Transcripts

00:00

chances are you've heard of The Voyage

00:01

manuscript the mysterious book that

00:03

seems to be written in an unknown

00:04

language that nobody's ever been able to

00:06

translate it features drawings of plants

00:08

and animals that don't exist and nobody

00:11

knows who made it I've done a video

00:12

about it here it's super famous but it's

00:15

not the only mysterious manuscript

00:16

that's ever been found there's actually

00:18

a lot of them in fact I got a lot of

00:19

comments on that Voyage video requesting

00:21

that I talk about some of them but yeah

00:23

all around the world we've found

00:24

documents that challenge what we think

00:26

we know about history stir up

00:28

controversy and sometimes

00:30

just make no sense so today let's take a

00:32

look at some of the most mysterious

00:34

ancient manuscripts that have ever been

00:38

found in my episode about the world's

00:40

weirdest form of writing I talked about

00:42

how we're in a bit of a language crisis

00:44

I mean nine languages a year are stop

00:46

being spoken worldwide it's so bad that

00:48

they predict that by 2080 we'll be

00:49

losing a language every two weeks and

00:51

this is important because we we lose

00:53

ideas that are specific to cultures when

00:55

a language dies we lose records of time

00:58

periods and people we lose stories that

00:59

that were important to them at that time

01:02

and could still have meaning in our

01:03

lives today and then there are the

01:04

languages that we come across from our

01:06

past that we can't understand that um

01:08

even though we found them its meaning is

01:10

lost to us but what might be even

01:12

weirder is when we find manuscripts or

01:14

documents and languages we do understand

01:15

where we can decipher the information in

01:17

it but that

01:19

information is weird weird or out of

01:22

place or out of time or it's made in a

01:24

way that we can't figure out by people

01:26

who we don't know who they are now some

01:27

of these I'm about to talk about are

01:29

still being studied uh so we may find

01:31

out that they're not for real at some

01:32

point in the future but some of these

01:34

have been studied thoroughly and are

01:35

super legit which only brings up more

01:38

questions so let's start our treasure

01:40

hunt where else ancient Egypt in 1868 an

01:44

Egyptian mummy made its way to the

01:45

Museum of Zagreb in Croatia it was of an

01:48

ordinary woman nobody of any royalty or

01:50

a priest or anything like that but what

01:52

was interesting was what she was wrapped

01:54

in it was linen strips with writing on

01:56

it which isn't that big a deal but it

01:58

wasn't Egyptian hieroglyphic

02:00

it actually was something unknown at the

02:01

time about 20 years later the museum

02:03

officials sent the rappings to Vienna

02:05

and there the Austrian egyptologist

02:07

Jacob CRA looked at them and he figured

02:09

out what the language was it was

02:10

actually Ausin yeah weirdly for some

02:13

reason this mummy had been wrapped with

02:15

strips from an at truscan linen book

02:17

this was an incredible Discovery first

02:18

of all because at truscan was not spoken

02:20

in Egypt it was an early kind of Roman

02:22

language but also no surviving examples

02:25

of at truskin linen books had ever been

02:27

found I meant to say at truskin not at

02:30

there usually a linen book like this

02:32

would have dissolved way over time but

02:34

Egypt's area climate and the materials

02:36

that were used to dry the mummy helped

02:37

preserve it this wasn't just the first

02:39

atesin linen text that was found

02:40

completely intact it was also the

02:41

longest at truskin text ever found the

02:43

book was originally a sheet about 3.4 M

02:46

long before it was torn into strips for

02:47

bandages it contained 12 Columns of text

02:50

written in black and red ink and it's

02:51

thought that about 60% of the original

02:53

text is still on there they also found

02:55

Papyrus from the Egyptian Book of the

02:56

Dead wrapping the mummy's body which

02:58

could give us a clue as to who she was

03:00

so we found this linen it's in at

03:01

truscan we can read it what was this

03:03

thing actually about well basically it

03:05

was just a calendar about which rights

03:06

and sacrifices should be done throughout

03:08

the year there are certain Gods

03:09

mentioned like nethuns who was an at

03:11

truscan Water God related to the Roman

03:13

god Neptune and some of the words and

03:15

names in the text lead the experts to

03:16

believe that it was composed near the

03:17

modern day Italian city of perusia now

03:20

the linen itself was dated to the 4th

03:22

Century BCE but the writing is from much

03:24

later like the word January is used as a

03:26

start of a ritual year which means that

03:28

it was probably written between 200 150

03:30

BCE meaning whoever wrote this found

03:32

linen that was literally like 3

03:34

centuries old and then wrote stuff on it

03:38

and then later it got ripped up and was

03:40

used on a

03:41

mummy this linen has had quite the

03:43

journey like to me that's a huge mystery

03:46

right there like who goes and finds 300y

03:48

old linen and then writes on

03:51

it this doesn't even make sense but then

03:54

there's the obvious question of how did

03:55

this you know linen with a tresen

03:57

writing on it make its way to Egypt so

03:59

so the theory is uh since the mummy was

04:01

found in the in the city of Alexandria

04:03

which is a port city it's a big trading

04:05

Hub um one theory is that she was

04:07

basically just wrapped in whatever

04:08

material was available which again um

04:11

we're going to bury this person Let's uh

04:13

let's just let's just find that book

04:14

over there just tear up that book and

04:16

just wrap let's just do a papier-mâché

04:18

around yeah that's one way to do it now

04:20

if that's the case then it would just

04:21

happen to have a truskin text on there

04:24

and there's no connection between that

04:25

and the Egyptian Book of the Dead stuff

04:27

that was in there and there's not really

04:28

any big mystery as to how it would have

04:30

made its way to Alexandria like I said

04:32

it was a port city there was a lot of

04:33

trade there and there was plenty of seaf

04:35

fairing trade that went on in the

04:37

Mediterranean way way back when so

04:39

that's one theory that they just found

04:40

the book and wrapped her up in it

04:42

because that's what was available

04:43

another theory is that she was actually

04:44

of a truscan ancestry so she was buried

04:47

to the customs of her ancestral and

04:49

adoptive cultures but either way it's a

04:51

book that was found wrapped around a

04:53

mummy and if that is not worthy of a

04:56

spot on a list of mysterious manuscripts

04:59

out of I don't know what is Here's a

05:00

thought instead of being a traitor could

05:02

Judas scariot have been Jesus's best

05:04

friend according to the controversial

05:06

Gospel of Judas that's exactly the

05:09

situation written on Papyrus and dating

05:11

to around the 2 Century ad it tells a

05:13

story of Jesus asking Judas to betray

05:15

him so that he can fulfill his prophecy

05:17

and Rise To Heaven the Papyrus is

05:19

actually what they call a codex that was

05:21

translated from ancient Greek to the

05:22

Coptic language around 300 ad it was

05:24

discovered in the 1970s in a cave near

05:26

elmina in Egypt and it just kind of got

05:29

past along between Antiquities dealers

05:31

before finally winding up in a safe

05:33

deposit box on Long Island New York he

05:36

wound up in the hands of Antiquities

05:37

dealer frieder newberger chakos who

05:39

bought the manuscript tried to sell it

05:41

couldn't sell it and then shipped it to

05:42

the meus foundation for Ancient Art in

05:44

basil Switzerland in 2001 there the text

05:46

was reconstructed and translated by

05:48

Rudolph CER or caser sure it was a 66

05:52

page manuscript that not only contained

05:54

The Gospel of Judas but also the first

05:55

Apocalypse of James a letter from Peter

05:57

to Phillip and a fragment of a text

05:59

called The Book of alyes okay so this

06:02

came out hundreds of years later it

06:03

clearly wasn't the actual Judas who was

06:06

the author of this text it was most

06:07

likely written by a gnostic by the way a

06:09

gnostic is someone who believes that

06:10

salvation is achieved through knowledge

06:12

instead of Faith um they also believe

06:14

that the world's Creator is not perfect

06:16

so the Gospel of Judas shows Judas as

06:18

being Jesus's favorite disciple and he

06:20

would actually give secret messages to

06:23

Judas that he didn't tell the other

06:24

disciples things like the creation of

06:26

humans and angels and other Celestial

06:28

beings and the nature of the Universe

06:30

the text also includes conversations

06:31

between Judas and Jesus in the week

06:33

before Passover all of that's

06:34

controversial but its biggest

06:36

controversy by far is the idea that

06:38

Jesus actually asked Judas to betray him

06:41

because he wanted if somebody were to

06:43

betray him he would want that to be his

06:44

best friend rather than an enemy this of

06:46

course challenges the roots of

06:48

Christianity um some Scholars have even

06:50

gone so far as describe it as fiction or

06:52

heretical forgery it also offers up a

06:54

different understanding of God which you

06:56

know in a perfect world would be okay

06:59

different different viewpoints in

07:00

all we don't really live in that world

07:03

so yeah the the the veracity of this

07:05

document is still very much under debate

07:07

uh obviously it's very old but how

07:09

accurate it

07:10

is as yet to be determined another Bible

07:13

related manuscript is the messet Kellum

07:15

or the tretis of the vessels it claims

07:17

to reveal what happened to the Ark of

07:19

the Covenant in King Solomon's Treasures

07:21

I mean don't we know what happened to

07:22

the Ark of the

07:24

Covenant feel like I've seen that

07:28

before

07:34

it lists items like 200,000 talents of

07:36

pearls 77 gold tablets from the walls of

07:39

Eden 1,000 liars and 7,000 loots all

07:42

these items were hidden in different

07:43

locations before the Babylonians

07:44

conquered Jerusalem and these locations

07:46

are purposefully obscure but also kind

07:48

of specific like in a tower or in the

07:51

spring of zedekiah Professor James deila

07:53

from St Andrew's University translated

07:55

the text but its age authorship and

07:56

origin are still uncertain there are

07:58

also two different versions of this the

08:00

first version was put into composite

08:01

Hebrew volumes between the 17th and 20th

08:03

centuries this version says that the

08:05

treasures are stashed away around

08:06

Babylon between the Euphrates and Tigris

08:08

Rivers the other version appears on two

08:10

ancient plaques and it says that the

08:12

treasures were stored in the Holy Land

08:13

either way Dila believes that U both of

08:16

these are basically fiction based on

08:18

different Legends as he told Live

08:19

Science in 2014 quote the writer draws

08:22

on traditional methods of scriptural

08:23

Exodus to deduce where the treasures

08:26

might have been hidden but I think the

08:27

writer was approaching the story as a

08:29

piece of entertaining fiction not any

08:30

kind of real guide for finding the Lost

08:32

Temple Treasures there are also some

08:34

similarities to The Copper Scroll which

08:35

is one of the Dead Sea Scrolls dating

08:37

back more than 1900 years for example

08:39

both texts refer to vessels and include

08:41

listings of gold so where do these

08:43

documents say that the arch of the

08:45

Covenant actually is

08:48

um well of course it's mysterious uh in

08:51

its own obscure way the text says that

08:52

the location won't be revealed until

08:54

quote the day of the coming of the

08:56

Messiah son of David So if you're

08:58

watching this and your name is David and

09:00

you have a child um please chime in in

09:02

the comments let us know if your child

09:04

is the Messiah cuz uh then we might

09:07

actually find out where this thing is in

09:09

1965 a team of looters Unearthed a few

09:11

items in a cave in Mexico they found

09:14

things like a wooden mask and a knife

09:15

with a handle shaped like a fist sounds

09:17

like some James Bond billain stuff they

09:19

also found a manuscript but because they

09:22

were looters they had trouble selling it

09:24

because people didn't think it was

09:25

authentic it was an 11-page manuscript

09:27

on bark paper that included images of

09:29

pre-colombian death Gods a calendar for

09:31

tracking Venus in Mayan images and

09:33

symbols it eventually found its way to a

09:35

book collector named hos Sans I think

09:37

I'm saying that right uh who had it

09:39

displayed at the groer club in New York

09:40

which is how it got its name the groer

09:42

Codex now when I first read that I

09:44

thought wow that's amazing and they

09:45

found this at some dance club in New

09:47

York no it's the groer club is a book

09:49

club they have exhibitions of rare books

09:52

and stuff like that

09:53

so not as interesting of a story it's

09:56

not as out of place there as it sounds

09:57

but because it was found by lutter and

09:59

because uh it kind of made its way to a

10:01

book club where it was on exhibition and

10:03

not quite you know in an academic sense

10:06

uh it was still considered by many to be

10:09

um inauthentic but in 2016 it was

10:12

officially determined to be genuine a

10:13

team of anthropologists archaeologists

10:15

and cultural experts examined the

10:16

document closely they looked at things

10:18

like its content its physical structure

10:20

and its style they used everything from

10:21

ultraviolet Imaging to X-rays and

10:23

microscopic analysis they even

10:24

radiocarbon dated it to the 13th century

10:27

so it's legit they were also able to

10:29

prove that the pigments and ink in the

10:31

manuscript contain no modern materials

10:33

that they were consistent with pigments

10:35

that were used in three other Maya Cotes

10:37

in fact the blue pigment found on one of

10:39

the pages is from Indigo die and

10:41

something called P gorite I think I'm

10:44

saying that right that's a clay mineral

10:45

that Mayans used for their blue pigments

10:47

and this material was only identified in

10:49

1964 and wasn't synthesized until the

10:51

1980s so yeah there's no way that the

10:53

looters could have made that ink back in

10:55

the' 60s there also images in the Codex

10:57

of the forger in the 1960s wouldn't have

10:59

known about like on one page uh there

11:01

was a mountain God picture with a Clift

11:03

in the center of his head that contains

11:04

maze kernels now that wouldn't mean

11:06

anything except that in 1974 a similar

11:08

image was found on a wall painting so

11:10

the forgers would have had to known

11:11

about that wall painting before faking a

11:13

book with that image in it and there's

11:15

no way they could have done that as for

11:17

what's in the groia Codex it's thought

11:19

that it has information about Venus's

11:20

role in Mayan astronomy and religion

11:22

also its drawings are really gnarly and

11:24

according to some places that I saw it's

11:27

considered the oldest manuscript in

11:29

North America today when we think of

11:30

spells and incantations and stuff like

11:32

that we think of witches and the dark

11:34

arts it's kind of frowned upon it's got

11:36

some you know Sinister motive to it but

11:38

there was a time in the ancient world

11:40

when you know incantations and spells

11:42

weren't frowned upon at all because

11:44

everybody believed in Magic and that's

11:46

where the Coptic Handbook of ritual

11:47

power comes into play it's also called

11:49

the Egyptian Handbook of ritual power

11:51

just amazing Name by the way but it was

11:53

only deciphered recently in 2014 by two

11:55

Australian researchers an antiques

11:57

dealer sold it to mcquary University

11:58

University in Australia in 1981 and yeah

12:01

researchers took a look at it and they

12:02

figured out that it's a handbook for

12:04

rituals and spells some of the Spells

12:06

include spells for love spells for

12:08

curing black jaundice and instructions

12:09

for performing an exorcism overall there

12:11

are 20 pages of parchment offering 27

12:14

spells and several incantations and

12:16

illustrations and at one time it may

12:17

have actually been two documents that

12:19

were combined into one later on Scholars

12:21

are unsure of exactly where it was

12:23

originally found but they believe that

12:24

somebody wrote it in pre-islamic Upper

12:26

Egypt around 1300 years ago there are

12:28

several references says to Jesus and the

12:29

sethians in the manuscript uh the

12:31

sethians were religious groups who

12:33

identified with Seth which is Adam and

12:35

Eve's third son the groups also

12:36

identified with a Godlike being named

12:38

bacoa uh this figure opens up the Codex

12:40

with these lines I give thanks to you

12:42

and I call upon you the bacoa the great

12:44

one who is very trustworthy the one who

12:46

is Lord over the 40 and the nine kinds

12:48

of serpents the translators think the

12:50

person who wrote this was not a priest

12:52

necessarily but maybe a scholar who was

12:55

writing this as a way to help people

12:56

achieve their goals like for example

12:58

there are spells in in there to help

12:59

someone do better in business or to get

13:00

along with other people in a way you

13:02

could say this was like the first

13:04

self-help book but with

13:06

magic and before we get to the last

13:08

manuscript there are some honorable

13:09

mentions we want to throw out there some

13:11

other mysterious items that are worth

13:13

checking out the colonial era Jamestown

13:15

slate was found in an old well in

13:16

Jamestown Virginia and has overlapping

13:18

scratched inscriptions and drawings of a

13:20

man dressed in a ruffle collar the lands

13:22

of the pur rise map is a 1513 document

13:25

that shows mountains in South America

13:26

that were unknown at the time in a det

13:28

deted Antarctica without ice even though

13:30

it's been covered in ice for 6,000 years

13:32

easter island has wood tablets that

13:34

contain an undecipherable rango rango

13:36

script that runs left to right and then

13:38

right to left when turned upside down

13:40

and then there's the feos disc which has

13:41

242 symbols that show things like an

13:44

arrow a beehive a cat a tree and a

13:46

tattooed head that may be phonetic

13:48

groups but since there aren't that many

13:49

of them they can't be deciphered if any

13:51

of those sound interesting enough for

13:52

its own video let me know down below now

13:54

last but not least we have the book of

13:56

soyga and according to 16th century

13:58

scholar and Mystic John D the book of

14:00

SOA was actually transcribed By Angels

14:02

for Adam while he was in Eden it was a

14:04

medium named Edward Kelly that told him

14:06

this U even though D was a man of

14:09

science he was also interested in the

14:10

occult so of course it makes sense that

14:12

the book of sorga was part of his

14:13

Library it's a 200 Page book written in

14:16

Latin and seems to be about Renaissance

14:17

magical practices and beliefs uh now

14:19

part of the book includes sections on

14:21

astronomy the identification of specific

14:23

Angels summoning demons and of course

14:26

magic so de understood the Latin text

14:29

but the book's 36 Pages were confusing

14:31

to him because each page contains a

14:33

square of 36 rows and 36 Columns of

14:35

seemingly random Latin letters that's a

14:38

total of

14:39

46,656 characters D couldn't decode it

14:42

and that's why he asked the medium

14:44

Edward Kelly for answers and he was told

14:46

that only the Archangel Michael could

14:47

translate it or if anybody did figure

14:49

out how to translate that section they'd

14:51

be cursed to die within two and a half

14:52

years so you guys just stay away from it

14:56

now the text itself does post some some

14:58

problems like some of the the Latin

14:59

words appear written backward for no

15:00

apparent reason uh in fact the word SOA

15:03

may actually be the reverse of agios

15:05

which is a Greek word for sacred or holy

15:07

the book was auctioned off in 1608 after

15:09

d died and then was just basically lost

15:11

for about 400 years but two copies were

15:13

found in 1994 one in the British library

15:15

in London and another in the bodland

15:17

library at Oxford but then in 2006

15:19

mathematician and cryptologist Jim Reeds

15:21

figured out that code not to get too In

15:23

The Weeds about it but each table is

15:25

based on a magic word of six letters

15:27

this is the seed word and it's different

15:29

on each page he discovered that the

15:30

first 24 tables are named after

15:32

constellations in the Zodiac two tables

15:34

for each sign and then there are seven

15:36

tables named after planes four after

15:38

natural elements and one after the

15:40

figure of Magister or master so even

15:42

with the code correct we still don't

15:43

really know what it all means now one

15:45

theory is that it's a representation of

15:47

the universe oh and remember that curse

15:49

well Jim Reeds is still alive

15:52

so but then again he only cracked the

15:54

code he didn't figure out its meaning so

15:57

the book of SOA is definitely ancient

15:59

and it's definitely weird uh it's got a

16:01

lot of mysteries around it but uh maybe

16:04

maybe we'll figure out its meaning as

16:05

time goes on so what do all of these

16:08

mysterious codes and manuscripts have in

16:10

common um outside of the fact that like

16:12

we're just look we're humans we we love

16:14

a good mystery we love making sense of

16:16

the world and and and you know figuring

16:18

out patterns and whatnot we're just

16:20

wired that way but something that I

16:22

always wonder whenever I run across

16:23

these stories about like mysterious

16:25

ancient documents and stuff like that

16:26

was um how do we know they're not just

16:29

people being creative because yes we we

16:31

love a good mystery and we love solving

16:33

Mysteries and whatnot but we're also

16:34

creative people we're artists the very

16:36

first things we did was put art on the

16:38

walls of caves and stuff like that so

16:40

how do we know that this isn't just

16:42

people being creative you know like we

16:44

tend to treat everything that's written

16:45

in the past like it's some kind of pure

16:46

document but most of what we write today

16:49

is fiction or some kind of you know

16:52

creative thing so who's to say that they

16:55

weren't just making up stories back then

16:56

like we do today like I've joked before

16:58

that if people from the future applied

16:59

the same logic to today as we ascribe to

17:02

the Past then they might find a Harry

17:04

Potter book and think that we all had

17:05

magical powers so yeah what if these

17:07

manuscripts and codes were just people

17:09

having fun what if the book of Judas was

17:11

a kind of fanfiction or alternative

17:13

history exercise I like to consider that

17:15

but there's also the other side of the

17:17

coin which is that you know way back in

17:19

in that time the ability to write was so

17:21

rare and the process of creating

17:23

documents was so labor intensive um it

17:25

was probably unlikely that people would

17:26

have gone through all that just on a goo

17:28

but think people do some crazy stuff in

17:30

the in the spirit of just being creative

17:32

so who knows either way I find all of

17:35

these just fascinating and I'm curious

17:37

to see what else comes up these ancient

17:39

documents might not ever fully be solved

17:41

but the search is still worth doing

17:43

these documents were how we shared

17:44

information back in the day it was it

17:45

was how we learned today of course we

17:48

learn most things online from news sites

17:50

social media handsome science

17:52

communicators on YouTube and today's

17:54

sponsor brilliant the handsome science

17:56

Communicator is of course Scott Manley

17:58

and

17:59

Manley is writing his name but about

18:01

brilliant if you haven't tried brilliant

18:02

you're missing out on the most intuitive

18:04

brain hacking learning platform out

18:06

there where you learn by solving

18:07

problems and puzzles and playing games

18:09

so it kind of weaponizes your natural

18:11

problem solving mechanism so you learn

18:13

it in a way that makes sense to you and

18:14

you can apply it to other areas of your

18:16

life there's over 110 courses on there

18:18

from basic foundational math stuff to

18:20

Advanced quantum physics stuff and if

18:22

you're into solving Mysteries and I'm

18:24

assuming you are CU you watch this video

18:25

then check it out they've got a whole

18:26

learning path for logic and deduction

18:29

you'll be thinking like Sherlock Holmes

18:30

in no time plus they've got case studies

18:32

that teach you things that you can use

18:33

yourself like maximizing electric car

18:35

value and how to go viral on a and the

18:38

list goes on and on and if you sign up

18:39

through my link below you'll get 30 days

18:41

to try it out for free and see what you

18:43

think if it doesn't live up no harm no

18:45

foul but if you do think it's got the

18:46

potential to transform your thinking you

18:48

can get 20% off the annual plan but

18:50

18:53

today's video so give it a look if you

18:55

haven't or if you haven't looked in a

18:57

long time uh there's a whole lot of new

18:58

stuff now it's worth another look so

19:01

it's also a lot more interactive than it

19:02

used to be anyway that's brilliant.org

19:04

aners with Joe you can find the link

19:06

down in the description and thanks to

19:08

brilliant for being such a big supporter

19:09

of the Channel all right so that's it

19:10

for today uh go check out the voyage

19:12

manuscript video which is right here you

19:14

can go check that out and uh or just go

19:16

look at any of the videos that you know

19:18

maybe have my face on click them like

19:20
