Voynich Manuscript

#1 Post by billbillt » Mon May 11, 2015 5:30 pm

I am sure most of the people on here have heard of this... In case you haven't, here is a link to this strange manuscript... It is not a hoax... the vellum paper it is written on has been carbon dated to the early 15th century(1404-1438)... It is full of wonderful and mysterious colored drawings and it is written in a text that defies interpretation...

I think it was probably written by the same guy that did a lot of the 1980s VCR instruction manuals.

Seriously though, if it still cannot be deciphered by the best code breakers, I am leaning towards it being an elaborate and very skillful hoax of sorts. But an interesting book, all the same.

If it is a hoax, it has survived 577 years of research.... I just thought it would be of interest to a few...
