In general, the Voynich manuscript is a collection of plant drawings, pie charts, unknown female ceremonies and a significant text part. On the surface, it can be attributed to some kind of encyclopedic reference book.
Analysis of the methods of approach to decoding MV showed that all of them had one mistake.
All of them tried to see the letters of the alphabet of any language, and the European language, in the signs with which the Voynich manuscript was written. This approach has yielded no results. Therefore, it is necessary to change the method of approach to decoding. Namely, it is necessary to find a language whose alphabet structure would correspond to the structure of the system of signs used in writing MB. Those. as a basis, take not a single sign, but the entire system of signs as a whole.
Now it is necessary to find the system in the variety of signs with which MV is written. After analyzing the signs used in the Voynich manuscript, I was able to find such a system. It should be noted that later it turned out that there are signs in the entire system that do not correspond to any letter. But this is due to the peculiarities of the language.
Now the question arose to find a language, the alphabet format of which would coincide with the character format of the Voynich manuscript. Searches have yielded results. An ancient language was found whose format (or structure) of the alphabet coincided with the format (or structure) of characters used in the text of the MV. But then everything did not go smoothly. The structure of the complex of signs and the alphabet of the alleged language are identical, but the number of letters turned out to be somewhat larger. I had to go back to the text. As a result, a numerical mark was found in the text itself. Using this mark as a hint and attaching two letters to a certain number of characters, everything fell into place. Later, when translating some short words, the indicated assignment of characters to letters was confirmed. This is the second level of MB encryption. Further, after analyzing the text with the already available data, it turned outthat in words that begin with vowels, these vowels are omitted. This can be considered the third level of encryption. These two circumstances further exclude the possibility of using computer programs to translate MB text. "Manual" translation is also difficult. For example, if a word in the text consists of 4 characters, then 8 letters will correspond to this supposed word, 4 of which must be excluded. Thus, it is practically impossible to do without perfect knowledge of this ancestral language. When translating short words, I used information obtained on the Internet, and they are there, as you know, are limited and in only common use. And in this case, we have specific topics.

Now it should be noted, it is clearly seen that at least three topics are described in the Voynich manuscript, namely: botany, medicine and astronomy. For one person, detailed knowledge in such different areas is too much. Hence, the conclusion follows - in the present MV, information has been collected from various sources. If it is known that the Voynich manuscript was written in the early 15th century, then the knowledge described in it was known much earlier. It can be assumed that this knowledge was used by our ancestors in the so undeservedly forgotten Vedic times. This time had its own characteristics. For example, the chronology was different. Namely, the year (summer) had three periods: winter, spring, autumn; in each period there were three months, in each month there were 40 (41) days, in the week there were 9 days (and this has survived to this day when the dead are remembered: 9 and 40 days), 16 hours in a day. We will dwell on other features of the Vedic chronology and astronomical knowledge below when opening certain topics of the Voynich manuscript.
Now it is necessary to determine the reason for encrypting this vital knowledge.
Knowing quite accurately the time when the Voynich manuscript was written and by the language used, having determined the territory where it was written, it is easy to determine what historical events took place in this territory. It turned out that in this territory at this time there was a conquest of one people by another. And not just a conquest, but a change of religion. It is known that a change of religion or belief is more painful than just an occupation. Based on this, we can conclude that all this secret knowledge by our ancestors was collected in one place and encrypted in order to preserve them from enemies. It is not known about further "travels" of this document until the second half of the 16th century. Perhaps about his content to those from whom he was hiding and a hunt was organized for him. According to the logic, there should be a key to it, which could, or even may, be stored in another place,namely in the place of its writing. Moreover, it cannot be ruled out that the keepers of the key are looking for this document, but its widespread name is far from true, which makes it impossible to find it. But this is an assumption that, in principle, cannot be ruled out and should be verified.

Using the above in the so-called botanical section, the following short words (short in the text of the Voynich manuscript) were translated: Sweet drink, nectar. Food, food. Pleasure, pleasure. Grain, bread. Six. Drink, absorb. Maturation, maturity. Saturated. Hemp, hemp, hemp clothing. Food, food. Maybe. Cleanse (intestines). Drink. A wish. Knowledge. Sweet drink, nectar and others. There is no doubt that the correlation coefficient between the meaning of these words and the plants depicted is very high.
So, on page 20 the words are translated: hemp, hemp clothes; food, food. Indeed, even in our recent past, in my small homeland, hemp was grown, from which threads were obtained, then linen and clothes. In addition, oil was obtained from it, which was used in cooking. Moreover, among many types of cannabis it is easy to find a similar one. Further we have the word "six". Taking into account the Vedic week equal to 9 days, we have 6 weeks, or 54 days, or practically two months in modern chronology. And this is the period of full maturation of most plants. These first obtained translation data give grounds to consider the chosen MV translation algorithm correct.
By the way, among a fairly large number of plants, we do not see potatoes that were imported from America. This is because some experts believe that the birthplace of CF is Mexico. But at the time of writing, the potatoes were used to the fullest.
Now let's move on to the pie charts section. The first one is on p. 57/1 (114) according to Internet numbering). The diagram consists of 4 parts. In each part there is a silhouette of a person by which it is impossible to determine his gender (this remark will play its role further). Therefore, the information in this figure applies to everyone, regardless of gender. This diagram has many short words that have been translated. These are common words, namely sour milk. Milk product. Boiled food. Meal time. Sometimes. Some. Promote. Eat, eat. There is no doubt that in this case we are talking about the organization of a correct, healthy diet. Now why four parts. Turning to the Vedas, we find that the food of our ancestors was four times a day. Further. In each part we find the same groups of words, which are translated as follows: someone. Pronounce. Praise. Located. Turning to the Vedas, we find that before each meal, one of those present at the table must say praise to our Gods and Ancestors. Thus, it follows that in this figure we are talking not only about a rational diet, but also about the ritual of eating.
Next, consider the diagrams found on pages 70-74 (127-134). All diagrams are similar to each other. A distinctive feature of the charts is that they are centered on the zodiac sign. But we find only 10 signs out of 12 existing ones. This is explained as follows. According to the data of the MB keeper, it is known that some of the MB sheets have not been found. In this section, we see that sheet 73 is followed by sheet 75, i.e. 1 sheet is missing, on which 2 more diagrams should be placed.
Consider the diagram on page 70 (127). The zodiac sign of Pisces is most likely located in the middle of the diagram. Around in concentric circles are placed a total of 30 female figures with markings. In the next two diagrams, the author depicted the same zodiac signs, but each drawing has fifteen female figures. Nevertheless, thirty figures of women correspond to this sign of the zodiac. The situation is similar in the other figures. As a result, we have the following:
- the figures on the diagrams are purely female;
- all signs of the zodiac correspond to a specific number of female figures, namely thirty;
- in most cases, the marks next to the female figures, located in the same places, are different.
It is logical to assume that there must be a probable connection between the signs of the zodiac, the silhouettes of women and the number "30". Let's take into account the fact that according to the Vedas there were nine days in a week. Multiplying nine days by thirty, we get two hundred and seventy days. Well, this period is familiar to all at least women. This is the full period of pregnancy for women. It is now clear why the diagrams only show the figures of women and there are thirty of them.
Based on the foregoing, the conclusion follows: the indicated diagrams show the features of the periods of pregnancy in women during conception during various signs of the zodiac. To prove this, I was able to translate two words in one of the diagrams: Perhaps. Born.
Further, on page 67 (121) there are 2 diagrams. Let's consider the first of them. The diagram is a circle divided into 12 sectors. In each sector a word is inscribed and a certain number of stars are placed, and their number is not constant. With a high degree of probability, we can assume that this diagram shows the year according to the lunar calendar. At that time, according to the lunar calendar, the year consisted of 12 months. The word in the sector means the name of the month, and the number of stars indicates the number of stars in the zodiac sign corresponding to the given month. On the outer circumference of the diagram, apparently, the essence of these months is described.
We find the continuation on the next page, which also contains two diagrams. The first of them, most likely, shows the main phases of the moon, namely: new moon, first quarter, full moon, last quarter. Around the circle, apparently, a description of these phases is given.
On the next page, the first figure also applies to the moon. It shows two main phases of the moon: new moon and full moon, and also contains 29 stars. The number of stars corresponds to the number of days in the lunar month (28.5). According to the Vedas, each day of the lunar month had its own name.
There are a few more diagrams below. Again, according to the Vedas, the Vedic chronology had the so-called. Circles of time. The main ones are the Circle of Years and the Circle of Life. With a high degree of probability, we can assume that some of the MV diagrams are the circles of time. So, on page 86/1 (158) there are 9 circular patterns. According to the Vedas, the Sun, moving in its orbit, passes through 9 elements. Perhaps these elements are shown in this figure.
There are plausible explanations for some of the other sections as well. But they still need to be confirmed.
This is what was obtained using the existing methodology. Of course, with the help of professional translation, you can get more significant results. Nevertheless, the results obtained with a high degree of probability give reason to believe that:
1. The indicated method of decoding the Voynich manuscript is its key and can be used for further translation.
2. The Voynich manuscript is a kind of encyclopedia of ancient knowledge, or the Book of the life of our ancestors. Perhaps this knowledge would be relevant today.
