This Michelangelo , The Sistine Chapel Ceiling is situated in Rome.

No self respecting 16th century artist have taken a project on the scale of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling without throwing in at least a few puzzles to confuse later viewers. According to one recent theory, the ceiling's nine episodes from the book of genesis are a set of kabbalistic messages, with the poses of the figures spelling out letters in the Hebrew alphabet . David and Gollath from the letter gimel, which symbolises strength in the Jewish mystical system - all part of an attempt, on Michelangelo's part, it is argued , to create a bridge between Catholicism and Judaism. Other commentators, many of them doctors, have managed to piece together most of the human nervous system and other essential body parts in the ceiling's vast design.
