In middle school my two best friends and I shared a diary we passed to each other. We wrote it in a language we made up. We also lost it and don't know what happened to it. Always assumed the Voynich Manuscript was the 1420s version of three best friends sharing a diary and then losing it to have it somehow become a great mystery.
This gives me hope that my old notebooks will be found in 600 years and they'll think of them as a compendium on medicine when in truth are just the hastily and poorly written notes of a med student
So your notes are actually both. A modern medical reference guide and hastily written notes. Make sure that you seal them in laminate and dont crease the pages so you don't depreciate the value.
Could you imagine having a book you drew nonsense in and then hundreds of years later people think it's some magnificent work of complex art and dedicate years attempting to understand its 'complexity?'
Yeah, they'd probably invent and discover things. Then they'd think it was divine wisdom from the ancient book, but in reality they made the theories themselves while trying to make sense out of nonsense.
I dont think someone would waste their time writing all those words and drawing all those picturse, in all of those pages for a prank millions of years later lmao.
@@tr1ppy795 True that tho, and the book is probably hella thick so how come they have managed to construct those random letters in the book. It's probably a forgotten language or something. But the question is they haven't found a trace or a clue.
I guess it's also important to note that folks couldn't just get a journal for fun back then, it was considerable effort to do the binding, material, resources, inks, and so on to make a complete tome, so that kind of dedication as well as its age is quite significant
once i wrote and spike an entire page in italian in my deeams, many years ago. something about the illuminati, which is crazy cause I never knew anything about them until recently. it was a lucid dream, it was crazy to suddenly know italian, and i was so confident i would remember that i didn't wrote it down. when i got up hrs later it was gone, just few words
Some medieval person invents a language and scholars are all like "what can it *possibly* be?!" Then 500 years later Tolkien does the same thing and scholars are like, "yeah, but that's just *genre* fiction."
Huh? The book in this video is a meme. All information disseminated through a system is a meme. Also, there is enough relevant lateral source material to decipher English texts so translation to a future language will likely not be an issue when looking back at our current writing through the lense of a future civilization.

There's this story in 1954 called the man from Taured. The man was visiting Japan for a business meeting. He spoke fluent Japanese and other languages. But when the officer checked his passport it looked old and the country that was issued was Taured. They asked the man for a interview. The man from Taured said that he's been visiting Japan and there hasn't been a problem, so the officers asked the man to point his country on a world map. He pointed an area between France and Spain and was confused because the Kingdom of Taured is not on the map. The officers put him in a hotel room, there were two guards watching the whole night. But when they came to check on him the next day, he had disappeared out of nowhere. They look every where for the man, and the widows are not broken or open too. Every thing that belonged to him had also disappeared. There has no sign of him ever since. They believe The man from Taured was a time traveler and instead of teleporting he probably accidently time traveled. I bet there is a connection between this book and this man from Taured. Or the book was from another parallel universe and was accidently teleported to this universe, maybe this man came to this universe to find the book.
Adding a few more details, when the airport checked his passport it doesn’t seem like a fake passport but the problem that the country he comes from doesn’t exist. When they call the Japanese company where he said he’ll have a meeting with them, they said there’s no meeting like that, and even the guy, when people asked him to point the Taured on the map, he was confused as well.

This is a fabulous and concise video of what the Voynich Manuscript is or might be. I paid £35 for the The Voynich manuscript facsimile which is a gorgeous full size representation of the real thing and beautifully illustrated and, although I'm the proud owner of this gorgeously created facsimile, this short video would definitely be all the average interested party would need to give them a superb taster of it. I love the sprinkled animations which are just right.....not too cheesy or intruding but just right. So, very well done to Stephen Bax. In this short video I believe you've captured the essence of the manuscript.......and a big thanks from Bonnie Scotland. My thoughts on this undecipherable mystery are that, since most of us who will look at it will try to logically find what the text is saying but, what if a group of people who don't think logically say perhaps autistic or similarly off the spectrum people were given the book to look at in an illogical and completely different way..................maybe then there might be some progress : )
Slingger Adheel difference : back in the 15th century, not that many people could read and write and when they did they would do it for important works not to write down English classes notes as you say. It would take a scholar to do it, not the average joe. Moreover, it's a book with hundreds of pages and coloured images. Affording paper and ink was surely not as easy as it is today. So your comparison is definitely irrelevant.
there's 7 of us siblings, my oldest brother invented alphabets (not exactly languages) and all of us learned it and used it all the time. i would write words in my notebook and my friends would be puzzled at it
“What do these bizzarre words and vibrant drawings represent???” I can imagine the guy who wrote saying the same thing about our memes or something. Lol
I had a friend who told me she used a secret code to write in her diary so that it was unreadable to anyone who might come upon it. This ancient mystery manuscript could very well be just someone's journal of their thoughts and dreams that they decided to write in a made-up script only they could understand lol.
And your very correct, it was finally fully translated and it was indeed someones diary. It had nothing of value in the writing it was just written in a forgotten language

4:10 I am really sure this is a Botany book, and how that picture relates to the fact that a female gametophyte of plants consists of 7 Cells.

This comment is incredible
It really woudln't matter as you would write it in the same language, which no one can read.
And good handwriting
Yup
just a diary with a secret language some kid and his friend made

That sounds romantic

You are 100 percent on the money! The H character is a medieval transfusion device! Look it up....it's either a vampire guide to healthy eating or coroners guide to the bacterias and organisms that infest a cadaver. Eeeek!

I need to start a journal in a made up language. I’m going to fill it with cryptic messages and illustrations. And maybe add little clues, letters and treasure maps, hiding small objects in remote places. Hopefully in 100 years my great grandchildren will freak out and think I was a witch or smt
(And then they’ll find this comment in the RUclips historical Archives and understand I’m full of sh eee t 😂)

Hi. "Forebears" means "ancestors". You probably mean your descendants.

Nice idea ... I am in. 😂
turns out it was the users manual for the VCR
I think that's someones sketchbook. So the person probably put stuff in there in a very organic way, like our thoughts work. One they he was learning about the stars, another he was bored in the garden, he may have documented all sorts of weird stuff he thought about.

probably just a secret diary with an invented alphabet to keep it private 😂 I do the same
please leave it with a translation for future generations.so they aren't as puzzled as we are
@@ceasefire2825 Of course I'll do it
If it is just an alfabeth we would already have a answer what it mean.
Letters in all language had specified number of apear, so after you write this long book, we could just look at which letter is the most popular in book and than look at which letter is most popular in English/German/France/Polish or other language. But it is not working.
What is more interesting is that not only single letter in language have number of apearing, but even a words have it - it is proven by Zipf's Law.

2:06 was gold! "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine", from "A Christmas Story" (1983). 😆
I want to make my own little Voynich Manuscript someday. That would be a really cool project!
SparkleRose I did one back in seventh grade. I still keep it. It was so fun to make and still is to read. I loved darl themes so I made it as a guide book for alchemy necromancy dark magic and weird creatures.
Do iiiit!
So, how it is going so far? You gave me a good idea btw.
Yeah I'd love to hear an update about how's that going?
The book took about 21 years to make I think
There's this story in 1954 called the man from Taured. The man was visiting Japan for a business meeting. He spoke fluent Japanese and other languages. But when the officer checked his passport it looked old and the country that was issued was Taured. They asked the man for a interview. The man from Taured said that he's been visiting Japan and there hasn't been a problem, so the officers asked the man to point his country on a world map. He pointed an area between France and Spain and was confused because the Kingdom of Taured is not on the map. The officers put him in a hotel room, there were two guards watching the whole night. But when they came to check on him the next day, he had disappeared out of nowhere.
They look every where for the man, and the widows are not broken or open too. Every thing that belonged to him had also disappeared. There has no sign of him ever since. They believe The man from Taured was a time traveler and instead of teleporting he probably accidently time traveled.
I bet there is a connection between this book and this man from Taured. Or the book was from another parallel universe and was accidently teleported to this universe, maybe this man came to this universe to find the book.
Armies posting theories everywhere!! 😂😂👍👍
@Mr. POPO What book?
Mr. POPO Well never know if it’s just a rumor or an actually story. But I just made a theory. I mean what if??
I can relate with Armys theories 😔 Bts has made us that way, lol
Adding a few more details, when the airport checked his passport it doesn’t seem like a fake passport but the problem that the country he comes from doesn’t exist. When they call the Japanese company where he said he’ll have a meeting with them, they said there’s no meeting like that, and even the guy, when people asked him to point the Taured on the map, he was confused as well.
imagine some random botanist from like the 13th century wrote this thing only for archeologists to decipher it soon after
What if this book is just the creation of 2 random kids who made up a secret language a long time ago
Uma Bratt I watched a documentary on this book, in it they said tests proved that there were very singular characteristics about the book pages! due to its quality it wouldve been extremely expensive and too lavish for a childs use
A language that only ultra doodling legends would understand
The book is written by a man who forgets to write his name.
LOL, just like a lot of students do on their assignments. It was a group project and the students failed to write their names on it. They got a 0 because the professor was strict and he just threw it into his file cabinet.
Or woman. You never know
BlueBerryKing, Only a man can do this stuffs coz woman's don't have the brains to do these things...
I smell a troll
Maybe he wrote his name on every single pages. How can you say he didn't?
Finally, I found a handwriting worse than mine, I may rest in peace now.
Lmao
Look closely, it's still more beautiful than your handwriting
no this handwriting is so much better than yours
@PolySaken yeah, i was about to say that.
@PolySaken Did you mean to say it's written by some prophet??? 😀😀
This is a fabulous and concise video of what the Voynich Manuscript is or might be. I paid £35 for the The Voynich manuscript facsimile which is a gorgeous full size representation of the real thing and beautifully illustrated and, although I'm the proud owner of this gorgeously created facsimile, this short video would definitely be all the average interested party would need to give them a superb taster of it. I love the sprinkled animations which are just right.....not too cheesy or intruding but just right. So, very well done to Stephen Bax. In this short video I believe you've captured the essence of the manuscript.......and a big thanks from Bonnie Scotland.
My thoughts on this undecipherable mystery are that, since most of us who will look at it will try to logically find what the text is saying but, what if a group of people who don't think logically say perhaps autistic or similarly off the spectrum people were given the book to look at in an illogical and completely different way..................maybe then there might be some progress : )
If scholars found my English note book in 300 or so years they'd probably think its from a lost culture or a new language or something.
Slingger Adheel difference : back in the 15th century, not that many people could read and write and when they did they would do it for important works not to write down English classes notes as you say. It would take a scholar to do it, not the average joe. Moreover, it's a book with hundreds of pages and coloured images. Affording paper and ink was surely not as easy as it is today. So your comparison is definitely irrelevant.
O my goodness this nerd don't get a joke
OMG those retards cannot see how bad the "joke" is.
Slingger Adheel the joke is saying that he/she has a really bad handwriting just to clarify to those who dont get it.
Sushi Wasabi yup, its barely legible now
one day i'll lose my diary and people will act the same way after seeing my handwriting. lol
😂😂😂
Same pal same 🤣🤣🤣🤣
LMFAOOOO
Oh my gawd. You so funny.🙄
Don't made me wheeze like that 😂😂 I have a sore throat its painful 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah! This book have been written by some medieval scribes who tried to develop new medications, but ended up getting high on some healing herbs.
Gavriel Papas weed
Highly support this theory
Maybe it was written there but we cannot read it 😏
"healing herbs"
Maybe if we smoke some weed, it’ll finally make sense.
there's 7 of us siblings, my oldest brother invented alphabets (not exactly languages) and all of us learned it and used it all the time. i would write words in my notebook and my friends would be puzzled at it
Siblings things ❤
“What do these bizzarre words and vibrant drawings represent???”
I can imagine the guy who wrote saying the same thing about our memes or something. Lol
Theory: it's an alien's journal of it's experience and findings on earth
it's possible given our little knowledge of other... lives(??)
Ancient alien astronaut theorists say yes
*its and sounds legit.
Why would aliens write a journal on vellum?
Nope it's been figured out
I had a friend who told me she used a secret code to write in her diary so that it was unreadable to anyone who might come upon it. This ancient mystery manuscript could very well be just someone's journal of their thoughts and dreams that they decided to write in a made-up script only they could understand lol.
And your very correct, it was finally fully translated and it was indeed someones diary. It had nothing of value in the writing it was just written in a forgotten language
@@Runningformylife1983 The manuscript has not been translated.
Except most cyphers made are easily broken. This, not so much
I don’t think so. The manuscript is all about plants and women how can it be someone’s diary?
@@Runningformylife1983 Your writing is terrible. You write your instead of you're, you fail to use apostrophes in your possessives, and you run sentences and phrases together without punctuation.
Thank you🙏 TED-Ed
I will watch this later.
Aight, now I have to spend my whole summer researching this thing.
Uniquegirl 10 Have fun, been doing it myself before.
Uniquegirl 10 the "stuff you should know" episode about it is a good start
Uniquegirl 10 I've been trying on and off for years to reasearch it ever since I saw a documentary about it, I've tried to get people I know interested in it, but nobody cares really but me, I think it's so cool
Find the book and go on a summer adventure with your sister. :D
HikariKouno21 yess!! I shall drag my friends along for an adventure!
The creator of the book is one of the oldest and smartest troll; the book is just a masterpiece of a troll.
Creators
XD its so true
This could be the answer
I knew this was about the Voynich Manuscript even before I clicked on the video, this thing has been puzzling people (and ME) for DECADES!
Same though. Fascinating book, and frankly it's beautiful, so even if it's a hoax, I don't see why that should diminish its value by much.
33Abstractions If it would be a hoax, it would be a very expensive ones. Books with illustrations and lots of colours werent cheap.
I thought it would be Codex Gigas.
all that in meticulous handwriting? it's too elaborate to be a hoax. its possible, but its a really really off chance.
I wouldn't be surprised if it were a Tolkien-esque work by a linguist, done for the sake of the literary and lexical artistry and challenge.
This was presented very well. Good watch
Imagine how the future would treat the non sensical and seemingly surreal memes of today
They won't.
They would treat it the same way we treated ancient arts from many cultures.
"I dont have enough money for chicken nuggets"
"I like yo cut g."
"A bread falling down"
But with technology everything is recorded and kept for our days so there's no mystery because we all know it's a meme. But no one can vouch for this book
I'm gonna make a book with random shit and bury it then in the future confuse future people
You stole my idea.
Let Siri try to read it.
Would siri know
She'd probably said something weird...

I am really sure this is a Botany book, and how that picture relates to the fact that a female gametophyte of plants consists of 7 Cells. Notice how they're coming out of a plant, and they're 7 in number and have the shapes of a women. If my concern is true, then the person who wrote this was an exceptional Botanist.
maybe he was a doctor
He would have used latin
Maybe he was THE Doctor
Doctor Who?
He was best medieval doctor in Europe and was writing the tale of how he found his pointy stick
but why floating castles and bathing women?
Next thing we know some guys on reddit are like,
“Aye we cracked it! Here’s what it says.”
And it’s like a bunch of 1400’s memes.
more like 4chan
