    My husband has a paper copy of the Georgia Guidestones. He printed it out onto cardstock, cut out the pieces and glued it together. The center piece has holes in it that we have yet to find out what they are for. I think they have something to do with the sun. Also, there appears to be a reddish stain on top in one of the corners of the top piece.

      That makes sense because all the evil cults like masons can be traced back to the worship of the sun or to earlier groups who worshipped the sun. The masons nowadays worship the "light bearer" or "the morning star" which are both the names of Lucifer/Satan. Both of which still bare resemblance to worshipping the sun or a being of light. But pretty much all of the cults, secret societies originate from groups that worshipped the sun, well before Christ.

Simon’s description of the Rohonc Codex’s contents, mysterious plants never seen before and strange language(s), sounds exactly like the contents of the Voynich manuscript. Is the Rohonc Codex another book very similar to the Voynich manuscript, and both are associated with Wilfried Voynich? Or did the channel mix up the two books?

    Book cyphers.
    If you want to encrypt a message with zero chance of it ever being unlocked, base your 'encryption key' on the text of a book.
    Page 17, line 9, fifth word, first three letters.
    Depending on which edition of 'Gullivers Travels' you have in your hands, those three letters are gonna be different.
    The famed Vornoi manuscript is thought to be a book cypher based on private manuscripts combined with a unique alphabet with characters for 'th' and 'ch' and other common letter combinations.
    Weird spellings mess up letter-distribution analysis: the letters 'E' and 'T' are used a lot in English, not so much in other languages.
    If don't know the language of the original text, you are gonna have a lot of guess-work ahead!
    *
    Then there are the Monkey Codes: truly random characters in one message that 'key-in' to seemingly random characters of a subsequent message.
    If you don't know the rules for merging the two messages (and which two messages to merge!) it's an unsolvable problem!
    These are crypto challenges that quantum-computing still can't crack.
    *
    Block-chains and all that sophisticated encryption behind fake currencies is based on using math to obscure data while creating a process that can reveal the data at some future date.
    The more steps in the process, the more convoluted each step becomes, the harder it is for a third-party to crack the code.
    The effort to create these steps becomes greater the farther along the block-chain one goes; bit-coin 'miners' are folks calculating 'next steps' for a block-chain...
    Quantum-computing eats this kind of coding for breakfast...
    Some time in the next year or two, expect to see a news article proclaiming that Google Computing or some other quantum-machine has cracked a major currency block-chain and revealed the originating key that started the chain.
