The Message
In the Triplet Family a document has been passed down through the generations since 1099 when it was captured during the sack of Jerusalem in the first Crusade. The Triplet family are quite sure it is genuine and not a modern creation. We've translated the words for you:
(There's a bigger version shown below which may be easier to read)
The original was supposed to be written on thin sheets of gold but it was copied onto parchment. It consists of 4199 words written in a total of 13 languages.
The languages used are from all over the world and are:
- Hieroglyphs - Egyptian 3200 BCE – 400 CE deciphered 1820
- Cuneiform - Sumerian 3000 BCE - 100 CE deciphered 1836
- Old Chinese - Chinese 1200 BCE - 300 BCE
- Phoenician - Now Lebanon & Syria 1000 BCE - 250 BCE
- Latin - Roman 650 BCE onwards
- Greek - Greece 800 BCE onwards
- Hebrew - Israel 2000 BCE onwards
- Middle Aramaic - Arabia 200 CE - 1200 CE
- Mayan - Guatemala & Belize 200 BCE - 1700 CE deciphered 1980
- Tibetan - Tibet 650 CE onwards
- Punic - Tunisia (Carthage) 900 BCE - 300 CE
- Sanskrit (Brahmi) - India 300 BCE - 200 CE deciphered
- An unknown language.
In 1099 there was no way anyone could have known about all the civilizations which produced these languages let alone written them! It would have required a global traveller at a time when 'far' meant a day's ride on horseback.
The message appears to be written in blocks of 323 words. The words written in known languages are repeated in each block but apparently in a random order and different languages are used. The words written in the unknown language do not appear to be repeated.
The same two hieroglyph words are written in each 323 word block these words are translated as Anubis
and Order 
.
There are three occurrences of a symbol 
used as a word in each 323 block of text. They occur in the same positions in each 323 word block. This symbol does not appear to be a character of the unknown language - it would be too slow to draw.
All of the words written in the unknown language are exactly 8 symbols long.
323 = 17 x 19. If the words are arraigned in a 17 x 19 grid then the last 323 block of text would appear as follows (The languages have been translated for you).
Arranged like this the word Anubis always appears at the right hand side of the grid.

- Did you know that an average size pine tree takes 20 years to grow?
- From that tree you can make 1500 toilet paper rolls.
- An average person uses 127 rolls of toilet paper a year
- In the same area as that tree you can grow bamboo and it takes 3 years to grow to maturity.
- You can make toilet paper from bamboo - more in 20 years than that tree produces.
- No bleach used
- No plastic used
- Sequesters more carbon dioxide

The unknown symbols
There are 22 symbols used in the unknown language including a • which is possibly used as as a separator. The symbol 
is also possibly used as some form of punctuation. Here are the symbols of the unknown language from the end of the message:
Assuming these symbols, like the word Anubis is read right to left then this part of the message seems to be in three sections. If that's the case then .. indicates a new section.
The Triplet family also hold a rectangular shape 'stone' which also bears some of these symbols, some lines and crosses. Could this be a map? Could the symbol at the top mean a 0,0 coordinate or start position?
If the 'P' type symbol means the number zero then the first P:P type section might mean 'Start here' and he second section of unknown symbols might mean the numbers from 0 to 15. That would mean a count in hexadecimal.
Apart from the • and symbols and 16 other symbols which occur in the 2nd last text block all of the other symbols used consist of four other symbols only. These symbols are:
, 
, 
, 
The third last section could be an explanation of these symbols since there are four sections interpreted as [Hexadecimal number] [separator] [Symbol]. Remember, read from right to left.
You'll find, if this is correct, that the bulk of the message in unknown characters is an apparent random sequence of the hexadecimal numbers, #6F, #7E, #87, #97 which correspond to the decimal numbers 111, 126, 135, 151. What is special about these numbers? To most people they mean nothing but to a genetic engineer...?
The message and stone are said to hold the secret to a great power. The Triplet family have been unable to completely decipher it although a great deal more progress has been made since the 1980s when the Mayan language was first translated.
Or maybe a free online interactive adventure story?
Back in 1982 early text only adventure games were being written for home computers. One such game was 'Castle of Riddles' written by Peter Killworth and published by Acornsoft. Now it's been re-written and greatly expanded with added images and sound. Play it on your computer, tablet or even a phone.
