JP, I learned about it on MSN Headline News today (my Windows 10 News Feed) but it looks like you already knew about it and it wasn't new news at all.
I found an article about it where it seems that, like Tucker for Mexico, this academic got a positive ID on Linda's volcanoes (my stumps), both found near Vulcanello in Italy. I suppose he attributes authorship to Spanish nuns rather than Italian nuns because back then those volcanoes belonged to Spain, as part of the Kingdom of Aragon and Naples.
Anyway, what most upsets me is that there is so much fake news these days that, if I were ever break the VMS code (however remote that may be), there will be no one willing to take a look at it.
What did you think about his claim that the VMS was written in the proto-Romance language? Did you see a sample of his translation? The article insinuated that he had decoded it all but later said he hoped others would decode / translate the rest of it.
