Has the Voynich Manuscript been Decoded? Mysterious 15th Century Text May Be Written in a Lost AZTEC Language

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The Voynich manuscript was discovered in an Italian monastery in 1912
Due to its location, historians think the manuscript was written in Europe
It is full of illustrations, diagrams and a mysterious text written left to right
Cryptographers have been trying to decipher this text for decades
Botanist now claims the plants in the book come from Mexico 
This suggests the book may be written in an Aztec language called Nahuatl

For decades, researchers have been trying in vain to decipher ancient texts written on the Voynich manuscript – yet they may have been looking for inspiration in the wrong place.
A U.S. botanist studied illustrations of the plants throughout the 15th century book and pinpointed a number of them to the Central American region now known as Mexico.
Dr. Arthur Tucker claims at least 37 of the 303 plants would have grown in the region during the 15th and 16th century and believes the text is, therefore, written in the Aztec language of Nahuatl.

The writing is so bizarre, sceptics have stated the book is a hoax or that the writing is nonsense.
The Voynich manuscript was discovered in an Italian monastery in 1912 by book dealer Wilfred Voynich.

Carbon dating suggests the manuscript was created between approximately 1404 and 1438, during the Italian Renaissance.
The 240 pages of the book are made from a type of parchment produced using calf skin, known as vellum, and are decorated with illustrations, diagrams and a mysterious text written from left to right.
