Watched a new documentary style movie about the Voynich Manuscript last night. It is available on Amazon .com prime.
Recent carbon dating of the vellum pages, places it at fifty years before Leonardo DaVinci was born. The tests were conducted at the University of Arizona. This information makes anything I had uncovered moot. Can a man be wrong about everything, his entire life? Kotah |

The "doing" of research and the mental exercises teach much more than they produce my friend.
And a well constructed crystalline theory is as beautiful to admire knowing it to be true or false. It seems the manuscript will continue to enchant and mystify. Warm thoughts my brother

Doc Steve, your post was uplifting and positive,'It has re energized me in my Voynich research.
The vellum may well have been old, but quality skins are durable, and may well have been available to Davinci after all. a recent enmail reply from Professor Edith Sherwood, assures me she and I will talk again. She has been studying the Voynich mss. for four decades. If she hasn't quit, why should I ? a new avenue of thought looks most promising. Kotah k |

Your research has led you to which theory Kotah ?

Pascal974, The theory is still in a process of discovery and evolution.
I believe Davinci was indeed the author. I believe as well that it references and identifies other members of the Illuminati who influenced portions of the knowledge it contains. Astrology medicine, herbalism, botany even optics are here to be uncovered. Symbolism is an important factor too. The naked pregnant ladies displayed, are not just ladies, they are a word play on the term bellles. That is about all I feel at liberty to say for now. Kotah |

Thanks for your reply Kotah, it would be great to hear about the process of discovery but it would take some time I guess !
I think, like you, that the early 15th century carbon dating doesn't invalidate your theory. Pascal |

Dorian, I DISAGREE with the notion that the VM is a hoax. Images of fortresses are illustrated in it The swallow tail design elements were used in only one place at one specific period of time.
Italy on the 14th century. Just because no one has yet solved the mystery does not justify the easy cop out of branding it an elaborate hoax I am pleased that we here on the Café' are actually discussing the subject rather than automatically dismantling the possibilities. Kotah |

I'm not saying it is or is not a hoax, just thought you would find it interesting is all.

I watched the documentary in question yesterday and I think it's a "joke" from the past that doesn't mean anything. It's only my opinion. Way too many people spent way too much time on the subject. It's interesting, don;t get me wrong, but waste of time for me.

Pawel, your opinion is honest, and fair enough.
Perhaps it is an elaborate joke, but maybe it is not. People are not necessarily wasting their time, if they find joy in quest of a mystery Consider how brilliant they will look , if they are proven right. Seeking to know the unknown is hard wired into human nature. Kotah |

Kotah, in this one infinite universe of an infinite number infinite universes, who can be wrong? Who can be right? They encourage all of us to collapse those wavefunctions, explore the universe, learn, and teach. So go, my friend, please keep searching the vale and peeking behind the vail.

Brother Yitzhak, The Voynich Manuscript is like eating potato chips to my soul.
One is never enough. I'm sure I will keep going back for more. Kotah |

What kind of world would we live in if our audiences dismissed us as silly hoaxes and stayed at home to watch TV (oh wait they already do)? People should never lose their natural child like wonderment of curiosity and imagination. That was a time when we were open to learning new concepts and growing intellectually and creatively. It's what made us the thinkers and leaders of today. Close minded people and skeptic are somewhat out of touch with their roots and in my opinion boring and not all that fun. That's why we do what we do... Kotah I wish you much success. It's people like you who keep mystery alive...

Thank you all for your support and well wishes.
As an update, I can share the following; Yesterday, I sent my final version of the decoding attempt to the British Library. This morning I got a reply. They were inundated with suggestions from the public. The sword which had been on display since Sept 2015, has been returned to its rightful home in the British Museum. The Library has forwarded and shared my submitted material and hat of every one else with the Museum for consideration. It may well be a while before they have the correct solution sorted out. The two crosses on the sword, ai a feel were, Maltese and Jerusalem (Crusader) crosses respectively. Fingers crossed Kotah |

I've been intrigued by the VM, though I have not made a concerted study on the subject. Have you discussed your ideas in more detail in another thread? I'd be interested to know what leads you to the conclusion that DaVinci was the author and the significance of the sword you mention.
Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.
