWN in Latin can be translated as NOTUS which also has the meaning of FAMILIAR. The fourth step is to discover that the word RICHNESS can be translated into Latin by the word COPIA which also has the meaning of NUMBER. The fifth step is to recognise that the words THE SPRING OF ARETHUSA contain 3, 6, 2, & 8 letters respectfully.The phrase THE SPRING OF ARETHUSA therfore can be correlated with the number 3628.
Using the above information the full sentence can be read as:
THE TREASURE IS MALE NAME IT IS FAMILIAR BUT LOST - LIKE THE NUMBER OF 3628
The number 3628 however, is an anagram of the number 2368 which is the number(value) of the name IHSOUS XRISTOS(JESUS CHRIST) in Greek Isopsephy.
Using this final piece of information the sentence can now be seen to read:
THE TREASURE IS MALE NAME IT IS FAMILIAR BUT LOST - JESUS CHRIST.
This sentence therefore can be understood as indicating that the TREASURE is JESUS CHRIST

. Hi M,
For me, the puzzle has three pieces: 1) believing that the puzzle does contain The Key, and 2) using the puzzle to determine The Key.
And 3) using The Key to reveal the Grail.
If you mske it past 1), it follows that The Key must align with the content of the book, clues, and other related information (like interviews) / chats).
Since the book tells us that the early civilizations knew about the secret, and the ancient Aztecs and ancient Asians knew the secret of nothing, your post would mean that the Key would have come along after Jesus was christed and would be different than The Key. Or, please clarify how the secret, The Key, and the Grail are related.
Thanks, good to see you posting.

Hi A,
I don’t really understand your statement that ‘ your post would mean that the Key would have come along after Jesus was christed and would be different than The Key’. Can you clarify this for me.
Are you implying that ‘the Key’ and ‘The Key’ are different?
The Key that I have identified aligns with all the information/statements about the Key in the book/ clues. Using it also reveals the Grail. How one uses it is to simply discover what it can be correlated with. Using this process eventually leads to the understanding of what the Grail is.
Your statement that the Key MUST align with the content of the book, clues, and other related information( like interviews)/ chats) is not necessarily true. Remember the admonition to question everything you hear/ read?
For instance, just because Duncan has stated that the Key is a tilted hexagram does not mean that it is. I question whether Duncan ever knew how to solve the puzzle. It has always been my suspicion that he was entrusted with the task of being the front man of the puzzle without ever having been told how to solve it. His subsequent various you tube appearances gave the impression that he has no more idea of what the Grail is than anybody else.

Since the book tells us that the early civilizations knew about the secret, and the ancient Aztecs and ancient Asians knew the secret of nothing I don’t believe that the clue about ‘the ancient Aztecs and ancient Asians ‘ has anything to do with people from ancient civilisations any more than ‘The Spring of Arethusa’ has anything to do with a spring of water in Sicily in the context of the puzzle.

M, Looks like we both see the hexagram “solution” in a similar light, so that leads back to my first point in my post yesterday; how much of the Priory material do we accept as valid (true) for investigation of the Key? (looks like I used The Key and the Key interchangeably in my post). It seems like the smallest subset of material which is most likely to be valid is the first book. I dont have the book in front of me, so I will paraphrase and I’ll gladly accept corrections. Several statements made are: 1. So important was this secret, that they devised a device (the Key?) that in its very nature... 2. With each generation, an initiate reforged the Key I will think about your comments related to Jesus Christ. One of the clues that I really liked was the Christmas clue: “So did those feet in ancient times walk where they buried their burning gold, so did they lay their mantle down for a King to raise it as has standard” I believe that much of the Maranatha puzzle was presented in allegory and metaphor. Can you give more detail related to the “ancient Aztecs and ancient Asians” not being literal, though? And here another statement that to me, ends with a mix of literal anf : Here conjure the Beast with the Key (Jesus Christ?) and write the wisdom of numbered lines and words of the King ( who or what? ) Contentment is the Philosophers Stone This is a very direct statement, and I believe the Key and the Philosophers Stone had been used somewhat interchangeably in the book (or on its back cover) astree

30th June 2007 The Ancient Aztecs and Ancient Asians knew the secret of nothing. ANCIENT = 66
ANCIENT = 66
The word ANCIENT in both cases is followed by a NAME used to describe a person or people.
66 = THE NAME
The names are
AZTECS = 74
74 = A NUMBER
and
ASIANS = 63

Hi A, The most obvious thing about this clue is that all the words of ‘ancient Aztecs and ancient Asians ‘ begin with the letter A. The beginning of the clue therefore can be interpreted as “The 5 A’s”. “The 5 A’s” is the relevance of the phrase ‘ ancient Aztecs and ancient Asians’ rather than anything to do with people from ancient civilisations.

There is no doubt in my mind that the Key is the BVM. It fits with every mention of the Key in the book.It also unlocks the meaning of the other mysterious phrases such as - the secret, the beast, the King of Terrors, etc.
I have never been to RLC so I cannot say with 100% certainty that the information contained in the puzzle is confirmed by artefacts that still exist.All I can say is that from the safety and warmth of nice easy armchair the information contained in the puzzle tells an incredible story, one which has been worth every hour that I have spent working on it since the puzzle was first released in 2005 .
There are still portions of the text and monthly clues that I have not yet understood but I am confident that with a bit more patience they too will give up their secrets just as the rest have.

The King of Terrors = sword holder = sheath
The puzzle has numerous sexual references - the above is just one. Understanding these references helps to understand an aspect of the puzzle that was discussed very little online - understandably - when the competition was active. Investigating this aspect of the puzzle is a fruitful exercise.

Ohhh! My! God! I now see that it wa s expected that you would want to have a social inter-course about this sect's book. You have just spent the last sextuple thread pages talking about the impregnation of a Virgin. And now you set to uncover the graphic content of the book's sect's Scenes. Should this book that was referred to as the Little Red Book, an affectionate name for the book that was not used for it on Mr. Prize's sect's website, in truth now be known as the Little Red-Light-District Book?

FROM THE MYTHS OF HYGINUS
On Mount Cyllene, Tiresias, the son of a shepherd, is said to have struck with his staff, or trampled on, two snakes that were practicing the horizontal snake tango. How rude! Because of this action that was taken by him, as a punishment, the biologically male body of Tiresias was changed into the body of that of a biological female. Later, as advised by her oracle, Tiresias again trampled on the same snakes doing the same thing in the same place, and, as a punishment, she was restored biologically to being himself.
