That one was the most obvious of the clues presented but still required either knowing a dead language or looking up what "painting" is in a dead language. Having to turn to google isn't a great way to solve something.

After seeing what you came up with, I think the answer is supposed to be "follow the guiders 'THEY' point the way". The last runes in "They" and "Way" are the same, not different. Nice work!
as a fact da vinci used to write things backwards, but it was not so that others couldnt read them but because he was left- handed and back at his time left-handed people were not taught seperatly how to write so he just whote like the others but from the right because it was more comfertable for him))) Edit: How is this getting so many likes? what the heck

Not exactly. "Silent Book" is _Codex Silens_ or _Codex Silentus_ . The real puzzle here is what they meant with that name. Hypothesis 1. They messed with the grammar. In Latin, when you see a word that ends with -a usually is either a feminine singular or a neuter plural. When it ends with -ndus/nda/ndum it can be a gerundive (a future passive participle), a participle or a passive form. Henceforth _silenda_ is actually a verb that can be translated with "which is to be silent" or "which must be kept silent/not to be spoken about" or "which is to be silenced". Since adjectives in Latin basically come from participles, one can surmise that in medieval Latin existed an adjective _silendus_ even if it does not occur in ancient Latin. The main issue here is that _codex_ is a masculine singular, nominative case, so it must end with -us or, in its passive form, with -um (accusative) or _de_ + -o (ablative). Therefore, "The Book that have to be Silent" etc. should be translated as _Codex Silendus_ . Hypothesis 2. They were referring to something else. _Silenda_ is not declined along with _codex_ , but with an implicit nominative/accusative neuter plural or feminine singular. We can infer what this implicit term could be. If a neuter plural, then can be translated as "the things that have to be kept silent", while a nominative feminine singular doesn't make much sense here, unless it was intended in genitive case ( _silendae_ , "of the silent/not to speak about (woman)"), referring to Da Vinci's Mona Lisa. So we have 4 possible meanings intended: _The Silent Book_ (hypothetical or fictional medieval Latin with wrong grammar) _The Book that is to be kept silent/not to be spoken about/silenced_ (wrong grammar) _The Book of the woman one should not speak about_ (wrong grammar) _The Book of things that have to be kept unspoken_ (right grammar). < my fav guess so far.

There's a video game, called The Witness. It is a game that consists entirely of puzzles. They vary greatly, and imo, they are pretty difficult. Rarely do you get any hints. Check it out, and see if you may consider doing a video on it.
Soulrot keep posting this on different videos till he see this
Yes
If we're talking about Puzzle games, he should definitely play Braid or Limbo!
Let´s add Pneuma to the list of puzzle games also. Loved it. Witness too!
Fez too!
I recently discovered this channel and started binge watching your videos. I love the unique intros you make and your commentary.
I think this is my favorite so far! Thank-you, Chris.
I would say I'm impressed by the intro, but all your Intros are well made and impressive.
But in the end, the real treasure was the friends he had made along the way.
Love these videos, helps me start to and stay engrossed in focus on how to solve all the puzzles before you 🙌

*chokes on tea*
I straight up want Chris to make a movie or short film, his camera work and choice in music is so well done.
This man brought The Room to life
Everyone: Focuses on solving the puzzle
Me: "We have the same pen!"
Just seen the commercial on UA-cam for big trick energy while watching you solve a puzzle. It’s epic! Honestly the best of both worlds of magic and comedy. I can’t wait to watch on Tru Tv!
Congrats to all you guys I hope they sign you for more seasons, you all definitely deserve it you’ve all worked your asses off.
"What would you do here?"
Spin move for sure.
Chris: "solving the hardest puzzle to date"
Excalibur puzzle: "am I a joke to you?"
He doesnt like to remember the first puzzle he broke and that broke him
Stop with those terrible “jokes” where u say “am i a joke to you” they are so overused to the point they aren’t even jokes anymore...

Yikes that’s very childish to say... I didn’t realize there were 5yr olds on here
Love the story with this. One of my favorite puzzles that ive seen you do.
I have been watching your videos from yesterday and I already obsessed with it. Brother you are amazing, I salute you and lots of love and respect from Nepal.
If Chris doesn't make a magic movie, then he does humanity a disservice.

@@Laeshen hey its you again, form the "davinci didnt write reversed because it was messy just because the other reason that i dont remember" (yes you didnt say that you didnt remember it, it was me, i dont remember it)
16:38 The line at the top with the dude doing a backflip....YES BRO I laughed so much ahahahah
Definitely one of my favorite ones so far! Si much work and detail
The intro was definitely badass. I must say, the puzzle itself is just an absolute work of art. The story, the puzzles, the craftsmanship, everything about it is stunning. Thanks for showcasing the puzzle Chris! I’ll never be able to get it, but I’m still able to appreciate it through your video, as with a lot of puzzles you do.
Best intro's on the planet. This is legit next level youtube. Great stuff
So far going back from your most recent vids until now this puzzle is my favorite! And honestly super affordable for the experience you’re getting!
I love how he says “brush up on my english” and then repeats it in a really awful Scottish accent
**Brummie accent
Not quite brummie, definitely northern and off
Francesco is a mad lad he deserves some respect for doing all this
"I really don't want to break this." Always followed by a slamming of the puzzle or a prying of a part that looks like it's about to break.....love these videos. Keep em coming!
Your channel has become something so amazing. I was happy watching you time yourself solving little puzzles. Your channel is awesome.
You are simply amazing Chris! I love to do puzzles myself, you have a natural gift, my friend. My wife and I love to watch your videos! You inspire me to expand & sharpen my brain! Thank you from St. Louis, Missouri! You rock bro!
16:40 “the line on the top with the dude doing a back flip” lmao 😂😂
I believe "Codex Silenda" translates to _Silent Book_ . Cool name. Way cool puzzles.
Not exactly. "Silent Book" is _Codex Silens_ or _Codex Silentus_ .
The real puzzle here is what they meant with that name.
Hypothesis 1. They messed with the grammar.
In Latin, when you see a word that ends with -a usually is either a feminine singular or a neuter plural. When it ends with -ndus/nda/ndum it can be a gerundive (a future passive participle), a participle or a passive form. Henceforth _silenda_ is actually a verb that can be translated with "which is to be silent" or "which must be kept silent/not to be spoken about" or "which is to be silenced".
Since adjectives in Latin basically come from participles, one can surmise that in medieval Latin existed an adjective _silendus_ even if it does not occur in ancient Latin.
The main issue here is that _codex_ is a masculine singular, nominative case, so it must end with -us or, in its passive form, with -um (accusative) or _de_ + -o (ablative).
Therefore, "The Book that have to be Silent" etc. should be translated as _Codex Silendus_ .
Hypothesis 2. They were referring to something else.
_Silenda_ is not declined along with _codex_ , but with an implicit nominative/accusative neuter plural or feminine singular. We can infer what this implicit term could be. If a neuter plural, then can be translated as "the things that have to be kept silent", while a nominative feminine singular doesn't make much sense here, unless it was intended in genitive case ( _silendae_ , "of the silent/not to speak about (woman)"), referring to Da Vinci's Mona Lisa.
So we have 4 possible meanings intended:
_The Silent Book_ (hypothetical or fictional medieval Latin with wrong grammar)
_The Book that is to be kept silent/not to be spoken about/silenced_ (wrong grammar)
_The Book of the woman one should not speak about_ (wrong grammar)
_The Book of things that have to be kept unspoken_ (right grammar). < my fav guess so far.
@@rasendra4392 are you a teacher
@@mykieproductions I studied Latin in Italy for 5 years a long time ago and I'm an amateur of ancient Indoeuropeans like Sanskrit, but I'm definitely not a teacher by profession.
@@rasendra4392 I was joking but you seem like you can be a history teacher sorry I you took offense of if I was rude in any manner
Rasendra or its because italians have a vowel after every word
As an englishman.. I must say your english accent was pretty much spot on
You made me love something I did not know I did before. This is amazing, and I love your channel. Please keep add it because I am watching all your stuff man. Great job!
OMG that accent you do in the intro is such fun. I’m From UK so when I hear someone doing an English accent it always sounds very amusing, but also very ACE! ✨👍🏻
Another UK fan. Gotta say my bristolian accent is far from the English accent Americans use haha
I'm one minute in and I'm liking the video for 2 reasons already.
1. The amount of time and effort for setting up the props, the outfits, the filming and editing that went into this is unreal.
2. It's Chris Ramsay.
Bro, I've been watching you for years and your intros for puzzle vids is light years beyond most ppls entire catalog of content! Keep up the beautiful work.
Thank you Chris! That was so amazing! I am so hooked on your videos.
I feel like he could be in a movie with that acting good job.
Is that the Marauders Map in the top right corner?! If so livingggg for that and if not then I want it anyway
Good eye!
Haha what can I say! May or may not work at the Harry Potter Studio Tour so I’ve got a magical radar 😅

@@WhiteBloggerBlackSpecs 'started making trouble in the neighbourhood' Oh wait :/
I really like how this video was filmed, very cool. I really love the puzzle aswell, the whole story line and stuff was cool and the woodwork is absolutely amazing!
This is soooo cool! I love that it has a story that goes along with it. Such a great concept.
