Podcasts about Voynich manuscript

This week on The Creep Dive, Jen takes us deep into the intoxicating mystery of the Voynich Manuscript. Is it a 600-year-old coded guide to female health? A Renaissance troll's masterpiece? Or the deranged scribblings of a time traveller off their tits on medieval mushrooms? With baffling botany, star signs that don't match our skies, and naked women passing herbs in goo pools—this manuscript has the CIA, codebreakers and creeps everywhere stumped. Also: monkey abductions, meth raccoons, and an empanada-fuelled gang massacre.Get this episode sans ads plus hundreds of exclusive episodes every Thursday over on patreon.com/thecreepdive. It's creepier, cleaner, and definitely more unhinged in there. Come join us. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we discuss the Voynich Manuscript, an ancient text full of intricate drawings written in an unknown language. While the text can be dated back to the early 1500s, the author and his or her intentions have been lost to time. Initially believed to be a text written by one of history's great philosophers, the contents of the book prove more puzzling than insightful. Tune in this week to hear about one of the true mysteries of the last 500 years!  

*NOTE* - The topic discussion starts at 14:30 In this My Favorite Mini-Mystery episode, Krista looks at the mysterious (and beautiful) Voynich Manuscript, and Kurt looks at the phenomena of "Streetlight Interference" and "SLIders", people who believe that they can cause streetlights to go out just by walking past them.  And, as usual, a taste-test and more trivia questions for the contest!!!

Episode 314 - The Book No One Can Read: The Voynich Manuscript Mystery A 600-year-old book written in an unknown language, bizarre botanical illustrations that don't exist on Earth, and a possible wizard on the run—this episode dives into the biggest literary mystery of all time. This is the unreadable book, the Voynich Manuscript. We explore its enigmatic origins, the life of rare book collector Wilfred Voynich, and the theories surrounding its possible author, Roger Bacon—a medieval friar with a suspiciously wizard-like reputation. But this isn't just a history lesson—things get personal. Has Corinne been hexed? Could crystals be the answer? And how exactly does the Squonk, the world's saddest cryptid, fit into all of this? From CIA codebreakers and AI decryption attempts to extraterrestrial connections and secret societies, we explore the theories, hoaxes, and paranormal possibilities. Is this a centuries old prank? A journal dropped by an alien (obviously it's this one)? Tune in to find out what is going on with the Voynich Manuscript.  Watch the Video Version Here  Have ghost stories of your own?

On the Grid: The Inside Track on Formula 1 by Luke Smith I've always vowed the moment the grid stops being the best part of my race weekend, it's time to stop working in F1. It's everything about the sport distilled: the sounds, the smells, the tension, the glamor, the people. This is the story of life in F1. Luke Smith has spent over ten years reporting on Formula 1 from all over the world. The grid is his playground, the track his literal running track. In On the Grid he takes us behind the scenes of the past, present and future of Formula 1, telling its story through the eyes of the people who create it - not just the superstar drivers and larger-than-life team principals, but also the pit crew, the engineers, strategists, PR gurus, the fans and more. There's plenty of thrilling drama, cutting-edge technology and glamour, but Smith also shows us the critical mid-race decisions, how that 50-pence screw in the wrong place could cause a GBP15m car to break down, how F1 has influenced not just the cars we drive but our fridges, life-saving medical equipment and even croissants. On the Grid brings to life what the sport is really like, revealing the extraordinary minds and characters that give it such colour and intrigue, while also tracing the origins of the sport's traditions and impact beyond the track. For both long-time fans and newcomers, it's the definitive, access-all-areas account of the people, personalities and culture that make F1 stand alone in world sport. Life Hacks for a Little Alien by Alice Franklin From her first words to her first day at school, Little Alien can't help but get things wrong. She doesn't understand the world the way others seem to, and the world doesn't seem to understand her either. Her anxious mum and meticulous dad, while well-intentioned, are of little help. But when Little Alien sees a documentary about the Voynich Manuscript - a mediaeval codex written in an unknown language and script - she begins to suspect that there are other people who feel just like her. Convinced that translating this manuscript will offer the answers she needs, she sets out on a journey that will show her a delicious taste of freedom. So begins Little Alien's story, told from the perspective of an older, wiser linguist, whose guidance will help Little Alien navigate a world that makes her feel like she doesn't belong.

The Voynich manuscript is an illustrated  hand-written manuscript in a language unknown which has been carbon dated to the 15th century. Included is a full language repeated perfectly throughout the document, pictures and descriptions of animals and plants, and several, and I mean several drawings of portly women in bathtubs for reasons unknown. But we here at grognostics say let them bathe.   The origins, language and reasons behind the creation of this ancient tome are debated but one thing is for certain, you won't find out the true origins from this podcast that's for sure. But we will pique your curiosity, for woman in baths. Was it an ancient encyclopedia for a civilization we've yet to unearth? A fictional work of art created meticulously? The workings of a bathing woman aficionado? One can only hypothesis.   Join us as we dive into this ancient mystery.   Intros (:30) Beer (4:50) Voynic Manuscript (7:15)

For centuries, a triangular portion of Lake Michigan has been ground zero for sunken ships, disappearing crews, and vanishing aircraft. As if these incidents aren't creepy enough, what is now known as the Lake Michigan Triangle is also notorious for UFO sightings and strange lights appearing on the horizon. (The Lake Michigan Paranormal Triangle) *** There's a beast living in the woodlands outside of Rhinelander, Wisconsin – and its description is beyond belief. I'll introduce you to the hodag! (Meet the Hodag) *** Sylvia Plath died by suicide at the age of 30 on February 11, 1963, following a barrage of literary rejections and her husband's infidelity.

It's Friday the 13th, and despite having to dodge black cats and poorly located ladders, Elliot and Dan were able to get together and run down the best hacks of the first week of September. Our luck was pretty good, too, seeing how we stumbled upon a coffee table that walks your drink over to you on Strandbeest legs, a potato that takes passable photographs, and a cool LED display three times better than a boring old seven-segment. If you've never heard of the Voynich manuscript, you're in luck too, because we got a chance to look inside this medieval comic book literally, with multispectral analysis. Is your cruise ship too short? No worries, just lop it in two and add a section. Speaking of cutting things up, that's what you need to do to see how your plus-size DIY rocket engine performed after test firing. And finally, it was a sweep for Jenny this week with our "Can't Miss" articles, where she both pines for a simpler, smaller web experience and wonders what the future holds for biomass fuels.

The Voynich Manuscript. Dubbed as one of the most mysterious books in the world, the manuscript is a 15th-century codex written in an unknown script and adorned with bizarre and bewildering illustrations. As the boys unpack the manuscript's history, they trace its origins back to the early 1400s, when it was believed to be crafted in Northern Italy during the Italian Renaissance. The episode starts with an exploration of the manuscript's physical attributes. The Voynich Manuscript is famous for its peculiar botanical illustrations that do not match any known plants, astrological diagrams, and surreal scenes. This bizarre content fuels the central mystery: the meaning and purpose of the manuscript, which remains undeciphered despite the efforts of numerous cryptographers and scholars throughout the centuries, including those during both World Wars. The boys discuss various theories about the creator of the Voynich Manuscript. Was it the work of an alchemist? A secret communication between spies? Or perhaps a hoax meant to baffle and mislead? They entertain the idea that it might have been created by Roger Bacon, a medieval philosopher known for his works in the fields of mathematics, astronomy, and languages. This theory intertwines with speculative narratives about the manuscript being intended as a pharmacopeia or a treatise on nature from another world. The boys also discuss more fantastical theories, such as the manuscript being a guidebook from another dimension or an alien artifact left for human discovery. They bring on a linguistics expert to discuss the structure and patterns within the text, examining whether the language could be a cipher, an invented script, or simply gibberish designed to confuse. scientific analyses conducted on the manuscript's parchment and ink, revealing carbon dating results and details about the materials used. This scientific perspective grounds the discussion, bringing a tangible touch to the otherwise mystifying narrative. To conclude, the hosts reflect on the cultural and historical significance of the Voynich Manuscript. They debate its place in history and the possibility that its code might one day be cracked, providing insights into medieval European thought and the human penchant for creating and solving puzzles. Whether a seasoned cryptographer or a casual enthusiast of historical mysteries, listeners will find themselves drawn into the labyrinthine twists and turns of the Voynich Manuscript's story. The episode is not only a journey through a peculiar artifact but also a meditation on the human desire to explore, understand, and, perhaps, ultimately remain baffled by the unknown.

The episode where Lindsey gets to talk about one of her favorite things: books! Don't worry guys, she'll keep it spooky. This is the story of the Voynich Manuscript, one of the oldest mysteries. People have literally studied this manuscript for centuries, trying to decipher it, but nobody has been able to translate it to this day. There are incredibly detailed pictures of some pointy boob spinach women, bizarre plants, but we have no idea what it all means.

Have you ever heard of the Voynich Manuscript? Don't worry, a lot of people haven't. This is an interesting book, with an unknown author. Could it have come from a lost civilization, an early explorer, maybe, just maybe, aliens ?

A Note from James: AJ Jacobs, who has an upcoming book, "The Year of Living Constitutionally", he's a fascinating writer. He basically, instead of just doing research on a topic "Oh, I'm going to do research on the Constitution, I'm going to do research on living healthy, I'm going to do research on the Bible," instead of just researching something and writing a book, which I consider to be boring, he has a completely different way of exploring a topic, and it turns out,and not by accident, it turns out that this is the formula for writing a bestselling, millions-of-copies kind of book.And it's an interesting way to live life. And what I mean is,  A. J. really lives what he's writing about. So when he wrote his, one of his early books, The Year of Living Biblically, he  lived for a year, literally word by word, as the Bible would suggest he lives. For instance, I'll let A. J. describes and we talk about it in this episode, but in "The Year of Living Constitutionally", which is about to come out he lives the life of someone.Around 1790, living the constitution word for word applying to be a pirate with the Congress. Something which was an article, one of the constitution, if you didn't happen to know. And meanwhile, other books he's had are like, "My Life is An Experiment",  where everything was an experiment.For instance, he outsourced arguments with his wife to an outsourcing agency in India. So this turns out to be not only a fascinating way to live a very curious and adventurous life. But again, as I said earlier, it turns out to be a great formula for writing a bestselling book, the kind of formula AI can't really compete with I will add. First, I want to hear about AJ's method, the AJ method of living a life of experience and using that to create stories, adventures, and of course, bestselling books. And he's a very funny guy, so how he incorporates Humor into that. And then next week, we're going to do a whole episode, fascinating episode, the year of living constitutionally, because there's so many issues about the constitution.I didn't know about it. And so many, so much information about the constitution. I didn't even know about it. I used to think I've read it, but it turns out I hadn't. So first off though, the AJ method on writing his own unique brand style of bestseller and living a life of adventure.Episode Description:In this episode of the James Altucher Show, James engages in a fascinating conversation with AJ Jacobs, an esteemed author known for his unique approach to writing and life. Jacobs discusses his upcoming book 'The Puzzler', delves into his method of immersing himself in his subjects, and shares insights from the Year of Living Constitutionally. Jacobs, known for his adventurous lifestyle and humor, describes past projects including outsourcing arguments with his wife to India and living according to the Bible. The episode also covers his visit to a long-termism conference, discussing potential future challenges and the impact of AI. Additionally, AJ and James ponder over the significance of incorporating puzzles into daily life and explore the concept of improving forecasting abilities through understanding probabilities. Episode Summary:00:00 Exploring AJ Jacobs' Unique Approach to Writing and Living02:47 AJ Jacobs: A Deep Dive into His Life and Works03:31 The Fascinating World of Puzzles with AJ Jacobs03:56 AJ's Hermit Life and the Creative Process04:47 Solving the World's Most Baffling Puzzles17:07 The Art of Creativity and Intelligence in Puzzle Solving27:24 Exploring Long-Termism and Future Challenges31:57 The Unheard Stories of Nuclear Near Misses32:19 Exploring the Shadows of the Cold War33:05 The Petrov Day: A Reminder of Nuclear Threat34:29 Unaccounted Nuclear Weapons: A Lingering Threat34:48 Envisioning a Utopian Future Amidst Doom35:42 The Evolution of Technology vs. Environmental Challenges36:54 The AI Dilemma: Potential and Perils37:50 AI's Unintended Consequences: From Paperclips to Pandemics41:19 The YouTube Algorithm: A Case Study in AI's Impact48:32 Addressing the Threat of Authoritarianism52:58 The Importance of Science and Statistics in Society58:15 Rethinking Education: A Focus on Practical Knowledge01:01:34 Long Termism: A New Perspective on Humanity's Future ------------What do YOU think of the show?

The Voynich Manuscript is an enigmatic 15th-century codex shrouded in mystery, written in an unknown script and adorned with intricate illustrations of plants, celestial bodies, and human figures. Named after Wilfrid Voynich, who acquired it in 1912, the manuscript has defied decryption despite numerous attempts by scholars, linguists, and cryptographers. Its origin, purpose, and authorship remain subjects of speculation, fueling theories ranging from an encoded scientific treatise to an elaborate hoax. The Voynich Manuscript continues to captivate researchers and enthusiasts alike, standing as one of history's most enduring cryptographic puzzles. ----------------- Head to the Strange Places home website, asylum817.com to keep up with all things Strange Places, as well as the host.

In this soft-spoken bedtime story, I tell you about historical and scientific mysteries and their context:  - The Voynich Manuscript, a strange codex apparently from the early 15th Century, written in an unknown language.  - The Phaistos Disc, an artifact discovered in Crete in the ruins of a Minoan palace, with what looks like a script, but that has always resisted attempts at deciphering it.  - The Sailing Stones from the Racetrack Playa, California, a rare geological phenomenon that was finally explained over the past few decades.

Chinese magic mirrors are these mind-boggling artifacts that have been around for centuries. Basically, they're made of bronze with intricate designs carved on one side. But here's where it gets wild – when you shine a light on the polished side, it reflects an image, but not just any image – it's like a hologram! This is just one example of an ancient artifact that keeps scientists surprised up to this day. You won't believe the mystery surrounding these ancient artifacts – it's like a real-life Indiana Jones adventure! Take the Antikythera Mechanism, for example – a mind-blowing ancient Greek device that seems to be a primitive computer, but nobody knows exactly how it was made or what it was used for. Then there's the Voynich Manuscript, a centuries-old book filled with strange illustrations and an undecipherable language that has puzzled experts for ages. These artifacts are like riddles wrapped in enigmas, leaving researchers scratching their heads and fueling endless speculation about our ancient past.

For centuries, a triangular portion of Lake Michigan has been ground zero for sunken ships, disappearing crews, and vanishing aircraft. As if these incidents aren't creepy enough, what is now known as the Lake Michigan Triangle is also notorious for UFO sightings and strange lights appearing on the horizon. (The Lake Michigan Paranormal Triangle) *** There's a beast living in the woodlands outside of Rhinelander, Wisconsin – and its description is beyond belief. I'll introduce you to the hodag! (Meet the Hodag) *** Sylvia Plath died by suicide at the age of 30 on February 11, 1963, following a barrage of literary rejections and her husband's infidelity. We'll look at her haunting story and tragic death. (The Tragic Death of Sylvia Plath) *** It's approximately four hundred years old, full of colorful illustrations of plants, flowers, the stars, women, medicinal herbs, and text… yet no one has been able to decipher exactly what the Voynich Manuscript is for or what it says. (The Voynich Manuscript) *** The disappearance of a person is a tragedy no matter how you look at it. When we first read about missing people we usually automatically assume the most logical explanation was what happened. But what if we're wrong? We'll look at the vanishing of Claude and Sue Shelton. (The Shelton Disappearance) *** Unlike their Hollywood counterparts, the real-life Men in Black are mysterious figures who threaten people who have reported paranormal experiences.
