During the course of the Maranatha Puzzle, clues were released on the puzzle’s website.  Each month a new clue was presented to the readers.  They were to “offer aid in the successful conclusion of the project.”

The following is a list of those clues; similar to how they were given on the site with caps, punctuations, and spellings. It has been debated whether any or all of the inconsistencies in the clues were intended as additional hints.

The last 13 clues that were given on the Time Monk site came with elaborate pages of additional text.  The clues themselves were etched on stone tablet images.  They did not have any caps, word breaks, or punctuation.  They were given in the Pig-pen cipher which was the same for the encoded text of the book.

Here is the first clue:

‘There are no ‘Red Herrings’ in the Maranatha- Et in Arcadia Ego publication.  Every sentence of the coded text has a specific and genuine reason.’

  2. A summary of the maranatha puzzle is here: https://mysteriouswritings.com/sample-page/ It was first published in 2005.

    There is not a prize anymore from the creators of the puzzle. The competition is over. However, the puzzle was never completely solved or explained, and like so many other mysteries/unsolved puzzles, people still like to work on them. The reward is in the journey of learning and discovering.

    The book is called Maranatha-et in arcadia ego. You can probably find them on auction sites…but, do not pay a lot for it…if you can’t find one and want one, let me know….

  7. So much to learn………. so little time…………when a person discovered that they had found their rainbow it became obvious with the stunning display of humility that they did not even understand the game that was being played. As a righteous man, the master will prevail to teach the apprentice?
