Peeps made to look like naked women?
The guy was way ahead of his time.

“naked women...magical powers”
That’s a universal constant, just like the gravitational constant G or Planck’s constant h. Some things just never change through recorded history.
Did Jack Daniels exist back then?
It would appear that Voynich has figured out how women work, and wanted to share that knowledge - unabridged - with the world.
It says “be sure to drink your Ovaltine every day”
Guessing, but with the writing supposedly being Hebrew and the naked ladies in the tub, said tub is probably a mikveh.
Very hard to believe he didn’t at least consult a Hebrew language expert. Relying on “google translate” for research purposes is like being served a rewarded Big Mac at a steakhouse
I’m no expert, but I thought old Hebrew did not have vowels in writing until Aaron ben Moses ben Asher, a Jewish scribe who lived in Tiberias in northern Israel and refined the Tiberian system of writing vowel sounds in Hebrew.
Originally, the Hebrew alphabet was an abjad consisting only of consonants, scribes later devised means of indicating vowel sounds by separate vowel points, known in Hebrew as niqqud.
How do you like that? The author of the Voynich Manuscript was Q-Anon's great-great-great-[lots more "greats" here]-grandfather.
Bkmrk.
Hmmm, odd. But at least it makes a lot more sense than the Q droppings.

“But even the cryptographers from Bletchley Park, the team that broke the Nazi enigma code, couldn’t make sense of the manuscript.”
I would not expect the Nazis to be able to read Old Hebrew.
Good Grief, Charlie Brown! Why does it have to be some wondrous panacea of knowledge just because it doesn’t have a translatable language. It’s probably all the playtime distraction from a dyslexic schizophrenic raised by monks and wanted to do what they do but couldn’t write, so they sat him out in the courtyard with some ink and pastels.

The manuscript was carbon dated and found to have originated between 1404 and 1438.
According to their research the first complete sentence reads, ‘She made recommendations to the priest, man of the house and me and people.’
‘It’s a kind of strange sentence to start a manuscript but it definitely makes sense’, said Dr Kondrak.
He found more than 80 per cent of the words were in a Hebrew dictionary, but researchers did not know if they made sense together.
After unsuccessfully seeking Hebrew scholars to validate their findings, the scientists turned to Google Translate.
Siloe, which specialises in making facsimiles of old manuscripts, has bought the rights to make 898 exact replicas of the Voynich.
The copies will be so faithful that every stain, hole, sewn-up tear in the parchment will be reproduced.
The company always publishes 898 replicas of each work it clones - a number which is a palindrome, or a figure that reads the same backwards or forwards.
The publishing house plans to sell the clones, also known as facsimiles, for 7,000 to 8,000 euros (£6,030 to £6,891 or $7,800 to $8,900) apiece once completed - and close to 300 people have already put in pre-orders.

Nothing “ancient Hebrew” there that I can see.
