You write "Likewise, we have plant identification experts that have found the plant drawings resemble plants found in America." Now I have to ask, which experts? I don't know of a single expert on plants who has written anything about the VM manuscript - plants.
So I wouldn't consider a priest, or a computer maths expert as a plant expert either. Nor an anonymous florist. So where are the experts?
Even if many plants are similar to American plants, a sunflower is a sunflower. The flower may be similar, but the leaves are far removed from reality. Stolfi has also recognised this, and he is not a plant expert.
And then there are the architectural references. A church is not just a church. A tower with bay windows is strange, and when do you think palisade fences were replaced by city walls in America, and why do I see a city gate?
What does the architecture say next to the plants? These are just two clues.
