144: The Voynich Manuscript – A Book No One Can Read

from The Mystery Kids Podcast · host Tess O'Driscoll

Imagine opening a book and realizing... you can’t read a single word. Not because it’s in another language you’ve heard of, like Spanish or French. No—this book is written in a language no one on Earth can read. The letters don’t match any alphabet. The words don’t make sense. And to make it even weirder, this book is filled with strange pictures: plants that don’t exist, stars and moons, mysterious women floating in green pools, and lots of other odd things.This isn’t a made-up story. This is a real book. And it’s called The Voynich Manuscript.Birthday Shout Out Form⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Resources, Books, Photos, Coloring pages and more!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mysterykidspodcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Become a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patron⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Or a Subscriber on Spotify!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
