I nominate Ezekiel to head the FBI’s cryptogram/hieroglyph decryption division.

Raiders of the Lost Ark (10/10) Movie CLIP - Top Secret (1981) HD
If it weren't enough that a Jewish philanthropist named Topper financed the construction of the 'replica' Ark of the Covenant (which came to rest at Mar-a-Lago for a spell), it looks like a replica of the movie prop.
It could be a double negative -- an imitation of an imitation being the real thing -- but as for the original that is "lost" in a US government warehouse (a storeroom for acronyms, and acronyms for acronyms) --
Due to the fact that there is only one way to perform this, the Atbash cipher provides no communications security, as it lacks any sort of key.So funny, because there's a key sitting right on that crate-box, by way of a cipher that provides no communications security.
A key that's no key, for those who know how to play. Otherwise it's locked up tight as a drum.
Anyone who knows Who is writing the script knows that fiction is the best place to find truth every which way. Plenty in food as well. Nobody got out of Egypt without the bones of Joseph, no key required for sustenance:
From Italian gnocchi, plural of gnocco (“dumpling”, literally “lump”), related to nocchio (“knot (in wood)”), a borrowing from Lombardic knohha (“knuckle, bone, knot”), from Proto-Germanic *knukô (“bone”), *kneukaz (“tuber, knuckle”), from Proto-Indo-European *gnew- (“knot, bundle”). Cognate with Middle High German knoche (“bone, knot”) (modern German Knochen), Middle Dutch knoke (“knuckle, knob, knot”), Swedish knoge (“knuckle”). More at knuckle.It looks dumb so people can be free to mock and move along, but the root of tzaphon ("north") is inherent in Joseph's Egyptian name. It's the realm of the hidden going back to ancient times, being the place... where the Sun doesn't shine. 🤔 🐎
Here's a simple cross-reference list, to ciphers and related words.
צָפְנַת f.n. something hidden, secret. [From צָפְנַת פַּעְנֵחַ, ‘Zaphenath Paneah’, the Egyptian name of Joseph (Gen. 41:45). The word צָפְנַת is supposed to be a derivative of צפן ᴵ (= to hide). See פענח.]
Midnight oil. It's not sold in stores and we're coming up to the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's Midnight Ride, and one of the five ingredients for the anointing oil remains a big mystery, 250 shekels of "kaneh bosem". A popular theory is that it's wacky weed. Those scholars stumbled over something, just not in the way they think.

But back to the very beginning of the Midnight Ride. Across the street from Paul Revere's house is a big sign on the wall along Rachel Revere Square, the place named for his wife, whose name traces back to Joseph's mother, aka "the mother of all Israel". The 12 tribes, as it were.
The address of the square is 210 North Street, not to be confused with North Square (210 is the number of years of Egyptian bondage. The reverse of 210 is 12.):
WELCOME TO THE NORTH END
WHERE ITALIANS TRACE THEIR ROOTS
The sign directs to the Sacred Heart Italian Church at 12 North Square.
I hadn't been to that map in a very long time. I hadn't previously noticed that sharing the address is
Dodici Social Club,
A place named for its address at minimum, but how often do I ever happen upon the phrase "social club"? Not since I'd found Zeke's Social Club, which had come to mind earlier today.
It's all in the timing. Ask a comedian.
Mysterious square structure spotted on Mars branded 'wild’ has space fanatics completely baffled.
