This book is supposed to be all about the quirky smile ofLa Gioconda in the Musee du Louvre! So why not show her full face right there on the on the front cover of this book? Is Bill trying to tell us something? Yes he surely is, and it must be something that is new and important about the Author of the Mona Lisa. Perhaps it is about some ancient mystery that has been going on for two thousand years, even before Leonardo da Vinci painted her portrait. Why on earth is it so important to get to the bottom of this great mystery after all this time? Now is the moment that we need to have some answers to this enigma. So within the pages of this book you will find these answers based on the researches of many joined with the discoveries of a few. These are linked to clues specifically left by Leonardo da Vinci and others through the ages in their fine works of art. Beside this they provide the key to the ancient cipher. You too can open this book and enjoy being one who shares this knowledge with Leonardo da Vinci.

Autorenporträt
Working on a project such as this over a number of years surely would have a profound effect upon anyone. As Bill became more fully aware of the scope and extent of the expanding theme he realised that he was but a latecomer in an enterprise that has been in progress for many centuries. The language skills which he started to acquire at school, including Latin and French, have proved most useful. These were later supplemented by other languages including Arabic and Italian learnt during his year in army service at Sabratha in Libya, though he never uttered a word while diving in the Mediterranean sea along the Libyan coast near Tripoli. The practical skills needed for the engineering side were started during his army service in the REME where his Armourer trade training even included blacksmithing and tool making, also aided by his being the Cadet Force unit Armourer at his grammar school during the war years. After completing his army service he returned to England, settling in a career in the travel Industry with Thomas Cook & Son in London. But travel took him to Rhodesia where he and his wife and son settled as he worked for Central African Airways. The diving side of life lured Bill into the Sinoia Caves as the Diving Officer in the Salisbury Branch of the British Sub-Aqua Club, the team achieving the depth record for fresh water diving and the 'Associated Divers' undertook all the diving in the Kariba Dam on the Zambezi River. However, this still afforded him sufficient time to become familiar with the rich mineral resources of Rhodesia where the current price of gold was twelve pounds five shillings and six pence a fine ounce. So he became proficient in the necessary geological and mineral exploration techniques. These particular special skills included using stereo pairs of aerial photographs in order to research the landscape for mineral deposits. Soon promoted to Mine Manager, Bill Kersey was producing gold, aquamarine, beryllium and rare earths such as tantalum and niobium. Southern Rhodesia became known as 'The Breadbasket Of Africa' These prospecting skills have proved of particular value in the crucial fieldwork aspect of this research in order to relate what he discovered in Old Masters' Paintings to the special features that still exist in the actual landscape. Returning to England after six months in Capetown with Lufthansa, as well as doubling as a Computer Operator with IBM, he was ideally suited to move into the computer and engineering field on such projects as the Libyan Great Man-made River project and Channel Tunnel, petro-chem and sub-sea projects. So naturally Bill felt the need, back in 1972, to seek some light entertainment in the challenge of the mystery that surrounds the Jerusalem Temple Treasure. As a result of becoming involved in that line of enquiry, more and more artefacts and information have literally been unearthed and resulted in the production of various books on the ever-widening ramifications of this subject. This has even drawn the Mona Lisa painting into the tale. Surely that should wipe the smile off her beautiful face!
