1 square-Roman Letters for space
2 These all actually stand for the letter E. It’s a way to confuse codebreakers
3 The Copiale’s more unusual symbols denote words, not letters—in this case, “Oculist” and “society.”

That's pretty cool. Good find, L.
I've always liked Kryptos. Sure it doesn't have any of the real mystery behind it that say, the Voynich manuscript, for example, does, but it still cool, nonetheless.

Took me a while to read, but it was very fascinating and enlightening.
Illegal immigration isn't a new concept in the US. Just ask the Native Americans.

Hey, I'm not wrong. I'm just not completely right.

That was a super excellent read. Four thumbs up!!! 
Here at Intel we make processors on 12 inch wafers. And, the individual processors on the wafers are called die. And, I am employed to check these die. That is why I am the DieChecker.

Being only 250 years-old, I could imagine there being some continuation of that "society"
Just an opinion, of course.

Very interesting post, the -L-.
And cryptography is one of the MAIN reasons I am interested in the Oera Linda Book.
I think that there is some hidden message in that 19th century fabrication.
Yes, the language is Old Frisian, I can read it, and it purports to be an ancient manuscript of a unknown European civilization.
But I just feel there are messages hidden in that text.
It uses a script of 32 characters (but 2 characters are not explained).
Every page consists of 32 lines, but 2 pages are lost.
Add to that that Cornelis Over de Linden, the owner of the book, was into Freemasonry, and then....
