people say the Da Vinci Code is a story

New "Last Supper" theory crashes Leonardo Web sites

MILAN (Reuters) - A new theory that Leonardo's "Last Supper" might hide within it a depiction of Christ blessing the bread and wine has triggered so much interest that Web sites connected to the picture have crashed.

The famous fresco is already the focus of mythical speculation after author Dan Brown based his "The Da Vinci Code" book around the painting, arguing in the novel that Jesus married his follower, Mary Magdelene, and fathered a child.

Now Slavisa Pesci, an information technologist and amateur scholar, says superimposing the "Last Supper" with its mirror-image throws up another picture containing a figure who looks like a Templar knight and another holding a small baby.

"I came across it by accident, from some of the details you can infer that we are not talking about chance but about a precise calculation," Pesci told journalists when he unveiled the theory earlier this week.

Websites Consultingweb.it - Registrazione Domini Internet, Consultingweb.it - Registrazione Domini Internet, www.cenacolo.biz and www.leonardo2007.com had 15 million hits on Thursday morning alone, organizers said, adding they were trying to provide a more powerful server for the sites.

In the superimposed version, a figure on Christ's left appears to be cradling a baby in its arms, Pesci said, but he made no suggestion this could be Christ's child.

Judas, whose imminent betrayal of Christ is the force breaking the right-hand line of the original fresco, appears in an empty space on the left in the reverse image version.

And Pesci also suggests that the superimposed version shows a goblet before Christ and illustrates when Christ blessed bread and wine at a supper with his disciples for the first Eucharist.

The original Da Vinci depicts Christ when he predicts that one among them will betray him.

he knew which one would betray him he didn't predict

I believe Jesus did not have any offspring and that magdelene was just an associate
she spoke with Jesus but Jesus had his mission and his prophecies

Yellowcake Jesus

Often sly people inject idiotic theories into public debate knowing that there are many who will say, wait a minute this is real. In the case of Jesus's kid...somewhere in Europe a male descendant of Jesus is alive and waiting to lead Europe in the war of the saints. Goebbels would be in hysterics.

War of the saints?

Is this 666 stuff or what?

DaVinci painted the Last Supper from conjecture, not historical fact. The actual Last Supper may have looked much different then its depiction in the painting.

You're basing your fantasy on a work of fiction.

I might believe this if someone could actually show me the superimposed image... I'm willing to bet it's bullshit though.

Yeah, I know right? All of the links are still "crashed". Just show me the pic and explain what "is supposed to be going on."

I wish my computer wasn't so much of a piece of virus ridden shit that I could still run photoshop. I could flip, and super impose it easily.

Alright. Here is a very rough version of the superimposed images.

Look at either end of the table. The two guys look a little bit like Knights... nothing fascinating but kind of weird. The guy two seats away from Jeebus kind of looks like he's holding a kid. And I suppose that red blotch in front of Mr. Christ is supposed to resemble the "holy grail". This is hardly groundbreaking, but maybe things will become more clear when the links to the cleaner image are back up.

I found the histories about Jesus in the world.
Surely they have imagin too much, and far from the truth!
Something imaging as themselves! Because imaging is in his mind and his desire, and very far the science also. I saw realy carefuly the story of the Da Vinci Code and Last Supper, but these have a lot of mistakes.
So I found lot of humors of Jes.. , and now, I represent here as like:
1) The others found his family(Maris Josep, Jesus...child/tombes) in Israel.
2) In Japane case, 2000years ago, Jesus came in Japan, and married with japonaise and had many children and died very old, so now they realy have the village and tombe !
3) Also, in mormon, Jesus came to America near the mountain of Rocky, he lived in the foret and wrote the bilble on the stones, and died there.
Before 2 centuries, one American found the stones, people cannot read it sauf one person.
4) And in Africa, he became in Africa and married with the black women, had the black child, lived and died there, so they have many scupltures.
5) In France, Jesus came in France with his wife and had many children, became family royal, and died, there are the tombes, and this is secrete.
6) In England, he lived and died there, they have the tombe in England.
and he wrote the many books in the cave underground, the women is white.
7) The other tombe is in the musium in Louvre in Paris.
8) The other tombes are in the une village in France.

If all the people say true, and not a lie, what happen all the bazzar?
Nonsence! Something wrong!

5. Save.....

..........and there's your image.
HAH! exactly.... totally agree...

A work of fiction based on a work of fiction at that. (Dan Brown + Da Vinci...the Bible's debatable )

Wiki has a picture of the altered painting...perhaps your imagination will work better on that version. (The superimposed mirror image is more transparent.)
