Ambigram



WHAT IS AN AMBIGRAM?
An ambigram is a word written in such a way that it is legible both rightside-up and upside-down. Ambigrams are an ancient artform and play heavily into the mysteries of Angels & Demons.



An ambigram, also known as an inversion, is a graphical figure that spells out a word not only in its form as presented, but also in another direction or orientation. This is typically when viewed as a mirror-image or when rotated through 180 degrees. The word usually is not a palindrome, although it may be. Sometimes the word spelled out from the alternate direction may be a different one, but for mirror-image ambigrams the canonical form spells out the same word.

The Illuminati is the name of many groups, modern and historical, real and fictitious, verified and alleged. Most commonly, however, The Illuminati refers specifically to the Bavarian Illuminati ,perhaps the least secret of all secret societies in the world, described below. Most use refers to an alleged shadowy conspiratorial organization which controls world affairs behind the scenes, usually a modern incarnation or continuation of the Bavarian Illuminati. Illuminati is sometimes used synonymously with New World Order.

Recently i started the best seller "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown... and found the idea of ambigram and the illuminati.... thought to share it in the blogsite... though may be many of u have read the book already.... if not u can try this "angels and demons" and "da vinci code" by dan brown.... they r cool.

Yeap these two books are really cool. I read da vinci code after I was recommended by quite a few persons. And after reading vinci code I finished angels and daemons and now going through deception point.

By the way nice template hack :)
