A date for your diary: Leonardo da Vinci predicted that the world would end on November 1, 4006, according to a Vatican researcher.
Sabrina Sforza Galitzia said the clues were to be found in da Vincis Last Supper mural. The central half-moon window, or lunette, above his painting of Christ with his disciples before the Crucifixion contains a mathematical and astrological puzzle which she has deciphered, she said.
She claimed to have worked out that da Vinci foresaw the end of the world in a universal flood which would begin on March 21, 4006 and end on November 1 the same year. Documents showed that he believed that this would mark a new start for humanity, Ms Sforza Galitzia said.

Well DaVinci’s “Last Supper” was painted about 90 years before the adoption of the Gregorian Calendar, so is that November 1 using the older Julian date, or the newer date? Or was the new calendar something DaVinci didn’t predict?

Great. Now that this is out, the Atomic Ayatollahs will try to prove Da Vinci wrong.

The flood will probably be due to Global Warming and the melting of all the ice in Greenland and Antarctica!

Was this an infallible pronouncement ?

It will probably take us that long to pay off Obama’s debt.

Of course that was his dinner order so he could keep working on the painting.

Nonsense. Anyone who has studied DaVinci knows he wrote everything backward, right to left, so figure out the calculations and reverse them. My calculations show the new start for humanity was really 6004 years ago.

Dang. Another 1996 years of liberal crapola.

Many researchers put the end date at October 6, 3089, after extensive studies of
this velvet painting of Charles Nelson Reilly.
