Folio 80r-Utah, Uuta, Uiata, Uita, GET OUT!

Captain’s Blog: November 11th, 2024

Triggering Warning, The Voynich is not a book about flowers. It’s about trade war and peace. Some pages are about friends, some are about enemies. The people described in this folio are my friends and I cried translating this page. The authors are military men describing war strategy against a Native American Tribe in the Colorado River. I don’t know the exact tribe they are speaking of, and frankly it’s too sad for me, I’ll let some other archeologist research it.

As a dumb high school kid back in the 90’s I spent time in Arizona/Utah in the Navajo Nation Reservation. High school kids on mission trips are so useless, I think us kids do more harm then good when it comes to putting a nail in a piece of wood. Our mission was simply build relationships as we hammered nails on top of a 110 degree roof in Arizona. I so desperately wanted to build a nice roof for them so I stuck it out until I almost fainted. The rest of the time I spent in the shade drinking Gatorade feeling like a stupid useless teenager.

The reservation is harsh terrain. I will never forget the out house that was built on the edge of the grand canyon where you can see the steep peaks when you opened the toilet lid. Water was scarce and the gardens where small. But the hearts of the people where larger than life. On the last day the owner of the house we where helping greeted us with lunch. He was a line chef in town and made us all hamburgers. It was the best hamburger I have ever had in my entire life, literally tasting like gratefulness. I am grateful for the honor to call them friend.

The authors of the Voynich will speak about a tribe in this region that where violent. In the 13th century a tribe with that description occupied the upper regions of the Grand Canyon but mysteriously disappeared. No one knows where they went or why. Is folio 80r describing a people that vanished only to be confused in later generations by a peaceful Ute tribe? There is a theory that ancient civilizations may have lived in the Grand Canyon’s hidden depths, including in tunnels and underground cities. However, there is little scientific evidence to support this theory. The authors mention that a tribe did live in tunnels and mines and would attack by this route.

UTE Clothing
The authors write words next to ladies at the top of the folio, saying “To obtain its bearings the points of the compass repeats. I am saying to be said, move away from the pass through. Hide. Monster Enemy.” The word hide is not “to hide”, but as in hide from an animal. The woman and man depicted in Folio 80r are wearing hide Native American tribal attire.

DATA:
Location: California – Utah
Geolocation: 39° N
River: Colorado River
Ethnobotany: Prickly Pear – According to Aztec legend, the god Huitzilopochtli told the Aztecs to build their capital city where they saw an eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus. The Aztecs found this spot on an island in Lake Texcoco and named their city Tenochtitlan, which means “the land of the nopal cactus”. Tenochtitlan is now the site of Mexico City.

Military Vocabulary
Line 23, 4th word, “itor.” Latin for “you will advance,” used in the future passive imperative, which is to convey a command that should be fulfilled in the future and only used in legal documents. A book strictly about botany would not use a legal command. The fact that this word is in the Voynich makes it a military document.

Boatswain’s General Call
Line 18, words 1-4. literally says “chirpy sound apparatus particularly 9-notes.” After researching Boatswain’s calls this 9-note is an all hands on deck serious call to be at stations, silent ready for instructions. The Boatswain’s whistle is held by the second women on the top left, which matches Scottish 14th century Boatswain’s whistles of the time.

Pantograph and Compass Dividers
Line 15, Words 1-3, “confirm quadrilateral stream.” In nautical chart making the use of a Pantograph would anchor the image of the coast line. Compass Dividers where used to measure and alter the chart scale. The Compass Divider is in the hands of the women in the middle on the left hand inner side.

Prime Grid – Prime Pass Through: (drum) beat gives out an alarm. What you had rushed onto a bulbous bow wave, we went as it goes. Aim at circular velocity. You go, it elutes the attained and holds out the attained. It is going the attained, you are bearing to get the radius horizontal lines. The inactive angular radius orifice plate you are projecting out extremely. Watch the attained, it gets the attained lead jet stream. Furrowed force remains, courts the attained, dammed and congeals the secant arc out eye level. I am petrified, move away, it rushed onto what you had thrown. The way out, you go the lead attained by way of. Get out! The forward chosen army are lead raiders. What you had thrown gets your going lead attained. You will treat with violence. What you had thrown swings and lets us pass. The contract/agreement thrusts a written account. Rifling (the twisting of a gun barrel) gets the written account, in entirety you go discharge toward the pass through. You are projecting out the barrel. The head wave attained the information. What you had thrown gets the velocity enclosure and congeals. You will treat with violence! The attained vernier is immobile; to get, you are projecting out. They are stopping the observed revolving turnover. You are projecting out the court; it goes forward towards its own release chain. Hold the outer. You must frighten synchronized. I will be going the mark, I am holding the angular radius way grids zero mark I had jutted out. Declaration, I am frightening out, it will be going the stones rival. Congeals the affliction the court what you had rushed onto you may treat with violence. You are projecting out the mark grid center way, it gets and goes the way. The observed way is hollow, they are moving the arc length by meters. Declaration, the holy arc length you go ties the information to sea-level height. I move forward the point pass through roads journey sun passes. You must frighten, move away from the earlier thrust. The vanes royal is more alert. Confirm the quadrilateral stream towards the journey. The observed mark see the expertly cultivation. If it goes the knowledge of stones of time the chain of mountains confirm. You will treat with violence! The forces out may, I had the boundary-out, dammer you get the (e)length*angular radius mean point hour. I should go the surveyor vane. You go the core for the sake of the Captain’s experts, Captain. 

Boatswain’s General Call (all hands on deck, silent and alert.) Undeveloped country, you must frighten. I move quickly, you are projecting out the vane mark enclosure. Keep Hold. To get the lead it had gotten the mark, and may the way you are projecting out confirm the border. The distance you are projecting out courts what you had gotten. The mark I am hoping produces the way of the sun. You go, you are projecting out expertly. The journey pass through elevation ejects what you had rushed onto. The perception journey pass through monster waves you will advance, move away from the vane area towards where you will treat with violence. You go.

The court radius out, tilts over and gets your go pouring. The isthmus graph has been discarded, the beacon goes the vane observation stake. The monster waves mark may mark the gotten way. You must frighten, it has gotten the rages monster waves. I have moved quickly, depression at bottom of the river. The L shaped tool has gotten the beacons thrust, may the way. You are taking shelter, you go through the river.

The journey vane region forward casts the monster waves. Difficult. Captain you get your going way. I am frightening the North zero.  Following the call you must frighten the arc length in multitudes, it doesn’t touch the bottom. Trust the exhausted held written account, it has gotten your going. What you had rushed onto steeps Earth. I will be going the mark bottom following the head (military force) source of the river. 

The river you go velocity radius secant arc propulsion Katabatic Winds move rapidly stopping the velocity enclosure. You had discarded the set up, to carry, remove the lead, it gets your going mark a way out early perception. It goes by means of the law, expertly held. The held expert acquired your going. Raise forces out, it gets the away out towards the expert monster waves knowledge. Hold with the center mark, you get the canal.

Top summit descending, few owners towards, I am hoping produces the pass through tame. Speak. The vane you are projecting out journeys the velocity of an orifice plate round about. The pass through impartial with the intent you are weaving. The timed pass through is brutal. Arrive at the shore by way of the royal tower, by way of what you are going onto. You go wide. I am hoping it produces the mean channel point by way of the space. A formal declaration all around the stakeman. A widespread affliction, I advance towards. It goes demolished, you go the radius, you go the staked area measurement. To keep it going I will be going by way of what kept going perceptually. The journey sloping mountainside way gets the main road. I advance your going. Captain, the natural state goes the measurement, yield, pivot the point approximately at eye-level. You are projecting out the yield in accordance to the laws of Earth.

One thought on “Folio 80r-Utah, Uuta, Uiata, Uita, GET OUT!

  1. Captain Katie,

    I must admit, this was a “hard read” for me, as well. (Thank you for the pre-warning!)

    In my many studies of History, the Indigenous Peoples, I have been to Pow Wows in both Washington and Oregon, Sweat Lodges, I even lived on the Red Lake Nation in Minasota for Six weeks back in the 90’s, and was kindly accepted by their Chief.

    So, this read, ALL the way through, heavy heart.

    Thank you,

    philip, from the Great Pacific NorthWET, Oregon Division
