The young Da Vinci's face is unearthed.
I was watching the news yesterday on one of the Iraqi channels, the announcer talked about discovering a self portrait of Leonardo Da Vinci. I ran to my laptop and googled it, and here is an expert of what I found:
An Italian science journalist has discovered what is believed to be a self portrait of Leonardo Da Vinci hidden in one of his most famous manuscripts.
Piero Angela stumbled across the faint image as he thumbed through the Renaissance master’s Codex on the Flight of Birds.
Close examination of the manuscript, written between 1490 and 1505, revealed the outline of a face hidden underneath the ink handwriting.
A nose, eyes, lips and beard can clearly be seen on the Codex, which is kept in the Royal Library in Turin. Experts believe it is a self-portrait of Da Vinci as a young man.
I attached the new discovered picture along with the old one. Da Vinci is still a mystery to discover.

HE is indeed a mystery to many, and a fascination to many scientists and writers alike. I like the debate on "The Davinci Code" book (not the movie) on his personality between the two main characters.
Hi Max,
You are right...I like every thing regarding Da Vinci's Mystery. As I expect there will be some discoveries in the future as well :)
How have you been?
It is amazing that a piece of paper 500 years old looks as good as that. That is as amazing as Da Vinci himself!

Where is Marshmallow? Reunited with her husband in the US? Happy Easter, where ever you are Marsh...
It would make me very happy to learn that she is reunited with her husband. The processing of visas is so slow and she had applied some time ago. I wish her sister would post a comment to let us know.
