More "Da Vinci Code" stuff ?
Your local "texting" teens might crack the code :)

Hmmmm... just a few letters isn't a lot to go on. If I had paid more attention in my Latin classes, I might have a go at it myself.

"Out of your own sweet vale Alicia vanish vanity 'twixt deity and man"

Not bad.

All I know...
Arcadia = an ancient pastoral district of the central Peloponnesus, Greece; hence, any place of rural peace and simplicity.

Heads up, blam. This may be of interest to ya.

I say the "D" and "M" at either end represent 500 and 1000 respectively (as Roman Numerals).

[Chu Gary]

I wonder if they have given the "Puzzle Palace" a shot at this?

Why are they so certain that the letters mean anything? It doesn't generally make sense to put a random string of numbers into either a painting or an engraving, true. But you never forget on whose grave the letters belong if people stop to puzzle over it.

In other words, a grave marks the place. The name tells you who is interred there. The mystery keeps their memory alive, whether there's really anything behind it or not.

Hm.....

I'm going to go carve A.Y.B.A.B.T.U. on a rock off in the middle of nowhere, just on the chance I may annoy the hell out of someone 250 years from now.

Revenge of the "one-time pad"...I can hear the cryptographers' heads exploding even now! :)

Do you owe S.V. a V.V., M?

[neutrino]

This is easy.

Daily
Orations
Unite
Old
Sage
Veterans
Always
Visiting
Venues
Marvelous

Or, in other words, daily visits help keep wise old veterans united in visiting good places.

Just kidding....

I think it says:
