This is a page from a book that nobody
can read.
It was written 600 years ago in a
language that doesn't exist
in a script that matches nothing in any
archive on Earth.
The plant beside [music] the text has
never been identified.
It is never grown anywhere.
There are 240 pages [music] like this.
The illustrations show 113 plants that
don't match any known species.
Naked women [music] bathing in green
liquid connected by tubes. Zodiac
charts. Pharmaceutical jars labeled in a
script that nobody alive can read.
Every page was drawn with precision
by someone who understood [music] what
they were recording.
Nobody else ever has.
An emperor paid 600 gold ducats [music]
for it believing it held the secrets of
a 13th century genius.
It passed through Jesuit collections,
private dealers, [music]
and dusty archives for centuries.
Nobody could read it then, either.
The man who cracked [music] Japan's most
secret wartime cipher spent 30 years on
it.
He failed.
The NSA tried.
Fail.
Linguists proved [music] the text
follows the mathematical patterns of a
real language. It isn't gibberish.
But it matches nothing known. Then AI
tried. Machine learning trained on every
language and cipher system in [music]
existence.
Failed.
In 2020, Yale put the entire manuscript
[music]
online. Every page, every illustration,
every line of text that nobody can read.
You can look at it tonight.
600 years.
Every codebreaker, every linguist, every
algorithm.
