Forgot about this, but did this guy remind anyone else of True Adonis?
nope. Other than he seems like a gomer who is hard to believe.
I gotta thank for posting this thread. It renewed my interest in this and I've spent the last several days just researching crap related to this again. Very interesting topic with some of the most complex and intentionally placed puzzles ever. There is something very important here and it sure would be fun and interesting to solve it.
Check out the shit on Nicolas Poussin's
Et in Arcadia Ego which is covered in the above documentary.
But check out a letter that was sent after a visit with Poussin in 1656:
In 1656 while living in Rome, Poussin received a visit from the Abbé Louis Fouquet, the brother of Nicolas Fouquet, superintendent of finances to King Louis XIV of France. From here the Abbé sent a letter to his brother describing his meeting with Poussin. In this letter he makes the following statement:
‘He and I discussed certain things, which I shall with ease be able to explain to you in detail – things that will give you, through Monsieur Poussin, advantages which even kings would have great pains to draw from him, and which, according to him, it is possible that nobody else will ever be able to rediscover in the centuries to come. And, what is more, these are things so difficult to discover that nothing now on this earth can prove of better fortune nor be their equal.’I found the original text for this recorded by historian Anatole de Montaiglon in 1862 but it's in french and the online translators are just mangling it lol... I was hoping to read the whole thing.
I've also found a symbol in Poussin's painting that seem to be repeated in several of his paintings but i can not find any reference to this sign or symbol anywhere.
Check out this thing with the Shugborough inscription under a monument of Poussin's painting
in reverse. This is something that historians researchers and academians have been trying to figure out for a long ass time and it's not solved. I'm sure it has something to do with this whole thing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shugborough_House_inscriptionThere's a shit load of fun to be had with this fucking thing. Largest puzzle I've ever seen.
Some of the stuff is said to be proven a hoax but I'm not so sure it's hoax. It's starting to look to me like some people have hoaxed real things to get them into the public arena.
fun shit.
