Aliens Left Their Book Behind in the 1400s

The mysterious Voynich Manuscript — a book seemingly written in an alien language that’s mystified experts since it was discovered in 1912 — has now been carbon-dated to somewhere between 1404 and 1438.

From the looks of it, the aliens were really interested in plants. Or were they simply drawing portraits of themselves? I’d recommend experts hold the pages up to a mirror, because doing that reveals some pretty straightforward text: “This planet is OK, but mostly it sucks and I wish we could go home. OR that my mom would let me draw pictures of the people we’re going to kill, but she’s always like, ‘No, you keep doing the plants.’ Ugh, I hate plants.”
