Pisces has been related over time to fish, monster (depicted like a wyrm in Getty image), bird, goddess, rope. The VM Pisces looks pretty straightforward but that would be not very Voynich like.
Suggest f86v3 in the light of outside data shows the location of the garden of Eden being in Iraq.
Does what is says on the box.

Hi Bunny
Would you care to explain why you think this?
D.
We are getting the slowest of slow reveals here
What exactly are we supposed to do here? Guess the "outside data"?
I'd suggest that you aren't the first to suggest that Eden was in Mesopotamia.
Nor, most likely, was the Voynich.

That is true, not a revelation about the area, not even suggesting it is correct in factual location. Chinese astronomy and mythology just as possible as are many other scenarios. Suggesting it is an interpretation of f86v3, that is what I am interested in, alternative possibilities for the folios. In relation to Pisces (as recently discussed) it may show a map, reasons below.
Various historical sources have shown that Pisces has been related to more than just fish, the Greek myth of Typhon (like wyrm in some imagery), Babylonian constellations lady of heaven/Exalted bird/fish/rope. Other sources related the heavenly constellation of Pisces to the earthly equivalent, the ropes/fish each being the rivers Euphrates and Tigris, Eridanus as Pishon/Gihon and Pegasus square as the garden of Eden. On f86v3 there are various structures in the corners, 2 birds, 2 figures, and a T/O map.
Interpretation?
Overall story imagery:
Male and female, Adam and Eve "hiding" in Eden; seated bird in garden of Eden with tree on top; flying bird indicating seated "leaving Eden".
Detail, Pisces and Eden:
Female "Lady of heaven"; bird on land; fish represented by bird flying over water. Bottom left directionally in the east according to the T/O map: open inlet/outlet pipe (river) leading to split (of water), top images continuation of water paths or 2 extra paths of water while "Adam" points a smaller water path. Conclude, Eden located between Persian Gulf and the point of split off to Euphrates and Tigris, along an inferior river system which could later open into a bigger body and travel far still. If the Persian Gulf was dry then length of main river to sea could travel far south locating Eden under current sea and minor river split off at any point after the garden. Changed topography could place anything anywhere way back but in relation to f86v3, Iraq around the Euphrates/Tigris join (rope) or south into the Persian Gulf. The garden was only part of Eden and Eden could be of any size, including the whole of the Fertile Crescent and anything in between or beyond, but not the land of Nod which was to the east of Eden. Direction of river may refer to travel, inland from sea via river routes.

f86v3, Garden of Eden ?
No idea, but this page surely has something to do with nutrition.
