Mirrored Divinity

Leonardo Da Vinci is considered a genius in the art movement. He was not only a painter, but a sculptor, architect and inventor. It is said that he was part of a more 'obscure' movement, and by this I mean 'underground'.

All his annotations are written from right to left (contrary to the usual western writing of Left to Right), thought to be developed for efficiency for a left-handed Leonardo. This writing style can be deciphered by putting a mirror and reading the mirrored image.

This is thought to be the key to that movement. A movement that hid their beliefs in sacred paintings from a vengeful Vatican. There's a book that explains this movement and the discoveries they have made.
