In addition to traces of bullets and blood found in cellar room, investigators of Namiotkine and Sergueiev discovered different graffitis on wallpaper. Some of them were insults against the Romanov family and obviously written before the execution when the room hosted red guards of Ipatiev house. Others were drawings showing Rasputin and Czarina in pornographic attitude. |

The following words were also found on cellar room wall : "Belsatzar ward in selbiger Nacht Von
which means in English : "Balthazar was, in this same night

These words are
distorted extracts from "Balthazar" poem written by the German poet
Heinrich Heine. The poem, which has a biblical inspiration, evokes the
legend of the last king of Babylon : Balthazar. |

Prophet Daniel, called to decipher it, understood these words as the next judgment of king Balthazar and the conquest of his kingdom. In fact, the same night, Balthazar was killed by his own men and the kingdom conquered by Cyrus. But
the German for "Balthazar" is
"Belsazar" without
"t". The addition of this
"t" reveals the word
"Tzar" (Belsatzar)

For example, in 1923, a man called Enel wrote in a book that these mysterious signs were secrets persians characters meaning: |
"Here, through secret forces, the Czar has been offered in sacrifice so that his country be destroyed. All peoples are informed of this event." It is one of the numerous interpretations of these signs. More recently, people write me another theory about the
meaning of this signs :

But reality is maybe more simple as Nicolas Ross explains in his book about the Romanov drama : According to him, after bolshevicks departure, when Ipatiev house hosted white army, someone could have entered cellar room, used the wall to make calculations in roubles (.rou of the previous words) and had tried his pen before writing. |
