Leonardo Da Vinci - mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, astrology, geometry, engineering, music, and of course art. As an inventor he made quite a few things that were ahead of his time. Such as a tank, a catapult, a machine-gun, a parachute, an ornithopter, a diving suit, a calculator and even a self-driving trolley. He was very popular in Italy, but disappeared for a period of two years as it is believed that he contacted other civilizations that gave him a knowledge to help him lead humanity to a better future. Leonardo was also a cryptologist, which is why many researchers believe that he encoded some of this ancient knowledge into his work, which if decoded, would unlock the secrets of the universe.
If we believe the theory that one of the best ways to find reliable knowledge about our own past is in the old books, then several things are revealed. For 2000 years the Christians believed every single word from the Bible until it turned out that it didn’t tell the whole truth about Jesus. And in the so-called "forbidden books" there are documents that show his life in a different light. One of these documents is a manuscript from the ancient Egypt that is over 1500 years old. 26 pages written in the Coptic language better known as the Gospel of Judas. It says that Judas was Jesus' favourite disciple and that without his betrayal, the mission of Christ would have been impossible.
Most of the knowledge of our past is very closely guarded by secret societies - the Freemasons, the Knights Templar, the Rosicrucians, and others. They left coded clues to the whereabouts of the ancient relics so that only certain people could decode them. These are exactly the types of clues Leonardo Da Vinci left in his paintings.
When we arrange the letters we get - CONSOLAMENTVM, which means consolation. The merging of the humanity with God and the infinity. According to him, this is one of Leonardo Da Vinci's messages to future generations concerning the Holy Grail.
The church of Santa Maria delle Grazie is situated in one of the quiet corners of Milan. In its dining room is the real "Last Supper", which measures 460 by 880 cm. This is not the first painting of the Last Supper, but Leonardo's version is quite different. While the earlier representations depicted everyone as saints, Da Vinci's work presented them as ordinary people. Without their halos.
Mario Taddei, an expert in Da Vinci’s work, says that this was Leonardo’s way to send a message. According to him, the people in this painting, including Jesus, are not saints, but just normal mortal people. Many historians believe that Leonardo was not religious and did not believe in God, but in the nature of the universe. To him nature was god and therefore he treated everyone as ordinary individuals.
Unfortunately, the painting was damaged during the Napoleonic times and later on from multiple explosions during the World War II. Serious work began on its restoration in 1980, but most of the painting was lost forever. It is interesting that the painting was painted on the wall, but is not a mural.
Mural painting are executed upon freshly laid lime plaster, and Leonardo didn’t use this traditional technique because he didn’t want to rush things. On the contrary, he was terribly addicted to his work, did it with great love, and witnesses said that they had often seen Leonardo abandoning any other work and running in the worst heat to the church to draw a small line or outline a symbol. He even found himself forgetting to eat or drink, spending whole days and nights writing down his thoughts and then applying them to his work.
The Italian musician Giovanni Maria Palla is convinced that Leonardo encoded musical notes and an entire composition in The Last Supper. Besides being a brilliant artist and inventor, Leonardo was also an incredible musician having sung to the Medici, and he was playing the lyre for many years.
The first thing he realized was that if he superimposes the five lines of the musical staff over the painting, the loaves of bread, the position of the hands of Jesus and the apostles looks like musical notes. However, he couldn’t see a melodic structure until he realized that they should be read from right to left. Which was Leonardo's style. The result? A 40-seconds long requiem as he described it, which sounds best, played on organ. The church music was most commonly played on that instrument at the time. We've already seen quite a few times that Leonardo used sacred geometry more than once. And music is based on mathematics, and there are a lot of options to encode messages in it.
