[Movie] Voynich Talk E3: Why your Voynich theory is wrong (pt1)

[igajkgko]

   Even one of them to be the correct is worth doing them- although most are wrong. Because at least they try to  find an answer to the questions above.

Assume that we're all looking for the Olympus Mons, but it's now sometime in the future and we've forgotten all about where and what it is. In fact, we've all gone back to farming. All we have left are some blurry and fainted photos of Olympus Mons someone once found lying around in some strange building somewhere.

By this time, the general consensus of those that have spent many years studying the photos is that it cannot possibly be a mountain here on earth. Based on the landscape and various proportions that can be gleaned from the blurry photos, it just cannot fit any of the landscapes. Maybe it's a hoax? Maybe the photos have been manipulated in some very complicated or unintuitive way?

But still, a steady stream of new people keep stumbling upon the puzzle and they all come up with variations of the same solution - "actually, it's a mountain here on earth and I know where it is!".

Some people have looked at the color of the photos and are completely sure that it's somewhere in Sahara. Others can see that it's obviously quite tall, so it's a mountain in the Swiss Alps - how can you not see it? Look, the top of it looks just like Dufourspitze!! (When others point out that the rest of Dufourspitze looks nothing like the blurry pictures it doesn't matter much.)

The issue, of course, is that no matter how many such new theories we get, none of them can possibly ever be correct. There simply is no answer to ever be found in the place where people keeping search for it.
