Voynich Manuscript Revealed (2018)

[@j.dryden4999]

Let me try to explain the challenge of translating 600 years old phonetic Turkic of an unknown dialect to an English speaker. Consider this famous line by Shakespeare that is about 430 years old: Hamlet: "Get thee to a nunn'ry, why woulds't thou be a breeder of sinners?" This famous line may not mean much to a modern English speaker but Hamlet is essentially telling Ophelia that it would be better for her to live in chastity, protected from other people, instead of becoming a breeder of sinners. Obviously, this translation and explanation required a contextual interpretation by an expert. Now imagine English was a phonetic language - in other words, one would spell words as he/she hears them. Imagine how an Irishman or a Scotsman would pronounce and therefore phonetically spell the same sentence "Get thee to a nunn'ry, why woulds't thou be a breeder of sinners?" quite differently than, for example, the Queen of England. And now imagine the author was indeed a Scotsman but one has to have some knowledge of how Scottish accent was like 430 years ago. If English was a phonetic language, an English speaker would pronounce this sentence the following way, according to the Cambridge Dictionary. Hamlet: "Get di tu eɪ nʌnəri waɪ wʊdənt daʊ bi eɪ bridər əv sɪnər”. Obviously, the spelling would be somewhat different if pronounced by a Scottish accent. Make your guess how different this sentence would sound if it was a Scottish accent 430 years ago. Now let’s replace these characters with random symbols without further complicating it with the ancient Scottish pronunciation. Hamlet: "Get di tu eɪ nʌnəri waɪ wʊdənt daʊ bi eɪ bridər əv sɪnər” Now imagine all you have is the above sentence with these unknown symbols and no information about the origin of the language. Good luck working the problem backwards and forwards and using these characters try to translate this sentence into modern English. This is exactly the reason it is almost impossible to make sense of the Voynich text if the person does not have a deep knowledge of the particular language of the era it was written. In addition, this person should also have the patience and dedication to work through an unknown, likely made-up alphabet and the starting assumption has to be that the language is of a particular origin and then test this possibility. I believe Voynich manuscript can only be deciphered by trial and error by people who have the in-depth historical knowledge of their native language and patience to work through decoding the unknown characters. And sooner or later one of them will stumble upon the correct answer. It is therefore plausible how this man might actually be the one.

English IS a phonetic language - I think what becomes lost over the ages is various spellings and dialects within a specific phoneme. I found this video quite entertaining and very instructive. Additionally, aren't most Eastern languages written right to left? Is Turkic normally written left-to-right? I only ask because I know very little about Asia Minor and have always been fascinated with that part of the world...

[@qliphothdaemons]

I'd always wondered just why it had taken so long for someone to make sense of this oddity... I figured it for a hoax or some elaborate olde world troll. This explanation really makes you realize just how in depth *truly* translating something needs to be, to be accurate. Context, motivation and an understanding of the world as it was at the time are three things you are unlikely to get from an obscure manuscript like this, and those three things truly are the lenses through which this manuscripts actual origin and purpose will be focused.

i get it, just like i understand the light orbs in the skies popping up all over the world right now. The higher realms be talking at it. Our life force energy in the realm is in a cycle of decay. This book shows how to fix this issue, how to tap into the life force, how to channel it, how to connect consciousness with other realms (the tubes and shoots with women inserted as if they are completing a natural connection that already exists). If we tune into our natural world, we get to channel in life force, and communicate with higher realms again. It's a nice thing to ponder on, and if you insert this way of thought, you'll see it fits quite nicely. Have a blessed new year.

I think their approach is actually not very scientific. They make a lot of initial assuptions based off of the fact that it ~looks to be~ agglutanative. There are many agglutanative languages in the world, not just Turkish, and instead of applying more and more tests to find holes in their theories ~ which could only lead them closer to the truth ~ they only look for things that back their theories.

Thank you and your sons for taking your time to recognize, examine and translate the Voynich manuscript. I've seen many videos and articles about this manuscript and have always felt that someone would eventually be able to decipher it. It must have been very exciting to realize that your language was used, old Turkish. Also the fact that it was written phonetically, which makes sense if the writer was not formally educated. Exciting that you've been able to translate a full page and it made total sense and was in context to the illustrations shown. I have an old German register that my son purchased for me, in Germany, while he was taking college courses there. I have not been able to get it translated because the few people I have asked have told me that it is written in a " dead " German language. It seems to be a census record of small villages or towns written in 1804. I couldn't even find any information or examples of old German on the internet. I hope that you and your sons are recognized and that your work is accepted by those who, in the past, were unable to decode this manuscript. If you can interpret the whole manuscript, I would love to see that interpretation in print. It would be a link to our past that so far, no one-else has been able to produce. I would love to know what information lies within it's pages. Good luck in your endeavors! Thank you again. 😊

In order to give you an idea of ​​where our work is progressing, it would be useful to provide some updates again. Thank you for following the progress on the subject and for submitting your questions. In 2018, we received an invitation from the Department of Turkish Language and Literature at İstinye University Istanbul/Turkey to explain our VM related study/subject in detail. We gave them very detailed information about the subject. In the end, the dean of this institution was convinced and he explained to one of the national TV channels that it was understood that the content of the VM was in Turkish. After that, a while ago, the Department of Turkish Language and Literature at Muğla University in Turkey invited us. On November 5, 2021, I made a presentation about our VM study in there. During this study, We talked about ATA alphabet transcription. I showed some examples of words that were read. I talked about the analysis of some sentences. In the end, I was congratulated by the dean of the department for our success. They were also give me a certificate of appreciation for our work. As a result, all of this professionals are accepted about existence of old Turkish content in VM texts. In 2021, I made a presentation to linguists in the Turkology department of Azerbaijan Baku State University. Thus, the Turcologists at this university also realized that the VM-content is Turkish. In the same year, I made another presentation to the subject experts at the Azerbaijan Academy of Sciences. The same successful results were seen here as well. In 2022 (recently), we were invited to an international symposium by Niğde University. We were invited because the article we sent to this institution passed their scientific committee and was accepted. The article we sent here was an article we wrote jointly with Professor Mayil Askarov, professor of Azerbaijan Academy of Sciences and expert on Old Turkic language. Probably soon (most likely in the coming months) our scientific-article of our aforementioned study will be published in the proceedings of this symposium. I also submitted an article for another international symposium that will be held in Ankara on 3-5 October. For this symposium, Prof. Dr. Mayil Askerov himself sent an article describing that the Voynich manuscript is in Turkish. Mr. Askerov mostly use of our ATA alphabet transcription in his work. After all, we were both invited to this symposium. We will go to Ankara in October, and we will explain the subject with some full page reading examples. You can see which professors and experts from which countries are in the international scientific committee of this symposium at this link. turkkulturu.org.tr/i-uluslararasi-turk-kulturu-arastirmalari-sempozyumu/ So, We are continuing to work on this VM related project in our free times only. Our reading works on VM is improving slowly but positively. Our free time is very limited and we spend this time sending articles to academies rather than making youtube videos. Our main purpose in acting in this way is to increase academic awareness on the subject within the scope of Turcology. We will publishing our studies in our web application pages which pages are currently under construction by one developer in Turkey. We are currently testing our web site with loading our unchecked raw notes to test the page to help for this developers work. So, this web site is not officially announced yet but may be you can find some details. You can read the main articles in fallowing pages. In the current situation, we were able to read about 100 sentences, a few full pages. We also detected 98 VM-drawings to word overlaps. We have seen that there are many abbreviations in the content of the manuscript and that the author has given special names to some drugs and plants are among the factors that make it difficult to read. We still could not identify the dialect of the author. Our book has been ready in Turkish for a long time, but we haven't chosen a publisher yet. I think we'll have finished this book publishing job and of this year (or may be next year). We are looking for a professional translator for the English translation of our book. I think it will take a few more years to prepare in English. Thank you for your interest in our VM related studies.

It is not too surprising that this mystery is being solved by, of all people, a family of engineers! I've known many engineers over the past 40 years. Their minds always seem to be dominated by an interesting combination of two traits - brilliance, coupled with bare-bones practicality. This thing has thwarted code breakers for centuries. Yet a Turkish engineer becomes interested in the thing, notices a consistent use of a particular set of characters. And then, in the most practical and simple of ideas, notices a commonality to a phonically written Turkish dialect. Conclusion? The book was not written in code at all, but phonically. The solution fits the facts perfectly. It even explains why this "one of a kind" hand written manuscript seems to contain no revisions or mistakes. Once again, mankind has a set of engineers to thank! So, Thank You!

well they have carbon dated it and by the castle illustrations (which had a type of crenelation that only existed in Italy at that time) They figured that it was most likely from Italy. So you might be on to something. At any rate there is scientific evidence backing up it was from Italy around 1420 (if im not mistaken)

This makes sense. The dating of the manuscript dated back to around 1420 when Turkey was a more advanced civilization. Given the manuscript was made with great effort and cost, it may have represented the best knowledge at the time from that part of the world. The previous people studying it may not have any idea about ancient Turkish and were on the wrong track of looking at the book as an encrypted one. The translated paragraph of the plant resembling sunflower makes perfect sense.

[@nutyyyy]

It's Turkic language but that doesn't mean it has to be written in Turkey itself.

[@vancouverman4313]

Present day Turkey was the eastern part of the Roman Empire, it was invaded by Central Asian tribes who took over a country that was hopelessly weakened by the Black Death or Bubonic Plague. The civilization was a European one that was co-opted by a Muslim one. The original Turks that invaded were not nearly as advanced as the Byzantine one that they took over.

[@aardich1709]

Some of the results of our text analysis: 1- The alphabet used contained both single letters, combined letters, and tamgas (tanımga). It is evident that the entire text could have been written in basic letters, yet the author used complex syntax - that employed combined letters and tamgas - by using multifunctional isolated affixations (which mostly in coded parts for phonetic valued expansion). 2- The alphabet that the author used contains abbreviations that both have phonetic and numerological value. A close example to demonstrate the concept in English would be the use of abbreviation to express statements like “for you” as “4U”. 3- Some of the suffixes isolated from their roots, and it causing the words before and after the suffix to each have a different meaning as they approach that suffix. Therefore, the author is able to take two words and have a suffix in between and create expanding meaning combinations. One of this example can be found in the 3rd line of the paragraph that was analyzed in Folio 33v-Sunflower-. 4- The results of our text analysis based from randomly chosen pages demonstrate that the author did code the texts, which can be read downwards and upwards for every first letter of each line, as well as it can be read downwards and upwards for every last letter of each line. In these codes, the author wrote diary entries describing people, settings and events that have nothing to do with science or art. 5- The author is a traveller/explorer, researcher, writer, seeds-kernels seller, gynecologist doctor, medicine maker, space observer, poet and educator (+) who was travelling in Europe. One of the destinations in this travel was Istanbul (or Europeans call the city as Constantinople in the time period). 6- Throughout the journey the author was not alone. He traveled with his family and friends and-or relatives. (Three families. (Nine person, and as we understand three of them children). 7- The author wrote this book throughout the journey. Our current hypothesis and notes: 1- The author was travelling from Italy to Istanbul. 2- Istanbul city (Constantinople) to Anatolia and-or Baku city (today's Azerbaijan) probably was the last destination in this travel. 3- Is it possible that manuscript has been stolen from "Ottoman Imperial Archives" around the presumably year in 1911, and 1912? Is there any other single page with written same alphabet in the Ottoman archive in Istanbul?

Thanks to Professor Dr. Firudin Celilov. He has examined our work. He devoted some his precious time to our work. After his study, he gave us the following reference letter. Thus, linguists starts to verify that our studies. Which means that alphabet transcriptions (we were make for this manuscript) ensures that the manuscript was written in Turkish. To those interested in reading of Voynich Manuscript, I have had chance to investigate the claim that Ahmet Ardic and his sons made about the 600 year old Voynich Manuscript that it is written in Turkic. Upon studying the transcript Ardic family proposed I was able to independently verify that in fact this manuscript is written in a Turkic language. Ahmet Ardic, during his visit in Baku Azerbaijan on September 23, 2018 has presented me his findings. After Mr Ardic’s presentation I have had the opportunity to evaluate and investigate in detail the Latin alphabet transcription he proposed. Upon investigating the individual words and the grammar structure it became evident that the manuscript is based on Turkish language and the transcript Ardic family proposed successfully translates the manuscript into Turkic language. The words, phrases and sentences that have been used in this manuscript have been read. Words and sentence structures are in harmony with the Turkish language, and while translated into the present Turkish language within the structure of the Turkish language, clear and emerging meanings are reflected. I am glad to bring my independent expert validation of Ardic families findings to the attention of those who are interested in this subject matter.

[@Lazulite]

Bishop Howells true

[@renardmigrant]

It's still unsolved. This is an unsubstantiated claim.

[@aswaltan8962]

That shit video .now I'm follow you give again one 👍🏻for bishop howell.no 223

[@zah555]

What an amazing team! A father and his 2 sons!! God bless you guys!

[@jeremyferguson4705]

The most satisfying thing I've seen in a long while. Absolutely wonderful.

[@xian1670927]

Even though this claim hasn’t been substantiated. It makes more sense the way this family has explained it. This is impressive.

[@alahya18]

i hope they translate the whole book, soon enough.

[@shesaknitter]

Just fascinating! I, like so many others, have wondered about the Voynich since I first learned about it some years ago. Amazing that no one tried to compare it to existing languages, or ancient/archaic versions of existing languages, before. I am a little late to the party, so I don't what has happened in the 2+ years since you published this video, but I'm going to look into it. Thank you so much for your hard work!

[@karenperson6090]

I am so impressed with what you have done! I have been interested in this manuscript for years. The last I had heard about was that they finally allowed it to be carbon dated and it came back from the beginning of the 1400's. Every code breaker around the world has tried to break this code even the large commputers couldn't do it. I hope your "family project" gets all the recognition it deserves. Congratulations!!!!!!

[@ZombieProdigyUS]

I love this comment section because it's full of intelligent individuals with a passion to learn 😌 (plus it's cool to see all the polyglots)

[@URMyNewTV]

fuck this shit, it was aliens.

[@rakadoni8403]

Yeah I am really enjoying reading these comments too! there are some interesting hypothesis's on the identity of the author and people passionate to know the content!

[@estelaashkenazy8179]

:D

[@aardich1709]

I appreciate all the other works to crack the book. We welcome all opinions and judgements about our work with respect, and we are not waiting from others as rejecting or accepting our hypothesis, if they have no idea about a structure of any Turkic language.

[@glenmorrison8080]

As a botanist that translation does ring very true to the period to me, at least from my limited reading of older Latin botanical texts. But then again it seems possible for one to decide on a translation strategy being very guided on what you think the page is supposed to say, for instance, after reading up on sunflower biology.

[@nickacelvn]

Excellent job, by far the most plausible translation i have seen

[@matt09ward]

this is fairly big news why is it not getting more attention

[@gaz1tinsley]

Because its your job !

[@mailliw94]

because it's only partial, isn't yet confirmed, and isn't as well known in the mainstream media as you think it might be.

[@roycebottoms4570]

It doesn't have boobs.

[@soapbox355]

Because it's a book and our intelligence is being systematically destroyed for the age of Aquarius

[@ICEknightnine]

Because the book doesn’t contain a meme compilation.

[@DRKNT640]

Wait you’re telling me in 400 years not one fucker ever thought to compare it to every language possible?

[@firstpersonstudios5514]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6iqf2iEdtV3r5Y 'bout 37 min in they say that phonetically it didn't match any known language, (because the author was using combined letters as revealed here). At 16 minutes in the vid in link, they tell us that in 1665 the text was sent from a bohemian doctor to a scientist in Rome who supposedly knew all languages. It's likely that for years everyone kind of knew where and when this manuscript was from, but after many decades everyone forgot and those that came after were clearly over thinking the whole thing. I can't imagine spending years as a cryptographer and finding out that the entire thing is not in code but really just written in old world Turkish. lmao

[@Auriflamme]

It was only possible for an expert in Turkic languages to see these patterns. It was because of the fact that Yale digitised the text and made it available to the public that this Turkic expert came into contact with it. It's not like you can just imagine that it looks like Turkish if you aren't familiar with the language.

[@dooglitas]

That is a hard thing to do. There are over 6000 living languages in the world, and then you have thousands of extinct languages. Then you have to add the fact that this text was written in an unknown alphabet. Most people have thought this was written in some sort of code. I think that most people also assumed it would be written in some Indo-European language. Not many people in the West are familiar with ancient Turkish.

[@GrassPossum]

What 106 people didn't get the point of this video, after seeing it? The language isn't standard or modern Turkish. It needed a real expert in the field not to mention a little inspiration.

[@dooglitas]

+GrassPossum: Your point is well taken, however, a good linguist should have been able to see the patterns even if they didn't know ancient Turkish. I'm just not sure many of the people who have examined the text were actually linguists.

[@maryhelenbarletti8419]

This is amazing work. Fascinating explanation of a difficult language. Thank you for taking the time to translate this.

[@voynichmanuscriptresearch1679]

It is now better understood why we can read thousands of years of Etruscan inscriptions in Turkish. The author had been in Italy as a traveler. However, 600 years ago there were settled farmers who spoke Turkish language in Italy. So, This is "The Etruscans: A Population-Genetic Study" > The origins of the Etruscans, a non-Indo-European population of preclassical Italy, are unclear. There is broad agreement that their culture developed locally, but the Etruscans’ evolutionary and migrational relationships are largely unknown. In this study, we determined mitochondrial DNA sequences in multiple clones derived from bone samples of 80 Etruscans who lived between the 7th and the 3rd centuries b.c. In the first phase of the study, we eliminated all specimens for which any of nine tests for validation of ancient DNA data raised the suspicion that either degradation or contamination by modern DNA might have occurred. On the basis of data from the remaining 30 individuals, the Etruscans appeared as genetically variable as modern populations. No significant heterogeneity emerged among archaeological sites or time periods, suggesting that different Etruscan communities shared not only a culture but also a mitochondrial gene pool. Genetic distances and sequence comparisons show closer evolutionary relationships with the eastern Mediterranean shores for the Etruscans than for modern Italian populations. All mitochondrial lineages observed among the Etruscans appear typically European or West Asian, but only a few haplotypes were found to have an exact match in a modern mitochondrial database, raising new questions about the Etruscans’ fate after their assimilation into the Roman state. ... The mean pairwise sequence differences between the Etruscans and other European populations range from 3.79 to 6.26 substitutions, with a global average of 4.64. The Tuscans differ from the Etruscans by 4.65 substitutions-that is, almost exactly the value that would be expected with a random population from the database. However, these values are also affected by the internal diversity of both samples being compared. If we subtract the internal diversity, thus obtaining Nei’s (1987) dAB distance, the genetic distance between Etruscans and Tuscans becomes the shortest, with other southern and eastern Mediterranean populations also showing relatively close genetic relationships (fig. 3). In the MDS plot (fig. 4), the Etruscans fall out of an unstructured cluster comprising most European and Caucasus populations, including the Turks. To better compare the Etruscan gene pool with those of contemporary Italy, we treated these populations as hybrids among four potential parental populations, from the four corners of the area considered in this study (table 2). The likely contributions of each parental population, or admixture coefficients, are similar for the three modern Italian populations, but Etruscans differ in two aspects: they show closer relationships both to North Africans and to Turks than any contemporary population. In particular, the Turkish component in their gene pool appears three times as large as in the other populations. These admixture estimates are not to be taken at their face value, for numerous assumptions underlie their estimation. Here they only serve to show that, with respect to modern Italian gene pools, the Etruscan one contains an excess of haplotypes suggesting evolutionary ties with the populations of the southern and eastern Mediterranean shores. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1181945/ Source: "The Etruscans: A Population-Genetic Study" by Cristiano Vernesi, David Caramelli, Isabelle Dupanloup, Giorgio Bertorelle, Martina Lari, Enrico Cappellini, Jacopo Moggi-Cecchi, Brunetto Chiarelli, Loredana Castrì, Antonella Casoli, Francesco Mallegni, Carles Lalueza-Fox, and Guido Barbujani

Whoa! Ain't gonna argue with you, you know your stuff, just one thing though: If it was traced to the eastern mediterranean, why did they not compare it to the mitochondrial DNA of autoctonous middle eastern jews, coverted white jews who originated in Georgia and the Ukraine circa 400 A. D.. and the Palestinian population? I mean, seems like the logical thing to do does it not? Cheers.

[@deemueller6470]

This information should be pinned so everyone could read it.

[@kiachris76712]

Fantastic work!

[@davidnoone3254]

would use term Anatolian not "Turkish". Etruscans are European and not from East or Central Asia. Why not say Armenia? There is not Turkish race. Turkishness is defined by entropy.

[@fuzzydunlop7928]

@jeff jones ... the reason why some of it can be interpreted through the lens of a proto-Anatolian language...did you watch the video? That is literally what it's talking about.

[@littlespinycactus]

Reference to the 'dying branch' causing the remaining ones to become bigger and healthier will strike a chord with every gardeners who has ever disbudded exhibition dahlias and chrysanthemums.

Wow!! That's really more interesting now! Excellent job brothers. Waiting for full translation....

[@gaz1tinsley]

Hahaha

@Valentin Islas What? 😶 😳 HaHa. Thanks!

[@tnnsboy18]

LMAO, 😉No Problem lol 😏

[@BengaliJisan]

😏😀😀😀

[@trevorreilly963]

listen every one that has made a crappy comment...this family that deciphered this is not your average group of people working by themselves or together...they are extremely smart and happened to be Turkish. If anyone was going to figure out the hint to get them started these were the guys to do it...right place right time. And bravo to Ahmet for being able to do this with his kids what a story!!
