He, the discoverer, believed there was a cryptic message hidden in the art itself.   And indeed there was, the downfall of Amity was predicted in Texte de Jaune, in a caption reading "Amity - 2022". Amity's fate was thus sealed in embroidery, in the piece of art depicting three people dancing, on fire.
