Not sure if this is the right board to post this on, but what are your thoughts on the Voynich Manuscript?

Crazy cool text. Been too lazy to read the (english) introduction to it. Nothing I'm proud of.

Personally, I like to believe it was an account of somebody who went into a different dimension and/or communicated with daimons/jinn/angels/whatever.

Wut u think?

This seems the most likely explanation to me. Some autistic aristocrat kept locked away in a library his whole life to avoid disgracing the family.

He was truly /ourguy/.

Basically this, probably following psychedelic use (most probably psilocybin).

The code is incredibly beautiful too.
