““There is a book called the Voynich Manuscript which is written in a script that is completely unknown and appears to be untranslatable, even to the most experienced linguists on the planet. Made in the early 15th century, it depicts a number of plants that do not match with any known species on our planet, as well as a series of what appear to be astronomical drawings.
