Protein analysis from eraser crumbs

[Morten St. George]

There are many small errors and a number of corrected errors in the VMS. At one point I started documenting them and realized there were so many, I didn't have time.


Also, you should take a look at some of the work of Jewish scribes who copied out Torah scrolls. It was not permitted to make mistakes. They are very painstaking in their work.

I believe I did see some of those Torah scrolls in connection with an article on the use of deer-skin parchment. Lots of medieval illuminated manuscripts also look flawless.

What if Cathars escaped to the rainforest around 1250, made the VMS drawings on deer parchment and then returned to Europe, perhaps between 1350 and 1400, perhaps hiding among the Cabalists in Spain or Provence? Then, after 1400, with the original manuscript of marsh deer starting to fade, Torah scribes could have made an exact copy using cows for parchment. Such a scenario seems highly unlikely, but it would fit all the evidence including cow protein.

I have been reluctant to propose that some of the descendants of Cathars / Cabalists, who fled to the rainforest around 1250, could have returned to the Old World prior to 1400 for the following reason: the ocean currents from the Caribbean are running the wrong way. It is much easier for a small boat to get from Europe to northern South America than the other way around.

But there is another possibility. They could have sailed down the Amazon River and out to sea, where they might have caught a counter current over to Africa. The esoteric literature mentions the city of Fez in Morocco and the city of Safed in Israel. Can cows be found in those places?

Conclusion: It is theoretically possible for the VMS to depict the Amazon Rainforest and yet be written on cow parchment. But keep in mind there is other evidence linking the VMS to the Incas, which is why it is so important to verify the parchment animal beyond any doubts. I'm suggesting allowing a dermatology expert to have a look at it.
