Kryptos & the Cyrillic Projector
This is a web version of my PowerPoint presentation on Kryptos & the Cyrillic Projector. It's a ~60-slide discussion about the encrypted messages on these sculptures, how the Cyrillic Projector cipher was solved, and how this may have given clues towards cracking the last part of the cipher on the CIA's Kryptos sculpture.

To see the web version (current as of October 2003) of the PowerPoint slides, please choose the version that's most compatible with your browser type:
- Hi-Res Version - The full "bells and whistles" version that requires IE4+. This one will make full use of IE capabilities, including having an option to go to "full-screen" display mode where you get most of the animation effects. It does require high end browsers though, and it does use ActiveX.
- Low-Res Version - A lower-res version that is compatible with IE and Netscape 3+. No ActiveX, but it does require Javascript
Enjoy,
