Solve one of the mysteries of the book nobody read

Voynich is regarded as the most mysterious book in the world.

Researchers at the University of Arizona (UA) to United States, was able to resolve any issues of manuscript Voynich, regarded as the most mysterious book of the world, including author and content is unknown.

Thanks to the technique of carbon radio, a team of UA led by Greg Hodgins, manuscript determined Physics Department scrolls date from the 15th century initially, 100 years of experts have estimated.

The Voynich is a fascinating book full of drawings and writings that person has failed to decrypt so far. The mystery surrounding its origin and its content is "Da vinci Code" as something ordinary.

Voynich is regarded as the most mysterious book in the world.

The manuscript was discovered in 1912 at the Villa Mondragone in Rome, Italy, by Wilfrid Voynich books antique dealer when I was selecting a trunk on books offered for sale by the Jesuits.

At first glance seemed to be a play in parchment with text and illustrations not very different from incunabula in an antique shop.

However, after a more detailed overview, volume revealed be contrary to what it is déjà vu.

Studies indicate that the manuscript dates back to early 15th century.

Of Voynich is written with weird characters - some similar Latin and other unknown language — apparently ordered into words and prayers, with the exception that does not resemble what is written or read by human beings human.

Multi-page text intertwined with intricate designs of plants, astronomical diagrams and human figures, some swim in what could be a fountain of youth.

Voynich devoted the rest of his life to reveal the mysteries of the origins of the book and how to decipher its meaning. He died 18 years later, without being able to start him even one of their secret.

The book became the property of the library Beinecke of books and rare manuscripts at Yale University, United States.

In 2009, Greg Hodgins traveled to the coffers of the library of samples from the rollers which could be used to document radio carbon dating method.

All human beings live plants and animals have trace amounts of an isotope of carbon known as carbon-14 in their tissues. One times the plant or animal dies, the content of carbon-14 is declining at a predictable rate so that you can use to estimate the time elapsed since the death of self.

It is also true for these products is true for plants and animals. As the Voynich manuscript rollers are made of animal skin, they can also date of via carbon-14.

Hogdins Cup delicately with a sample of four pages scalpel which measures 1 x 6 mm to bring Arizona Labs.

It should ensure that the samples were not margins where accumulates fat fingers to move pages, or were near the back of the book that may be contaminated with glue.

"Modern methods of date materials are so sensitive that traces of modern pollution can harm all of this," said the researcher.

After a complex process of preparation and analysis involving archaeologists, biochemists, chemists, physicists, engineers and statisticians, equipment may determine that the manuscript has been 100 years that has been estimated previously, amending certain assumptions that existed on its origin and history.

Inks and paints used to write text and draw pictures were analyzed in laboratories.

Although these may not be subjected to the tests of carbon 14 for his age, yes they are compatible with the pigments used during the Renaissance.

Although Greg Hodgins underlines your knowledge is limited to dating book recognizes you as fascinated as the rest of the experts who tried to solve the mystery.

"Text has very strange characteristics that the repeated use of a Word by another character in a sequence change." "These extrañezas are very difficult to understand", he said.

Hodgins has said that secrecy is associated with Alchemy, so it would be consistent with this tradition, if the contents of the book in the code.

Drawings and images, it is impossible to say whether they are agencies of botanical, marines, or astrólógicos.

"I find that this manuscript is a fascinating window in a very interesting mind." It is a great puzzle that nobody has been able to assemble and who doesn't love a puzzle?, concluded.
