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

00:00:10.689 --> 00:00:14.009
有本 240 頁嘅孤本書

00:00:14.719 --> 00:00:17.523
經碳年代測定法鑑定為
大概 1420 年嘅書

00:00:17.523 --> 00:00:19.984
佢嘅牛皮頁上有圈形嘅字跡

00:00:19.984 --> 00:00:23.369
有好似夢境嘅圖案

00:00:23.979 --> 00:00:25.733
有真嘅同想像出來嘅植物

00:00:25.733 --> 00:00:27.350
有空中漂浮嘅城堡

00:00:27.350 --> 00:00:28.762
喺度沖涼嘅女人

00:00:28.762 --> 00:00:30.263
占星術圖

00:00:30.263 --> 00:00:31.499
星座戒指

00:00:31.499 --> 00:00:34.260
同有人面嘅日月

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

00:00:41.540 --> 00:00:44.649
係歷史上最大嘅未解之謎之一

00:00:44.649 --> 00:00:45.890
點解呢？

00:00:45.890 --> 00:00:48.101
因為冇人知道呢本書講咩

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

00:00:51.190 --> 00:00:54.660
佢係個波蘭嘅書商

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

00:00:56.769 --> 00:00:57.941
呢本書使佢困惑

00:00:57.941 --> 00:00:59.011
邊個寫咗呢本書嚟？

00:00:59.011 --> 00:01:00.431
喺邊度寫嘅？

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？

00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:06.691
書裡邊到底有咩秘密？

00:01:06.691 --> 00:01:09.671
教會學校手頭緊
於是賣咗個手稿畀佢

00:01:09.671 --> 00:01:11.572
之後佢帶咗手稿去美國

00:01:11.572 --> 00:01:15.081
喺美国，專家繼續被本書所困惑

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

00:01:20.081 --> 00:01:22.651
只不過從來冇人見過呢個語言

00:01:22.651 --> 00:01:25.391
點解噉講嚟？
因為喺真實嘅語言裡邊

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

00:01:29.391 --> 00:01:31.511
伏尼契手稿裡邊嘅語言含有嘅特徵

00:01:31.511 --> 00:01:35.342
唔可能係隨機生成

00:01:35.342 --> 00:01:37.962
除咗呢啲，其他就唔清楚喇

00:01:38.712 --> 00:01:41.244
字母嘅風格同高矮各有唔同

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

00:01:44.943 --> 00:01:48.262
高一啲嘅字母被稱為「托架抄本」

00:01:48.262 --> 00:01:50.482
呢部手稿從頭到尾

00:01:50.482 --> 00:01:52.592
都有漩渦形嘅裝飾圖案

00:01:52.592 --> 00:01:55.213
佢好似有兩個人以上嘅筆跡

00:01:55.213 --> 00:01:57.863
而畫畫就係另外一班人

00:01:58.273 --> 00:02:03.693
噉多年以来，
關於呢本書有三種推測

00:02:03.693 --> 00:02:06.042
第一种，呢本書用密文

00:02:06.042 --> 00:02:09.243
專登掩蓋某啲秘密

00:02:10.263 --> 00:02:12.575
第二种，呢本書就係

00:02:12.575 --> 00:02:16.213
整出來呃人錢財嘅局

00:02:16.213 --> 00:02:19.133
有人認為啲作者就係個中世紀嘅老千

00:02:19.133 --> 00:02:22.063
有人認為係伏尼契自己設局

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

00:02:26.523 --> 00:02:28.695
只不過冇人明

00:02:28.695 --> 00:02:31.674
又或者，寫呢本書嘅人係

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

00:02:35.123 --> 00:02:37.864
如果係噉，伏尼契手稿就可能

00:02:37.864 --> 00:02:40.684
好似復活島嘅朗格朗格手稿

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

00:02:45.005 --> 00:02:47.284
儘管冇人明白伏尼契手稿

00:02:47.284 --> 00:02:50.145
但係有好多人仲喺度估佢講咩

00:02:50.145 --> 00:02:52.853
有人認為佢喺度創造

00:02:52.853 --> 00:02:54.736
一種新嘅書面語言

00:02:54.736 --> 00:02:56.995
伏尼契手稿又可能係個

00:02:56.995 --> 00:03:00.285
創造呢種語言嘅文化嘅百科全書

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

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

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

00:03:12.496 --> 00:03:15.257
尊迪曾經研究過煉藥術同占卜術

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

00:03:19.073 --> 00:03:21.516
甚至有人諗作者係火星人

00:03:22.246 --> 00:03:24.116
度橋度咗成百年後

00:03:24.116 --> 00:03:27.576
啲科學家終於有咗啲頭緒

00:03:27.576 --> 00:03:30.193
第一個突破就係用碳素測年法

00:03:30.193 --> 00:03:33.496
測到呢份手稿嘅起源

00:03:33.496 --> 00:03:37.546
大概喺 1612 年嘅羅馬或者布拉格

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

00:03:41.287 --> 00:03:44.477
轉手畀佢嘅醫生
雅各布斯．希納皮亞斯

00:03:44.477 --> 00:03:46.801
除咗呢哋突破

00:03:46.801 --> 00:03:48.747
啲語言學家啱啱

00:03:48.747 --> 00:03:52.328
暫定識別咗手稿裡邊嘅幾個文字

00:03:53.698 --> 00:03:56.938
呢度七粒星隔离嘅文字
會唔會係 Tauran

00:03:56.938 --> 00:03:58.523
既係金牛座嘅别稱

00:03:58.523 --> 00:04:02.437
一個包含昴宿星團嘅星座？

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？

00:04:06.807 --> 00:04:09.698
有可能嘅，不過進展就好慢

00:04:09.698 --> 00:04:12.527
如果我哋破解咗密碼，我哋會發現咩？

00:04:12.527 --> 00:04:14.959
一個 15 世纪插圖家嘅夢記？

00:04:14.959 --> 00:04:16.692
一堆胡言亂語？

00:04:16.692 --> 00:04:19.488
仲係一個被遺忘嘅文明嘅
失傳嘅知識？

00:04:19.488 --> 00:04:21.477
你點睇嚟？
