Athanasius Kirchner a Jesuit scholar working in Rome published Mundo Subteraneus a publication which include a upside down map of Atlantis that is most famous ever drawn.
What made the book unique was was it’s minuscule handwritten text composed of alphabetic characters completely indescribable.
Kirchner didn’t dare to pretend to have broken the misterios manuscript.
After Kirchner death the manuscript was lost until 1912 when it was purchased by an antique dealer Wilfrid Voynich. Byn1969 what is now as the Voynich Manuscript made its way to Yale University.
There it fell into the hands of a philosophy professor named Robert Brumbaugh.
Robert Brumbaugh who died in 1992 was no a typical philosophy professor. He worked as a code breaker in the US Army Signal Corps during World War II.
Brumbaugh concluded that the text might have been a “treatise on the Elixir of Life”.
