 		Good job Darkblaze.

Only minor translation errors. Hardly worth mentioning. But just for the sake of "completness"....

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Full time on earth
was not to be.

My life cut short
as a gift to thee.

For the red son did
I choose my rift.

In this year did
I impart my gift.


And although I enjoy the subject of old religions (specifically Judaism and Christianity), I don't know enough about the more "pagan" ones to get these. But I'll see if Google turns up anything of use.

The generaly held view is that Christ was 33 years old when he died. Because of some issues regarding the calendar, Christ's birth is place in 4 BC and thus died in AD 29.

 		I'd play this site if it didn't constantly kick you back to riddle 1 whenever you get one of the later ones wrong...and if you didn't have to enter "security" letter/number combo's every single time.

If the creator of this trail is reading this...what exactly is the purpose of either of these actions? You do realize that the "security" combo is in plain text in the source, so if I wanted to "bot" the site, its remarkably easy.

The only thing I can think of is that you want to avoid brute-forcing, but making your players jump through hoops just to make a guess is ridiculous. Please consider changing it. Thanks.
