Much worse is the case of the Voynich manuscript, where we see an animal that bears no resemblance to a scorpion. This single detail is yet another indication that the Voynich was made in a northern European country like Germany, where scorpions are not seen or are very rare.
Here is indeed a second occasion we both share the same opion. Some Halley's comet vibes.
Nearly the same:
if you could extend your idea of "northern Europe" to somewhere between Galway and close to Kazan, I would agree even more -- it's not only Germany, this north-european thing.
In general, all countries not having a mediterranean coast should be defined as north-european or not-south-european.
Unfortunately I have not the source for this one here, maybe somebody knows it or that was presented already:
That one shows it all:
- the "old" understanding of Capricorn with some fishtail
- a centaur as sagittarius
- some strange lobster as Cancer
- and the very weird four-legged reptile as "Scorpio"
I put this in because somebody mentioned the colours of VMS lobsters. Obviously, this artist had only orange and green, but the Pisces look like an inspiration to VMS lobsters somehow.
Apart from the Scorpio-Saurus, which VMS counterpart is more like a green cat or such...
And yes, the item here is "double lobster": I miss the theme with my posting, presenting just a single bi-coloured lobster, but there is something more going on, might be interesting.
