Six discoveries that science can't explain

I searched for this article on here but couldn't see it so apologies if it has already "done the rounds"

I thought this was a very interesting article with some items I have never heard of before. The number one seems a bit stupid, but the others are very intriguing.

cheers - not sure how I managed to mess that up! I've edited it now

mmm..I'm still having trouble connecting, with either link. Diagnostics ping the site but gets no response.
I'll wait and see if any options appear, sounds interesting.

Any way you could quote the article? I'm highly interested, but the site is blocked here at work.

Oh man, that was pretty funny.

I think this was the best line in the whole thing:

They have been chiseled to perfection by persons unknown, despite the fact that Costa Rica is still not scheduled to enter the Bronze Age until 2013.

In all seriousness now, that one about that book intrigues me. That is something I wish that they could decipher.

wow who ever wrote that is pretty funny, i laughed aloud a few times.

Not too sure what is wrong with the site, but I'll copy & paste as much over here (I have tried to take out swear words, but apologies if I have missed any!):

The Voynich Manuscript


The Voynich manuscript is an ancient book that has thwarted all attempts at deciphering its contents. And it's not like some idiot just scribbled a bunch of nonsense on paper and went, "Figure THIS out, #wads." It is actually an organized book with a consistent script, discernible organization and detailed illustrations.

It appears to be a real language--just one that nobody has seen before. And it really does appear to mean something. But nobody knows what.

Why Can't They Solve It?

Could you? Look at this:


Don't even try. Expert military code-breakers, cryptographers, mathematicians, linguists, people who get paid to find and decipher patterns, have all been left unable to decipher a single word.

As you can imagine, proposed solutions have been all over the board, from reasonable to completely clowns**t. Some say it's an unbreakable code that requires a key to solve. Some say it's a hoax, and a damned fine one if we do say ourselves. Some say it's glossolalia, which is the fine art of speaking or writing something you don't understand but that is being channeled to you by God or aliens or whatever (note that the word was chosen specifically to make you sound retarded when saying it).

Our Guess:

It's written in English, by a person who was extremely s****y at writing in English.

Interesting video, makes me wonder why this technology died out. If it was continued at the same pace who knows what kind of civilisation we'd be in now!

the one that looks like a railtrack into a tunnel certainly intrigues me. `Good videos thanks!

Your very welcome, I aim to please

Pretty badly written, with no real insight into anyof the discovories. seems to me that he has just looked up some ooparts, took a few notes from someof the millions of webpages, and added loads of swearing.

Look past the presentation and it is still interesting. I like to curse now and again. [SNIP] are emotional "station words" ( A word from bill and ted's that could mean anything you wanted to mean. I don't understand why some people are offended by certain sound vibrations made by the voice box. I do giggle so.
