Kryptos

This mysterious encrypted sculpture was designed by Jim Sanborn. It currently resides outside of the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. In fact, the statue is so complicated and puzzling that not even the CIA itself has been able to crack the code.

The sculpture contains four inscriptions. Three have been cracked, but the fourth remains unknown. In 2006, Sanborn hinted that there are clues in the first inscription that may crack the last one.
