In the 1400s, someone hand wrote a book on parchment, consisting of pure nonsense.

Nobody has ever been able to decipher a word of it.

However, every few weeks, for years, I've gotten an email from some random new person

claiming to have finally decoded the famous Voynich manuscript.

Today, we're going to reveal what is actually known about the work.

And what, if anything, it might mean.

That's up next, Unskeptoid.

Hey everyone, Brian here.

A quick favor.

We're conducting an audience survey.

We'd be really grateful if you could take just a few minutes and answer our survey.

This is the kind of thing that's sort of an engineering and marketing necessity to make

the whole free podcast ecosystem flourish.

So please check it out.

So surveys are fun.

You get to talk about yourself.

Please visit survey.prx.org slash skeptoid to take the survey today.

That's survey.prx.org slash SKEPTOID.

Thanks.

You're listening to Skeptoid.

I'm Brian Dunning from Skeptoid.com.
