Where is the mona lisa right now
Real Mona Lisa Discovered?
we're gonna turn now to exciting news
surrounding the centuries-old Mona Lisa
mystery just who is the face on one of
the most famous paintings in the world
the model for Leonardo da Vinci's
masterpiece well scientists now think
her identity could be revealed through
DNA testing
here's ABC's carrot radhiya she appears
larger from the last night
the clue to unlocking one of Hart's
biggest secrets is so groundbreaking you
might expect to find Tom Hanks from The
Da Vinci Code on the scene luckily
instead it's a real-life team of
researchers on the edge of finally
answering just who is that woman with
the cryptic smile in Leonardo da Vinci's
masterpiece the Mona Lisa for centuries
historians and art lovers have pondered
the possibilities one of da Vinci's
lovers amuse perhaps or maybe even da
Vinci himself dressed as a woman
Italians have long speculated that the
Lisa in Mona Lisa was Lisa Gherardini
she's believed to have posed for da
Vinci but nobody's ever been able to
prove she's the one in the painting the
answer may lie in this ancient
underground crypt in Florence Alabama we
have historical certainty that in that
tomb there are Lisa Garrard demons
descendants this week they opened up
that crypt for the first time in over
300 years and climbed inside the dank
tomb where they'll take DNA samples from
the remains of gara Dinis relatives we
were very lucky I'd say because there
was a good amount of bone remains if the
DNA here is related to another set of
bones believed to be Gera dd herself
then her remains are finally confirmed
and they could use x-rays and digital
facial reconstruction technology similar
to what's used in a crime scene to
figure out what she looked like if
everything goes as it should we will
reconstruct least a guarantee in space
from her skull and then the real test to
see if that face is anything like the
Mona Lisa we all know these researchers
and that technology have their critics
but all this testing will take some time
so for now that age-old mystery remains
a mystery Dan and beyond a new mystery
this morning is who is that interpreter
right I'm gonna have that voice follow
me
