Then there are several sheets of copper, embossed with Morse Code, and sandwiched between granite slabs. It's next to a petrified tree and a circular pool.

(She's cracked so many codes that Dan Brown, author of The Da Vinci Code, even named a character in that book after her.) According to her site, Kryptos contains a series of punched-out letters in a metal structure, is made up of thousands of characters, and shows four total messages. At about 12 feet tall and 20 feet long, the now-greenish copper structure offers up some 240 square feet of frustration to all of the CIA employees and codebreakers-like video game developer and cryptologist Elonka Dunin-who set eyes on it.ĭunin is a master cryptographer and runs a helpful and in-depth website all about Kryptos.

That's probably how it feels to be the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) employees who regularly pass by the infamous Kryptos sculpture in the courtyard of the bureau's headquarters in Langley, Virginia.
