According to the Daily Mail on December 13, the Mona Lisa was at the center of a new mystery after art detectives took a fresh look at the masterpiece and noticed something in her eyes.
The revelation could have come straight from the pages of Dan Brown's best-seller The Da Vinci Code, in which the Mona Lisa is said to contain hidden clues about the Holy Grail.
Silvano Vinceti, president of Italy's National Committee for Cultural Heritage, who spotted the symbols, said: "To the naked eye the symbols are not visible but with a magnifying glass they can clearly be seen. In the right eye appear to be the letters LV which could well stand for his name, Leonardo da Vinci, while in the left eye there are also symbols but they are not as defined. It is very difficult to make them out clearly but they appear to be the letters CE, or it could be the letter B. In the arch of the bridge in the background the number 72 can be seen or it could be an L and the number 2."
Mr Vinceti is a member of a group which is seeking permission to exhume da Vinci's remains from his tomb in France. They want to see if the artist's skull is there so that they can try and recreate his face and establish if the Mona Lisa is in fact a twist on a self-portrait of the artist as some believe.

据英国《每日邮报》12月13日报道，文学家重新审视探索名作《蒙娜丽莎》，在"她"的眼里发现了新的东西，这使《蒙娜丽莎》陷入到新一轮的谜团之中。
探索可能是受丹•布朗畅销书《达•芬奇密码》的启示，书中说《蒙娜丽莎》画作中隐藏关于圣杯的线索。
国家文化遗产委员会主席希尔瓦多•文森提说：“这些符号用裸眼是看不到的，只有用显微镜扩大后才能发现。蒙娜丽莎的右眼中的字母似乎是LV，可能代表达•芬奇的名字'Leonardo Da Vinci'。而在左眼中的一些符号，则还没有找出明确含义。尽管很难将左眼中的字母看清，但看起来似乎很像CE或者CB。在背景桥拱顶上还发现了数字72或者是L和数字2的图案。”
文森提是某组织的成员之一，他们要求法国当局允许他们挖出达•芬奇的遗体，以证明他的遗骸还在。他们可以尝试重塑达•芬奇的脸部，以此可以看看是不是如许多人猜测的一样，蒙娜丽莎是他的自画像。
