Ever heard of the Voynich Manuscript? It is a mysterious 250-page book that was purchased by a Polish book dealer, Wilfrid Voynich in 1912.
It is written in an unknown language that has never been deciphered and is written from left to right. It is filled with drawings of symbols & people and illustrations of plants that have never been recorded!
Voynich has been accused of creating the book as a hoax but it has been carbon dated to the 1400s so the mystery continues!
@yoreexplorers This was covered by my favourite podcast This Paranormal Life. Well worth a listen.
@fletchpj I will do! Thanks for the recommendation
@yoreexplorers I've got to get a look at this thing!
@Zwieblein its cool isnt it
@yoreexplorers It's the type of thing I've fantasized about doing ever since I knew what #language was—but then end up relying on, say, #JorgeLuisBorges to provide in a shared language sans pictures. #books #reading #booktodon
Very cool. Thanks. I found it online, mysterious.
