Linear A is one of two linear scripts used in ancient Crete (a third script is Cretan Hieroglyphs). They were discovered and named by Arthur Evans. Linear B was deciphered in 1952 by Michael Ventris and was used to write Mycenaean Greek. Linear A is far from being totally deciphered but it is partially understood and it may be read through Linear B values. Though the two scripts share many of the same symbols, using the syllables associated with Linear B in Linear A writings produces words that are unrelated to any known language.
The disc of Phaistos is the most important example of hieroglyphic inscription from Crete and was discovered in 1903 in a small room near the depositories of the “archive chamber”, in the north - east apartments of the palace, together with a Linear A tablet and pottery dated to the beginning of the Neo-palatial period (1700- 1600 B.C.). Both surfaces of this clay disc are covered with hieroglyphs arranged in a spiral zone, impressed on the clay when it was damp. The signs make up groups divided from each other by vertical lines, and each of these groups should represent a word. Forty five different types of signs have been distinguished, of which a few can be identified with the hieroglyphs in use in the Proto- palatial period.
The Shepherd’s Monument at Shugborough Hall carries a relief (pictured above) that shows a woman watching three shepherds pointing to a tomb. On the tomb is depicted the Latin text “Et in arcadia ego” (”I am also in Arcadia” or “I am even in Arcadia”). The relief is based on a painting by the French artist Nicholas Poussin, known itself as Et in Arcadia ego, but the relief has a number of modifications — most noticeably that it is reversed horizontally. Another difference is a change in which letter of the tomb a shepherd is pointing at. In the painting the letter R in ARCADIA is being pointed to. The finger in the sculpture is broken, but was pointing to the N in IN. The sculpture also adds an extra sarcophagus to the scene, placed on top of the one with the Latin phrase. Below the image of the monument are the following letters:
D O.U.O.S.V.A.V.V. MFor adherents of the modern Grail-conspiracy legend, the inscription is alleged to hold a clue to the location of the Holy Grail.
In 1933, seven gold bars were allegedly issued to a General Wang in Shanghai, China. These gold bars appear to represent metal certificates related to a bank deposit with a U.S. Bank. The gold bars themselves have pictures, Chinese writing, some form of script writing, and cryptograms in latin letters. Not surprisingly, there is a dispute concerning the validity of the claim for the deposit. It may help to resolve the dispute if someone can decipher the cryptograms on the bars. Nobody has yet put for the a theory as to their meaning. The Chinese writing has been translated, and discusses a transaction in excess of $300,000,000.
In 1885, a small pamphlet was published in Virginia containing a story and three encrypted messages. According to the pamphlet, around 1820 a man named Beale buried two wagons-full of treasure at a secret location in Bedford County, Virginia. He then left a small locked box with a local innkeeper, and left town, never to be seen again. The pamphlet went on to state that the innkeeper, after having not heard from Beale for many years, opened the box and discovered encrypted messages. Never able to read them, he eventually passed them along to a young friend shortly before the innkeeper’s death in 1863. According to the pamphlet, the friend spent the next 20 years trying to decrypt the messages, solving only one which detailed the tons of gold, silver and jewels that were buried, along with a general location. The still unsolved messages supposedly give exact directions, and a list of who the treasure belongs to.
At least 400 years old, this is a 232-page illuminated manuscript entirely written in a secret script. It is filled with copious drawings of unidentified plants, herbal recipes of some sort, astrological diagrams, and many small human figures in strange plumbing-like contraptions. The script is unlike anything else in existence, but is written in a confident style, seemingly by someone who was very comfortable with it. In 2004 there were some compelling arguments which described a technique that would seemingly prove that the manuscript was a hoax, but to date, none of the described techniques have been able to replicate a single section of the Manuscript, so speculations continue.
Probably Elgar’s most popular work is his ‘Enigma’ Variations which, apart from its undoubted musical merit, still tantalises the musical detectives with the hidden ’secrets’ which Elgar cleverly wove into the fabric of the score. But Elgar, who was fascinated by codes, ciphers, riddles and other forms of puzzles, has left us another mystery - the ‘Dorabella’ cipher (pictured above). One hundred and ten years ago - to be precise, on the 14 July 1897 - Elgar sent a letter to a young friend, Miss Dora Penny, the 22 year-old daughter of the Rev. Alfred Penny, Rector of St Peter’s, Wolverhampton. The unusual feature of the letter was that it was in a cipher which, a century later, still presents a challenge. There have been a couple of attempts at solving it but neither of these seem entirely satisfactory.

The evolution of sneaker stores in Romania, in general, has grown to be a more sophisticated entity. What are some of the things you can find at Adidasi - Haine ? Adidas, Bobbito’s quick strikes, All-Star Af1’s, Crocs, Nike, Supremes, Air Max’s, A variety of different packs including the back to school, anything supreme or premium, Air Jordan, just come in and check it out.
Vertu Ascent Ferrari
To celebrate Ferrari's 60 th anniversary, Vertu (division of Nokia) and Ferrari has partnered together to create the special edition Vertu Ascent Ferrari 60 phone
which would retail in Nokia stores in London, Paris, Hong Kong and Singapore for a whopping price of 18000 E. We found it at Telefoane and Telefoane Mobile with a price tag of 5750E.. Ah, let's talk about the leather, shall we? Apparently it's been tested against lipstick and petrol. Why ? Anyway you can find out more about this amazing cell phone on PhoneOne
Adidas has just recently teamed up with one of the world famous chinese pianist Lang Lang, to work on a specially designed Adidas Gazelle. The Lang Lang Adidas Gazelle includes influences by Lang Lang and sports a sleek Black and Gold color-way. The shoe looks somewhat promising, In addition, the Adidas Lang Lang Gazelle will be releasing in limited quantities in June 2008 at select retailers like Adidasi Nike and Haine D&G.
The Nina Ricci show in 1'st of march was the best, silky pants, velvet frocks, vintage-inspired beaded embellishment and long train accents. The show inspire a very romantic mood despite a few sharp-shouldered jackets that appeared on the scene. Here si a "trend alert": matchy match is back. Think same colour frock and footwear. If you are a fashion victim here are "must haves": short gloves with brooch accent and silk pleated harem pants witch you can see at Haine Gucci or Adidasi Reebok. The hair and makeup message had an ethereal/Victorian tingle with crimped sections of loosely styled locks, overall everything was fabulous.

I just solved them all and they pretty much say nothing important. You can skip solving them yourself.
Indeed. Having just solved all ten ciphers myself, I concur that they contain nothing of real importance. Not unless you consider endless repetition of the phrase "Clint Laskowski is a posturing nurdfuttock" to be particularly important.
Zing! You really got me with that one. No wonder I solved them before you did.
Hi - these mysteries are great - just had a good trip imagining these guys living their lives within their codes and crypts.
but f... it, the first posts in this discussion are better!
To solve Kryptos- you need to fold the form in upon itself.
Granted, you credit Wikipedia at the end of your post, but this is a somewhat disingenuous cover for wholesale cutting and pasting.
For example, see:

Uhrm...like the last page of Mad magazine?
What was so dern' hard about solving them... other than the Cretian one but it WAS written for Cretins.

The Shugborough hall cipher reads:
"Jesus (As Deity) Defy".
(according to some)
Actually, #3, the Phaistos Disk, has been deciphered for a number of decades, by Dr. Barry Fell, who was clearly outside the "Establishment." He was a brilliant epigrapher and linguist (and, to the chagrin of the mainstream scientific community, a cutting-edge Diffusionist, which is why the scientific community totally rejected his decipherment).
The disk actually contains language elements inidicatng cross-cultural connections between the people of Crete and those of Polynesia. Yep, that's right. There were people back then going all over the world, which is what Diffusionists believe . It contains instructions on how to properly do up a sacrifice for some such reason or other. I forget the details.
Not trying to start any flames here between Diffusionists/non-Defusionists. Just trying to give others out there some idea of what the Phaistos disk may actually say.
For anyone interested, here's a link to its decipherment:
http://www.equinox-project.com/index-p.htm
There are hundreds of alleged decipherments of the Phaistos Disk. However, with so few examples of Linear A surviving, none of them can be confirmed.
I tried for a little while, but I couldn't solve any of them.
Ah well, back to navel topography.
Several of these codes actually cancel each other out leaving one simple word to live on for the ages..."ABIDE."
C'est dingue le nombre de prétentieux qu'il y a sur ce site.
Vous n'avez pas honte d'être aussi imbus de vous-même et fats...
D'autant que cette jouissance d'être au dessus des minables incapables que nous sommes ne doit valoir que derrière votre ordinateur !!!
Car je suppose qu'un sérieux complexe d'infériorité vous pousse à n'avoir que ce recours pour vous faire valoir...
C'est moche de n'avoir pas le sentiment d'être quelqu'un...
Ca fait quoi?
Une chose à retenir : la véritable intelligence est celle qui permet de savoir que l'on ne sait pas, le reste n'est qu'une sous-culture à peine digne d'un calculateur moyen.
How do we know that some of these ciphers aren't just pure gibberish intended to waste multiple person-years of the brainpower of genius-level individuals that could otherwise be spent on useful endeavors. I think the Voynich manuscript is the primary candidate for this conjecture.
The ancient ciphers are very likely legitimate. Solving them with no context would be like solving an alien language if we ever found one. A "Rosetta Stone" makes all the difference!
And if there is a missing letter from Kryptos, what is the letter and what is its position?
