LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Visionary historian Scott Lund says the mountain landscape of the Mona Lisa is really a disguised representation of the Milky Way galaxy. Amazingly, Da Vinci apparently depicted the two essential coordinates that define both the galaxy's center, and the polar orientation it revolves around. Pictorial evidence shows Da Vinci painted a craggy rock formation on the painting's left-side horizon in order to match the peculiar shape of the “Dark Riff” located at the galaxy's bulging hub. The “Dark Riff” also figured prominently in the 26,000-year passage of the Sun that signaled the so-called “end” of the Mayan calendar in 2012.
Lund's astrological interpretation is strongly supported on the right side of the painting by a lakeside mountain that apparently represents the small constellation which marks the top of the galaxy's perpendicular axis, or “North Galactic Pole.” The constellation, known as Coma Berenices, also forms the small grouping of stars seen as the tail of Leo the Lion. Lund believes the “lion's tail” was adopted by Leo-nardo to use as his own celestial signature for the painting.
Scott Lund's findings are part of his corpus of supporting evidence presented as the "Mona Lisa Code." In 2011, Lund demonstrated that the Mona Lisa depicted a precise survey line that stretched 29.5 kilometers from the Vatican to Lake Nemi outside Rome. "It is now apparent that the painting depicts a second survey line that stretches from the center of our galaxy,” says Lund. “This follows the Hermetic philosophical maxim: 'As Above, So Below,' connecting the stars and their patterns directly with Earth and its geography.”
On October 15, 2013, Lund presented self-evident visual proof that the Mona Lisa personified the Tempietto of Bramante, which was built in the path of Da Vinci's land survey. The Mona Lisa's armrest was shown to be obviously copied from the ornamental parapet of the Tempietto's balcony, while detail behind the female figure clearly matches the chapel's pillars and foundation. On November 30, Lund further revealed that the rectangular shape of the Mona Lisa exactly fits the essential form of the Tempietto in perspective.
Lund asserts that the Tempietto is directly related to the galactic symbolism. "The Mona Lisa Code was founded on the theory that Da Vinci expressed both the celestial and earthly realms in his painting, and the Tempietto was built to symbolize the same type of duality," says Lund. He theorizes that the upper and lower portions of the Tempietto represent the celestial and earthly sides of the human soul, following the Christian-Islamic religious doctrine known as the "Two Faces of the Soul."
"It is incredible that the Mona Lisa has kept its galactic secrets for 500 years, even though the immense number of stars in our galaxy approximates the number of people who have actually seen its image," says Lund. A revised and updated version of his book, “The Mona Lisa Code,” is now being offered as a Scholar's Edition for academic critique.
