Voynich Manuscript Decoded | The Mysterious Book Finally Solved?

For 600 years the Voynich Manuscript has stumped scholars, cryptographers, physicists, and computer scientists. Now, a researcher in Germany has claimed to have finally decoded the most mysterious book in the world.
The Voynich Manuscript is a 240-page medieval codex written in an indecipherable language, full of bizarre drawings of strange plants, astrological symbols and... lots of... naked women.
The Voynich Manuscript defies classification and has also defied comprehension. Cryptologists, FBI operatives, respected medievalists, mathematic and scientific scholars, skilled linguists... they've all been left stumped. Even Alan Turing took a crack at it and came up short.
It's written from left to right and although it's never been "officially" deciphered, there's definitely a structure to it. Researchers have concluded that the language has 20 to 25 distinct letters but nobody has been able to figure out how the letters fit together.
According to cryptanalyst Elizabeth Friedman in 1962, anyone who attempts to translate it is "doomed to utter frustration."
Let's find out why.

    There's a Turkish father and son duo who believe a person basically wrote a farmer's almanac in old Turkish. However, the author wasn't exactly literate and had to phonetically spell out the words. So, imagine writing words based on how they sound and not how they're actually spelled. Which makes sense as it has a clear linguistic pattern, but also seems like gibberish. It's the most convincing theory out there.

    @@TheWhyFiles Could be someone who lived in an area with a different spoken language than he learned as a child. Learned to write, but used his native language. He could have further mangled the words enough to make them only easy to read to him. (there is that trick, that words where the letter position are shuffled can still be read, when reading it quickly ... as long as you are trained in the alphabet that is) The contents might be just a collection of contemporary ideas in astrology, alchemy, herbalism, medicine. Stuff that might have been controversial enough (inquisition and such), to keep it in that cipher. I would not expect some groundbreaking knowledge from it, once its translated. At most, a nice tasting recipe for a tea.

    I wonder if they've considered this book to be the work of an alchemist. In the early days of alchemy, practitioners were known to not only keep detailed journals of their experiments, but also to record them in a secret code language so competitors couldn't steal and duplicate their work. They would form tight-knit pods no more than 4 alchemists in the general area. The small group would each learn the language so they could safely communicate only each other and still keep their research safe. The time frame fits, as does the herbs and flowers illustrated. I think this manuscript may be an alchemist's journal...Not that I can do anything about it. I'm just wondering if any of the super-smart people looked at that angle.

    New sub as well. I’m 65 yrs and have an old library of...just about everything you cover. This episode reminded me of a book my brother found in 1981. It was 100 years old and called OAHSPE. A "channeling" by Angels through a Dentist in Boston. It is....very interesting. Written in the times of the Ok Corral, it describes nuclear powered anti gravity spaceships, talks of men and Angels, and has chapters written by Thor, Osiris, etc, who all say that "they were once mortals". There is a section on science that is interesting to say the least. My collection.of antique books is extensive, and I've found no other book that was "less verbose" in explaining our purpose. No "Steiner-Blavatsky" nonsense with confusing dialogue, just simple history and future combined. You...cannot read this book "overnight", but I promise you will be intrigued. Those adherents to the dogmatic religions will find this off putting.....but those who are open minded and spiritual will have difficulty putting it down. Thanks for the great show, and I hope someday you could do a number on this...as it has done a number on me. BTW- this is the first mention of the creation of planets and galaxies by centrifugal and frictional force I have seen.

    As someone with temporal lobe epilepsy and can have minor visual hallucinations (like Alice in wonderland syndrome) and audible hallucinations (sometimes voice like sounds) are just a drop in the bucket of things the brain can do during a seizure or other types of psychosis. Could the writer have been trying to make their own language? That wouldn’t explain the reasoning behind the drawings and you’d think the writer would have made some sort of translation if the writer ever wanted it passed on and used by the masses. One of the symptoms of temporal lobe epilepsy is hypergraphia. Also my brain just about makes up its own world before I actually black out. When going into one while reading the letters turn into hieroglyphics. I get Jamais vu and the feeling that I’m someplace I’ve never been or never seen and that there is someone or something that isn’t happy I’m there. I’m usually filled with intense horror and fear. I’ve had a couple of ecstatic seizures though where I felt like I was being pumped full of energy and I was about to figure out the universe and why I’m here all before blacking out. Obviously I’m not trying to push that the writer had a type of epilepsy but more so just a type of psychosis/hypergraphia? Or possibly hypergraphy? I mean someone/people had to create each handwritten language used at some point in history.

    I recall having a conversation with an old sage once and this book came up. He laughed and said it was nothing particularly special, he told me this : There was once a Saudi Prince that had a harem, the girls he kept were not allowed to speak with each other and the only thing they were allowed was literature. They however devised a way to communicate. Alike pig-Latin, they had a type of secret written formula which they used in this book. The pictures are more a type of graffiti to throw off the guards that would check for messages which would have resulted in a punishment. The writings are more of a shared diary between the women which would be homeopathic remedies for headaches, menstrual cramps/pains and just things they had seen or dreams they had. There is nothing mysterious or magical to be found in it and alike pig-Latin, unless you knew it, there was no dictionary to decipher it. Just thought I'd share what I heard.

    I was thinking it was a specialized language from some group, maybe a cult. But your comment makes a lot of sense and answers why there are all the women throughout. Its also truth that harem women were made to be silent. The plants are probably recipes, remedies, and tinctures used in that time. This is the most plausible answer I have found for this enigma. I like it!👍

    The beginning of the text reads as follows in Hannig's interlinear translation: "If Ackersmann groaned about times, who was sitting comfortably in the village, he ate a soup - he got sick after he had stopped digesting." Then the farmer goes to a quack who missed him a misdiagnosis and returns home: "Fearfully he locked the room, the front door too." Nobody would have expected that as the beginning of one of the most famous books in the world. Hannig translates three subsequent short and just as puzzling passages, then the introduction to the water lily picture.
