10 Hidden Details You Never Noticed In Famous Paintings

We need to address the elephant in the room. Coincidentally an elephant is one of the few things NOT to be purportedly hidden in Leonardo Da Vinci's The Last Supper.

The Last Supper has been examined for secret clues by a multitude of people throughout the years, due to Da Vinci's general tendency to hide hints and codes in his various works. Lynn Pickett and Clive Prince's 1997 book, Templar Revelation: Secret Guardians Of The True Identity Of Christ, claims that the figure next to Christ is in fact Mary Magdalene and this points to a conspiracy to hide the marriage of Jesus; if this sounds familiar, yes, it's the basis for The Da Vinci Code.

In 2007 Giovanni Maria Pala, an Italian musician, composed music supposedly hidden in the piece based on the fact that the placement and number of hands and loaves of bread are positioned in such a way as to be transposed into a musical staff when read right to left, which is how Da Vinci was known to code his writings.

A Vatican researcher, Sabrina Sforza Galitzia, says she deciphered a code in the painting that there would be a 'universal flood' in 4006. We'll know in 4006 if this theory proves to be correct.
