One possible explanation of the Voynich manuscript’s mysterious script and underlying language – a view which I find plausible – is that the script was devised for a particular community, possibly to write down an already existing language, and then that script was lost to us, with the exception of the Voynich manuscript visual studio c++ 2010 \ub2e4\uc6b4\ub85c\ub4dc<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Just such an example has just been uncovered, as can be seen in this report from the Smithsonian magazine<\/a>:<\/p>\n

In essence, researchers have been examining old manuscripts housed at St Catherine’s monastery in Egypt which were palimpsests – pages from which older writing had been erased and newer writing added in order to reuse the scarce parchment \ub9ac\ud2c0 \ud504\ub9b0\uc138\uc2a4 \uc18c\ud53c\uc544 \uc2e0\ube44\ud55c \uc12c \ub2e4\uc6b4\ub85c\ub4dc<\/a>. They then used various techniques to view the older text which had been partially erased and hidden.<\/p>\n

As the article says: “perhaps the most intriguing finds are the manuscripts written in obscure languages that fell out of use many centuries ago chrome 32bit<\/a>. Two of the erased texts, for instance, were inked in Caucasian Albanian, a language spoken by Christians in what is now Azerbaijan. According to Sarah Laskow of Atlas Obscura, Caucasian Albanian only exists today in a few stone inscriptions Now hello download<\/a>. …….<\/p>\n

Other hidden texts were written in a defunct dialect known as Christian Palestinian Aramaic, a mix of Syriac and Greek, which was discontinued in the 13th century only to be rediscovered by scholars in the 18th century \ud3ec\ud1a0\uc0f5 \uc250\uc774\ud504 \ub2e4\uc6b4\ub85c\ub4dc<\/a>. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153This was an entire community of people who had a literature, art, and spirituality,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Phelps tells Gray. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Almost all of that has been lost, yet their cultural DNA exists in our culture today Parasit opening download<\/a>. These palimpsest texts are giving them a voice again and letting us learn about how they contributed to who we are today.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em><\/p>\n

This precisely fits one of my suggestions about the Voymich – that the text was writen in a particular script which then fell into disuse and was lost to us, except in this one document \uc624\ubc84\ud074\ub7ed \ub9c1\uc2a4 \ub2e4\uc6b4\ub85c\ub4dc<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Of course this example in Egypt doesn’t prove anything at all, except that such things can happen!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
