Real-Life Code Found in Mona Lisa's Eyes






When I first saw the headline for this story, I thought it sounded like something straight out of the Da Vinci Code.  But this is real life.

Art detectives yesterday took a fresh look at the Mona Lisa and noticed something a little different in her eyes.  Hidden in the dark paint of her pupils are tiny letters and numbers, placed there by artist Leonardo da Vinci. They were only now revealed thanks to high-magnification techniques.

    I am sure there will be scramble to try and figure out the meaning of the letters and numbers - and perhaps we will never know. It is truly quite amazing that after all these years this has just been discovered. It does make you wonder if it is a hoax. But either way - I can see the plot of a new movie in the future.
