FIVE WEIRD AND STRANGE MANUSCRIPTS

1. THE RIPLEY SCROLL

Section from the Ripley Scroll

Section from the Ripley Scroll

A section of the original Ripley Scroll that refers to the "Serpent of Arabia'. The traditional assumption is that this is code for "Aqua Fortis" or nitric acid but there may be another meaning! Very recent advances in modern medicine have begun to reveal that the alchemists, and Ripley in particular, may have known something as yet unexplored. We have new and original research that we'll explain soon.


2. THE PROPHECIES OF M. MICHEL NOSTRADAMUS

Strange - The Prophecies of Nostradamus

The frightening part is that many of Nostradamus' prophecies do seem to make sense and can be linked to events that have happened or look likely to happen. Is this a case of making vague nonsense fit the facts or proof of a divine plan with unrevealed power – you decide?

3. THE CODEX SERAPHINIANUS

Codex Seraphinianus

Our resident linguist was amused to dissemble the title and play with the words. “Codex Seraph In I Anus”. For example: Codex can mean Book or Collection of Writings. A Seraph is also a Seraphim or Angel. The word Angel originally meant Messenger or Message. The word In can also mean From. The word I can also refer to My. And Anus is another word for Rectum. So the title could be constructed to read “A collection of wisdom that is a message from my rectum. In the colloquial” “I’m talking out of my Ass.” It’s probably just a coincidence but still a brilliant joke if true.

4. THE PRODIGIORUM AC OSTENTORUM

The Prodigiorum ac Book

The recognisable but also the weird and strange

Strange Dodo


5. THE EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD

The Papyrus of Ani depicting the Weighing of the Heart

What makes "The Scroll of the Dead" so weird and strange? As far as we know all religious texts throughout all time have dealt with how you should live your life while you are alive in order to be worthy to reach a pleasant afterlife. The "Scroll of The Dead" is the only document that provides practical advice and support about what to do when you reach the other side. Now that should make you pause and think.
