Why?
The word "lysv_" is written on the wall in the Ipatiev basement/ execution room.
Over on the thread: Did any of the Romanov's survived? we talked about the marks on the wall and Penny sent us a photo:
[too large to carry to here]
There was questions about what lysv could mean.
There is suggestions it was a place: Lysev or Lysva, where the estate of Count Paul Benkendorff, who was known to have been part of a plot to rescue Nicholas II, was in or near or part of....

I believe those trying to figure out the scrawl thought of placing a mirror in front of it and they thought it read "lysv_" [the "a" not quite finished or too faint or it was just not completed]. Some think this is where Alexandra and her daughters were taken. Others think this was a message telling people where the "jewels" were taken..... Some thought it was mystic symbols....
The discussion of mystic symbols is very important when connected to the Royal family who lived in a time were there wre so many unkowns and the best way they could understand or accept things was to place the unknown under "mystics", "omens", "witches", etc. etc. .

I think its the symbol of a 'red herring' (sorry agrbear) ;D -actually I doubt anyone in the family went to all the trouble of getting out a mirror, standing on a chair, and then carving/cutting it into the wall backwards... If Alix wanted a magical good luck sign why didn't she use her favourite swastika?
I think that's it's a bit like 'the face of Elvis on the plains of Mars' ;) - after all if Ivan and Natasha Filipilov (John and Jane Doe) lived there not NAOTMAA would anyone worry about these "mystic signs ...I think not.
ahh well enjoy yourselves

Someone did.
