Voynich Manuscript
Anybody ever hear about this thing?
I found it on a page discussing the 6 insane discoveries that science can't explain. Here's how they described it:
Quote:
The Voynich manuscript is an ancient book that has thwarted all attempts at deciphering its contents. And it’s not like some idiot just scribbled a bunch of nonsense on paper and went, “Figure THIS out, f-ckwads.” It is actually an organized book with a consistent script, discernible organization and detailed illustrations.
It appears to be a real language–just one that nobody has seen before. And it really does appear to mean something. But nobody knows what.
There is not even a consensus on who wrote it, or even when it was written.
Expert military code-breakers, cryptographers, mathematicians, linguists, people who get paid to find and decipher patterns, have all been left unable to decipher a single word.
As you can imagine, proposed solutions have been all over the board, from reasonable to completely clownshit. Some say it’s an unbreakable code that requires a key to solve. Some say it’s a hoax, and a damned fine one if we do say ourselves. Some say it’s glossolalia, which is the fine art of speaking or writing something you don’t understand but that is being channeled to you by God or aliens or whatever (note that the word was chosen specifically to make you sound retarded when saying it).
