There is an interesting discussion in another thread about the authenticity of the Voynich, if it could be fake. That something like this continues to occur demonstrates the real danger of a genuine and precious piece of human culture being lost.
In our world having faith in science is vital. We have seen it with the pandemic. Having faith in vaccines has saved millions of lives around the world. Having faith in science also means believing in the C-14 dating system that has been able to demonstrate that the Voynich is a human product from the first half of the fifteenth century.
Having faith in science also means not only believing that better computers will help us crack the VM but that our better knowledge of astrology and magic in the 15th century will help us understand why this precious codex was made.
