Mysterious Books History Can't Explain

- There are certain books that aren't exactly listed in great detail on Amazon. These weird and mysterious works often have unknown authors and describe forgotten histories or strange and fantastical worlds. There are some books that are so mysterious that no one has ever been able to read them, written in cryptic codes that have yet to be cracked. Some contain odd pictures depicting fights or the origin of the Earth or flora and fauna we've never seen.

And to think The Library of Alexandria probably had some really crazy stuff that we will never know about.
So true
And it wasn't set fire 🔥 by Gomez's ancestor
I went to a local estate auction back in 2012. This was one of the most fascinating auctions I ever gone to. A 96 year old lady had passed away and the house where the auction was taking place is where the lady was born in. As it turned out, her gradparents built that house around shortly before the Civil War.
What was so unique was the fact that is was obvious this 2-story house has not changed much through the years except for the fact you could tell that the kitchen was updated with modern plumbling, sink, cabinet around 1930ish - 1940ish era. - I bought many items at this auction. I bought many boxes of books.
One book in particular stuck out the most to me and I still have. It was written in early 1850s. It is a guide for women on what it takes to get a date, how to marry, how to cook, and the whole guide to everything.... even hygiene to birth.
Oh my goodness, I bet it's an absolute treasure trove of anachronistic opinions and advice. Do you recall the name of the book?
Were there any old encyclopedias or books on world history? I love those old weird books.
@@LindseyLouWho - I tell you what, I have all the old books on a big bookshelve but not where I like them to be..... in a storage building behind my house. I will hunt it down and get the title for you. My wife really liked this and it is possible she may have it inside the house. Give me a few days and I will get back with you
@@Peppersfirst - I am sure there are. I bought boxes of these books and do have them on a bookshelf in a storage building. (no worry, they are staying dry) I need to look through these books again.
One thing I remember was that the lady grandfather was a Doctor during the Civil War. They auctioned off his medical bag... bone saw included. I am sure there are medical books and probably encyclopedia and I am sure world history as well.
There were a few books I did have that were so rare people came to me and offered big money on them (not at the auction) I can not remember what books those were.
😂😂
Oh, so this isn't about my diary....
stupid comment
I've read that years ago and I stll have nightmares.
@Fucktheleft856
EXTREMELY
It's spelled diarrhea...
😆😆😆
I’ve never known a psychiatrist/psychologist who DIDN’T have serious, psychological problems….It’s why they’re drawn to the profession : To fix themselves.
… you cannot *practice* with serious psychological problems, unless you are practicing in a lawless country with no patient rights and bodies that work to prevent malpractice. Take your prejudice with you as you take several seats. I became a therapist because of my love for human beings. I knew what I wanted to study at 15. You get tested and observed before you can practice alone where I live, and moreover you can have your license stripped away from you. Stop spreading misinformation that will prevent others from finding help. The same way you cannot treat a broken leg yourself, you cannot treat an anxiety disorder yourself. There are reliable, validated methods. Oh, and both Jung and Freud are considered hacks by actual psychologists. Jung is not even taught at uni in most places (due to possible nazi affiliations) and Freud is taught as a historical phenomenon to 1st years.
Well, just because they're nutters doesn't mean they're crazy
The psychiatrist I saw in my early 20s committed suicide. I didn't find out until I tried to make another followup appointment, was told he passed away, and looked up his name.
@@aprilmeowmeow That's not encouraging. Sorry to hear that though
That slash fiction joke made me spit out my coffee ! 😂😂😂
I've been deep down the Voynich manuscript rabbit hole before. It's really impressive and fascinating!
There is an excellent video of that on Decoding the Unknown.
It’s basically a coded alchemical “how to do it” book. They were probably stoned out of their minds from inhaling toxic fumes.
I got a tattoo with some of the text, I got real sick of explaining it
You should check out the physical copy you can buy online-I have it at home and the margins are bigger so you can add your own notes :)
If you like science fiction, there's a book series called 'The Genesis Machine' about the VM
If I were to ever write (or have one written for me) an autobiography, I could hear it's narration in this guy's voice! His voice is recognizable and as ingrained in my mind just as much as Morgan Freeman's is. I can't think of anything that could be more praise than that! Thank you sir!
It's amusing how they play a Chanukah song with the story of the Passover Hagadah. Sort of like playing Jingle Bells for a bit on the 4th of July.
i was looking to see if anyone noticed that 😅
also like when i saw a picture of Chanukah Hamantaschen😄
My dad is an oncologist/hematologist and his name is Al. His license plate is, ALCHEMY, because curing these diseases is like turning lead into gold.
What if Luigi Serafini wrote his Codex as a cheeky homage to the Voynich Manuscript?
I was thinking the same thing
10:03 I checked out Carl Jung's Red Book with Interlibrary Loan, through the public library system.
The book costed $300-$500 dollars to buy at the time.
Of course! It's always Nostradamus! I bet he knew he would be a subject here 😁
@Fucktheleft856 Love your handle. No idea why you'd have a new account lol
He was a true man that for told the future
I love the passion you have for your topic, it's infectious! I love how informative your videos are, I always learn something new. Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to the next episodes!
After seeing TempleOS, I'm increasingly thinking Voynich manuscript could have been a product of schizophrenia. It is unsettling how self consistent works produced by such a person can be, and wow can they be focused. All you need is one wealthy noble's kid with a wonky brain and a bit of luck for the piece to survive (since most books from the era are lost)
A+ video!
LOVE IT! Fascinating topic and books!
“History can’t explain this book written in the 1979s by a guy who explained why he wrote it.”
2:55 The Urantia book sounds very intriguing!
I think it sounds questionable, but most books do. Except Star Wars of course
It is! Foundation of my core beliefs about how science, evolution, and Christ can all be true
Thanks WH! What a perfect way to end 2023! Happy New year🎉
My brother and I went insane studying the Voynich Manuscript. Fist fights, not speaking to each other for months we really lost it. In the end we believe it to be a joke written in the 1700s by a Belgian monk who just was tired of mucking out stables.
Why do you say that?
@@Noneofyourbusiness57817 the joke hypothesis is a common one. While it would have been extremely expensive to produce, it is not outside the range of what a bored noble or monk with a sense of humor could produce.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this! 📚
Love me some Weird History
Wtf muh evil left@Fucktheleft856
@Fucktheleft856 Pepto Bismol helps with that.
@Fucktheleft856 Are you having a problem with leaking?
Again, glad to see literary history, thank you!
I read The Red Book, I was able to have it sent to the nearby library through Interlibrary Loan.
Buying the book at the time costed someone in the range of $300!
The illustrations in the book are incredible!
6:24 There is a Decoding The Unknown video about Atantis, excellent video!
Great one!
Thank you for this video! 😄💐
BEST NARRATOR ON TH-cam! HANDS DOWN! Little Simon has nothing on my boy!!
You'd best leave Whistle Boi out of this.
Hey, don't pick on FactBoy! But OG Weird History Narrator kicks butt.
Imagine buying any one of these books for a coffee table book!
A Weird History episode like this one, only with mysterious movies, would be great. I would recommend Eraserhead, and suggest a rule that only one entry per director. Otherwise it would just be a discussion of David Lynch movies and Twin Peaks. Not that a WH episode about David Lynch wouldn't be a good thing; I'd certainly watch it.
😂😂😂
My favorite movie in the 70's. Eraserhead.
i've been waiting for this :')
Love some weird history before I go to bed
@Fucktheleft856 forsho
@Fucktheleft856 What did you have at the new years eve party?
4:04 Sounds like a very intriguing book!
2:59 There is a Decoding The Unknown Episode about Nostradamus, it's excellent!
Thank goodness someone finally talked about the Voynich Manuscript!
Please do a video about the Antikythera Mechanism next!
r/s?
@@OneBentMonkey 😁
You talk as if the vonyich manuscript isnt one of the most well discussed and studied books of this nature?
The historicrat has like 2 full hour long documentary style videos on it and there are probably dozens of articles written on it. If it interests you id suggest checking out the videos i mentioned. Theres much content on it. All of it amounts to essentially "we have no idea what it is" though.
@@morezombies9685 whoosh!
@@modernrelic7092 ok. Sorry for trying to be informative.
3:44 Reminds me of the film American Beauty (1999), just watched it again last night!
I love watching these when I’m abt to sleep
@Fucktheleft856maybe she works 3rd shift
@Fucktheleft856It's night on the other side of the planet, flat earther.
@Fucktheleft856 You're starting to give it to me!
@Fucktheleft856 It Is morning, the sun being above the horizon being no indicator.
I like the awkwardness of the first few comments 🤓
These were fun - I'm not terribly interested in them, but I loved how you presented them. Happy New Year 🎉
@Fucktheleft856 Butt it saves your own bathroom
No mention of the Codex Gigas? Surprising. Definitely one of the most fascinating books ever written. Look it up. ☝️
what does it contain
It contains pages with words on it...😂
@@Dave-bj3pq Stop you're killing me
An image of a demon @@user-wh7tc5xn1w.
@@Dave-bj3pq good one ! 😆
I was thinking The red book gotta be here, but probably won't be, what a surprise that it is included. I have red it two times and I am not near understanding it completely or even remotely for that matter
. ...and then there was that book one of the Kanamits left behind! Sounded like a good mission...or a new recipe! Haha!
Kanamits? What book are you talking about?
Jung's Red Book does indeed seem like the ramblings of a madman...at least to someone not familiar with his work, altered states and internal exploration.
Getting lit and doodling on scrap paper is no basis for a system of government!
This was a really interesting episode
Modern academics are horribly wrong on so many subjects
I love how they just dismissed books, archaeological finds as hoax or conspiracy theories because it doesn’t fit in their narrative of what they want history to be
What about the bib le? That thing is chock-full of insanity, fiction, and does anyone really know who wrote that thing? Do we even know how many thousands of times it's been rewritten? You should have included that one.
Why? It's accurate, and the writers are well known. Unless you mean the various translations and forgetting verses and entire books therein. Now, that does get rather tiresome
difficult to explain but i try
if you buy some electronics and you open the box first thing you find is the manual
so when earth was created it came with a manual
ps just here for the Oera Linda in wralda we trust😎
Cope
Id like to think in 5000 years people will be talking about crazy blog posts the same way.
I love you narrator of this channel
Can weird history do a video on the Hull colony? So I may learn more on my bloodline.
Happy New Year Guys🎉😘
Nostradamus made predictions that were accurate but dismissed as "coincidence"? That is just the end-all of a river in Egypt, i.e. De-Nile.
You include Carl Jung's Red Book but leave out the Codex Gigas.
Interesting.
Imagine going through all that trouble to decipher an entire book only to find out it’s bad.
I still believe the Voynich Manuscript was just written by someone dicking around and there's no deeper meaning behind it
Oh and here I thought we talking Ramanujan notebook.
Happy new month!
Short shrift on Voynich, and there's really no indication it has actually been translated at all. Multiple people have made claims to have translated parts of it over the years.
Can you guys do one on DeSoto?
Those two dudes biting into the same slice of pizza though.
You played Hanukkah music for a Passover book. You’re welcome.
The Seder book was not considered valuable, but they put it in a bank vault?!?!
Since I have watched the thumbnail recommendations recently, I am going to watch:
x Facts About Laura Ingalls Wilder (second time watching)
x Into the Wild | Everything That Went Wrong for Chris McCandless
x Steve Callahan | Survived Being Adrift At Sea for 76 Days
x The True Story of Casanova | History's Most Legendary Lover
What about the Chronic - what - cules of Narnia?
I once tried to read a book that explained explaining and it failed to explain it...🤷🏿...happy new year everybody!!! 🎉🎆🎇
i'm surprised that you didn't include shams al ma'arif.
The strangest in my opinion is Twilight. How can a trash story become so popular. Thats one of lifes biggest mysteries.
Not the Jung self-insert in fan fiction 💀
Instead of using AI to create "art" amongst other things, put it to work figuring out the unknown languages in these books
Seems like it should instantly be able to crack the language codes.
01:30 She's checking the time because she's waiting for the manuscript to be decoded. 02:34 You'd better keep that secret. Never reveal the name. I'm done.
You actually do mean the Philosopher's Stone from Harry Potter.
Here’s a new interesting topic WH could cover: the interesting life of Tom Blank, WH’s accomplished narrator
With the most anonymous name a person could have
Ummm, I'm drawing a blank here....
Speaking of indecipherable books, you missed “Battlefield Earth”
But what about the oratrice mechanique d’analyse cardinale….
A crummy advertisement? lol
Someday some future civilization will spend hundreds of hours trying to decipher Sonic the hedgehog fanfictions for some hidden meaning.
Codex gigas
I love this narrator sm lol
Someone with a sense of humor wrote a fake book that no one can read and it stumps everyone.
Title fixed. Your welcome.
Jokes on you I don't know how to read.
Ask the author of the writing
sounds like one of my books
I love when I click on a Weird History video & hear my favorite narrator's voice! I apologize to the other people who occasionally do the job, I'm sure they do their best, but their voices & delivery style just don't work for me.
Agreed.
I sometimes wonder if these mysterious books could've just been made by someone who was completely out of their mind when they created said book
Check out The Madman's Library by Edward Brooke-Hitching
Nothing about Aristotle’s second book of poetics? 😉
Common core Math should be added.
no i’m literally so happy about this because i have been requesting a video on the voynich manuscript for AGES. i don’t know if the folks @ weird history read all the comments but this was such a pleasant surprise!!! thank you so much
Well then
Where’s the Necronomicon?
I thought you we going to cover Ulysses by James Joyce.
Life is too short to read James Joyce.
You must not have consulted my first grade teacher who saw my drawings and then called my mom :'(
Having ANOTHER Weird History drink!
Drinking a BLACK CHERRY SHASTA* slushy ...while watching this Weird History video!
It's the Unofficial Pop of Libraries in a slushy!
* From the Weird History video "How Shasta Gets Away With Imitating Coke"
† I poured a can of Black Cherry Shasta and froze it in the sliding droor freezer below the HG refrigerator.
I love when channels don't use people making dumb faces throughout their presentation.
honestly, i feel like it might be medieval shitposting, it has no real meaning
Nostragonus" haha
The immaculate conception does not refer to Jesus' birth, which is the term virgin birth. The immaculate conception refers to Mary not being born with original sin. Many people confuse these terms, including many Catholics. In fact, I bet there a lot of viewers who are checking this statement right now because don't believe me.
When did Stephen Colbert have time to narrate these?
The Voynich manuscript was completely translated in 2021 it wasn't written in code so much as someone's offhand handwriting of some foreign language. Basically some merchant had lazy handwriting.
The philosopher's stone, no not like in harry potter
Me, so like in full metal alchemist?
There has been some updates on people working on voynich manuscript! They think it is a breed of Turkish, and several colleges are backing them. :)
Wait.. Nostradamus’ first name was Michelle🤣
