Unsolved Deepdive; Enigmas, the code of the Shurgborough Inscription

The What: In Staffordshire, England there is a manor house wit a code that has remained unsolved since it was written in 1748. The image looks like this:

   O.U.O.S.V.A.V.V 

D                             M.

Though a few have believed to have solved the code, from what I have seen, none have been able to crack the D and the M. They also have not taken into account the . in between each letter. (I was not able to translate it onto this blog, but the . is actually directly centered between each letter, so like a period, but moved up higher. 

My Thoughts: When looking at the monument this code is written on, there appears to be a gap below the code. Many have thought that this code is a phrase in Latin. It think it is a phrase that requires a response. Meaning, when you crack the code, you will come up with a phrase that can be put back into the formula of the code. The image would then end up looking like a simi-reflection. 


...Stay Tuned...
