    USC's Professor Kevin Knight is part of an international team that finally cracked the "Copiale Cipher," a strange, 105-page message handwritten in abstract symbols and Latin letters revealing the rituals and political leanings of a 18th-century secret society in Germany. Knight, a computer scientist at the USC Information Sciences Institute, is now targeting other famous unsolved codes, such as the last section of "Kryptos," an encrypted message carved into a granite sculpture on the grounds of the CIA headquarters.

    This man has the calmest voice I've ever heard. His voice and his mode of speech convey enthusiasm about the subject, while at the same time maintains a completely relaxed feeling, as if we are listening to an authentic Guru, who teaches us how to perform meditation.

    I would LOVE to see his work being used to decipher Ancient Egyptian texts. Although much work has been done in that area, there is still so much that we don't know - I feel he would add greatly. Well done Kevin Knight, & thank to the USC for uploading :)

    A.E Waite already explained the cipher back in the early 1900's, and it's took the quackademics this long to catch up. You can't beat progress...

      Are you not mistaking it for the Golden Dawn cypher?

    They could exist or they could not. You will never go out from the paradox.

    ....That's correct, i don't know, but so many people claim they exist, so like everything else, the law-of-averages come into play doesn't it. There has to be some truth in it. I strongly believe they do exist.

    Very interesting! Great video.
    I wish he would have provided the actual NAME of the Secret Society from which this text originated - unless they don't know?

  • @pikkutuhma
    @pikkutuhma Před 12 lety

    I`m a little bit sceptical about this news as hardly any information about the manuscript seems to be available: where is the original manuscript, what is its history (provenance), where is the deciphered original text published, only its translation into English seems to be available and so on...

    Why is no one looking into the Library of Timbuktu? Yes it’s most definitely Arabic language but this could probably help open up the doors of our history also could help solve things that have been hidden in the past...

    The Scottish Rectified Rite or Chevaliers Bienfaisants de la Cité-Sainte (CBCS). This was originally a Masonic rite, a reformed variant of the Rite of Strict Observance which, in its highest degrees, uses Masonic-type rituals to demonstrate the philosophy which underlies both Martinism and the practices of the Elus-Cohens.

    this seems to be the origin of the document

    @ShadesofScorpius They just discovered this like, a month ago or something right? I think they need a little more time to look into it to find out who it is for... But yeah, I'm eager to see who's it is too, if they find out.

    The transcript has to do with freemasons and knights templar I think--weird re:\this guys name... This was mentioned on a tv show on the history channel, America Unearthed? It has various initiations and stuff like that. But they only showed about half of one page of the actual manuscript.

      tomchii A secret society known as the Oculists. Although some may deny it, they are related to the ideals of Freemasonry. Trust me......this is true

    So fucking fascinating. Here's an article written by Wired about the whole process of how the deciphering came to fruition: wired[dot]com/dangerroom/2012/11/ff-the-manuscript/

    • @rickh3714
      @rickh3714 Před 5 lety

      Not to my knowledge. He appeared on the History channel program about same I think.. Click on the round abstract humanoid Icon to see my recent decryption of the Riverside Confession letter hidden message. Conventional coding methodology unconventionally applied. The hidden for 50 yrs plus transcript has a possible 3 character nickname at the end that may help confirm Zodiac's name. Thanks.

    They found the code was just a bunch of BS

  • @GigawingsVideo
    @GigawingsVideo Před 10 lety

    Yep, so your statement saying that they are true while I'm saying they are true but also false. So in the end it can be considered a false then. So I'm actually saying the truth afterall. But other people say it's true then we're both wrong. However you can always say it's true while I'm saying that it's wrong and so on and so on.
    I think we just stumbled upon truth paradox. To wit, there's no answer, just an abstract absurdity.
