even if there were any truth to any interpretations of these scratch marks, there is no way to verify them to be contemporary with the carbon dating. they couldve been added to the manuscript afterwards. but then again some of them appear to contain ink such as the last one here (perhaps the same ink as the root next to it). a sample could perhaps be dated to see if they are contemporary to the writing and other imagery.
