Captain’s Blog: December 17th 2024.
This page is literally a legend! A legend within a legend within a myth. A seventh wonder of the New World, Machu Picchu contains whispers of a thriving merchant city and palace to the Inca emperor Pachacuti. Interesting facts about recent studies of the people who lived in Machu Picchu, DNA results show that they were not from Machu Picchu but thrived on a coastal diet. The City in the Clouds is depicted not only on Folio 80v but the entrance to the Vault is drawn in the root system of Folio 53r. (See blog post for the translation of 53r.)
Folio 80v contains highly sophisticated siege tower pully systems drawn within the paragraphs and women. We all know the myth of Machu Picchu holding a serious amount of treasure. But is it still there? The Spanish would overthrow the city 100 years later and kill all city dwellers. Did they take the treasure at that time? Is it worth even looking for? If you read and re-read paragraph 4, I personally would bow out. Yes, the entrance is in the Sun Chamber near the Royal Entrance, however, the entire system is booby-trapped. If I translated one word wrong or miscalculated a single step the whole tunnel would flood, much like what happened on Oak Island.
The booby-trap! The phrase itself doesn’t show up until 1540’s, however, the women’s boobs are booby-traps. Every page that has the ti-ta’s lies, boobs will point you off course if you try reading into it instead of translating the text. The phrase is said to come from nautical sailors referring to the Booby Bird. The Booby bird’s flight pattern and migration is the region depicted from Folio 75r-84v. In going further into the saying, Chinese artifacts called the “Bi” come from the region known as Bu/Pu and look like a booby. These artifacts were used by merchant traders along the Silk Roads to help merchants know where a trade city was located. If you want to learn more about the Bi you should consider reading Dr. Wayne R. Tucker and Katie Tucker’s book “Land of Pu, Discovering Lost Origins of humanity.” The following Bi artifacts belong to the Tucker Museum and Collection.

Ethnobotany: Greater Long-nosed armadillo: The Matses highly value the armadillo as food, especially in April and May when they are fattest. Hunters use a variety of methods to catch them, including digging and flooding their burrows. Hunters also listen carefully at burrow entrances at dawn and dusk for sounds of movement by resident animals, but knowledge of burrow architecture and nest contents was acquired more directly (by digging out burrows).
Armadillo Foraging
The authors of the Voynich Manuscript not only draw the Peruvian Greater Long-nose Armadillo but it’s important to note how it is drawn. The armadillo will forage for new leaves every day to make up its bed. To get leaves into its din it picks up the leaves with all four feet and hopes its way into the burrow. This is where it hides its treasures. The clue from the authors is written in indigenous peoples’ knowledge of the armadillo.
INCA Knowledge of the Armadillo
“Greater long-nosed armadillos prefer primary upland forest. They make their burrows in the banks of stream headwater gullies, and along small streams. They forage in the dry floodplains of streams and in palm swamps (where the earth is softer), but they also root around on hilltops and hillsides. They are common in upland forest where they have not been hunted out.
Greater long-nosed armadillos always nest in burrows that they dig in the ground. Each armadillo has several active burrows and sleeps in a different one each night. There are also abandoned burrows in the vicinity of active burrows. Burrows in stream headwater gullies are deeper than burrows in stream floodplains. Each burrow has a large sleeping chamber, where the armadillo has its leaf bed. The leaf bed smells like armadillo urine. The burrow also has a long, narrow, blind retreat tunnel, adjacent to the sleeping chamber. The retreat tunnel is generally somewhat horizontal and has a few centimeters of water on the floor. Greater long-nosed armadillo burrows have only one entrance.
The greater long-nosed armadillo is nocturnal. During the day it sleeps in its burrow. Before dusk it is awake in its burrow, rustling the dry leaves in its leaf bed, waiting for it to get dark. Right at dusk it rushes out of its burrow and then begins to travel noisily along one of its paths, which are primarily along hilltops. It stops along its path to forage, rooting for worms and grubs in soft dirt and digging into rotten logs for armored millipedes and other invertebrates. It leaves its path to root in lower ground, in the floodplains of streams or in palm swamps. If these are flooded, it roots at the edges of the flooded area. It sniffs the ground as it roots for earthworms. It follows streams as it forages, often crosses one or more streams, and then circles back to its path. It swims across deep streams. It bathes in mud holes, where collared peccaries may also bathe (during the day). It may come across one of its other burrows and check it out, but it will not sleep there if it is not yet late. When it is near dawn [between 05:00 and 05:30 in northeastern Peru] it finds its path and follows it to its nearest burrow. Once it finds its burrow, it collects fresh leaf litter to add to its bed. It leaves an area clear of leaf litter near its burrow where it does this. It rolls in its leaf bed to pack it down and may be awake in its burrow rustling the leaves in its bed for a short time after dawn. It sometimes walks around during the day in heavy rain.
Greater long-nosed armadillos are solitary. Males do not sleep with females in their burrows. They copulate when they find each other while foraging at night. The female gives birth to two offspring inside its burrow. The female eats the placenta. The young follow the mother when they are little.”
Easter Egg:
- Observe map roots from Folio 53r – it is the entrance to the vault.
- The man in the bottom left corner wears a 14th-century Scottish Feather Hat. Behind this figure, there is a second illusion of another person or shadow. Men in the Voynich represent the people in the region.
- The man in the middle right is wearing a Sapa (Royal) Inca Feather Hat (possibly Pachacuti). Pachacuti means ‘he who goes around the world’. Pachacuti is often linked to the origin and expansion of the Inti Sun Cult. The compound is not influenced by other languages such as Aymara or Puquina and is considered purely Quechua. It is composed of the noun pacha, which means ‘land, region, time, world’ and represents an Andean concept associating time with the physical world, and the verb kuti- ‘to change, turn, return to a starting point’. This phrase is used in the VM Manuscript almost on every folio. Even more curious is that some archeologists believe Pachacuti was a myth used more of a concept than an actual person. But… there he is… drawn in the Voynich Manuscript depicting the rope pully system to enter Machu Pichhu’s hidden vault.

It has been drawn, the survey plat, which you had run-in. Release is inactive, it had been drawn the journey distance. Release the center and remove to the outside to get the measurement set up. I collapsed it. For certainty, get the court. I should go the written account to get to what has been run-in, it gets held. The lead may double the humidity, the wharfs river-bank obtains the lead vane in “The Clouds” (aka the City in the Clouds, aka Machu Picchu). You get the desire in stopping your go. The sine wave thrust whistles, pivot the aim/mark, you get a strong thrown lead.
Top peak of Doom is afflicted, gets the marked undeveloped way, wheels afflicted the fillet radius on the bearing where the inner meets the shaft unharmed. You get the mark held, the stakes surges. You are being stopped. Deceived, to get to the bearing rule. Loosen the court, you are projecting out the grid with acute discernment. Stopping our go, the journey way you get the velocity enclosure fixed-mark. You are projecting out, violence stops your go. The rule fault line gets the mean. Pull up by means of treating with violence. Stopping the lead journey the anchor out of the ground hangs perpendicular, pivot. You get the lead, it gets the center. Rubbish observation they are going the origin to get the Captain. Pass through separates the secant arc.
The hatch mark held the mark, gets removed to a distance. Go the straight and narrow path. You must stop the ordinance and enter around the corner early. They are stopping the enclosure ordinance radius North rule. Pass through the break, move away from the sun. You go the grids yield enduring to the end. I am congealing the secant arc, the congealed secant arc chains held, it passes to the point secant arc rule. The journey yield you get and will treat with violence. You are projecting out the yield secant arc having the ability to the eye-apparatus is 1 or 2 above the use horizontal mark. To get to it I am hoping it produces the surveyor vane early in that specific direction.
Circular segment is a load-bearing wall. The spotted extend. I am bringing the mason stones, vaulting, going the light horizontally next to the beginning. You go the pass through measurement. The way you get you go. I am hoping it bears the information, pivot brings forth horizontally, I have collapsed. You are projecting out. Captain, the natural state gives out, it is cobbled together. You are projecting out, you go the pass through and grids the earlier mark observational assessment.
Mountain peak levels terminal way, go the straight and narrow path. Release. The undeveloped vertical asymptote separate variation secant. To get, notice the monster waves I had run-in. You must stop, undeveloped. I should go. You go the lead to get the measurement the visual mark you must stop the perception by means of the attained descending-bearing ruler. Early bravely pulls up. You must stop, the pass through entrance is exposed. The pass through ordinance mark is the isthmus.
Property marker toes (pivots) and revolves. You go, the siege tower way in the direction the grid mean is towards the sighting. You must stop, the moving weighted scale held early North. The force held. You go the hollow interior, obtain. I had thrown the perception, they are stopping. You go, pivot center. You go, anchorable gear.
Mountain Peak earlier core vault, you get towards what I am producing. The way flows with liquid. To get to your go natural state, center your go lead. Held having a great heavy force, held the radius center marked timed to the spin of Earth early. The cultivated chains called the counter mark. What you had thrown will be able to center the blue azure (aerial). I had run in the monster waves reclining the waves. The grid way and radius way have great force, arranged the axial center velocity enclosure tied to the quay den. Harmful discharge, the horizontal receives twice the pivot, pulley ratio calculation. Your go pivots the way mariner’s bow. Rain near is strong. You go the way fixed blue azure (aerial). Continuous mark, the mariner’s bow mountain peak area of a sector is what you had discharged the average time vector visual hole pass through.
Mountain peak contends, I am moving East/outwards the mean 69/cm. The hidden supply (archeological cashe) I have cast down the cymatium, I have cast down the royal journey natural state. The pass through held true. You go out what you had discharged, deceived pendulum held up your go and dams up the viewer. The pass through is brightness of light. You go the lead congeals the going mark information origin early. The origin determines, you are moving forward with that the lead held out. You are projecting out the mountain peak. The forefather visual apparatus towards the mark get the use scale surely North. Pull up following in, the vector pivot (pivot element) towards plus the way grids the origin false positive secant arc. You are projecting out cultivated.
