They call it the Holy Grail of cryptography.This is the Voynich manuscript, the most enigmatic book written more than 500 years ago and whose language, whose language, has not yet been translated.It is a wonderful volume full of drawings and illustrations of diverse themes, fascinating topics that would be of great interest to scientists and historians but because nobody, absolutely nobody, has been able to translate it, but we have not told you everything yet.The Voynich manuscript hides still more mysteries that will surprise you...
The strangest book in history and a challenge for scientists
A while ago we talked to you in Mysterious about the most curious and inexplicable objects of our world.Well, the book Voynich was among them.And its fascinating mystery is not only focused on the fact that no expert has been able to find out what language is written, but also all the themes and illustrations there it reflected They still do not seem to correspond to our planet.That is, we see drawings of astronomy, medicine, botany, biology and pharmacy, which do not exist in our world.No one has ever seen the plants that appear there, nor the animals, nor the gadgets that there are reflected...
It has been dated that its antiquity, does not go beyond the 500 years .But what we see in each of its pages does not fit in any historical period known.We can contemplate everyday situations where human series perform incomprehensible activities, also using objects that nobody finishes recognizing.And what is more impressive: plants, flowers, trees...where do they come from? Nobody knows.
Scientists have been able to identify a number of bacteria, viruses and curious cells, which do not correspond to our known biology.Fascinating, no doubt.But curious is also to inquire a bit at the origin of his finding.The manuscript owes its name to Wilfrid M.Voynich , an illustrious gentleman who found this book in a Jesuit library near Rome, in 1912.Although, in fact, Kircher belonged to a 17th century German cryptologist, who In turn, he received from one Johannes Marcus Marci, rector of the University of Prague at that time.He, in turn, got it from Georgius Barchius , an alchemist who worked in the court of Rudolph II.
Inquiring a bit more about its origins and records, it seems that this book emerged from the library of Johannes Kepler , who between the years 1584 and 1588 lived in the court of Rodolfo.Kepler was a great fan of alchemy, mathematics, astrology and astronomy, and also had many manuscripts and belongings of a character he admired in particular: Roger Bacon.Therefore many think that the Voynich book originally belonged to Roger Bacon, who supposedly entity, and according to many, would be the true author of it.
But why did he do it? If Roger Bacon was the author of this curious manual of indecipherable language, what reason led him to create such a wonder of the strange? Recall: Roger Bacon was a Franciscan monk and great alchemist who spent much of his life researching on the philosopher's stone and the elixir of eternal life.Perhaps the Voynich book is the result of his research.Some achievements that I camouflage with an encrypted language.A very complex and impossible language that nobody has managed to decipher to understand the secrets that are hidden there...A challenge, no doubt.
What meaning do you think this book has ?
