Also, it is not just jibberish because experts who look at it say it is made like an actual language, that is almost impossible to feign and this was unknown both when the book was made and in 1912. Likely, it is either the worlds best code or it is a made up language. Something is likely written down there, be it alchemy, a secret cookbook, politics or something else. You can certainly fake something and get it on the "Ancient aliens" show but I doubt you could make something that fools the entire scientific community for over 100 years. Then again, there are more interesting things to decode then this, like Linear A for instance. It is one of the ancient languages we still can't read that could give us a lot of knowledge about the past.

    Great video as per usual! I LOVE learning about the Voynich Manuscript, it's so fascinating!! Regarding when Thoughty was discussing how new theories are brought up by new young scientists; then are batted down by older scientists, saying something like 'batting their theories out of the park' I got confused about what Thoughty was saying. Usually, the phrase "hitting/batting it out of the park" is a good thing. It refers to hitting a Homerun in baseball, literally hitting the baseball over the fence, and hitting one out of the entire park is a way of saying even better than expected, totally nailed it. I only explain because I realized that Baseball is known as America's favorite pastime, wasn't sure if it's a sport that's been adopted in other countries; which would explain why ppl in other countries would be unfamiliar with 'baseball phrases'.

    @@nostalji75 Well if its a real but undiscovered language or a fake language that was well designed it would be impossible to solve it without a point of reference. Take for example Egyptian, until we found the Rosetta stone, nobody had any idea where to even start with that language, so at best you could only guess based on context and while that might work a little you can't really be sure what any of the shapes actually mean because a single shape could have multiple meanings, and cultural background that nobody alive knows about. We've occasionally figured out languages from the past because there is a known language with a similar background and writing styles, but nobody really knows where this book comes from, and there are thousands of languages out there (roughly 6,500), with a hundred or so that look quite similar to what we see in the book. So it all just amounts to guess work rather then clear proof that someone has translated the language found within. If its a secret code (given the book looks like it has alchemist in mind, that is not unheard of, many alchemist in the past hid their notes in cook books, medical books and so on.) we'd need a cipher of some kind, a point of reference to start from. This can usually be guessed for more modern things, but you still need a point of reference to get started, we don't have that. Our only reference is the book itself and its unique artwork.

    This book was almost certainly written by a medieval alchemist. The subjects in the book are things that alchemists were interested in, and medieval alchemists were a weird, secretive bunch. Writing a book in code or an invented language was exactly the kind of thing they would do. The author may have been the only one who knew the “language”, or he could have shared it with a few initiates. All I know about alchemy I have mostly learned second hand from studying the life of Isaac Newton. The resemblance of the drawings and the overall look of the script to pages of Newton’s own writings on alchemy is uncanny. Of course the book wasn’t written by Newton, but the similarity in style and content does make you realize that Newton was essentially a medieval man. Anyway, this is pretty obviously some kind alchemical treatise. The fanciful plants make sense in the context of alchemy. Some of the drawings are really quite charming and were probably full of hidden meanings for initiates. The subsequent medieval owners of the book who did not know the code or language must have been driven mad with frustration, sure that the book was the repository of precious, lost ancient knowledge. Sadly, it is only the repository of nonsense because alchemy was nonsense.

    one of the leading theories is that it's a written language lost to time, and part of the problem with translating it is it's a language no one in modern times actually speaks. Ciphers are easy, trying to read text when you don't speak the underlying language? good luck with that.

    I've always had the theory that it's a priori conlang that's written in either a semi-syllabary, abugida, or a morpho-phonemic script meaning that some letters are only there for grammatical information, it also looks like there may be initial, medial, and final forms of certain letters as well as embellished forms that may serve the same purpose of capitals in English or German. as to what kind of conlang it may be, I think it would be a philosophical language since those pictures in the book look very abstract and philosophical languages are meant to convey complex thoughts and world views in a concise and understandable way.

    Isn't it possible that it is the only surviving manuscript in a forgotten language? I seem to remember a language going extinct not so long ago because one of the only 2 people who spoke it died (the two people were brothers somewhere in England, I think). It seems perfectly believable that there was a small civilisation of some kind with their own language and writing, that was either destroyed or fell into decay over time, leaving this mysterious manuscript behind.

    Could be... but the thing is, wouldn't the language have to be similar to a language that's been spoken in the area around it? Languages in civilisations don't appear out of thin air but rather evolve on the base of other languages/dialects. But I also find it highly possible that it is a secret language that has only been known to a small circle of people, like a clan or a secret organisation. The possibilites are nearly endless

    @@clorinde69 True, but the obvious layout and elaborate nature of the manuscript just screams that it was design to be a tutorial guide to teaching something. There is more there than prank, or cracks in this guise would show. But since there are none, it may be because the author sticking with a good intention would make the genuine appearance of the guide easier to begin with. Even if it is a work of fiction, it must be a passionate one, and written so professionally with probably a quill does not deter from its curious draw; It would be equally impressive and still as intriguing, none the less.

    Honestly, I had a look at it, what look like words, actually start to change, well the shape and structure of the words as you move through the book. In my opinion, the book is just art piece. You can see the words and structures are been written in what is made to resemble randomness, but as humans we are in capable of doing something like this and make it look random. That's why it looks like text, but if you look over the whole book you start to see that the "words" start to not appear after awhile and the structure of the writing changers. This is most obvious on the last few pages. This is an art piece in my opinion and a brilliant one at that. To my knowledge, this is the only book that is just art. It is an amazing piece of art.

    If it can't be solved then I assume it was never meant to be solved: - Someone made it as a troll/joke. - Someone made it to make a quick buck off selling a foreign text to a scholar. - Someone made it to identify people of the prior sort, an indecipherable text that a charlatan would tell you he could understand but an honest scholar would admit he couldn't. It could also have just been someone who lost their mind or was simply out of their mind on something. It could also have been someone was just trying to prove a point, that is perhaps that simply writing a book doesn't mean the words within a valuable. This is all IF it can't be solved.

Because he may have not wanted anyone else besides those close to him to know about them.

    I've read that the plants, at least, have been identified as medicinal herbs. My personal speculation is that the book was a medical text, written in code to keep out the prying eyes of competitors. The botanical section covers the herblore side of Renaissance medicine. Astrology at the time also played a large role in medicine at the time. The section on medicinal springs speaks for itself. The cosmological section might have provided background for some pet theory of the book's owner. Again, the medical connection of the pharmaceutical section is obvious. Recipes have always been part of doctoring; even before people understood the basics of nutrition, they saw that certain foods made sick people feel healthier.

    I just imagine an illiterate dude that earns his living by helping out putting books together and dreams about having a publication of his own, but being unable to read or write he just copies the style of all the books he's ever seen being made and boom! Another theory that seems quite plausible to me is that it is made by someone actually very well educated simply for jokes or as a doodle book. Tired of writing things that actually mean something he'd simply sit down and 'draw' the text meditatively. Yet another one I've got is that someone with a massive imagination simply wanted to somehow materialize their fantastic visions, but to avoid being prosecuted for heresy they just wrote it in incomprehensible, 'meaningless' gibberish, that would revoke specific memories to the author.

    *Here are my theories.....* 1). Maybe the book has a meaning only if there exists a secret code or manual for this book. The writer passed his legacy "the decoded alphabets or language of this book" to his later generations. But either they somehow lost possession of the book or cheat-sheet, A greedy person sold his family heritage, or the book ended up in the hands of biggies. 2). Or maybe it's pure gibberish done so well for the sole purpose of selling the book to a intellectual for a king's ransom level price. You know a nerd will pay any price for his favorite interest lol. 3) Someone was free enough to write his own fiction for his future grand-children. Like how Tolkien wrote Lord of the rings for entertainment purposes of his children. 4). The writer wanted to make a name of himself by leaving his legendary gibberish work before dying. But somehow forgot to write his name on the first page. F for the guy.

    Well that would explain a lot about it by any chance while writing it were you eating magic mushrooms and chucking back a few bottles of meed while puffing on some real good stuff all while sitting in an opioid den on a Friday night in June in the middle of a monsoon?

    A better mystery is how can Thoughty upload so many well researched, unbelievably well edited videos so often. My theory is that he has an army of mustachioed elves helping him.

    I know how. Easy take the text and lay its mirror image over each symbol to make the real symbol. Give each symbol a numerical value based on number of times it occurs in the text then compare with Sanskrit, Sumerian, Assyrian, and most importantly the earliest form of Turkish, etc, gives those languages character symbols a numerical value based on number of times it occurs in multiple texts, then covert to binary.
