No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

When my wife, my children or my friends ask me what I think is the most difficult thing about Voynich, I always answer that the most difficult thing is to tune into the mentality of the people who created it.

For me the message of the VM is clear: the stars create all those strange plants that we see. In the document there are those naked ladies who introduce an element that seems discordant, but only in appearance because in reality they are a personification of the numerous stars in the sky. What I just said is the most difficult thing to understand, to the point that many who read me will think that it is almost an extraterrestrial message.

Let's imagine that we go to a medieval university from the Voynich era, to an astrology class that was an official subject. We want to teach them why it is cold in winter now in the northern hemisphere and we explain that it is due to the inclination of the Earth's axis with respect to the plane of the Sun and that therefore the solar rays reach us tangentially.

Surely they would take us for crazy. Everyone knew that it is cold now because we are in the zodiac sign of Aquarius and the stars of this sign are the ones that cause the winter cold.
