The Brain and Its Mysteries in The Creation of Adam

Michelangelo’s Anatomical Revelation

By KayPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam is not only a stunning representation of biblical creation but might also contain a hidden anatomical diagram.

It's believe that the right side of the painting depicts a brain, complete with detailed components like the cerebellum, optic nerve, and pituitary gland.

The green band in the image is thought to resemble the vertebral artery.

Even more intriguing, another fresco in the Sistine Chapel, The Separation of Light from Darkness, shows a brain-shaped pattern in God’s neck.

Michelangelo’s work may hold more secrets than we ever imagined!
