Hey, I am going to check out The Book of the New Sun sometime, as it sounds interesting. But the Voynich Manuscript was not so much decoded but found to be consistent with it being that of a illustrative guide for female hygiene (at the time). I remember the article going viral on Twitter in 2017, and then all the big news sites claimed the VM had been "decoded". Still cryptic in many ways, though.

I enjoyed this post. Hope you're good :)

I remember the Voynich theory you're talking about. But after all the claims of it being decoded, they had to back off because it turns out that the theory didn't actually hold up. Dude claimed that the Voynich was written in a highly abbreviation-heavy form of Latin, but it was debunked almost immediately by Medievalists and cryptographers. Meanwhile, the claim that it's some kind of manual on women's health was nothing new.

Thanks very much. I still never know what people will actually enjoy reading =)
