Voynich Manuscript Comparison to Roswell Script

It may just be me, but I see a few similarities between the Roswell symbols and the mysterious undecipherable Voynich Manuscript language. For example, the figure 8 looking symbols, but I could just be making connections where there are none. Take a look:

The Voynich Manuscript, a perplexing 500-year-old text in an undeciphered language, has fascinated scholars since its discovery in 1912. Now, research published in the American Botanical Council’s journal HerbalGram suggests a New World origin, drawing comparisons to symbols found in the Roswell UFO incident.

New World Connection and Roswell Symbols

Arthur O. Tucker, PhD, and Rexford H. Talbert’s article, “A Preliminary Analysis of the Botany, Zoology, and Mineralogy of the Voynich Manuscript,” proposes the manuscript originated in the Americas, specifically post-Conquest Nueva España (New Spain).

It’s important to note that the Voynich script also bears a resemblance to the symbols reportedly recovered from the Roswell UFO incident. Both feature unique, unknown characters. As one observer noted, “I see a few similarities between the Roswell symbols and the mysterious undecipherable Voynich Manuscript language. For example, the figure 8 looking symbols, but I could just be making connections where there are none… As far as I know, no one has yet considered this. Could the two unknown languages be related?”

Key findings from the HerbalGram article include:

1. Identification of 37 plants, 6 animals, and 1 mineral from the Americas.
2. Similarities between the manuscript’s calligraphy and the Codex Osuna (1563-1566, Mexico City).
3. Presence of loan-words from Classical Nahuatl, Spanish, Taino, and Mixtec.

Expert Reactions

The analysis has been met with positive reactions from botany and ethnobotany experts:

• Dr. Wendy Applequist of the Missouri Botanical Garden: “Tucker and Talbert have focused on its botany and, surprisingly but plausibly, identified many of the plants depicted as New World taxa.”
• Dr. Jules Janick of Purdue University: “He has demonstrated to my satisfaction that it contains images based on Mexican flora and fauna. Clearly horticultural information has provided a smoking gun.”

Historical Context

The manuscript’s history traces back to Georg Baresch, a 17th-century alchemist from Prague. It passed through various hands, including Emperor Rudolf II, who reportedly paid 600 gold ducats for it, and Jesuit scholar Athanasius Kircher. A letter written on August 19, 1665 or 1666 by Johannes Marcus Marci accompanied the manuscript when he sent it to Kircher. It said in part:

“This book, bequeathed to me by an intimate friend, I destined for you, my very dear Athanasius, as soon as it came into my possession, for I was convinced that it could be read by no one except yourself… Accept now this token, such as it is and long overdue though it be, of my affection for you, and burst through its bars, if there are any, with your wonted success.”

Ongoing Mystery

Despite new insights, the text largely remains undeciphered. As Dr. Janick stated, “While names of various plants have been identified in Nahuatl, the main text still remains to be deciphered, but I am optimistic.” Further study may reveal possible connections between the Voynich manuscript and Roswell symbols.

This research offers new paths toward understanding the Voynich Manuscript, its possible ties to Central American ethnobotany, and even speculative links to extraterrestrial encounters.

A current theory is that the book is nonsense and it was created to be undecipherable nonsense just for the purpose of selling it to some rich collector of books.

It is still fun to imagine it might be the notebook of a non human visitor to earth. Do the “hieroglyphics” on the Roswell wreckage match characters in the Voynich Manuscript? I see similarities: some figure 8’s, exclamation like symbols, four leaf clovers… It is like the Roswell writing is a modern version of the 500 year old script. Fun to consider.
