Can somebody give me a hint for 7 please?

[Mistery]

Write down the letters followed by the number of spaces. Add number of spaces to the letters each to get solution word.

Thank you , Good job Joanna.

Maybe 8 is just a regular cryptogram.

Wasn't there a culture thats written communication was a rope. I have an idea I think might work.

So we're back to square 1, with everybody at the same place again, on a hard riddle.

Hmm...

I'm currently thinking in terms of light; lightyears, speed of light etc. It's the Traffic lights, the "period of epic proportions", Aztec sunblock.

But, I don't know...

[jack]

Does anybody know the alphabet I'm refering to. I can't remember which culture used it. It looks sort of like this.

Yes, he may not be driving a car, because you can't read while driving. I know this is a stupid idea, but what if he's talking about a light ray going through somewhere?

@ Jack:
No, I don't think I know it. But I'll try to check.
By the way level 7 was solved by Flipmode.

It was used by an ancient civilization and this could easily convert into it. I've used it before in puzzles.

somebody see if they can get that page to work. It isn't working for me and it should be an Aztec alphabet!

[Joanna]

I can't get that to work either I'm afraid!

[Spacechild399]

Awww no!

[Fomitopsis]

If I remember correctly, the Aztecs used glyphs. But I'm no expert, so they might have used an alphabet as well.

[Mistery]

I found this aztec alphabet, is it sth like this you mean Jack?

I can't find any civilisations with that, but there may be some left so I'll keep looking.
