God from Michaelangelo's The Separation of Light and Darkness section of the painting
Two American professors claim to have spotted something everyone else has missed for the last 500 years.
Take a close look at Michelangelo's painting of God on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome, and see if you agree.
The boffins from the respected Johns Hopkins University say they can see what looks like an organ from the human brain - the brain's stem - in God's throat.
But they don't conclude why the Italian renaissance painter he might have chosen to place it there, other than that he was also an avid student of anatomy.
