Deep inside Yale's Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library lies a 240 page tome. Recently carbon dated to around 1420, its pages feature looping handwriting and hand drawn images seemingly stolen from a dream. It is called the Voynich manuscript, and its one of historys biggest unsolved mysteries. The reason why? No one can figure out what it says. Stephen Bax investigates this cryptic work.

I've read that it is probably one way smugglers used to get out secret knowledge from a city state.
Like when they were sentencing to death any master glassmakers trying to leave the Republic of Venice, in order to preserve the glass making secrets.

It is MARTIANS
when they visited earth they saw girls bathing which felt really weird for them

its weird right. DUH.

Looking at the patterns of the text it seems to be a cipher but then who will write a such diversified book as a cipher
Then it must be some gorgotten script
Well that's y it's mysterious

Video: I hope we can figure out the text of this mysterious book so we can learn more about cultures we already know so much about.

I have a similar book in my house. My future generations will be baffled by the red remarks and some goofy drawings of ghosts in the book.
It's my Maths notebook.
