a better depiction of how i decloaked the detail. I like this orientation as a starting point to figure out the scene Leo put here. What secret knowledge is here?
Poussin Landscape with Polyphemus. flipped vertically, a good alignment with north Brittany coastline notch emerges. even the notch right corner is lower than left on both, Mont Saint Michel. St. Brieux is in left corner, St. Malo between the two. Three saints in a line. Three pyramids in a line. Three belt stars in a line. curious?
i posted the gold area and the symbol awhile ago. I suspect it is a map, so i overlaid it on google earth. The coastline alignment looks good to me! I zoomed in on google earth to a megalithic site near St. Just, France. I did not know megaliths were in France.
So, DaVinci marked an ancient megalithic site in France with a Cypriot syllabary symbol with the context of a location, in the Isleworth Mona Lisa? Why?
I reached out to the site museum and awaiting a reply.
the other side of the eML, flipped vertical. Chasing the lines and shading i came up with bottom left. looks like Nile on left, complete with Luxor bend, Med coast on top, with a very distinct X that I circled. X marks the spot? Petra! rabbit hole?
