Rune page question

Ok, I translated the runes with no problem and got the clue, but there is where my brain shuts down. Can I get a small clue for the clue?

The Rune Page? If you have deciphered the runes then no clue is needed. The solution key is given cleary in the message. Maybe I just don't understand your question?

Circles

Hi all. I'm having some trouble on the circles cipher puzzle. I know the cipher but I think I'm using it incorrectly. Can someone help?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

I understand the orientation markers, but when I turn the orientation am I supposed to change the direction that I'm reading too? I have found a few phrases like "must beware" and "i see you" but everything else is gibberish.

Just change the orientation of the symbols, keep reading in the same direction. If you're seeing english, you're nearly there.

One thing about this puzzle that has bothered myself and others is not being able to translate the Hebrew that appears on two of the pages. Has anyone been able to work it out? If not, does anyone here know someone who might be able to translate it?

Maybe I've been reading too much about ciphers recently, but did anyone try atbash on it ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atbash )?

(A question, not a hint. Regrettably, I did nothing about the Hebrew when it passed me by.)

simokon!

Simokon's atbash connection is spot on. It just HAS to be that! Please, calling all polyglots, decipher those codes with an atbash cipher in mind. I tried to do it, and still came out gibberish. Don't be fooled by the Joel, I have no hebrew knowledge. At all.

Hebrew

(I posted this on the nordinho, so for all members, i apologize for the double post)

About the hebrew from the runes page. I have been looking at it for a while trying to figure out the niqqud (the diacritical marks on the letters) and noticed that I think the niqqud are upside down on the 4th letter (yod) and the 10th letter (alef). Sooooo . . .trying to think outside the box, i turned the hebrew over. I have a cold right now so I don't know if the nyquil is playing tricks on me, but does it not look like it could be an english word? Maybe something.org? I tried a couple options and nothing seemed promising but I thought I'd throw it out.

Not sure if I'm way off, but I'm trying to think about it differently than simply translating the hebrew.

cheers.

EDIT: I tried atbashing it, using the knight's templar cipher and everything else I could think of. Something looked promising when I was atbashing, but right now I think it's nothing.

Hebrew

Where is the second page with hebrew on it? The one other than the runes page. I am currently on the mayan glyphs page after scarface, am I just not there yet?

The level after the glyphs page is the one with the second set of hebrew text in it. Wink

Ok, I feel stupid now. I swear I thought I typed in the solution and it didn't work, so I thought it needed manipulating like the "lady and kids" solution.

Thanks for getting me back on target.

Technical Issues

The website is experiencing intermittent downtime this morning. Hopefully all will be resolved shortly.

purplehell.com has a bunch of cipher breaking tools. Most of these riddles are ciphers to be decrypted.

This cipher is a very easy one. Really. Oh. Truly.
