SOMERTON MAN CODE PAGE: TOP RIGHT STAIN UNCOVERED PLUS A RARE SOE CODE IMAGE

THE TOP RIGHT STAIN

As you can see this is a close-up of the stain that appears to the top right-hand side of the code page. The stain was 'peeled' back using citric acid, what that does is to remove the lighter coloration leaving the darker markings visible. At the moment this is the best resolution image I can get. I rotated it to show what appears to be sets of numbers reading from left to right.

Whilst I have seen numerous examples of codes and one-time pads, this is the first one I have seen where you can see the technique used to crack a code.
