Another Possible Voynich Breakthrough

bmearns writes "Over the past few weeks we've been hearing a lot about a possible breakthrough in decoding the infamous Voynich manuscript, made by a team of botanists who suggested that the plants depicted in the manuscript may have been from the New World and the mysterious writing could be a form of an Aztec language. But the latest development comes from linguist Stephen Bax, of Bedfordshire University, who believes he has identified some proper names (including of the constellation 'Taurus') in the manuscript and is using these as a crib to begin deciphering the rest of the text, which he believes comes from the near east or Asia."

    ...but the 'new world' has been **continuously settled** by Asians & Europeans...there was no one event of discovery...just Catholic Church bullshit

    I wonder when the Illuminati & global aristocrats will let us know the real story of the 'discovery' of the 'new world'

    There is overwhelming evidence of pre-columbian contact...well...virtually everywhere...from Leif Eriksson, to the Vikings who made it to Minnesota, to the Newfoundland evidence, to the Innuit presented in Europe in 1000AD to the Inca genetics & face stones, to the South America tube gords...

    It's a big deal, I know...but really the world has to learn the truth eventually...

    The Voynich manuscript is another piece of evidence...but I just wonder when we can stop with the whole charade

      The Catholic Church is relevant to the discussion because from '1492' Western history records that all the explorers were all Catholic

      Columbus was sent by Catholic Monarchs. Protestants didn't start settling in large numbers until England gained dominance over Spain.

      This all makes the (false) narrative of history the Catholic Church presents about these events the most relevant. The primary source documents are all from Catholics during this time!

      Columbus worked for Catholics...again I remind you...

      You criticize ethonocentrism? That's a Red Herring. My criticism of the accepted narrative of the 'discover' of America is itself a criticism of European Ethnocentrism...so you agree with me?

      Catholic are lying greedy assholes...they invent and rewrite history as they see fit. Western history of this time is mostly based on Catholic sources (Columbus worked for Catholics)...so it's relevant...
