Practice Listening: Summarize Spoken Text ID: #47259 Medium Voynich Manuscript
Instructions
Well, the Voynich manuscript does have many different theories proposed for it. Some people think that it's a complete hoax. It's now been carbon dated from the 1 5th century. So it's most likely if it is hopes to have been a 15th-century hoax which I personally don't believe. But some people think it's just gobbledygook. It's just an invention to make money. Somebody made it to fool people and make money. Other people think it's probably a code. In other words, someone encoded lots of secrets in it, hoping that no one would find out. And if so, that's been very successful because no one has corrected it so far. But, in my opinion, it is actually a genuine script. Obviously, a human devised script but masking behind it a genuine human language. In a language, it seems to me to have more if you like Near Eastern, maybe Caucasian Asian aspects, to it rather than European because of some of the words that I've decoded. So I would imagine that once we've actually managed to decode the script, we'll find that the language underneath is a natural human language probably from that part of the world.
