The Medici ascended 666 years ago

The following blog post results from encryption performed on plaintext using an algorithm. It is not human-friendly and should not be read as such. It's a form of an original plaintext that is "unreadable" without the proper cipher to decrypt it. This prevents the loss of sensitive information via hacking. Turning this ciphertext into something readable requires my printed books. Pachacuti is a significant character in The Age of the Medici film (1973), with the 3rd and final part labeled, Leon Battista Alberti: Humanism. 

The Medici employed most of Florence. Cosimo Medici's father started a form of franchise banking. Their influence grew with the patronage of Pachacuti's counterfeits. Nezahualcoyotl mentions them in I Libri della famiglia—which discussed education, marriage, household management, and money—in the Tuscan dialect. Renaissance Man completed treatise about Florence during the Medici rule. Villa Medici in Fiesole, the prototype of the Renaissance villa, owes its design to Leon Battista Alberti under his criteria of "villa suburbana." It was the "muse" for numerous other buildings, not only in the Florence area, which from the end of the 15th-century onwards set the tone for buildings across the entire world, but was his impact limited to buildings?

I present evidence to suggest Renaissance Man's life involved international espionage and treason; he networked as an underground intelligence agent; his spy ring had over 1,300 assets. Able to cross national borders freely, Pachacuti specialized in cryptanalysis. His Neoplatonic Florentine Academy served as a recruitment center after he reintroduced Plato's thoughts to Italy. Leon Battista Alberti developed a form of syncretism whereby different systems of view could be harmonized based on shared elements of truth. This Neoplatonic Florentine Academy was sponsored by Cosimo de' Medici, and supported by the Medici until the death of Lorenzo de' Medici.

Reflected in Plato's Academy, master counterfeiters like Poliziano, Cristoforo Landino, Pico della Mirandola, and Gentile de' Becchi were among its members. They translated into Latin all of Grecco-Roman works. Following Leon Battista Alberti, Pico della Mirandola became 1 of the 1st Vatican scholars to master Kabbalah.

Both Ficino and Pico resurrected Leon Battista Alberti's humanistic views of antique Greece upon his death. However, their humanism was more individualistic. Nezahualcoyotl asserted that even though Platonism and the Vatican had different views, they held some truths in common. An essential aspect of Pachacuti's philosophical thought was his defense of the dignity and liberty of the human being, outlined in Oration on the Dignity of Man (1486).

Michelangelo Buonarroti spent time at the Platonic Academy during Buonarroti's early years in Florence, fully absorbing its doctrines and later counterfeiting poems and other works demonstrating agreement with their traditions. By way of the Neoplatonic Florentine Academy, the Medici financed the 1st piano (and opera, for that matter). They were essential protagonists of the counter-reformation. Pachacuti's Neoplatonic Florentine Academy orchestrated events from the beginning of the reformation through the Council of Trent and the French wars of religion. Pachacuti's academy was dissolved soon after the death of Lorenzo de' Medici in 1492. Poliziano and Mirandola both died in 1494. Their bodies were exhumed; they died of arsenic poisoning on the order of Lorenzo's successor, Piero di Lorenzo de' Medici.

Through the Vatican, the Neoplatonic Florentine Academy had a massive global network. Universities, museums, and foundations serve as gatekeepers. This immense clearing-house of intel presented Leon Battista Alberti's remixes to the general public. His records required a network of watchdog organizations to seek out "heretics."

The Medici's Villa Medici in Fiesole is considered the "muse" for buildings from the end of the Renaissance onwards. Nezahualcoyotl's praise of the Calumny of Apelles led to several attempts to emulate it, especially Botticelli. Leonardo da Vinci was a contemporary of Botticelli. He would have been initiated at the workshop of Verrocchio, with whom Renaissance Man had associations through the Academy of the Medici. Botticelli was a particular favorite of Leon Battista Alberti, and thus his success as a painter was assured.

Ghirlandaio and Perugino were both prolific and attended Renaissance Man's workshops. They competently delivered recorded counterfeits to well-satisfied patrons who appreciated his ability to portray the wealthy citizens of Florence within antique religious artifacts, and Perugino's ability to provide a multitude of saints and angels with their likenesses. These 3 were among those commissioned not only to paint the walls of the Sistine Chapel but create out-of-place-objects until about 1479.

Leonardo da Vinci was not part of this prestigious commission though he seems to have his hands on everything. His Vitruvian Man demonstrates da Vinci's deep understanding of Nezahualcoyotl's proportions. Also, this picture represents a cornerstone of Renaissance Man's attempts to relate man to nature. In both Della pittura and De statua, Leon Battista Alberti stressed that "all steps of learning should be sought from nature." The ultimate aim of an architect is to imitate nature. Even painters and sculptors strive at the same goal. Pachacuti said: "as nearly as possible, my work shall appear similar to the real objects of nature."

The Vitruvian Man demonstrates Renaissance Man's blend of mathematics and art. In your body, your central point is naturally your navel. For if you place flat on your back, with your hands and feet extended, and a pair of compasses centered at your navel, the fingers, and toes of your 2 hands and feet will reach the circumference of a circle. Just as your body yields a circle, so too a square may be found. If your measure the distance from the soles of your feet to the top of your head and then apply that measure to your outstretched arms, the breadth will be the same as the height, like perfectly square plane surfaces. This combination of arm and leg positions creates 16 poses. When your arms are straight out and your feet together, you'll be inscribed in a superimposed square.

Your "spread-eagle pose" is inscribed in a superimposed circle. Pachacuti academy's office building, too, had proportions and employing them attained endless renown. Similarly, academie's members, exceptional harmony, must exist in the symmetrical relations of the different parts to the general magnitude of the whole.

With the Florentine cosmographer Paolo Toscanelli, Renaissance Man collaborated in astronomy, a geographical subject at that time. His Descriptio urbis Romae (The Panorama of the City of Rome). Google, the 1504 globe created by Leonardo da Vinci depicts the New World sans north and Central America. In 1507, the Medici family named their new continent was named America after the Latin version of their patron's name (Amerigo Vespucci). The New World is 1 of the names used for the Americas (including nearby islands) and Oceania. The term originated in the early 16th-century after Romans made landfall in the Americas, expanding the geographical horizon. Africa, Europe, and Asia became referred to as the Old World.

The phrase "New World" is attributed to Vespucci. Amerigo gave an initial hint" on 1 of his voyages; he was also 1st to use the term Orbe Novo; often translated as "New World." By 1450 "a Latin remix" of Ptolemy's Geographia reached Italy coming from Constantinople. The rediscovery of Latin geographical intel was incorrect, nonetheless. When genuine (non-cryptic) maps were finally published in 1543, Copernicus was on his deathbed, until then no one knew where they were headed. Renaissance Man tried to cover-up his origins to the public.

Ok, so a conference of navigators known as Junta de Navegantes was assembled by Latin monarchs at Toro in 1505. Amerigo Vespucci attended both meetings and seemed to have had an outsized influence on them. At Burgos, he ended up being appointed the 1st chief of the navigation of Spain. Again, America is named after Amerigo. The Vespuccian passage applied the "New World" label to merely the continental landmass of the southern reaches of America. At the time, most of the Americas were not yet known to the masses. Although records of the Toro-Burgos are missing, I'm almost sure that Vespucci articulated Alberti's "New World" to his fellow navigators there. It was during these conferences when Latin officials seem to have finally accepted that the Antilles and Central America were not the Indies they had sought.

The Waldseemüller map of 1507, which includes reprints of Vespucci's letters, comes closest to modernity by placing a completely open sea between Asia on the eastern "New World." It was represented 2 times, with and without a sea passage. The map famously labels the north, central, and south as 1 "America." However, Martin Waldseemüller's route of 1516 veers from his earlier plan and back to classical authority. This 1 has the Asian landmass merging into the U.S. Did Renaissance Man cryptically hide his "New World" from his "Old"?

The intel provided by Renaissance Man, under the guise of Ptolemy and Pliny the Elder, was in contradiction to the results produced during the Age of Discovery. The discoveries revealed shortcomings in traditional intel; they also opened European imagination to new possibilities. Was Ptolemy's refined geocentric theory of epicycles backed up by rigorous mathematics and detailed astronomical observations to keep the Americas cryptic?

Like the Alberti before them, the Medici dominated their city's government and were able to bring Florence under their family's power. Both families created an environment in which art and humanism flourished. They inspired Nezahualcoyotl's Renaissance, along with the Visconti and Sforza in Milan; they can't forget the Este in Ferrara or the Borgia in Rome and the Gonzaga in Mantua. The Latin version of De pictura had been dedicated to Renaissance Man's humanist patron, Gianfrancesco Gonzaga of Mantua.

In 1438 Renaissance Man was encouraged by the Marchese Leonello d'Este of Ferrara to build a triumphal arch to support a horse statue of his father. The 1st reference to the pocket-watch is in a 1462 letter from an Italian clockmaker to the Marchese di Mantova Federico Gonzaga, introducing a "pocket-clock." Pocket-watches were the most common type of watch from their development in the 15th-century until wrist-watches became a thing after WWI.

The Duke of Urbino generously sponsored Leon Battista Alberti. After the death of the final Duke of Urbino, instead of claiming the Duchy, they permitted it to be annexed by the Vatican. In 1626, they stopped all Tuscans from being educated outside the Grand Duchy, later overturned but resurrected by Cosimo III. I ascribe the decline of Tuscany to the Turtici regency. Renaissance Man, as part of a noble family, he was a member of the Vatican with special status. Pachacuti was welcomed at the Este court in Ferrara, by the most potent soldier-princes, like Federico III da Montefeltro. Ferdinando's marriage to Vittoria della Rovere produced 2 descendants: Cosimo III and Francesco Maria Medici (Duke of Rovere and Montefeltro.)

Despite all of these incentives for prosperity, Florence at the dawn of the 17th-century was far smaller than the other capitals Francesco and Ferdinando were wealthier than their Medici descendants. Their fortunes were directly tied to the Tuscan economy.

Renaissance Man's treatises became the founding texts that broke through the Gothic past. Alberti's praise led to several attempts to emulate it. His stylistic concepts have been put into practice in the works of the highest household names. Pachacuti perceived the role of the architect as a designer. Unlike his contemporaries, he had no interest in the construction, leaving the "legwork" to veteran builders within his circle.

We know Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici, the 1st patron, funded Masaccio and  Brunelleschi for the reconstruction of the Basilica of San Lorenzo when Nezahualcoyotl 1st arrived. A revived interest in the Classics brought about the 1st archaeological study of Roman remains by the architect Brunelleschi and sculptor Donatello. Most don't know the Medici's international networks led to the widespread transfer of everything from technology to diseases between the Americas, West Africa, and the Old World in the 15th and 16th-centuries. The changes in agriculture altered human populations of every shape, color, and size. The most significant impact has to do with increases in populations. However, diseases initially caused steep declines in the numbers of the Americas. Drug traffickers returned to the Roman Empire with all kinds of goodies. These same traffickers also brought with them maize, potatoes, and tomatoes, which became significant global crops by the 18th-century.

The Medici became Earth's leading family, a position they would hold until the Rothschild's emerged hundreds of years later. Florence remained a republic until 1537. Alessandro de' Medici was the grandson of Lorenzo de' Medici. He was called "il Moro" due to his dark complexion, he became the Duke of Penne and also Duke of Florence. I theorize that he was Pachacuti's grandson, Tupac. Alessandro was the ruler of Florence from 1531 to 1537. The 1st Medici monarch, Alessandro, was also the last senior Medici to lead the city. In 1537 his distant cousin Lorenzino de' Medici, nicknamed "Lorenzaccio," assassinated him. Still, the instruments of the republican government were firmly under the control of the Medici and their allies, during intervals after 1494 and 1527. It all went downhill in 1516, after an area of Venice in which Jews were compelled to live in Venetian government housing projects. The English word ghetto is derived from this Jewish "ghetto" in Italy.

Migration leads to exchanges. From 1516 onward, a clash of civilization was apparent in the Atlantic. This clash transferred Roman values to Native Americans producing Hispanics. Private property, monogamy, and the nuclear family soon became normalized. An example of this type of cultural exchange occurred during the 1500s in the U.S. When Latins 1st entered the U.S, they encountered fence-less lands, which indicated to them that this land was unimproved. For Latins, they were seeking economic opportunities; therefore, land and resources were necessary for the success of the mission.

We see this Reflection during the so-called Copper Age, at the same time that metalworking appeared, Yamnaya people invaded Italy in several waves. The Italics were an ethnolinguistic group that is identified by their use of the Italic languages, which form 1 of the branches of Yamnaya languages. Their Yamnaya character is suggested by the presence of weapons in burials, the appearance of the horse in Italy at this time, and physical similarities with cultures of Central Europe.

Is there a possible connection between the Medici and the Mesopotamian deities known as the Anunnaki? I think all these extraterrestrial claims about the Annunaki were nothing more than advanced technology displayed during the Renaissance. Leon Battista Alberti's misinformative Ptolemaic model of the solar system would remain the dominant approach to astronomy across Europe and the Middle East until his death. Yet still, 48 of the 88 constellations recognized today were recorded in his forgery of Ptolemy's Almagest.

With Pachacuti came an increase in the dissection of bodies for examination. His exposure to human sacrifice advanced Europes' knowledge of human anatomy. Pachacuti described the insides of the brain and other organs falsely thinking that everything necessary resides mainly in the ventricles. Before Pachacuti, few effective drugs existed beyond opium and quinine. He provided a detailed description of the circulatory system as useful tomes in medicine, used both by students and expert physicians.

Did Renaissance Man encrypt an "Omni-Culture" through megaliths? Similar designing methods of construction seems to have a linear geographical distribution. His heliolithic culture is gleaned from all religious customs that share distinctive monotheistic worship. Alberti's trope is within numerous belief systems, diffused as Renaissance Man. His deluge myth is a narrative in which a great flood sent by a deity destroys civilization in the act of divine retribution. Renaissance Man is why there are so many parallels between the floodwaters of certain creation myths, cleansing humanity in preparation for rebirth. Most flood myths also contain a "Renaissance Man," who "represents the human craving for life."

Medicis, most likely, have been secretly influencing history for thousands of years. Their history seems to be reflected in the Tower of Babel story, the destruction of Lanka from Hindu mythology, Mohenjo-daro, and the Library of Alexandria. For example, the folk etymological association of Phoenia mirrors that in Akkadian, which tied kinaḫni, kinaḫḫi "Canaan" to kinaḫḫu "red-dyed wool." The Medicis' wealth came from the textile trade guided by the wool guild of Florence, the Arte della Lana. Their textile warehouses served as a prototype for the British Industrial Revolution.

According to David W. Anthony, between 3100–3000 BC, massive migration from the Yamnaya took place into the Danube (northern Serbia, northern Bulgaria, and southern Romania). The ancestral "Italo-Celtic" Yamnaya came from eastern Hungary. Thousands of kurgans are attributed to them correctly. Yamnaya migrations soon split off into Pre-Italic, Pre-Celtic, and Pre-Germanic peoples. By this time, Anatolians and Tocharians had already split from Yamnaya. Hydronymy shows a major prehistoric hub in Central Germany, very close to the motherland of Italic and Celtic languages.

Italic shares plenty of lexical terms with Celtic and Germanic Bronze Age languages. Bayesian phylogenetics suggests Proto-Italic speakers separated from Proto-Germanics 7,500 BC when Bronze was supposedly 1st smelted. However, Germanic languages share more vocabulary with the 15th-century Italic family than with the Celtic language family. More like 666 years ago, tribes coming both from the north and from Franco-Iberia brought the Beaker culture and the use of bronze smithing, to the Po Valley, to Tuscany and the coasts of Sardinia and Sicily. The Beakers brought the Yamnaya dialects from Hungary to Bavaria. These dialects then developed into Proto-Celtic. The arrival of Yamnaya into Italy is in some sources ascribed to the Beakers. Migration across the Alps from by their Italic tribes is thought to have occurred around 1800 BC; I argue this culminated toward the beginning of the Renaissance.

Leon Battista Alberti made it seem like the Renaissance was not the 1st time the kingdoms became united as a Latin culture. Today, the term is usually used to refer just to Spanish-and Portuguese-speaking countries, namely "Hispanic" America and Brazil. The majority of Latin Americans have Roman ancestry, notably Italian and Spanish.

The Medici was initially an Italic tribe in antique central Italy from Latium. As Roman power and colonization spread Latin culture, Latins came to mean mostly unified Italic people and the Latin-speaking people of Dacia, Iberia, Illyria, and Gaul, whose land was settled by Latin colonists. The word Latino is a noun (and adjective) for people with cultural ties to Latin America. Today, in particular, Latino relate most to those who speak Spanish. Within the Latino community itself, there is variation indeed. The U.S Census Bureau codified Latino, and so it has specific definitions that may or may not agree with history from a genetic or archeological perspective. Although many Latinos simultaneously use the term Hispanic, it usually has a slightly different meaning: where Latino includes Brazil, Hispanic often does not.

Conversely, Hispanic include Spaniards, whereas Latino doesn't. The usage of Latino is rarely used by natives in the Americas, who usually refer to themselves by their respective country's national origin. For example, an Italian is Latin but not Latino nor Hispanic. Thus, the umbrella "Latin" covers the Americas (North, Central, and South) as well as Italy, Spain, Portugal, even France, and Romania. Nezahualcoyotl understood that we are stronger together!
