The Voynich manuscript did not give us text but we did manage to identify some of the plants and constellation and most agree is a manual for something akin to a midwife that use astrological events as times to harvest various plant ingredients.

6:15 the answer is simple: sometimes when building a structure is more economical to use the remains of a previous one. You reinforce the walls , add maybe a foundation , modify to suit your needs and that is it. Most likely the guy used an earlier wall left in ruins as base for his mill. Now what was before the mill that structure is up to debate

18:31 there is a small or rather big issue here. The document as I understand it talks about the absolving of a few members of the knight templars not all. Maybe those few escaped the flames or maybe they repeated the offense.

10:03 simple solution. It is a simple forgery. You take an old stone, one that you know is as old as one needs it to be. Then you write the inscriptions on it. Burry it in the ground. Then discover it a few years or decades after.

15:52 I have a better theory. Soldiers sitting on patrol duty with nothing better to do carved them and used them to play. We do not know why they were abandoned, maybe an attack maybe an unexpected command to move out.

❤ They were in pieces because they were using it for currency.😊

13:02 and they won't be able to unless time machine gets invented. But probably they sold it at some point or wanted to do so. Most common reason for forgeries always was money

2:55 Diet is the only plausible explanation for the color change so it kinda is proof. Regarding where the children came from is up to debate but again survivors of some human group that got decimated in the war again is the only plausible explanation.
