Did Da Vinci Predict the Future? Researcher Claims “Last Supper” Holds Date of Global Flood
Leonardo da Vinci, the iconic artist of the Renaissance, continues to inspire debate and fascination centuries after his death. Now, a Vatican researcher is claiming his masterpiece, “The Last Supper,” contains a hidden prophecy – a specific timeframe for a devastating global flood.
Sabrina Sforza Galitzia asserts she’s uncovered a mathematical and symbolic code embedded within the fresco. Her analysis centers on the painting’s central section, frequently enough referred to as the “telescope” area. According to Galitzia’s research, Da Vinci concealed facts pointing to a catastrophic flood beginning on March 21, 4006, and concluding on November 1 of the same year. She believes Da Vinci envisioned this event as a “new beginning for humanity.”
However, Galitzia’s claims are meeting resistance within the academic community. A key criticism is the lack of detailed explanation regarding how she arrived at these conclusions. This absence of methodological transparency fuels skepticism.
While the theory remains unproven, some historians note Da Vinci’s later works reveal a growing preoccupation with apocalyptic themes. Sketches depicting scenes of fiery destruction and turbulent seas suggest a fascination with the end of the world. Yet, as Martin Clayton pointed out in a BBC interview, these images may simply reflect a broader awareness of “the ephemeral nature of humanity,” rather than a concrete prediction of specific events.
Despite the intriguing nature of Galitzia’s findings,the claim that Da Vinci predicted a future global flood remains firmly in the realm of speculation until further evidence and a clear explanation of her methodology are presented.
