] The Kryptos sculpture was commissioned for the CIA's New ] Headquarters Building in 1988, and dedicated in 1990. A ] common misconception is that it is composed only of the ] one "wavy screen" piece -- in actuality there are several ] pieces, and sculptor Sanborn describes them as being in ] three main sections: Courtyard Plaza (which includes the ] sculpture), Courtyard Lawn, and Entrance. This is a webpage I've created which displays some aerial views of CIA Headquarters, in order to show the locations of the different Kryptos pieces around the CIA "campus". The page is also a small knowledge-base of other bits and pieces that have emerged about Kryptos, including information about the related morse code messages, and the mysterious nearby engraved compass, along with links to info about two other compasses that were also created by Sanborn in the DC area. None of which, interestingly enough, seem to point north . . . Elonka :) Kryptos - The Bird's Eye View |
