Leonardo da Vinci was an Alien or possible half-breed?

OK its from a somewhat unreliable source but, who knows, I thought it was fun.______beforeitsnews/paranormal/2015/05/alien-figure-found-secretly-hidden-in-mona-lisa-painting-video-2488496.html

Apparently if you read the article Leonardo hid this figure in his famous painting. I think its kinda cute - although it does look rather modern for Leonardo's time - was it a true self portrait? Will we ever know?

sorrry I can't get the link to work. Perhaps someone else could manage it,

yea hes the dumbest guy from his planet and cant even use rendering software according to biff.

my second go at picking this up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=INtA4Oy2D70. Nope, not going to work. It doesn't appear to be recent news as I noticed a date when I googled it back to 2006.

I think Leonardo da Vinci was a man, from Vinci, in Italy. I may be wrong, hope he wasn't an alien though because then it takes away from our history right?

There's a reason you can't get your link to work.....it's a banned link.

if it's on BIN it's a crock!

I am still s'n-word'ing at this one but can't help going back to Sumer with its clay tablets and Annanaki aliens. Leonardo is somewhat late to the time frame. The writer of the original article on this did make the point that Leonardo was way before his design's time and an absolute genius across a lot of different fields. Having seen a number of his drawings and ideas, he even designed a helicopter which was amazingly accurate considering he had never seen one before.

97% of the human DNA is called "junk" DNA. Perhaps Leo had a bit of Alien in him, hmmm?

Thanks, I saw it initially on Facebook but when I googled it I got another reference. Obviously as you say its banned - from BIN, I wonder if it was/is nonsense why someone bothered to ban it and simply not have a good laugh.

Yes, it is true that Da Vinci was a master of many crafts.
One must also take into account that before the 19th century there really was no need for specialisation. People were masters in many fields, just look at Isaac Newton for example.

Da Vinci surely was one of the most incredible geniuses of modern times, no doubt.

I'm not sure where you are trying to go with this but.
Why do some people capitalize the D in Da Vinci and others not?

It depends really, I capitalise it as it is a surname, however realistically it should not be capitalised as da means of or from, hence Leonardo da Vinci is Leonardo from the city of Vinci. I am just anglicized and capitalize surnames

Hahahaha...

I think when you write his full name, As Jonjonj says its Leonardo of/from Vinci, hence Leonardo da Vinci. But when only using his surname, it seems to be Da Vinci. Its not a rule I learned in grammar though.

As I said above its really a bit of nonsense, or may be its not who knows - The actual picture is cool as far as aliens go an d well up to Da Vinci's standard.

Actually, being that he was a bastard, his full name is Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci, meaning Leonardo the son of Sir Piero of Vinci.

And just to curl the curl as they say, why would his name include the name of his father, bastard as he was? Lol indeed, the old ways were the best.

Italian custom at the time did not permit illegitimate children to take the surnames of their fathers.

Although the 'ser' (sir) denoted that at least his was a bastard from a well-off family.

Leonardo's genius lay in his keen observation of nature
His enquiry into why things worked as they did in the natural world

If he was an alien he was an alien born in Human form
Born of a woman his Mother

Actually if one were to take the name as represented, it is in fact more representative of a father taking legitimacy. di means directly related to and ser means both sir and person so, one could imagine that that title means Leonardo, son of Peter of Vinci,

As has been stated Leonardo was illegitimate a bastard
As such he received little formal education apart from the basics taught to him in his fathers house

He commented on this himself ... stating that his lack of formal education drove him to do his own thinking
This is what occurred ... He studied for himself ...

Yes at the end of the day, his legitimacy may be in question, his genius is not.
