      I heard a story 30 years ago where apparently an inventor had discovered an alternative power source for vehicles, but was paid rather a lot of money for it to never get developed as the oil industry would have collapsed. Whether it was true or not, who knows. I believe there have been a lot of things invented way before their time that have been forcibly halted as they would have caused too many problems by their existence.

    Given that the Library of Alexandria was built in 283 BC and wasn't burned until 270 AD, the knowledge of this device (perhaps a blue print) may have been stored in Alexandria during the time of its creation. The scrolls or parchment related this device could have been one of those lost knowledge in Alexandria.

    i'm sure someone already considered this possibility, but the fact that there are no mistakes or corrections in the manuscrips could mean that it's a copy and the original is much older. back then many old books were preserved in monasties, where monks rewrote them page by page even if they couldn't read them.

    I know that this is a very old video but a thought occurred to me while watching this about the manuscript. They state that the carbon dating doesn't match too far back for it to be further than the 18th century. Now this is a theory and it might be a stretch, but what if this manuscript isn't the original? Thoughy2 says there are no correction errors in the pages. In that case it sounds like it might have been copied by a source. Now two ideas come to mind here. Either this book was once stored in the Vatican, where they transcribed some old texts that have collected and it somehow ended up in an auction. Or, this could be a copy from a surviving remnant of the library of Alexandria. It was told that this library had many manuscripts and when a new manuscript was donated they would make a copy and send the copy with the donator and keep the original. Now I am not saying that this is one of those original copies, but what if it is one of the ones that is a copy of the copy. Thay could explain the age and why we don't have record of the language. Because if it was one used by Alexandria, thinking if they used a certain code when transcribing or if there was an ancient language that was lost, this could explain why we don't know about it. But like i said its just a theory.

      @Chris Bailey there would be nothing to teach if somebody didn't discover or experience first. In today's society everything is based on learning from somebody else, but in order to get here, we had different people, directly solving their own problems. And even so, mathematics are very ancient, who's to say certain civilisations, if left alone and with a different predominant values wouldn't be able to make great inventions. After all, whatever inventions have been made in history that we recorded, and how many geniuses appear throughout history, has a random factor to it. It isn't too late or too early for something. Also, the world today is way more in synch than it used to, civilisations wouldn't even know of each other sometimes, and would be very different.

    • @artorhen
      @artorhen 3 года назад

      @Chris Bailey I am not arguing that Judaism didn't hold people back. But we didn't have a good connection across the world as people and we don't really know if there were other civilisations that simply never came across Judaism. Or maybe it could even be civilisations that were scorn by Judaism. At the same time, Judaism did create a sense of order and morality in a time where you couldn't convince most people of certain concepts. And there is no point being angry about the past as it is simply going to be the same story of how we got this far, that doesn't mean that we can't do something about the present and the future. And in the end it doesn't matter if we get sooner or later to something, even that doesn't mean that the tables never turn in the long run if hipotetically we met a more advanced species.

    The clockwork Artifact probably is something lost in to time. The ancient world had many technologies seemingly beyond their time, such Roman concrete that we still can't replicate. It's workings aren't as bizarre when you think that the ancient Greeks figured out the passage of the planets etc.
    The Voynich manuscript is also very interesting. I doubt it's a cypher, as we'd have easily cracked it. And although a conlang is a reasonable explanation, nerds cracked Tolkien's Elvish (arguably the most complex conlang we know of) before he'd even released Return of the King. But it's possible. A language we haven't seen before is actually not that unlikely, though. There is much we don't know.
    Still a long way to go before aliens are confirmed as the cause, though. Extraordinary explanations require extraordinary evidence. And aliens is usually blamed when we don't know. Like, the pyramids and stone henge were certainly not aliens. Really cool works of ancient architecture. But not aliens.

(whats the point of writing this down with such precision if you can just remember it). Computers would be able to easily solve any logical algorithm created by a human. So the book is either written by some sort of extra terrestrial being, some sort of super advanced computer or even human that is smarter than any computer or person we have today. OR was created in extreme gibberish with no logical algorithm in which only the man/woman who created the book can understand which, as i mentioned before, would be extremely counter intuitive, inefficient and all in all a waste of time. To me a smart extra terrestrial would be a rather high probability considering all of the strange technology and buildings built many many years before they should of been. Another cool idea however would be if life on earth used to be many times smarter than we are now but discovered something that would've caused devastating effects so they figured out a way to restore everything and let humanity restart. However they left a few relics behind to give humanity as we know it a little bit of a kick start.

    • @wolffgang101
      @wolffgang101 6 лет назад +241

      Latin Ace We could build the Great Pyramid today and it wouldn’t require aliens, just like it didn’t back in ancient Egypt. As impressive as the Great Pyramid is, its engineering problems are known and solvable. Sure, a couple of dim-witted scientists in a NOVA television special weren’t up to the task, which only shows they weren’t up to the task. Engineers have articulated in great detail how the pyramid could have been built without modern machinery. Others have proposed that the pyramid blocks were fabricated ancient concrete. Scholars of Egyptian engineering are well informed in Egyptian construction methods, including the pyramids.And isn’t it odd how ancient astronaut theorists never seem to talk about the failed pyramid projects, like the pyramid of Huni. Maybe the aliens were on vacation for that one. And also the Bent Pyramid and the Step Pyramid of Djoser, which was built in stages after altering the non-pyramid burial mastaba style. These are all examples of human engineering, the Egyptians learned how to build pyramids gradually, trying new techniques and learning from failures. Pyramid engineering evolved through various transitions. The pyramids themselves demonstrate this quite clearly. To say they needed alien help is just insulting.

    For the Voynich Manuscript, I propose an alternative and far simpler explanation for its weird language characters. The author wanted to invent a new language, one thought up by themselves or with a group of people all taking part to refine the character letters.

    • @evelynzlon9492
      @evelynzlon9492 2 года назад

      Since the publication of this video, they deciphered the Voynich Manuscript. It's plainly written in hybridized old Egyptian and an obscure Slavic language which nobody bothered to research because so much of Eastern Europe was so poor until recently. Even the elite Polish guy completely ignored the languages in this family which he was unfamiliar with. The text rambles about how Kate Middleton is a devious slut who harnessed the "eye of God" for nefarious purposes. Plus she secretly bore and killed Prince William's newborn infant before she eventually married him. The futuristic illustrations attest to the author's keen prophetic abilities. I myself strongly suspected that Kate hid this infanticide long before I ever heard of the Voynich Manuscript. I also posted my suspicion that she slept with Prince Charles before marrying Will. I can't prove that exactly, but this must be the new drill for Royal wives, because everyone now knows that Meghan Markle was Prince Andrew's mistress before she married Harry.

    while i know that the vellum and ink and the necessary materials would have probably been expensive and hard to come by, but they could've scratched it in wood, or drawn it in the dirt or clay. humans can be pretty bloody resourceful. or even just the fact that the materials were bloody expensive and they didn't have much room for error could've prompted them to be very cautious when writing.

It could be a ruse of a charlatan to carry when entering a city, accompanied by theater of magic tricks, etc. While impressing a potential client, the book was produced with a flurry and consulted after flipping through certain interesting pages. That's my hypothesis.

      But a kid writing a language would come with rules. If they were to mimic their original language, then it would be easy to figure out vowels and consonants. The fact that it isn't easily solved like this is lead to believe it's more complex then a kid's writing.

      @@stevensheather4337 Again, not necessarily because the language I made when I was a kid had separate characters for ch, sh, st, letter combinations that appeared frequently in english, as well as I would put a line over any letter that repeated itself instead of writing the letter twice. A computer would view these as different characters and wouldn't be able to accurately decipher the text. Also, no one has brough up the drawings and how they do not look professional. They look like they were drawn at a child's level. Furthermore, a man devoted half of his life to deciphering this and made no progress. This leads me to believe that he overlooked something like that this was a child's work.
