AnnCrystal 😂 this book seemed informative 🤔😂. 2d
AnnCrystal When I first read about the Voynich manuscript in highschool, I was immediately fascinated. I came up with the belief that it was written by the people who live in the depths of the seas...again, I was a teenager 😂📚💝...everyone knows that the sea people don't write on animal hide...😂 Maybe something like Alga Carta but not vellum.

Soscha Some think it may be a Cathar text that managed to get hidden from the Inquisitors. It is a fascinating document that‘s for sure. There‘s just no quick answers. 1d
