I can't explain why, but I would be sad the day the Voynich gets solved.

- michrassena 6y agoI have a similar feeling with no rational basis. The fact that something so accessible exists and which no one can decode is a bit inspiring. I've certainly enjoyed exploring the world's languages trying to find a match for what I see in the manuscript, however unlikely it is that a non-expert could decode it. It does feel like a treasure hunt anyone can join. Once we can read the text, it will most likely describe something mundane. Perhaps it is a text on herbology, like it appears. For me the mystery is worth more than whatever the manuscript contains. I don't think it will open the door to understanding history and a culture like the Rosetta stone did.
