And do you know that the name "Mona Lisa" is actually derived from the names of the Egyptian god of masculine fertility "Amon" and the female goddess of fertility "L'isa"?
Amon L'isa becomes Mona Lisa.
Brilliant, isnt it?
I am beginning to like Leonardo Da Vinci more and more ;) Not only is he a genius, he has a unique sense of humour.
And ya, if you're wondering, I just finished the book of Da Vinci code.

why mona lisa smile then??
Mona Lisa smiles, because she knows secrets that others do not ;)
It was said that Mona Lisa is neither man nor woman. It's a fusion of both. Androgynous, that is.
Some says it's a self-portrait Leonardo Da Vinci did, as there seems to be some similarities between the two.
I find that thought really intriguing. Have a look at the 2 sites and you decide for yourself:
