PART ONE
THE FACE BEHIND THE MASK OF THE APOCALYPSE
Common to all ciphers through time, in principle all, is that they are solved. I cannot think of a single cipher before 1950 that is not resolved except one. A cryptographic cipher that puzzled analysts through history is the enigmatic cipher known as the Codex Enigma-cipher, which appeared in the late 1500s in a paper in Rome. One of the reasons, at least what I think, is that only one of the two fragments of the cipher has been known. Below is an excerpt of the cipher from the front of the pamphlet Reproba informatio ab Deus - occultus venalicium in praedestino vicis versus (Rome, 1593) printed on behalf of the esoteric society Thoth´s Brotherhood. According to legend, the cipher contains the path to the mythical The Theatre of the Five Gates. The temple is said, according to the myth, to be resting place for the Egyptian Thoth´s holy book. No one has managed to solve the cipher in over 400 years.
