- jmpeagle, on 10/10/2007, -16/+104another example of the terrorist Da Vinci and his plot for a NWO. Da Vinci was obviously behind 9/11.
- xedd, on 10/10/2007, -2/+88Wait everybody!
I can fold a dollar bill and make George Washington's portrait look like a mushroom.
Cool, huh? - jiub, on 10/10/2007, -17/+83And sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
It's a beautiful painting depicting one of the most defining events in the history of mankind (whether you believe it happened or not is irrelevant, the whole passion story shaped the last 2000 years of human civilization). Do you really need to find more meaning in it than that? - guardianzero, on 10/10/2007, -1/+67hipitus hopitus?
- mesmeriffic, on 10/10/2007, -8/+73This "Decoding Da Vinci" ***** is getting way too old.
- Gongjimein, on 10/10/2007, -6/+59And as you can see, Saint Peter was actually a rabbit. In fact, as evidenced by the Umbraculum (E.G. Pope hat), it was properly created to fit on top of a bunny.
- chillmandan, on 10/10/2007, -5/+51Who would have thought that if you mirrored a picture of people, it would look like a person on the other side of the painting.
- jbink303, on 10/10/2007, -3/+35I did my own version of this, and, after A LOT of tweaking, I got a little better result, I think.
http://i14.tinypic.com/6h8fu5g.jpg - Snaieke, on 10/10/2007, -7/+39Dear 8 pounds 6 ounces baby Jesus, new born, not even spoken a word yet....
- ninti, on 10/10/2007, -5/+34Yes of course, because taking an image, flipping it, changing the opacity of each copy, and superimposing it on itself would have been such an easy way to hide secret images in the 15th century.
Really, this is even worse than seeing Jesus in a tortilla or demons in the smoke from the 9/11 building. People really are pathetic. - Indyanna, on 10/10/2007, -66/+95If only the same amount of time and effort being devoted to Da Vinci's painting would be spent on actually reading about the Last Supper in the Bible... a lot more "discoveries" to be made...
- Vaeduus, on 10/10/2007, -2/+27If you look at Jesus...the mirror effect makes him look kinda like...
RAPTOR JESUS! - SkippyDoorknob, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22"Scholars" find this?
From the article:
"According to Slavisa Pesci, an Italian amateur scholar"
"amateur scholar" = some guy with a blog who can use Photoshop to flip an image. - andregriffin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22Someone get this man a penis, quick.
- djsputnik, on 10/10/2007, -2/+23and if you play "Stairway to Heaven" backwards. . .
- SpectralSounds, on 10/10/2007, -1/+22"Mr Pesci, who revealed his "findings" last week, chose not to speculate on who the child could be, but did say it was most definetely, 'some kinda yoot'."
- roguetrick, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20Looks like she has the bald fat dude in a chokehold.
- thedarkrabbit, on 10/10/2007, -7/+26So.... if you take 2 photos... make them partially transparent and then stack them on top of each other you get a different image? I'm SHOCKED!
- skyfire1, on 10/10/2007, -3/+21Some people forget that Da Vinci wasn't alive when Jesus died.
- hipnerd, on 10/10/2007, -5/+18Yeah, religion starts almost all wars, except for the current Iraq War, the previous Iraq War, Vietnam, Korea and World War II. Hitler didn't care too much for clergymen. either did Stalin. And Chairman Mao Zedong killed a lot of people because they practiced religion, not because he did.
Now that I think about it, World War I wasn't the result of religion, either was the U.S. Civil War, the War of 1812 or our Revolutionary War.
It's almost as if war happens all the time, and some people occasionally attempt to justify their actions by saying "God wants it this way."
War is a flaw in the human soul, not a byproduct of religion.Read the teachings of Jesus. You won't find much on war there. Just a lot on turning the other cheek and caring for the poor. I won't speak for other religions, because I'm no expert. But I know plenty of Jews and a few Muslims, and the way they practice their religion does not appear to call for my death, either.
So blaming this on religion is ***** and a cop-out. - ForkySpoony, on 10/10/2007, -21/+34I like being godless. There are less wars. Excluding of course wars over oil.
- BillGod, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15If you turn the super imposed version upside down. it looks like they are giving each other head.
- jordanau, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13So if I draw a picture of Louis XIV with a a third eyeball, does that mean he really had a third eyeball?
- jimmoses, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10How to experience paradolia:
Step 1: take a noisy or random image
Step 2: look at it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradolia - krnldmp, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12Why would he waste his time?
- CasinoJack, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10No matter how hard I cross my eyes I still can't see it!
- Kilik123, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9this is like how people see the virgin mary in food.. "if you squint your eyes and tilt your head this way...."
- loutang82, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9There actually is evidence that Jesus was a real person. The only dispute, really, is if he actually was the messiah or not. I'm agnostic, so I have no reason to make this up. A few years back, there was an issue of TIME magazine that laid out all of the evidence that supports this. Now did he really turn water to wine? Or did they just have really drunk story tellers back then. that's the only real question.
- slimpip, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10He wasn't referring to the painting, genius.
- jonesy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Actually you are mistaken, not only did Josephus mention Jesus, but also Tacitus, Thalus, Pliny and Lucian.
Can you really believe that the apostles (Most of them were killed because of their faith) would have died for a man who they made up themselves? - justok, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7well, mebbe his internet was down.
- mannymix03, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8this is the exact same ***** as the whole "play a song in reverse and you hear demonic chanting". YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PATTERN, do you really think that by doing all this mirroring and transparency would have been done to hide an image of a woman and child?
- perogi21, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7He also could write upside down and backwards (at the same time) in many different languages. With that fact alone, I think it is very plausible that he could have implanted a hidden message in this manner.
Of course, I would rather the MythBusters take on this challenge. - jonesy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8You are the one who is ignorant of the evidence, very few historians doubt Jesus' existance.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_Jesus
"Though the reconstructions vary, they generally agree on these basic points: Jesus was a Jewish teacher[1] who attracted a small following of Galileans and, after a period of ministry, was crucified by the Romans in Palestine during the governorship of Pontius Pilate" - Khabi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8yes, it also makes Jesus look like a cyclops... ALERT THE PRESS!
- hipnerd, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9@rationalist: Well, that's a lot like the CIA: you only hear about the failures. It's pretty hard to quantify the wars that didn't happen, isn't it? Look at all the charitable works that religion has inspired. The great art. The enrichment of men's souls.
I look at the great spiritual thinkers and their contributions to society: Jesus, Thomas Aquinas. Buddha, Gahndi. C.S. Lewis. It's hard for me to see that religion has had a negative effect on society. What about those monks in the Dark Ages who preserved for us the works of Aristotle and Plato? They preserved the lonely flame of knowledge at a time when Europe was the cultural gutter of the world.
Have the mean and ignorant used religion to justify bigotry and hatred? Sure. But it's absurd to say that without religion they would cease to be mean and ignorant. If not religion they would use country, or race, or political party to justify their hate. There is always some organization or belief system that those who need to divide the world into "we-who -are-superior" and "the-unwashed-others" can swear allegiance to -- even atheism. - LegOfLamb, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Exactly. Leonardo da Vinci was just some guy who was good at painting. He happened to paint a picture involving Jesus, and suddenly its some kind of holy image with hidden messages. Like Leonardo da Vinci knew some kind of awesome secret, but didn't want anyone to know until they developed technology to blend mirror images of it against the original version, etc. etc...
- halfabean, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7I don't know if you're dumb or not funny. Either way.
- KnightMareInc, on 10/10/2007, -5/+11every week theres a new image discovered in his painting
- jonesy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7I did read both what you have written, and my own source and my point is this as quoted above; not very many people (educated, informed people including atheists) doubt that Jesus, the man , existed.
You discredit all Christian sources when historians do not, the gospels are widely regarded as valuable historical texts.
I am well aware that the gospels were not written by their namesakes, and that they were written some time after Jesus walked the earth (a very short time compared to other historical texts), and this is not surprising given that the oral tradition of teaching was widely used at that time, and many people couldn't read and write. But the important thing is that the details recorded in the gospels were from people who _were_ eyewitnesses to the actual events. What is also interesting is that while all gospels may be written in the authors' own styles and not all include exactly the same details and events, they all correlate with each other and all agree on the major points.
Have a read of this champ: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_Jesus#Jesus_as_myth
"…if we apply to the New Testament, as we should, the same sort of criteria as we should apply to other ancient writings containing historical material, we can no more reject Jesus' existence than we can reject the existence of a mass of pagan personages whose reality as historical figures is never questioned. ... To sum up, modern critical methods fail to support the Christ myth theory. It has 'again and again been answered and annihilated by first rank scholars.' In recent years, 'no serious scholar has ventured to postulate the non historicity of Jesus' or at any rate very few, and they have not succeeded in disposing of the much stronger, indeed very abundant, evidence to the contrary." - trollick, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Because Da Vinci was there.
- Kerath, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6I believe, but have yet to prove, that one day after breakfast, Leonardo da Vinci set into motion the events that resulted in my birth.
- shaun1018, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I found a Goatse when I flipped Vertically instead... What does it mean?
http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/9765/holygoatsees9.jpg - Detritus, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8That's just it though, you can't find out anything today that Rome didn't want you to know 1700 years ago.

I think the baby is is a bit of a stretch, but the knights are very distinct. The "hidden chalice" resting on Bartholomew's head is also believed to be a reference to his Gospel which mentions Mary Magdalen. - Xyleene, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8Well, at least you have kept your streak of not contributing anything useful to the internet going.
- rkiga, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5yes, because if he wanted, it would be impossible for da vinci to make a sketch of whatever he wanted, then make a copy of it and hold it up to the light so he could edit it.
see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vellum
regardless, yes, this "article" is complete BS. - slayerab, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7And photoshop didn't exist so he could super impose a reflective layer on top of the original
- Ninja337, on 10/10/2007, -7/+12Yeah less wars, except for the failure nationalist/socialist/liberal/whatever revolutions every 10 minutes
- jonesy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5I agree with you, my reply was to the parent poster, dildoolielly.
