Anyone print this out. I see the boxes on the side of the picture are cut off so that means the picture is not complete. In art class we'd get these and have to make a cube using glue etc and thus it'd be a cube with some next shit. The manta/string ray has four dissects as does the ladybug, The flounder and scarab only have on at the 1/3 mark on each of the thing. I'm saying something with that. These need to be printed out and folded same with the circle and triangle. Good luck with the rar cracks fellas.

you fucking wish, It didn't work.
Adding on to what I was saying earlier he chose the name Hermes Trismegistus for a reason. Hermeticism is based on religion, philosophy and other shit. I was thinking about the animals per say and while I was digging hermetica is based on this "Three Parts of the Wisdom of the Whole Universe" Alchemy, Astrology and Theurgy. Theurgy I would think is out of the picture due to it being "magic" and Alchemy doesn't quite fit the picture. Astrology is one of the only logical answers right now that I've come up with, now I may beleive that the animals have something to do with the Astrological Clock in Venice and certain animals are certain roman numerals. This is all I've come up for now.

I've already seen this riddle before, so I'll give a hint. Hermes Trismegistus is meant to be the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptain god Throth combined; the animals in the picture are all found either around or in the Mediterranean sea which is what separates Egypt and Greece. After you find out that connection you put the pieces together and they make a map. You'll find the answer after that.

Do you have the complete version of this, OP?
I am trying to figure out if there is simply a message behind it, or if the images are supposed to me aligned in a certain way.

The answer to the puzzle is: bacon.

I do not believe there are any more components to this particular puzzle.
As I recall there was one other puzzle, a hill cipher, that this Hermes fellow passed to a different Worlds user, but that one has long since been lost. To my knowledge it was unrelated to this one.
