The strange old book nobody can reliably read

The Voynich manuscript is an old book filled with unfamiliar writing and puzzling drawings, including plants. No translation has been widely accepted.

Symbols repeat in groups that look like words. But finding a pattern does not tell us what a word means.

A convincing translation must make sense of the writing across the book, not just turn a few groups of symbols into familiar words.
