The Voynich Manuscript: The World's Most Mysterious Book

The Voynich Manuscript is the literary equivalent of a fever dream—240 pages of bizarre text written in an uncrackable code, paired with illustrations of plants that don’t exist, diagrams that make zero sense, and women lounging in interconnected tubs like they’re at a medieval spa day. Discovered in 1912, this 15th-century anomaly has baffled historians, cryptographers, and conspiracy theorists for over a century. Is it a lost scientific text, an elaborate hoax, or an alien instruction manual? In this episode, we dive into the wildest theories, the failed attempts to decipher it, and why this book continues to drive people mad.
