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.
@@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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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)
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.
@@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.
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!
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.
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.
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 🎉
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
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😎
I know I'm late to this and it's a joke comment, but the truth is we do know when it was written. The council of Nicea technically "wrote" the bible, using selected texts the Romans found palatable to their prejudices. This is why you see no book of christ, or Magdeline in the bible, as both challenge the churches doctrine and are held as parts of the apocrypha (hidden texts) by the Vatican. It's all just ancient hearsay for sure, but it's a very carefully managed hearsay used to keep the powerful unchallenged and the flock ill informed.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.

That's not remotely accurate. There's no "we" here, you are an ignorant child and you've done no research, so you assume others did no research. These books mentioned have been exhaustively studied. There are many indicators that lead them to believe they are fake, including the fact that written languages rarely pop up out of nowhere with no other examples in a location where other languages have been intermingling for centuries.
Because we know pretty much all the writing systems in existence and if a new one appears, which is unrelated to any known ones, then it is likely just invented by a single person or small group, kind of like Tolkien constructed his languages and scripts for his books.
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.

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
