Turns out, Leonardo da Vinci wasn’t just a genius in painting—he was also a master of secret tunnels. 🏰🔍
A recent discovery in Milan’s Sforza Castle revealed hidden passageways that had been lost to history—until a 500-year-old da Vinci sketch led researchers straight to them! National Treasure vibes, right? 🤯
Back in 1495, the lord of Milan commissioned da Vinci to decorate the castle. Around the same time, he sketched mysterious defensive structures, including passageways that no one knew existed—until now. Using ground-penetrating radar and laser scanning, a team from the Polytechnic University of Milan confirmed that da Vinci’s drawings were more than just creative imagination.
“These tunnels have been the subject of myths and speculation for centuries,” the university shared in a press release. “Now, thanks to technology, we can finally confirm their existence.”
Even cooler? Experts believe this is just the beginning of uncovering hidden secrets beneath Sforza Castle. So, if da Vinci left behind one hidden tunnel, who knows what else might be waiting to be discovered? 🕵️♂️✨
