History knows many examples when the works of scientists are hundreds or even thousands of years ahead of their time. In medieval works, there are descriptions of jet planes and time travel. So, for example, there is a mention of a certain machine of the future, which was designed by Nostradamus. It is known that Nostradamus carried out his prophecies not entirely with the help of astrology, but with the help of a special machine, the secret of which he read out in medieval Arabic manuscripts.
Leonadro da Vinci - someone called him a genius, someone called a superman. Some have argued that the artist practices black magic - otherwise how to explain that he was ahead of his time by several centuries? Someone or something seemed to be dictating to him information about upcoming events. The artist encrypted his prophecies in the form of riddles, and wrote the texts of mysterious puzzles from right to left - in a mirror image.
Scientists from all over the world have been fighting over the secret of the famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci "La Gioconda" for decades. Where is her gaze directed? Everyone who finds himself in front of the canvas, no matter at what angle they stand, assures that Mona Lisa is looking at him.
In December 2011, American scientists made an unexpected discovery. With the help of ordinary mirrors, they studied this and several other paintings by Leonardo da Vinci. All the artist's canvases were united by one feature - the heroes depicted on them looked as if into emptiness. But the researchers found out that the gaze of the heroes is fixed on some invisible object.
Moving mirrors over the surface of the painting, the researchers were looking for a clue to the secret of the great artist's paintings. The work on each painting took several months, and at the end of each experiment the scientists expected the same shocking result - a fragment of the image, reflected in the mirror, formed a kind of mysterious figure.
The researchers could not believe their eyes - Mona Lisa is not looking into emptiness, but at some mysterious creature in a mask. The same image is repeated in the well-known study with John the Baptist. A strange face, the features of which coincide with amazing accuracy, are encrypted in several dozen paintings by the great artist. And if you look closely, it is exactly like the modern description of alien aliens.

Leonardo da Vinci believed that a mirror was a way to hide information and in practice it was one of the first ciphers that were ever invented. What secret code was Da Vinci trying to convey, to whom was this message addressed, and why is the clue hidden in the mirror image?
“And an ominous feathered race will fly through the air. They will attack people and beasts and feed on them with a great cry. They will fill their womb with their scarlet blood …”. Researchers are sure - in such an allegorical way the artist spoke about the creation of aircraft. But the most important thing is that scientists were able to decipher the mysterious messages of Leonardo da Vinci quite recently, before that his records seemed to be nothing more than a chaotic set of letters.
The key to solving the artist's secret turned out to be simple, like everything ingenious - an ordinary mirror. He wrote his notes in a strange handwriting and for a long time could not understand how it could be read, until one day someone realized that if a mirror was placed over a page of the manuscript, then in the mirror this cipher would be presented in the form of a completely understandable alphabet.
