Secret Services & Masterpiece

This is the masterpiece that I choose to represent my blog...Kryptos. It is a sculpure realized by Jim Sanborn on four large copper plates with other elements made of red and green granite, white quartz, and petrified wood, sitting in the grounds of the CIA headquarters in Virginia. It contains a message, which hasn't been decoded yet, even if, after 20 years of study, the solution is starting to materialize, thanks also to few hints given by the author. It is divided in 4 sections, three of the four coded sections of the sculpture had been cracked (solutions) by a CIA analyst, who was estimated to have spent 400 lunch-hours pondering it with a pencil and paper.
