Pyramid

The Egyptian pyramids are ancient pyramid-shaped masonry structures located in Egypt.

There are 138 pyramids discovered in Egypt as of 2008.Most were built as tombs for the country's Pharaohs and their consorts during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods.

The earliest known Egyptian pyramids are found at Saqqara, northwest of Memphis. The earliest among these is the Pyramid of Djoser (constructed 2630 BCE–2611 BCE) which was built during the third dynasty. This pyramid and its surrounding complex were designed by the architect Imhotep, and are generally considered to be the world's oldest monumental structures constructed of dressed masonry.

The estimate of the number of workers to build the pyramids range from a few thousand, twenty thousand, and up to 100,000.

The most famous Egyptian pyramids are those found at Giza, on the outskirts of Cairo. Several of the Giza pyramids are counted among the largest structures ever built.

The Pyramid of Khufu at Giza is the largest Egyptian pyramid. It is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still in existence.The Great Pyramid of Giza (also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now El Giza, Egypt. Egyptologists believe that the pyramid was built as a tomb for fourth dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu (Cheops in Greek) over a 10 to 20-year period concluding around 2560 BC. Initially at 146.5 metres (481 feet), the Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years.

The Last Supper

In 1495, Leonardo Da Vinci began painting the Last Supper on the wall of the refectory (dining hall) of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy, and completed it in 1498. Leonardo was commissioned to execute the painting in the Dominican monastery of this Church by Duke of Milan, Ludovico Sforza.

The Last Supper measures 450 × 870 cm (15 feet × 29 ft) and covers an end wall of the dining hall at the monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy. The theme was a traditional one for refectories, although the room was not a refectory at the time that Leonardo painted it. The main church building had only recently been completed (in 1498), but was remodeled by Bramante, hired by Ludovico Sforza to build a Sforza family mausoleum.The painting was commissioned by Sforza to be the centerpiece of the mausoleum.

The above are the names of the apostles and have a character of its own, one of which is Simon the Zealot, one of Jesus Christ's 12 apostles, is a mystery character in the Bible. We have one tantalizing bit of information about him, which has led to ongoing debate among Bible scholars.

In some versions of the Bible (Amplified Bible), he is called Simon the Cananaean. In the King James Version and New King James Version, he is called Simon the Canaanite or Cananite. In the English Standard Version, New American Standard Bible, New International Version, and New Living Translation he is called Simon the Zealot.to confuse things further, Bible scholars argue over whether Simon was a member of the radical Zealot party or whether the term simply referred to his religious zeal. Those who take the former view think Jesus may have chosen Simon, a member of the tax-hating, Roman-hating Zealots, to counterbalance Matthew, a former tax collector and employee of the Roman empire. Those scholars say such a move by Jesus would have shown that his kingdom reaches out to people in all walks of life.

Disciple is shocked that Jesus is holding hand of Mary	Disembodied hand with knife	Hand forms a "V" symbol for femininity
Threatening hand on shoulder also forming "V"	The "V" represents femininity. Also note gown left of Jesus is pink	Mary and Jesus are holding hands

To those who say that there are no references to their relationship in the paintings of Leonardo Da Vinci, this article is dedicated. "The Last Supper" - Let us begin where the novel reveals the first clue to the mystery in Leonardo's painting "The Last Supper". First of all, there is an obvious cover-up. Be sure that the copy of the painting that you are viewing is the cleaned version with the original colors. Even the video specials on "The Da Vinci Code" show touched-up prints of the mural. The original color of Mary's robe is light pink, an obvious reference to her femininity. Some versions show her robe retouched as a red sienna-brown, which is evidence that her identity is being purposefully concealed. Mary sits at Christ's right hand. She is the one who is given that privilege.
Observe the hand positions of the disciples to the right of Christ. The hand on Mary's shoulder, as well as being a threatening gesture, forms a "V". The hand on the shoulder of the disciple behind Mary also forms a "V". This echoes the large "V" between Christ and Mary. The "V" is the expression of the feminine.
The hand holding the knife is indeed disembodied. Look at the abstract design above the disciple on the far right, it is a geometric representation of fertility, a large belly. Observe the older man with his two hands upraised, that is a gesture expressing the feminine as well. The astonished listeners to the left of Jesus use very different hand expressions to demonstrate their questioning of Christ, "Who among us would betray you Lord?!" Days later after the Resurrection, there was a similar scene related in "The Gospel of Mary". Mary is telling the disciples about secret knowledge from the Savior known only to herself. The male followers react in amazement, "Surely the Savior would not confide His hidden wisdom to a woman! Surely He would not prefer a woman to us!" The scene must have looked very much the same as the disciples reacting to Christ's words at the Last Supper - astonishment. Of course Jesus preferred his beloved Mary to His male disciples. He trusted her with his hidden wisdom. As His wife, she was the first to see Him after He had risen.

Mona lisa

The above picture can not strengthen the theory that Mona Lisa is Leonardo Da Vinci,the creator.Some people believe that Leonardo Da Vinci paint himself ,because a Monalisa picture and Leonardo Da Vinci look the same.

Mona lisa whose real name is Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a rich silk merchant in Florence, Italy, Francesco del Giocondo. Mona means MS or MADAM in modern Italian language has long been regarded as a model.

Mona Lisa is a masterpiece of Leonardo Da Vinci's painting of the 15th century. Now it is kept in the Louvre, Paris, France. Mona Lisa painting popular as a result of the painting showing art as animate. This painting was painted for 4 years but never finished after that. Therefore, there are some defects in this painting where the subject of this painting has no eyebrows and painting background looks too dull.
