A fascinating discovery has been made: a devil letter.
Written in 1676 by a possessed nun, this mysterious document has stunned experts for ages. With its cryptic symbols and letters now translated, capturing millions of people.
Sister Maria Crocifissa della Concezione, a 31-year-old nun residing in the Palma di Montechiaro convent in Sicily, was said to have been under the influence of demonic forces when she wrote the letter.
Discovered on August 11, 1676, Sister Maria was found on her cell floor with her face covered in ink, holding a document filled with a mysterious combination of symbols and letters.
Throughout history, scholars and archaeologists have attempted to decode the message within the letter. After centuries of analysis, significant progress has been made.
Daniele Abate, the director of Ludum, a historical decryption organization, emphasized the importance of understanding the psychological profile of the writer when decoding such cryptic texts.
In this case, it was crucial to gather as much information as possible about Sister Maria.
Historical accounts reveal that Sister Maria decided to devote her life to God at the age of 15, entering the Benedictine convent.
Abate's team speculated that the letter appeared to be written in shorthand, possibly indicating that Sister Maria had developed a unique vocabulary using ancient alphabets with which she was familiar.
To identify the exact nature of the script, researchers used specialized software capable of scanning and analyzing shorthand symbols from various languages.
Their analysis revealed that the nun's letter contained words derived from ancient alphabets, including Greek, Latin, Runic, and Arabic.
By carefully examining the repetition of syllables and symbols, a refined decryption algorithm was created.
The researchers expected to extract only a few coherent words from the text but to their surprise, Sister Maria displayed a remarkable command of languages, resulting in a more comprehensive and meaningful message than anticipated.
Within the translated letter, alongside denouncing the Holy Trinity as "dead weights," Sister Maria expressed, "God thinks he can free mortals. The system works for no one. Perhaps now, Styx is certain."
The inclusion of the reference to Styx, a river in ancient Greek and Roman mythology that separated the realm of the living from the netherworld, highlights the captivating of the letter.
Abate suggested that the translated letter provides strong indications that Sister Maria was struggling with mental health conditions.
The presence of the devil in her writings corresponds with documented accounts of her nightly screams and battles against the evil forces.
