A 500-year-old secret code used in letters between one of Spain’s most famous monarchs and a military commander has been cracked.

——kind of bad ass if it took 500 years to crack the man coded messages.

The mysterious coding system used by Ferdinand of Aragon and Gonzalo de Córdoba was highly complex. It was constructed using 88 different symbols and 237 combined letters.
For each letter there were between two and six figurative characters such as triangles or numbers.
To complicate matters even further, the symbols used in the letters were written without separating words and phrases.

Its interesting it took that long to break the code given modern computing power. But for back in the day, that would have been almost impossible to break.

How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.
