Albrecht Dürer Magic Square

Number Theory Level 3

The order-4 magic square Albrecht Dürer immortalized in his 1514 engraving Melencolia I, referred to above, is believed to be the first seen in European art. It is very similar to Yang Hui's square, which was created in China about 250 years before Dürer's time. (Wikipedia)

What is the sum of the missing numbers?

35 40 60 25 34

Should l delete it. I know it is easy but could be confusing to few.

It is easy, but it's also nice: 34 34 is the "magic constant" (the total of each row, column, long diagonal, and also of the mirror-image of the hidden cells in this problem...)
