An unsolved mystery - The Voynich Manuscript
I was messing around on the internet this morning and came across a website featuring unsolved mysteries. Two of them I have looked at before, namely the Dyatlov Pass incident and the Taman Shud case. If you thought those two mysteries were weird then you need to take a look at this. The Voynich manuscript has been described as "the world's most mysterious manuscript". It has been dated as being written in the early 15th century (1404–1438), and is named after the book dealer Wilfrid Voynich who purchased it in 1912.Some pages are missing, but there are now about 240 existing pages, most with illustrations. Much of the manuscript resembles herbal manuscripts of the 1500s, seeming to present illustrations and information about plants and their possible uses for medical purposes. You are probably thinking so what? Well this is where it gets really weird. Most of the plants do not match known species, and the manuscript's script and language remain unknown.
