This manuscript has baffled experts around the world for more than a century. Until recently, Dr. Gerard Cheshire, a researcher at the University of Bristol, believed he had finally cracked the code.
Although the specific results have not been revealed, Dr. Gerard Cheshire used a combination of thinking and ingenuity to decipher. Dr Cheshire also claims to have identified the language and writing system used in the document.
Dr Gerard Cheshire emphasizes it is a combination of strange and familiar symbols with no dedicated punctuation, although some letters have sign variants to indicate punctuation or phonetics. All letters are lowercase and there are no double consonants. It also includes some Latin words and abbreviations.
For example, the word “palina” is a stick used to measure the depth of water, sometimes called a stadia stick or ruler.
Having established the language used, Dr Cheshire is now able to begin to understand the contents of the manuscript. What it reveals is even more amazing than our myths and fantasies, he added.
Dr. Cheshire had plans to translate the entire manuscript. However, this can take quite a while as the manuscript is quite long.
