Pretty much

It’s actually in a known language but the person who wrote it was dyslexic
I was thinking the same thing
I thought it was either an old Greek or Germanic language
or a doctor
İt's written in a Turkic Grammar structure.
Maybe it was written by Doctor Who
Maybe this is a local dialect from a village or area that didn’t have contact with the outside world, and then this is the only thing that was wrote down from this dialect of speak. And this is the «book of wisdom»
It's a meme book!
It is the "Book of Culture"
or a diary...
It’s in old phonetic Turkish, there was a breakthrough a few years ago.
*Plot Twist:* The 600 year old manuscript with mysterious language is basically the first ever Enchantment Table on Minecraft.

You have placed facts on hard stone

Tooooooooo
“Voynich Manuscript “ translates to “Dungeons and Dragons Player’s Handbook”
Benjamin Baumgart lol that’s what I’m thinking! It’s a made up language. I very well done made up language, but made up nonetheless. It’s a fantasy novel written in that language to help people get involved with the real book that was then lost to time.

Even if it turned out to be a hoax, it'll be a hoax worth studying, the creative mind who came up with the contents of the Voynich Manuscript is worthy of appreciation whether he or she's a con or thinker/researcher or just someone writing anything that came on his/her mind, maybe in his/her own made-up language (or the language they used to speak but is now lost)
When they translated it, it just said “peace on earth”, which of course was more difficult too understand.
Why couldn’t it just be some persons journal where he drew random stuff in his own made up language?
Not likely one makes up a language just for him or herself. It's usually among some group. In this case, it's a variation of Turkish.
yes, i once decided to write my own language but got bored...maybe that's just a bored yet dedicated person :p

*Confused Unga Bunga*

They forgot to mention that there was no known “mistakes” in the book, no evidence that the writer of the book made even the slightest error in his spelling or illustrations, no erases or over writing. O.o
So maybe he was copying from an older book
@@LeeMinhaoTheMinsterLee this ^
More evidence for it being a hoax, you make no errors if you aren’t following any linguistic or grammatical rules
It's may possible be just a handbook Written by a Traveller in Old-turkish.
callam burles yeah if the person was human
😂 it was just kids practicing writing 😂
Our memes will be seen like this someday.
Sorrow Mystic ツ doubt it
With cool plants and women? Yeah. Im 23 and i like plants and women
When time travel is existent and you can go back to historic events, I wager scientist will be disappointed with what they discover.

I was watching videos about this last night. Interesting, I love this channel.
Me, who received her degree in linguistics yesterday: "I'm super smart now! I can do it!"
Also me, having looked at the manuscript: "...Yeah, I got nothin'."
It's phonetically spelled Turkish. They had a breakthrough a couple years ago that infographics failed to mention or maybe didn't find that in his research.

David McIntyre sorry that was just the shittest one I’ve seen today.
*He is speaking the language of the gods*
LITERALLY
Why didn't we think about it
There was a guy and his son who translated it. It's basically written as you would speak, which made it so hard to understand. However, it's basically just a manual for growing plants. It's pretty cool. They have a CZcams video on here somewhere.
No, there wasn't.
Plot twist: It was the Minecraft enchantment table writing .
Imagine someone finding Simlish in the future and try to decipher it or finds videos of the Minions talking
A theory I find plausible is the idea that women wrote it, that the book is some kind of guide that was used in the training of midwives. The pages are decorated with mandrake roots and other plants associated with fertility and contraception. The mysterious language could be something similar to nushu, a language created by the women of an isolated Chinese village.
Since they couldn’t get an education because they were women, the village women created a sort of code that they could sew into fabric as a means of communicating secretly without their men finding out, delivering each other messages via scarves and other objects given to each other as gifts. This language remained secret for centuries because as far as the men knew, they were just women carrying on a hobby, just doing women’s work.
Maybe there’s something similar at work with the Voynich manuscript. Since women couldn’t be educated, they created their own language which sadly, unlike nushu, didn’t manage to survive. Midwives were sorely in need and it was important for there to be some kind of standardized training/knowledge in the field, some women created this text to serve as a means of training.
Of course, knowing how academia works, I imagine that they are more willing to entertain the idea of aliens writing the book than they are to consider women writing it.
You've been thinking pretty hard about this. Cool theory.
Some random kid 600 years ago: *scribbles*
Scientists: THIS IS AN AVENGERS LEVEL THREAT
I'm pretty positive that someone translated this, or at least the jist of it. It was on several different topics such as medicine, botany, astronomy, etc.
At least one of the manuscripts we find from a long time ago have to just be people scrwewing around wrting non sense
A book given to travelers tasked with drawing and mapping plants and biology, one traveler would pass it to the next and they all used a code kind of a universal language so they could all read and write in the book in one code together
I bet this book was considered to be the key to eternal youth/life at the time.
Or a gardeners journal about some rare plants and how to grow them.
Imagine it's just an ancient kids drawing and we are finding a translation to the LANGUAGE OF GODS
It's an alchemy guide book. It was sold to that king under the guise that it contained the secrets to immortality. Also Alchemy was far more complex than changing into gold, it involved astrology, herbalogy, and the search for the "elixir or youth", this is consistent with what appears to be the book's themes, as well as who owned it, and why.
As for the language, we can't know if it's a cipher, long-dead exotic language, or long lost invented language (medieval version of elvin or klingon, or some such), but we can and DO know that alchemists frequently obscured their work by writing in various codes, due to persecution by medieval kings who saw their work as blasphemy. This may also explain why the author is long lost, s/he may not have WANTED to be found.
Love ur vids!
If I remember correctly Turing didn't solve Enigma. He build more eficient decoding machine (Turing Bombe), but he based it on reaserch of the polish students.
I've carefully examined the photos of Voynich Manuscript on the internet and I concluded that manuscript was written by someone who was *high as a kite* or by someone who was mentally ill.
Since it has American plants, man has always assumed travel went from Europe to America. What if it was a civilisation that sailed from America to Europe who wrote the book. The book was made from Bison. The timeline merges with the European timeline. There is also the Turkish breakthrough.
No one:
Not a soul:
That one time traveler: *Insert evil laugh*
First Download I listen to these all at work. I am almost out of content I’ve watched so much!
I got a lil bit of content you may enjoy this morning too. Salute
What about a future language
Maybe someone had traveled in time and write this book in future language and maybe this plants are future plants
llriv
No there isn’t.
I thought it was recently decoded/translated to be an older Turkish language?
Austin Smith no it wasn’t, or they still aren’t 100% sure
@@CreatorsHubCreates sounds on the fence
Yes I seen the video of Turkish
It's just another theory nothing more
@@lightyagami3492 it's a theory that holds water.
Absolutely fascinating!
The scenario that makes most sense is that it was the work of a medium claiming to "channel" angels, aliens, ancient peoples, and the like. The rule of such things is that they draw on semiconscious creativity, usually based on the subject's knowledge of language.
This could be a language or it's just like a kid trying to write
Probably a hormonal teenager
Lol
Unlikely a kid given how rare and extremely expensive the materials for bookmaking were back then.
A very odd kid I bet
It's written in Turkic Grammar Structure, it's been confirmed.
My thoughts is that it’s some spiritual language probably a dialect from wiccans/witches/pagans kind of stuff that was unique to the area it was made and possibly only used by a single coven
That's likely, a secret society of individuals who were practicing ritualistic arts of the ancients.
Considering it had extremely descriptive illustrations, It could have been the collected works of multiple individuals all recorded in code by one of them.
It’s actually written in old Turkish. Someone familiar with the language figured this out and made a video about it titled “voynich manuscript revealed (2018)”
Can't believe I sticked with infographics from such a long time,it now has 8 mill subs

Why there's no soul that thought about searching the style of the art first then source out where could possibly the art are from. I know the book may be decrypted by now. Just an opinion. Hehe
You do it.
@@windowslogo3577 no i can't 😂. I'm no expert. Or you meant something else?😅
It is awesome to learn the hisstory about what happened to plants&humans 600years ago

I have my own theory: some scientists have found evidence of the Chinese settling in Wyoming and surrounding California oregan and western U.S so maybe it was a book written in an ancient Chinese language about the passed down stories about going to the continent of North America?
Yeah I can understand that theory. It could be wrote up and down, and not right to left. I also find a possibility that it could be wrote backwards.
@@That1TrashMan mirror
@@Mahlak_Mriuani_Anatman Exactly...
2:28 that's not jibberish or a code
It a popular language called arabic " عربي "
And the scribbles you see are letters
Nah, looks like Farsi because if you look closely the ba has three dots. It's a pa in Farsi alphabet
And the khaf has a line on top of it, it's ghaf
Oh sorry, looking at it again, it's Urdu not farsi
@@au9371 Its used in both.
@@au9371 it's Turkic, which has a considerable degree of Persian (Farsi) and Arabic influence
Great video hampered by too many ads!
Leonardo Davinci wrote backwards in old Latin when he didn't want his books read. I think it could be Hebrew because after researching it and studying the Hebrew language at that time as well as taking a look at the man's findings for having to "make corrections" for it to make sense I have found that most of the text can be translated from hebrew if you read it backwards.
Yeah but one thing though is nobody could understand the Volunich Manuscript
🤔… First, I’d have the pages scanned. Next, I’d digitally separate writing from illustrations. Then I’d have the computer compare ALL known writings, as far back as possible, and come up with close matches. I’d also have it compare, as much as possible, the different depicted pictures & such.
As for the plants being from Central America, two things: #1: when did the Vikings discover America? And due to relations between the Norse & the Knights Templar… could happen. #2: could there have been plants in the Old World (Europe, Asia, & Africa) that are related/similar to plants in the New World (North America, South America, Australia, & Antarctica)? This type of Methodology should be used for the rest of the book…
agreed
Imagine the scientist studying the book just for it to be a bane of Arthropods 5 book My fetch rewards code is 3572F
Fetch rewards is such a great app u scan receipts for points and you get free gift cards it’s 😜 crazy
Love the videos
I think this was just a diary of a person who doesn't want people to know his craziness because he puts in weird things. Like the plants he saw, then the star patterns he saw and people he's curious of.
My theory is that book contains knowledge way ahead its time so the writer write it with the language only he understands so nobody can accuse the writer of practicing witchery
Only theory of mine
Nah, it's just another book of language enchantment table on minecraft
@@virdo1 see, probably the writer was a prophet propheting about Minecraft 😅
Its like cursive and a rome language most i can see is b,c,e,d, and r, its like a spell or a rime portal but its no a alien beacus alien can right ni a book so maybe the first humas right it and the first humas pass it to their son and then the second humas write it and the other humans who evolved right it and the evolve human again write it until the scientist find out of it

What about minecraft enchantment table language?🤔
It's just old English in cursive, just written by a person who is tired of life ;-;
Did anyone else assume the "plants" were probably hallucinogenics, delirients, psychoactives or dissociative plants? Like this could have been an earlier *coded* guide on farming and harvesting illicit compounds
Imagine 60 years later and millions of dollars in research we find out it was a shitpost
Poor animal they don’t even know what there part of
Oof the person who can read that be lucky and rich
Some theories I have is that the manuscript could be a very very early conlang talking about it’s fictional world, or it could be an old Native American myth about a world.
Please PLEASE do a video on the Sun shutting down or "locking up"

thank you !
I can see it as being written by a family. When ur young u might make up a language with ur sibling(s). Also the plants could have just been something from the imagination. When you are trying to draw something natural u may eventually draw something that already exists without knowing it does.
