VOYNICH MANUSCRIPT

VOYNICH MANUSCRIPT: Research worker* at the University of Arizona have discovered that the Voynich manuscript, which was called "the world's most mysterious manuscript," was written between 1404 to 1438. The results were broadcast on a special documentary National Geographic Channel.

The Voynich manuscript was written by an unknown author, and is about 240 pages. Its wording is called a "foreign language" - the letters do not even look like other languages, while most pages contain images that illustrate the optical phenomena, mystical drawings and meticulous maps zodiac.
Greg Hodgins, University of Arizona physics department and a leading member of a team used radiocarbon dating to determine the dates of text from the 15th century, was fascinated by the manuscript.
"Is there a code, a figure of some sort? People make a statistical analysis of the consumption and use letter word - tools that were used to break the code. But they still have not figured it out ".

Tests on the Voynich manuscript was done in 2009. For the sample from the manuscript, Hodgins traveled to Yale University, where the Conservatives had previously found pages that had not been taken or were repaired and the best sample.
"I sat with the Voynich manuscript on the desk in front of me, and gently cut a piece of parchment from the edge of a page with a scalpel," said Hodgins.
He cut four samples of four pages, each measuring approximately 1 to 6 millimeters (about 1 / 32 by 1 / 4 inches) and imparted them back to the laboratory in Tucson, where they have been thoroughly cleaned.
