I seriously thought the churches were a constalation. I took a magnifying glass to the monitor to see if any of htem matched!
I've had a major breakthrough as far as this puzzle is concerned. STOP THINKING!
I played with this thing all day today (even when I shouldn't have been, in class, and when I was administering an exam) and got no where. I stoped Runeing my day to play a game with my daughter, and had an epiphany.
The brain works in strange and mysterious ways. In class today my instructor told us she was going to play a tape of a language she was sure none of us had heard before (20 chinese in a class of 22) I went back to the Runes. And guess what, within seconds I recognized the speech as Latin. A language that had been dead in my brain for over 20 years. Even better, I understood the content. I STOPPED THINKING and it came to me. The same applies to the Runes.
By the way, I also know what the word above the Soduko means on page 2. If you want to know, I'm open to bribery!
