How a single person on the face of the earth would know a written language that was, at one time or another, in wide use seems incredible in the truest sense of that word.

It seems a 500 year old PRACTICAL JOKE at worse, or a product of a delusional or otherwise unusual mind at best.

Someone did go through a lot of trouble and effort, though.

It’s ancient astronaut theorists at it again. The History Channel puts all it’s academic authority on the line here. Star people stopped here to use the bathroom once during a long intergalacic trip. They left their travel documents behind at this church, which had a nice bathroom for public usage.

That’s an excellent observation! Why do we assume it’s an actual language that is deep and meaningful? I’m sure there were demented people in that century( lead does things to the mind),psychic writing, insane people who made up their own secret language.
So we’re spending time and money either 1-researching a dead language that, if decoded, might be someone’s diary, or 2-the Mein Kamph of a 14th century Charles Manson, complete with hallucinogenic illustrations.
Ya gotta chuckle at the possibility.
