Deep inside Yale's Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library lies a 240 page tome. Recently carbon dated to around 1420, its pages feature looping handwriting and hand drawn images seemingly stolen from a dream. It is called the Voynich manuscript, and it’s one of history’s biggest unsolved mysteries. The reason why? No one can figure out what it says. Stephen Bax investigates this cryptic work.

‘After 100 years of frustration’
Someone please carve that into my grave
I find amusing that you think you can live 100 years.
Another frustration to the list, I guess.
Thucydides yep, the frustration was that I actually lived to 100 yrs and one day, a final frustration
😂😂
Thucydides your comment gives me frustration
Mia Crapnell Lmfao 😂
Oh, so when some medieval guy does it it's "mysterious" and "captivating", but when I do it I "have terrible hand writing" and "need to go back to school"
Good writing kid wrote this
Scientist : omg so mysterious and beautiful
Me wrote this
Scientist: argh I tough a demon wrote deez look at the handwritten
If it's ancient then it's epicccccccc
lol, ruclips.net/video/OwbkIzrcZIE/видео.html
hahahahah
In a 100 years our bad handwriting would probably freak the future generation out, then they thought it was something mysterious even tho it was just our exam answer😂
Can't imagine how many languages the humankind has forgotten.
657.
We remember a lot, but dont realize how much we forgot
@@Sonicbro-xx6sg It would lot more than that... Some say In India alone out of 1800+ languages, only 1600+ lives today.
wow I never thought of that
ruclips.net/video/OwbkIzrcZIE/видео.html
@@dhineshr1771 I mean only 200 less languages. Compare to the whole. Doesn’t sound that bad
Honestly, that book looks beautifully and artistically made. Especially those handwritings.
I thought so as well.
ruclips.net/video/OwbkIzrcZIE/видео.html
yes the script looks very beautiful, like bit like arabic and russian script but totally different. Fascinating. The drawings are beautiful too
@@Triadii wouldn’t say arabic but it does have slavic tone to it
Certainly not the product of a conman! The work and time required for this is astronomical.
Looks like it might be light language to me. Which is frequency. Just like everyone and everything in the multiverse... just my theory.
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.
The ultimate troll, I'd be laughing in my grave 😂🤣🤣
I think that's what it is
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.
introvert kid: *draws things out of boredom*
people today: *the world's most mysterious book*
@hadia ahmad I like this one 👌😂
lol, that is the most organized scribbling ever. ruclips.net/video/OwbkIzrcZIE/видео.html
@@NoCommonMeasure oh you don't know how organized we make our fictitious writing that made no sense.
@Gustavo Vitor ur not bad urself ☺️ u look cute too 😉
@@nicholsencalope3543 wtf
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.
Any chance this books is yours?
I think so too!!
This! Probably a small group of nuns or monks who joined their order for the regular meals rather than their faith.
Bro its the same handwriting the whole book, tho good theory!
😂😂😂😂
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
Imagine if someone randomly watched this video and understood what it said.
That's what i was going to say
@@misunderstandingthing6487 lmao
Bruh...

ITS JUST THE LOST HOMEWORK OF AN ANCIENT KID
This comment is so underated
@@k.t5249 damn..I was gonna say the same
That probably failed biology
@Avni Gupta lol
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
@@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.
Also can we take a moment to appreciate the stop-motion technique used to create the graphics for this video?? absolutely amazing creativity !
What software they using
Ngl, that handwriting looks so beautiful, like when you see it the language feels familiar but you can't read it
Might be the language we see when we dream
@@ngcstudios4704 I’ve read letters/signs in my dream and they’ve all been in English.....
Back to the drawing board.
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
👍👍👍
Armyyyyy! 💜
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.
As a med student .. I can totally relate!
The book and ink you use isn't designed to last. What will be left after a while will be just blank pages.

sarahchannel100
I know but I’ve heard experiences that my Cousin as had (she’s in Med School), plus she’s in college. *wish her luck*
I must say that this is one of my dreams as a kid: create a written language and write a book using it. Can't wait for the day it will be done.
Well then, what are you waiting for?
if it wont be done now, then it wont be done ever
It's called a conlang. You should try it
I feel it almost matters less what it actually is, than how much joy and thought has gone into it. If we learn someday that it holds the secret to remaining zit-free, or just understanding, and exploring a wonderful mystery, I am happy this object exists.

I believe that at the time that it was written the information in this book was very valuable. People had somewhat limited understanding compare to today. There are plants that could kill you, and plants that can make you well. Perhaps this book is a little about what was usable back then.

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 episode of documentary series "Czech Mysteries" by Czech TV was about this book (since it is connected to Prague). It is unfortunatelly only in Czech language but it is very well done (much more detailed - 40 minutes). I wish you guys could see that, you would not be like "It's just some random medieval dude's dairy" after that.
This is an intriguing story and I think I have a wild idea as to what it might be.
Imagine in 1000 years. Poeple will be confused why we have posters of a dead gorrila and why we had pictures with white text at the top and bottom of the page.
An idiot cant solve a meme without knowing the meme
An idiot I disagree that they'll be confused unless civilization crumbles between now and then which I suppose is likely with the way things seem to be going. if civilization is unbroken then there won't be any problem understanding the language. like we can understand old languages no longer in use for the last 2000 years and older.
An idiot normie
I think the knowledge of memes will be in future history books and they'll learn about how sad of a generation we were. Like instead of knowing who the creator of Mona Lisa was, they'd have to know the creator of Pepe the frog.
Lol, no one is gonna remember us bruh
it’s comforting to know my doodle book may be studied in the future

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 : )
It has astrology signs and plant drawings. Maybe something alchemy related. Obviously if it was a true complete language that's used here, maybe they are just using a different letter script. It's fairly difficult to artificially create a complete language. Even Tolkien's Elvish/Dwarfish were not fully complete.
Plot twist : The writer actually wanted to make a drawing book for kids but used auto-generated subtitles instead
No he didn't.
🤣
Lmao
Have you tried turning it off and then on again?
Aneesa Moss!!
Yes, but it just won't work!
i think it may be a language but only it is unsolved

It was Voynich...I'm about 90% sure on that. No had ever heard of this book until Voynich brought it in 1912. He was pretty much a genius. He knew where to get the paper and how to make the ink
2:06 was gold! "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine", from "A Christmas Story" (1983). 😆
It is so painful to think that there might be important breakthroughs and knowledge humanity has discovered and then lost in translation
Yes! Was thinking the same thing but ppl here are too much into making memes and jokes..... thank you
Oh you will be hurt more to think about how many thousands books and artworks have been destroyed by accidents, disasters and movements (nazism, communism, revolutions etc...) that we can actually read but they've gone forever.
Agreed
There aren't any. It wasn't until very recently that people figured out that metals can't be transmuted and diseases are caused by germs. Most "ancient knowledge" is nonsense unless it was an eyewitness account of some rare event. Even the surviving wonders of the ancients are nothing more than large stacks of rocks.
It's been translated, and I hate to break it to you, it's just a book written about how to use plants as medecine (the most basic book ever) so no lost knowledge there, the language is ancient turkish if you were wondering
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. 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.
I think I saw a video where people figured out that the book was written in Turkish! Although, the author(s) probably didn't know how to properly spell the words they heard, so they just wrote down what they heard. Do take this with a handful of salt, not just a pinch, because I might be wrong about a thing or two. I hope this helps anyone? If anyone is curious, I think you can still find the video. Type in "Decyphering the Voynich Manuscript" or something into the searchbar, you might find the video

My theory: a constructed language made and used by a small group of friends who were either nuns or monks (mainly because they were the groups most likely to have the knowledge and ability to write, illustrate, and bind the manuscript) that created their own fantasy world/story. Our ancestors weren't as dour as we portray them. I'm still interested in knowing what it says but this is my best guess as to what it is.

I am time traveler and this is my’s first time seeing this book,It is a dialect of Latin and Arabic spoken off the coast of Massila ,france , I personally used to call it massilen because modern historians didn’t name it [the dialect]. It’s possible it’s not even from Europe [the book], I remember people trading into ports of massila used to speak this dialect,it emerged in the glory days of massila died out slowly during 1700s it is an ancient language but people as they were traders didn’t write much in it. The book is just a language tradesmen around the massila to Arles region trading good from Egypt n others.

For me I saw and read a fantastic Arabic book. The same text address 4 different sciences. If you read it normally you read Law, and if you read it vertically you read Arabic Grammer and if you read it vertically last letter from each line you read history and if you read it vertically the letter from mid or the line you read Art...I hope I managed to recall it correcly.
It’s an old book and may be in those days the medium used for writing was not easily available
In the recent copies of the book they use different color each subject which makes it very readable.
