Episode #3: The Voynich Manuscript

Ashley & Christy Season 1 Episode 3

Today we’re diving into one of history’s wildest mysteries: the Voynich Manuscript. We talk about how old this thing actually is, what it might be, the experts (and AIs) who’ve tried to decode it, and the leading theories behind why it exists at all. Plus where you can go see it in person or browse it online to try to decode this thing for yourself! This one is a fun, nerdy rabbit hole.
