1
00:00:06,679 --> 00:00:10,689
喺耶魯大學嘅
拜內克古籍缮本圖書館度

2
00:00:10,689 --> 00:00:14,009
有本 240 頁嘅孤本書

3
00:00:14,719 --> 00:00:17,523
經碳年代測定法鑑定為
大概 1420 年嘅書

4
00:00:17,523 --> 00:00:19,984
佢嘅牛皮頁上有圈形嘅字跡

5
00:00:19,984 --> 00:00:23,369
有好似夢境嘅圖案

6
00:00:23,979 --> 00:00:25,733
有真嘅同想像出來嘅植物

7
00:00:25,733 --> 00:00:27,350
有空中漂浮嘅城堡

8
00:00:27,350 --> 00:00:28,762
喺度沖涼嘅女人

9
00:00:28,762 --> 00:00:30,263
占星術圖

10
00:00:30,263 --> 00:00:31,499
星座戒指

11
00:00:31,499 --> 00:00:34,260
同有人面嘅日月

12
00:00:37,010 --> 00:00:41,540
呢個長 24 厘米，闊 16 厘米
嘅書叫做伏尼契手稿

13
00:00:41,540 --> 00:00:44,649
係歷史上最大嘅未解之謎之一

14
00:00:44,649 --> 00:00:45,890
點解呢？

15
00:00:45,890 --> 00:00:48,101
因為冇人知道呢本書講咩

16
00:00:49,261 --> 00:00:51,190
書名來自一個叫
威爾弗雷德．伏尼契嘅人

17
00:00:51,190 --> 00:00:54,660
佢係個波蘭嘅書商

18
00:00:54,660 --> 00:00:56,439
喺 1912 年喺意大利嘅
一個耶穌會學校度撞啱見到呢本書

19
00:00:56,769 --> 00:00:57,941
呢本書使佢困惑

20
00:00:57,941 --> 00:00:59,011
邊個寫咗呢本書嚟？

21
00:00:59,011 --> 00:01:00,431
喺邊度寫嘅？

22
00:01:00,431 --> 00:01:03,750
呢哋古怪嘅文字
同充滿活力嘅圖案代表咩？

23
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,691
書裡邊到底有咩秘密？

24
00:01:06,691 --> 00:01:09,671
教會學校手頭緊
於是賣咗個手稿畀佢

25
00:01:09,671 --> 00:01:11,572
之後佢帶咗手稿去美國

26
00:01:11,572 --> 00:01:15,081
喺美国，專家繼續被本書所困惑

27
00:01:16,191 --> 00:01:20,081
密碼學家話，書裡文字
有一個真正語言含有嘅全部特徵

28
00:01:20,081 --> 00:01:22,651
只不過從來冇人見過呢個語言

29
00:01:22,651 --> 00:01:25,391
點解噉講嚟？
因為喺真實嘅語言裡邊

30
00:01:25,391 --> 00:01:29,391
文字或者特定嘅文字組合
會以一定嘅頻率出現

31
00:01:29,391 --> 00:01:31,511
伏尼契手稿裡邊嘅語言含有嘅特徵

32
00:01:31,511 --> 00:01:35,342
唔可能係隨機生成

33
00:01:35,342 --> 00:01:37,962
除咗呢啲，其他就唔清楚喇

34
00:01:38,712 --> 00:01:41,244
字母嘅風格同高矮各有唔同

35
00:01:41,244 --> 00:01:44,333
有啲字母係抄自其他語言
但係好多字母係獨一無二嘅

36
00:01:44,943 --> 00:01:48,262
高一啲嘅字母被稱為「托架抄本」

37
00:01:48,262 --> 00:01:50,482
呢部手稿從頭到尾

38
00:01:50,482 --> 00:01:52,592
都有漩渦形嘅裝飾圖案

39
00:01:52,592 --> 00:01:55,213
佢好似有兩個人以上嘅筆跡

40
00:01:55,213 --> 00:01:57,863
而畫畫就係另外一班人

41
00:01:58,273 --> 00:02:03,693
噉多年以来，
關於呢本書有三種推測

42
00:02:03,693 --> 00:02:06,042
第一种，呢本書用密文

43
00:02:06,042 --> 00:02:09,243
專登掩蓋某啲秘密

44
00:02:10,263 --> 00:02:12,575
第二种，呢本書就係

45
00:02:12,575 --> 00:02:16,213
整出來呃人錢財嘅局

46
00:02:16,213 --> 00:02:19,133
有人認為啲作者就係個中世紀嘅老千

47
00:02:19,133 --> 00:02:22,063
有人認為係伏尼契自己設局

48
00:02:22,793 --> 00:02:26,523
第三种推測係
呢個手稿確實係一種特殊語言寫嘅

49
00:02:26,523 --> 00:02:28,695
只不過冇人明

50
00:02:28,695 --> 00:02:31,674
又或者，寫呢本書嘅人係

51
00:02:31,674 --> 00:02:35,123
一群嘗試為一種口頭語言
建立字母嘅中世紀學者

52
00:02:35,123 --> 00:02:37,864
如果係噉，伏尼契手稿就可能

53
00:02:37,864 --> 00:02:40,684
好似復活島嘅朗格朗格手稿

54
00:02:40,684 --> 00:02:43,715
因為當年嘅文明已經消失
宜家就冇人睇得明

55
00:02:45,005 --> 00:02:47,284
儘管冇人明白伏尼契手稿

56
00:02:47,284 --> 00:02:50,145
但係有好多人仲喺度估佢講咩

57
00:02:50,145 --> 00:02:52,853
有人認為佢喺度創造

58
00:02:52,853 --> 00:02:54,736
一種新嘅書面語言

59
00:02:54,736 --> 00:02:56,995
伏尼契手稿又可能係個

60
00:02:56,995 --> 00:03:00,285
創造呢種語言嘅文化嘅百科全書

61
00:03:00,285 --> 00:03:04,406
仲有人諗伏尼契手稿嘅作者
係 13 世紀哲學家羅傑培根

62
00:03:04,406 --> 00:03:08,127
培根曾經嘗試理解
所有語言共有嘅語法法則

63
00:03:08,127 --> 00:03:12,496
手稿嘅作者又可能係 16 世紀
伊麗莎白時代嘅神秘主義者尊迪

64
00:03:12,496 --> 00:03:15,257
尊迪曾經研究過煉藥術同占卜術

65
00:03:15,257 --> 00:03:19,073
更加邊緣嘅理論認為
作者係一班意大利嘅巫婆

66
00:03:19,073 --> 00:03:21,516
甚至有人諗作者係火星人

67
00:03:22,246 --> 00:03:24,116
度橋度咗成百年後

68
00:03:24,116 --> 00:03:27,576
啲科學家終於有咗啲頭緒

69
00:03:27,576 --> 00:03:30,193
第一個突破就係用碳素測年法

70
00:03:30,193 --> 00:03:33,496
測到呢份手稿嘅起源

71
00:03:33,496 --> 00:03:37,546
大概喺 1612 年嘅羅馬或者布拉格

72
00:03:37,546 --> 00:03:41,287
佢可能係神聖羅馬帝國皇帝魯道夫二世

73
00:03:41,287 --> 00:03:44,477
轉手畀佢嘅醫生
雅各布斯．希納皮亞斯

74
00:03:44,477 --> 00:03:46,801
除咗呢哋突破

75
00:03:46,801 --> 00:03:48,747
啲語言學家啱啱

76
00:03:48,747 --> 00:03:52,328
暫定識別咗手稿裡邊嘅幾個文字

77
00:03:53,698 --> 00:03:56,938
呢度七粒星隔离嘅文字
會唔會係 Tauran

78
00:03:56,938 --> 00:03:58,523
既係金牛座嘅别稱

79
00:03:58,523 --> 00:04:02,437
一個包含昴宿星團嘅星座？

80
00:04:02,437 --> 00:04:06,807
呢個字會唔會係 Centaurun
即係圖裡邊嘅矢車菊？

81
00:04:06,807 --> 00:04:09,698
有可能嘅，不過進展就好慢

82
00:04:09,698 --> 00:04:12,527
如果我哋破解咗密碼，我哋會發現咩？

83
00:04:12,527 --> 00:04:14,959
一個 15 世纪插圖家嘅夢記？

84
00:04:14,959 --> 00:04:16,692
一堆胡言亂語？

85
00:04:16,692 --> 00:04:19,488
仲係一個被遺忘嘅文明嘅
失傳嘅知識？

86
00:04:19,488 --> 00:04:21,477
你點睇嚟？
