Decoding of the 97 last letters de KRYPTOS.
That is to say : O B K R U O X O G H U L B S O L I F B B W F L R V Q Q P R N G K S S O
T W T Q S J Q S S E K Z Z W A T JK L U D I A W I N F B N Y P V T T M Z F
P K W G D K Z X T J C D I G K U H U A U E K C A R
1st step. The code Caesar.
Recall of the 3 words comprising errors discovered in previous decodings:
IQLUSION
Q for L
UNDERGRUUND
U for O
DESPARAT-LY
A for E
E missing (-)
Q for L, U for O, A for E.
Use of the Caesar code with separation between vowels and consonants.
BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXZ
GHJKLMNPQRSTVWXZBCDF
A E I O U Y
E A Y U O I
Application of the code Caesar on the 97 letters, we obtain:
UVFMOUSUBCOGVNUGYZVVRZGMQLLKMJBFNNUP
RPLNDLNNAFTTREPDFGOXYERYJZVJIKQPPHTZKFR
BXFTSPDWXYBFOCOEOAFWEM
We know that an E is missing in the word DESPARAT-LY.
This E missing is laid out at the 5th place from the A which must become E thanks to the Caesar code above.
First of all let us apply this method to our 97 letters.
Let us seek the E; there are 4 of them:
UVFMOUSUBCOGVNUGYZVVRZGMQLLKMJBFNNUPRP
LNDLNNAFTTR-E-PDFGOXY-E-RYJZVJIKQPPHTZKFRB
XFTSPDWXYBFOCO-E-OAFW-E-M
Then let us seek the letters laid out at the 5th place starting from these four E:
(Impossibility for the last E)
UVFMOUSUBCOGVNUGYZVVRZGMQLLKMJBFNNUPRPLND
LNNAFTTR-E-PDF’G’OXY-E-RYJ’Z’VJIKQPPHTZKFRBXFT
SPDWXYBFOCO-E-OAF’W’-E-M
We obtain three letters: G Z W.
We remove them of our 97 letters, we have now 94 letters, that is to say:
UVFMOUSUBCOGVNUGYZVVRZGMQLLKMJBFNNUPRPLN
DLNNAFTTREPDFOXYERYJVJIKQPPHTZKFRBXFTSPDWX
YBFOCOEOAFEM
2d step. A providential bird.
G, Z, W, are the initials of 3 words. I found : GYRFALCON, ZAIRE,WITHIN.
These 3 words (and the followings) are the key used in the code Vigenère, KRYPTOS, that is to say :
UVFMOUSUBCOGVNUGYZVVRZGMQLLKMJBFNNUPRPLNDLNNAFTTREPDF

3d step. An eggs story.
GYRFALCON ZAIRE WITHIN BUILDING WW DOING OUT FIFTY FRESH EGGS
AND WW TOOK MANY OF THEM PRESSED IT GOD DAMN SAYS WW
Let us remove GYRFALCON and ZAIRE, it remains :
WITHIN BUILDING WW DOING OUT FIFTY FRESH EGGS
AND WW TOOK MANY OF THEM PRESSED IT GOD DAMN SAYS WW
3 errors appear:
-1-WITHIN THIS BUILDING…
-2- …WW IS DOING OUT…
-3-… OF THEM. PRESSED (IT). GOD DAMN SAYS WW.
The new text becomes:
WITHIN THIS BUILDING, WW IS DOING OUT FIFTY FRESH EGGS,
AND WW TOOK MANY OF THEM.
PRESSED.
GOD DAMN SAYS WW.
The totality of errors make up one sentence : THIS IS IT
Now the text is correct! This is it!
4th step: Blaise de Vigenère (1523-1596) is French.
BQESxTWJIDxXUBYxXEAPNTxRDYxGUNxATKBxSZOTxGLASRxJ(K)JWS
xOMHTxELJxNRRxYKEIQxAGSxUNUNEWxYXLFOxO(S)HU
The series of words without errors are :
BEESxTWEEDxRUBYxTEAPOTxRAYxGUNxSTABxSHOTxGLASSxJ(K)AWS
xOMITxELFxNORxSKEINxAGExUNUSEDxYOLKSxO(S)HM
The 2 letters too many which are put in brackets, K and S, are the initials which permit to discover the key-words.
The errors are:
QJIXXNDAKZRJHJRYQSNWXFOU
The series of key-words is: KUKLUXKLANSOGGYRELYTARDY.
Let us apply the code KRYPTOS, enciphering system discovered by Blaise de Vigenère
(French) :
Text to decipher: QJIXXNDAKZRJHJRYQSNWXFOU
English key: KUKLUXKLANSOGGYRELYTARDY
Plain French text: QUIAPUDJNSUERPZRCILNLEUN ?
French text which contains 6 errors, they are in italic:
QUI A PU DJNSUER PZRCIL NLEUN ? ( QUI A PU DENOUER PAREIL NOEUD ?)
In English: who was able to unknot such a knot ?
The 6 erroneous letters are: : JSZCLN.
The question is asked by Jim Sanborn. As if he was in front of the cryptographer.
The natural answer is, in English: IT’S YOU.
Let us apply this new key to the 6 errors:
Text to decipher: JSZCLN
English key: ITSYOU
Result : RYNIFx
The « x » recalls the series: BEESxTWEEDxRUBYx….xOHM.
At the end of this series the « x » is put before OHM.
We arrive now to the end of the deciphering of Kryptos, I invert RYNIFx, so that “x”
be before the group of letters, we have :
xFIN(YR).
FIN is “END” written in French language followed with 2 letters YR.
5th step. Easter egg.
Study of the code Morse engraved on several copperplates:
SOS
LUCID MEMORY
T IS
YOUR POSITION
SHADOW FORCES
VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE
DIGETAL
INTERPRETATU
RQ (or YR according to the direction of
reading)
First of all, we see immediately that the 2 letters Y and R, found at the end of the previous deciphering,
are found again here, written in Morse, what shows a connection between both sculptures.
Let us try to discover the mysterious meaning of these sibylline sentences.
SOS
LUCID MEMORY
Holy Bible, Luke XXII-19:”…Do this in remembrance of me”
(T IS YOUR POSITION)
SHADOW FORCES
Luke XXIII-44:’…and darkness came over the whole land…”
VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE
Luke XXIV-3:”but when they went in, they did not find the body.”
It is the Easter Day.
DIGETAL INTERPRETATU
A week later … John XX-27:” Then he said to Thomas, ”Put your finger here…”
After Easter (VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE), there are numerous errors, an E instead of I in DIGETAL,
then, all becomes complicated, here we have a U instead of ION for INTERPRETATU.
Whereas for RQ (or YR), we know that it is YR, we discovered previously the reason.
Previously we had a curious story of eggs, now we find Easter.
We guess that these two ideas lead to the Easter egg which is concealed at the time of Easter
(KRYPTOS means concealed in Greek) according to the tradition when the churches bells fly to Rome.
The egg must be discovered at the day of Easter when the bells are back from Rome.
Easter is here represented by the words: VIRTUALLY INVISIBLE.
The exact position of the egg, if concealed by Jim Sanborn would be then under the T (T IS YOUR POSITION) of VIRTUALLY.
On the internet site « Elonka’s Kryptos Page », the author displays the Kryptos Morse inscriptions on
5 columns of 3 photos. Look at the 3d photo/3d column. It is possible for someone to skip the arm under the copper plate
to reach a place below the letter T, a long line in Morse, of VIRTUALLY.
T is also an image of the Cross.
Note: On another stone, we can see a compass. Its needle shows a direction near the East.
Maybe a wink to Easter.
End of demonstration.
