Conspiracy theories about the Denver International Airport (DIA) often involve the admittedly creepy art that exists throughout the terminals. Due to a few unexplainable structures within the airport, the DIA has been the subject of conspiracy theories and speculation since its construction in the early 1990s. Most of the theories have to do with a series of murals, but every piece of art that decorates or has decorated the DIA is believed to be a deep well of symbolism. Many theorists believe that the artwork at the airport references a nefarious plan for a New World Order takeover, while some of the other pieces seem to hint at a dark history.
Whether or not travelers or Denver locals subscribe to the theories that abound about the airport, there is no denying the inherent darkness apparently surrounding each piece of suspicious artwork. Every mural, statue, and floor inlay is considerably creepier than your run-of-the-mill airport art. At the very least, you may have to wonder: What does the art in the Denver International Airport mean?Photo: The Denver International Airport is rife with Freemasonry symbols. The Masonic capstone in the Jeppesen Terminal is shrouded in conspiracy. First of all, it is engraved with the famous square and compass symbol of Freemasonry and mentions two of the main lodges in Colorado. Also, when the date of the dedication is added together (1+9+1+9+9+4 ) it equals 33, a particularly significant number to Freemasons.
The stone is also dedicated to the "The New World Airport Commission," which theorists suggest is a reference to the Nazi group that called themselves the "New World Order." The Freemasons explain that "The New World Airport Commission" is actually the name of a group of businesses who wanted to create a "new, world-class" airport. Even skeptics note, however, that there is no other evidence a group called "The New World Airport Commission" ever existed.
Photo: The Blue Mustang statue looming outside the Denver International Airport attracts plenty of attention - and not all of it is good. During its construction, a piece of the statue's head fell on its creator, Luis Jimémenez, and ended him. This bad omen has led many conspiracy theorists to believe that the mustang is cursed, also landing it the unfortunate nickname "Blucifer."
Conspiracy theorist William Tapley believes that the statue also holds deep phallic symbolism, and that the mustang, in general, is "very masculine." Both that imagery and its ominous connections have led some people to speculate that Blucifer will eventually bring about the apocalypse by transporting one of the four horsemen to Earth.
Photo: The last thing anyone wants to see upon entering an airport is a statue of the Egyptian god of death, Anubis. But when the King Tut exhibit passed through the Denver Art Museum in 2010, so did a statue of a man with the head of a jackal.
Residents noted the symbolism of Anubis and they weren't happy. Millie Lieberman spoke to the Denver Post, saying: "The black on it represents the decaying body. To me it's a very sick and poor representation of what we're all about here in Denver." While the symbolism Lieberman is alluding to is partially correct, the skin of Anubis also represents the fertile soil of Nile.
Photo: In one section of the airport there's a statue of a gargoyle coming out of a suitcase. It's a cheeky nod to the tradition of gargoyles being used to scare away evil spirits, but some theorists believe there's something evil in the symbolism. Blogger L.A. Marzulli believes the statue is actually a demon or a fallen angel that's glaring over travelers near the baggage carousel:
It is an open suitcase but the contents are not clothes! It is a winged creature with horns and a tail! Is it a depiction of a fallen angel? Has it been hiding in some unfortunate man or woman's suitcase? A bigger question for me is what is this "art" doing at the Denver airport?
Photo: One of the airport's murals, In Peace and Harmony with Nature, contains a dense collection of symbolism that reflects anything but peace and harmony. The first part of the mural shows a group of children around a group of extinct plants and animals as a fire rages behind them, engulfing a forest and a city. The city on fire has been retouched multiple times over the years, and its strange color recalls a chemical strike. If you look closely, one of the children is holding a Mayan tablet, a possible reference to the end of the world.
The mural's artist, Leo Tanguma, says his piece represents the destruction of the environment and later the unification of humanity.
Photo: Children of the World Dream of Peace is a two-part mural depicting the children "celebrating peace prevailing over war." The mural features children from across the world dressed in traditional folk costumes wrapping weapons in flags.
According to conspiracy theorists, this part of the mural represents people giving up their national identities in an attempt to create peace and liberation. In fact, some of the faces in the painting are actual children from Denver who perished due to gang conflict while the mural was being commissioned.
Photo: While the first half of Children of the World Dream of Peace depicts a group of children from across the world joining together, the second half reveals a militaristic display of a figure dressed in a uniform that recalls the SS, using a massive scimitar to stab a dove. The soldier is surrounded by a group of parents crying for their deceased children and the rubble of a toppled building.
The Vigilant Citizen points out that the scimitar is an official symbol of the Freemasons.
Photo: A lesser known piece of symbolism in the DIA is an inlay in the Great Hall, an open space on level five. The floor features a series of concentric circles, each with a large black dot in the center. It's believed they represent the "black sun" or "sonnenrad."
No one knows exactly where this symbol comes from, but many in the Third Reich used it as a personal rune to represent triumph and the unity of their New World Order.
Photo: One floor inlay at the Denver Airport shows the periodic symbols for gold and silver, Au and Ag, in a mining cart. On the surface, this appears to be a nod to Colorado's rich gold rush history. However, many conspiracy theorists believe this piece of art is far more nefarious.
The Au-Ag symbols can also stand for the Austrian Antigen, a strain of the hepatitis B virus supposedly discovered by one of the airport's sponsors, although the connection between the researcher and the airport has not been proven. Theorists believe it is possible the symbol is meant to warn members of the New World Order that a dangerous strain of the virus will be released to reduce Earth's population.
Photo: It has not gone unnoticed that the DIA's runways are shaped like a swastika. The symbol has a long history that predates its most infamous connections to one of the darkest periods in the world's history. Conspiracy theorists still believe, however, that the swastika in the runways is intended to symbolize the coming of the New World Order.
It might be important to note that aviation experts suggest the DIA's runway design is actually one of the most efficient for multi-runway airports.
