Voynich Manuscript

Weird plants that never existed; nude women frolicking through intestinal shapes; mandala-ish diagrams of spirals and stars; words in an indecipherable code: nobody knows what the deal is with this thing. Maybe made in Italy in the 15th Century. Maybe it’s a real language that nobody has ever spoken. Maybe not.
