Sistine Chapel Makeover


[Click to enlarge]

How can religious authority postpone a public acknowledgment of these strange apparitions any longer? A message is being put across from above, what that message is exactly is not clear, but it has begun to take unmistakable musical and stylistic references from what can only be Rock 'n Roll, a musical genre which has been at odds with Christian practices.

Is this the elaborate workings of a Banksy wannabe? We don't think so. The ceiling is an incredible 20.7 meters from ground level. No man could have covertly set themselves up within the chapel so quickly. The building security itself and cctv footage have so far found no evidence of this having been made by any human.

Above is a close-up of the famous scene in which God and (the now mohawked) Adam reach out to each other. They both seem to have had their fingernails painted black, which is a common fashion accessory within the punk and glam-rock scenes. Adam also wears a leather bracelet. By having this item on him, he is no longer nude in the painting, and therefore the meaning of this mural has changed slightly. If one looks at the book of Genesis in the Old Testament of the Bible, Adam and Eve only dressed themselves after the apple from the Tree of Knowledge was eaten. This alteration suggests God reached out to Adam at a different, later time.

Two falling feathers are introduced between them. What could these mean? Are they the feathers of a fallen angel? Or could they be a reference to the plight of nature in the world we live in today?

Compare your fake Photoshopped picture by some prankster with nothing better to do to the real Sistine chapel picture.

It seems, in your picture, Adam has also grown a mohawk. What the change in the painting is really trying to say is: Adam has become a punk rocker.
