um..u realize the sphere is something often held by people of power right? old kings would have a simple gold sphere with a cross on top, it was just a symbol of authority. you guys are over thinking this. alot of paintings (and even coins) of renaissance/middle ages show someone of power holding a sphere. ITS NOT THE APPLE OF EDEN. theres a word for the object, shame i forgot it. also, for the one who said jesus looks creepy, its cuz da vinci likely wanted jesus to appear serious whilst holding a symbol of power. nothing more. not everything is a conspiracy people
