Bristol University is proclaiming: The world's most mysterious book has yet to be decoded

This is a rebuttal of a previous statement by a language expert from Bristol University itself.

As previously reported, a few days ago, a linguist at Bristol University declared that he had solved the code inside the "Voynich Manuscript" - the book was named the most mysterious mystery of all time. , "tortured" even the most talented minds of mankind.

The one who came to decode is Dr. Gerard Cheshire. He said the manuscript was written in a long-lost language, proto-Romance . And by studying the symbols of the language, he was able to determine what the content inside the book was.

Recently, however, Bristol University has published a statement that the school has nothing to do with Cheshire's research, after studying it against some scientists' objections, despite being published in journals. prestigious is Romance.

Critics say the proto-Romance is a language that does not exist in history, and the hypotheses Cheshire offers have almost no meaning at all. As Lisa Fagin David - executive director of the American Medieval Language Academy shared: "Proto-Romance is not true. This is only a subjective, meaningless assumption."

"I used to try the way Cheshire did. But when applying the Roman letters to solve, everything became meaningless. That's not the right way."

Cheshire defended his position, arguing that symbols follow rules like letters, and critics simply "cannot remove prejudice, even if there is evidence."

It is unclear who is right and who is wrong. But in the face of such controversy, Bristol University said it found there was concern about the legitimacy of the study, and thus "decided to temporarily remove it on its site for verification".

It is known that the content of the Voynich text is said to contain codes, spells, political messages, even alien languages. Experts had previously believed that it was written in the mid-15th century, in a language used by Catholics and Romans.
