I can't recommend Volder Z's youtube serien on it enough.

Sadly he has taken them down since promising an update for a looong time...

For the super interested, I have downloads :)

All I can link you is a (still great) video on alphabet evolution https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul8NVfWKXZg



Hi,

Volder Z (Derek Vogt) came to the conclusion that it was a Romani language written by nomadic peoples and written in a Syriac derived script.

The Enochian project has attempted to phonologically translate the Voynich manuscript:

cool, first word I hovered over translated to penis XD


haha, downvotes. Don't be so prude, have a laugh with me.

(or enjoy the chance to double downvote if that does something for you)


Bummer, he pretty much proved he was on the right path with his translation theories. Maybe this was done to protect his work? As in, hes now working to complete the translation and did not want others to beat him to it. One can hope...


His video explaining how the astronomical diagrams depicted a specific known eclipse was extremely compelling (if I am remembering it correctly).

Another intriguing video is [0] by Sukhwant Singh. I think he over-estimates how much of the VM he has decoded, but some of his observations are hard to ignore. For example:

* 08:30 interpretation of a diagram in the VM being a map of the Middle East

* 12:46 & 13:26 explanations of the distinctive headgear

* 14:00 & 14:35 & 15:00 observation that the buildings looking like mosques and minarets

* 19:46 explanation of the unusual cylindrical containers
