More details have been released on the murder of Jacques Sauniere. It is said that Sauniere was being chased through the museum by the attacker, then once he was in the Grand Gallery, pulled a painting of the wall to drop a gate, separating Sauniere from his attacker. The unknown assailant shot Sauniere through the bars of the gate. Mustering all of the life left in him, Jacques Sauniere stripped himself, drew a pentacle on his abdomin from his own blood, laid down spread eagle (almost representing another pentacle with his four limbs and head). He also wrote a messege of the floor using invisible ink. The message read:
13-3-2-21-1-1-8-5
O, Draconian devil!
Oh, lame saint!

This is very odd indeed. The pentacle is most commonly referred to as a Pagan symbol. Which, despite common thought is not devil worship, but refers to a pre-Christian symbol relating to Nature worship, specifically Masculine and Feminine. The fact that his body is in the shape of a pentacle is easy enough to understand. The best way to show the significance of a symbol is repetition. Obviously, Sauniere wanted to focus of the pentacle, which leads me to believe that there is a second meaning behind it. As far as the message goes, I have no idea what any of it could mean, we would probably need to talk to a cryptologist.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds horrible, but if there was anything I learned about my uncle, it was that everything he did had a reason behind it. Myself being a cryptologist, I have no idea about the pentacle, but I can tell you that the numbers, if you put them in increasing order, it is obviously the Fibonacci sequence. This is where any two consecutive numbers added together equals the integer following it. This is so simple; it has to have a double meaning, or another use, because my uncle would have known that even a rookie cryptologist would have deciphered that in an instant.
ReplyDeleteSauniere was more clever that I gave him credit for. I'll have to keep a keen eye of Langdon and Neveu.
