Welcome to our showcase for the exotic, anomalous, visionary and mystical. This site collects documented cases of unsolved mysteries, anomalous events, ancient curiosities, as well as more current ideas and inventions which are so unusual - and often untried - that they deserve the attention of the imaginative mind.
The Voynich manuscript is the most mysterious of all texts. Discovered in 1912 in the Jesuit College at the Villa Mondragone, in Frascati, it is seven by ten inches in size, and about 200 pages long. It is made of
soft, light-brown vellum. It is written in a flowing cursive script in
alphabet that has never been seen elsewhere. Nobody knows what it
means.
During World War II some of the top military code-breakers in America
tried to decipher it, but failed. A professor at the University of
Pennsylvania seems to have gone insane trying to figure it out.
Though the manuscript was found in Italy, statistical analyses show
the text is completely different in character from any European
language.
