Not only did he have more knowledge to compose Shakespeare's writings, but he also had reason to hide a cipher throughout it. Researchers believe the Baconian Cipher, found in much of Shakespeare's works, can change the concept of English history. The code contradicts that…
writers such as Plato and Bacon provided their own views on the source of knowledge. In his short story the “Allegory of the cave”, Plato claims that by identifying our identities and breaking through the barriers created by our false perception, we will be able to access that source of true knowledge buried deep inside our minds.
