"Annuit Coeptis." translates to "He has favored our undertakings."

"Novus Ordo Seclorum," translates to "A new order of the ages."

[Just Bob]

The Latin above the pyramid, ANNUIT COEPTIS, means "God has favored our undertaking." The Latin below the pyramid, NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM, is interpreted to mean "a new order for the world."

[Schatzy]

He has favored our undertakings

[Bugmann1974]

 

"Annuit Coeptis" Translates to "He (God) has favored our undertakings"

 

"Novus ordo seclorum" Translates to "a new order of the ages"

 

"E pluribus unum" Translates to "From many, one"

[L1ncolnF4n]

He approves our undertakings = annuit coeptis

 

A new order of the ages = novus ordo seclorum

[ritter]

annuit coeptis means "he favours our undertakings" and novus ordo seclorum means"a new order of the ages"

[bsshog40]

ANNUIT Coeptis= Favors Endeavors

Novus Ordo Seclorum= New Order of the Ages

[rrantique]

the Latin phrase Annuit Cœptis, which together "allude to the many signal interpositions of providence in favor of the American cause".[4] Taken from the Latin words annuere (to nod, approve) and coepere (to begin, undertake), the motto literally means "he/it favors the things having been begun." The official translation given by the U.S. State Department, the U.S. Mint, and the U.S. Treasury is "He (God) has favored our undertakings."[5]

Novus Ordo Seclorum is shown on a ribbon below the pyramid and is a phrase taken from the fourth Ecologue of Virgil. In English, the Latin seclorum is the genitive plural form of the word saeculum, meaning "generation, century, or age." Thus the motto can be translated as "a new order of the ages". Written at the base of the pyramid in Roman Numerals is MDCCLXXVI or 1776, the year the United States Declaration of Independence was signed.

 

"E PLURIBUS UNUM" (From many, one)

 

[MunkyMan95]

Novus Ordo Seclorum - "New World Order"

Annuit cœptis - "He approves our undertakings"

[BigBob]

The Latin above the pyramid, ANNUIT COEPTIS, means, "God has favored our undertaking."

 

The Latin below the pyramid, NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM, means, "a new order for the ages." Franklin D. Roosevelt wanted to change the meaning slightly to "a new order has begun," wanting to connect that with a "New Deal

 

 

In the Eagle's beak is a ribbon on which you will read the words: "E PLURIBUS UNUM", meaning, "Out of many, one".

 

[jtryka]

Providence favors our undertakings.

[praedator-migration]

God has favored our undertaking

[DC Dawg]

Above the Eye of Providence: Annuit cœptis means "He has favored our undertakings."

Below the pyramid: Novus ordo seclorum means "New Order of the Ages."

On the ribbon in the eagle's beak: E Pluribus Unum means "Out of many, one" or "From many, one."

 

I believe that's all of them!

[physics-fan3.14]

I strongly protest! Take a look at the one dollar bill - E pluribus unum is quite clearly also on the back, and is also latin. This question is only correctly answered by the translation of all 3!

 

I'm really getting tired of y'alls trivia questions being won by incorrect answers. This has happened several times, and is really a poor reflection on you guys.
