The Voynich Manuscript: a book in an unknown language with bizarre illustrations. Who wrote it and why?
Despite countless efforts by cryptographers, the book's text remains undecipherable. The strange illustrations depict plants, stars, and mysterious rituals that exist nowhere else.
The Voynich Manuscript, named after the bookseller who acquired it in 1912, is a hand-written book in an unknown language or code, filled with strange illustrations of nonexistent plants, astral charts, and bizarre, unidentifiable scenes. Despite the efforts of top cryptographers, including those who successfully decoded WW2 ciphers, the book remains unread. Some theories suggest it's a lost natural philosophy book from ancient times while others believe it's an elaborate hoax. Yet, no one knows who wrote it, why, or what it means.
