New secrets found in Da Vinci's Last Supper painting

70

By tedmartinsd

The news of a fresh secret being found in Leonardo Da Vinci's painting, The Last Supper, is flying around the world. Supposedly a computer analyst made a reverse image of the painting, then superimposed it on the original, and two knights and an infant appeared.

I found a blog that re-created the effect: The Shaved Ape.

Hey that's cool.

There is a great audio tour of the Da Vinc trail that takes you from Paris to London and Edinburgh and Milano. It is fun and facinating. http://www.lodingo.com/_product_20763/In_the_Foots

it is unrealistical to believe that jesus was never married or had children..think of the times he lived in and then think of his religion back then it was required for a man of his age to be married..as for the picture of the knight and infant its well known fact that in order to save money many painters in da vincis time would re use canvas often painting over other works or attempting to erase those works leaving images and layers underneath the final painting.

It wasn't painted on a canvas though. It's a wall mural in the dining room of the Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan for DaVinci's patron and his wife.

da vinci has hiden secrets in each painting of his. the one who finds out the secret, will be rewarded. This is one of the history of da vinci I found on the web. I believe Jesus has a daugter with Mary, Although its a part of a movie, but in real life bible, there is this belief.

shew. you are all toooo dumb. jesus is just a man and yet leonardo da vinci is some superhuman that can paint the last supper and hide some random symbolism in it and it's instantly proven fact. and i'm sure the majority of you believe the shroud of turin is a total hoax.

come on everyone the bible was made up by a king called constantine its not some divine book it was written by man for man and is it so hard to believe that jesus had a wife and children back in them days he would of been punished fornot i do believ most of the davinci code i know it just a book written by a man but so was the bible and the da vinci code is a bit more believable than a book that says a man walked on water and fed 5 thousand with a loaf of bread and a fish come on people were inteligent what is more believable?

Jesus could have very easily had children. But down through the centuries his blood line would encompass hundreds of people. Jesus’ blood has been diluted into insignificance in our modern society and his blood line could be anywhere in the world, of any colour, race and background.

The theories in the Da Vinci Code are interesting, and I had had similar theories before even the book was made. Man has a thirst for knowledge that can never be quenched leading us to our undoing, but is ignorance any better???

I believe we have a right to the truth, but because of Da Vinci's ingenuity, his painting technique led to THE LAST SUPPER painting to fall into ruin the very second he completed it. It will never be the same again so the answers are harder than ever to find. All we can do is look and record and hope for the best until the truth is revealed. We have but till 21/12/2012 to find it out, the truth of everything to stop doomsday.

Nostradamus for saw this and wrote it down in his quatrains. His book (whether he made them or not) shows us this. But on the last three pages he shows the book of life. On the third its pages are blank. People have taken this as the end of time, the consequences of our actions but I see it differently. The book is open half way, meaning their may be text before hand, recording the history man, but there is still half the book to go. This show that we can write our own destinies after this point. Because after we break this point, the cycle of history shall break and we can continue to the future as we have never done before.

The Mayans of Central America based their 8 cycle calendar to end on the 21/12/2012, but this could just mean that after that point history won’t repeat so cannot be for-told. No seer has seen beyond this barrier, so there may yet be hope.

Has anyone heard of Yogi Philosophy? If you ever wondered what happened to Jesus in those missing 30 years of his life look into Yogi Philosophy. He has been mentioned in the "Fourteen Lessons in Yogi Philosophy" by Yogi Ramacharaka in the "Fourth Lesson". Check it out for yourself. Peace be onto you.

I think its really interesting, I mean who knows if Da Vinci was some sort of Prophet. Either way its really neat and kind of freaky how he put all those puzzles in his work. I also think Jesus could have been married, its totally possible, but it dosen't mean he wasn't the mesiah. It was just the culture then.

Ok. Jesus did walk on water and did all the miracles the bible says. Dan Brown has a great imagination and twisted all this things to create a book about it. just a reminder: The Da Vinci Code goes under "Fiction" at the library

sushmaja -

Leonardo da Vinci was not looking for fame. He was already famous and considered a master when he created The Last Supper. He was a Christian, and would have had no idea that hundreds of years after his death people would care enough, or have the technology to look at his work this way.

well, i think that we'll all agree the templar night is extremely visible, and whereas the baby not so much it is still clear when you first find it. but if Leo did do this on purpose i think he's up there with Einstein... maybe even higher because he can paint as well as being smart, either way amazing and stunning that it took so long to find this.

sarah-ghost 23 months ago

The da Vinci code is not to be confused with the real Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo da Vinci was an extremely intelligent person with no boundaries to his curiosity and imagination. As for the issue of fame, although every artist, from Michelangelo all the way to today's artists wants fame, Idoubt it was what da Vinci was really after. He was a very elusive person, he used to write his notes in a code which could only be read in a mirror, to prevent his revolutionary ideas from being stolen.

Also, I believe that the superposition issue is subject to criticism, because it depends on what one sees, psychologically speaking. I, for example, see many small faces rather than a templar knight and a woman with a swaddled child. it also puts into doubt certain theories about da Vinci's beliefs; was he really Christian or was he a Templar Knight in hiding?

A for Jesus having a child with Mary Magdalene, who's to say he did? Who's to say he didnt? there is no proof for either theory, and many people like to believe that Jesus had a daughter simply to oppose the general belief that he was chaste to his death, ignoring reasons why such as the culture of his time and what religion demanded of him as a person living in a Jewish society. Sorry it's a long comment, but im sick of people blundering around about jesus having kids and leonardo da vinci being a bullshitter. as for sushmaja, kindly have respect for other opinions and you're the one who's rude. unless you study these things do us all a favour, make the world a better place, and do not comment on that which you do not know. Thank you

It doesn't make any sense for people to think Jesus never married. Remember, he was Jewish, and back then it was practically illegal for Jewish men NOT to be married.

illuminati,the holy grail, priory of sion, the vatican, there all fukn related LEONARDO DA VINCI was appart of the order who knew about christ and in what he did. THE CHURCH on the other hand keeps this shit a secret as JESUS is the Lord and they dont want contrevursy within the church. the Illuminatii on the other hand are people who are basicallly fucking with all of us trying to tell us that religion is basically all a lie and that the truth has beeen hidden for too fucking long. people start figuring shit out, da vincis paintings crawings everything alll linked and had something to do with what was soo this baby i DO belive its symbolism for jesus kid i believe that there is soo much shit left to be found out and fuked if im jus gonna sit here and do nothing about it

Everyone's reading wayyy too far into this, we're never gonna know the truth... I think it's cool that it's still being talked about. I love mystery and stuff! His art is fantastic and no matter what work you look at, some people will see things in it that maybe weren't planned by the artist. Unless it's plainly obvious what symbol is trying to be portrayed then... I dunno... Ha! I want something like that with my artwork! :D

Jonathan 20 months ago

I mean taking a picture and then putting a mirror image (which theyve done here) and finding suposed hidden picture is a little far fetched. i mean how and why would he have known to do that. i think there is probably more to the last supper that meets the eye but at the same time i think people are to egar to find something in it. and in doing so finding things that arnt nessasarly done on purpous

all of you who wrote blasphamies against Christ will surely inherit HELL as your place of enternal home.

all this saying about Christ are mere fictions by da vinci.. today where is he, and the name Jesus Christ is still used all over the world to do miracles,cast out demons, and even used to win souls for God.

so all you romuor mongers,wait God's judgement..

raven 18 months ago

As a christian for the last 40 years i am not a 'blasphamies'Nor do i judge others for what they belive in. As you said Nigeria God will judge me not you!

If Christ was married or not it does not take away the miracles done in his name. People will belive what they want to belive. Only God can change a persons heart not the rantings of an angrey child. And no art does not change what i belive in. Art is the view of the artist.

MIkec123 18 months ago

@Jonathan, why do ppl post comments on things they know absolutly nothing about. Far Fetched? Have you ever even read about any of da vinci's acomplishments? As a matter of fact he did know how to make Mirror images! He used lenses and light. The shroud could even be repoduced this way, you can burn images in the shape of a human figure. As for Dan brown if any one has actually read and understood the book, fist off he never states or said the da vinci code was fact. He gives you ideas about history and how they could have happend. He never clearly says if the holy grail is documents, Mary magdalin, His offspring? Also those who belive in magic please sit down before you hurt your self. The stories (man wrote) of miricals that jesus produced are medifores for life lessons not magic jesus was not a mugician. educate your self, far fetched come on your ignorance is killing me.

To all of you who said that Jesus not being married was unheard of in those days. Name one thing that you have heard of about the life of Jesus that is normal. Jesus was an exceptional being and has enriched and changed lves all over the globe. Most tales are based on true events so that means that Jesus' miracles like walking on water, turning water into wine, bringing people back from the dead must be more or less accurate. The Da Vinci Code, while being very interesting, is just a story based on theories. The gospel is spread so that people can have a chance to become Christians and accept the Word. The Church does have a bloody past, but the error of mankind does not have anything to do with the selfless act of Jesus Christ to die for our sins.

amanda- Leonardo da Vinci was not a Christian, he was a homosexual who was the Grand Master of the Priory of Sion, a very anti- Christian sect.

FOR THE EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IN THE DAVINCI CODE...

I AM AN LECTURER AN ALSO ONE OF HISTORIANS,I'M SORRY TO COVER MY IDENTITY .I HAD CONDUCTED A RESEARCH IN ITALY AND IN ALSO JERUSALEM ABOUT THESE TOPICS..BUT MY FINDINGS POINTED THAT LEONARDO DA VINCI AND MICHAELANGELLO WHO LIVED IN SAME PERIOD AND SAME PLACE,ALSO SAME PROFESSIONALS WHO HAD GREAT ENMITY TOWARDS EACH OTHER.WHEN MICHAEICHAELANGELLO WAS RECRUITED TO PAINT THE SISTANE CHAPAL, DA VINCI GOT COMPLEX AND HE HATED CATHOLIC CHURCH ALSO THE ONE WHO ABOVE THE CHURCH,THAT IS JESUS CHRIST..THEN HE MADE A SUCH PAINTING WHICH MEANT SOMETHING LIKE THESE HIDE BENEATH I..HE ALSO WAS AFRAID TO BE A RELIGIOUS OFFENDER .THAT'S WHY HE DIDN'T DARE TO EXPRESS IT PUBLICLY..HIS SKETCHES WAS ALSO SOMETHING WHICH SHOWED OPPOSITION TO CHURCH AND CHRIST... SO I CAN PROVE THAT IT WAS DA VINCI'S INSANITY..BUT ONE THING PERSISTS....IT IS THE FACT THAT JESUS CHRIST WAS NOT AN ORDINARY MAN BUT SOMEONE WHO WAS EXTRA ORDINARY...I CANT PROVE HIS DIVINITY OR ELSE BECAUSE THAT ONLY POSSES TO THE POWERS OF AFTERLIFE..........

I agree with "lame", just because some artist (admittedly probably the greatest the world has ever seen) made paintings and left little religious symbols in it, doesn't mean he knows any more about God or Jesus' divinity than us, 400 odd years later.

"The fable of Christ and his twelve apostles...is a parody of the sun and the twelve signs of the Zodiac, copied from the ancient religions of the Eastern world.... Everything told of Christ has reference to the sun. His reported resurrection is at sunrise, and that on the first day of the week; that is, on the day anciently dedicated to the sun, and from thence called Sunday..." - Thomas Paine

Nabeel Akhalwaya Motala 3 months ago

All this hype was just created by the anti-Christs. They are the knights templar and da vinci was a knights templar. The knights templar also go by the name of freemasons and together these two factions of the same entity form the illuminati. Now the illuminati know that the world is awaiting the 2nd coming of Christ (AS), and that people do not easily accept other people who call themselves prophets nowadays, so they make you believe that Christ (AS) had a baby and that his bloodline survives to this day. So that when Dajjal takes the stage, he will proclaim to be descended from this bloodline and many will fall into his trap. Be careful people...stop being puppets on a string. Wake up and see what's happening around you. The story of Christ (AS) in the Bible is false. It's a false tale, with parts stolen from the lives of Horus and Mithra. The anti-Christs will do anything in order to make you go astray. Jesus (AS) fought with the devil while here on Earth. You think the devil has disappeared since then? You don't think there are people out there who would follow Lucifer instead of following Jesus (AS)?
