Voynich revealed, diary of a Nahuatl

[ReneZ]

Hi ReneZ,
what is wrong with this thinking process?

The experts performed the C14 test on the "vellum". The vellum is not paper, it is the skin of a dead animal, properly tanned and smoothed. Dating tells us when the ram/sheep/cow from which the skin was taken was born, but it tells us nothing about when someone wrote on that skin.

Think: Years of the animal's life + Years the skin spent in the tanner's workshop until it was sold + Years the skin spent in the bookbinding workshops + Years the "virgin" manuscript spent in the friars' library storerooms + Years of travel from Europe to America + Years in the destiny depository .... Shall we continue? If we apply a little logic, that adds up to many years, I would say about 90 years more.

I am afraid that almost everythng is wrong.
- It's the date the animal died, not when it was born
- Parchment is not tanned. That is leather. Neither of the two processes take years.
- The text is written on the parchment sheets. Binding and everything else happens after
- Parchment sheets were not stored for any amount of time. They were used soon after production.
