Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome to the Upside with Jordan a dose
of good news, because it's a big world out there.
This is a history making story involving a dude who,
five hundred years after his passing, is still having an impact.
The year is fourteen ninety five and in Italy, the
Duke of Milan hires a rather well known artist to
do some castle decorating. What the Duke didn't pay for

(00:21):
was a little side job, as the artist did sketching
defensive structures based on the layout of the castle, including
secret passageways, passageways we didn't know to exist until now.
While the artist in question was one Leonardo da Vinci,
and just recently, using the latest in high tech, a
group of scientists from the Polytech University of Milan matched

(00:41):
up Leonardo's sketch to the actual castle. This passageway is
immortalized in Leonardo's drawings, but now, thanks to technology, its
existence can be confirmed. Hidden architecture designed by Da Vinci,
who continues to amaze us with his brilliance to this day.
