Is a prophecy of mankind's last days encrypted in the Codex Gigas?
The Voynich Manuscript is unparalleled. Its pages bear depictions of unknown plants, strange devices, mysterious cosmological patterns, and naked women in complex systems of pools and tubes. Nobody has been able to read it. Does it contain hidden magical formulas for making the elixir of life, descriptions of groundbreaking inventions that could change the course of humanity, or perhaps a plan for travelling to other worlds?
Czech researcher Arnošt Vašíček offers an original hypothesis that not only reveals who the author of this most mysterious book in the world may have been, it also attempts to decipher its shocking content by interpreting its fascinating drawings. As it turns out, it happens to contain one of the strangest chapters in human history. It introduces us to the secret Sat B'hai society, which discovered a gateway to a parallel world in Prague and apparently successfully attempted to get to the other side.
Almost eight hundred years ago, a very strange manuscript mysteriously appeared in a poor Benedictine monastery in Bohemia. It is the largest manuscript the world has ever seen. Legend has it that it is the work of the Devil himself. A strange image supports the book's mysterious origin. We see a hellish creature squatting in the space between two identical towers. Its appearance is nothing like the usual medieval depictions of Satan.
Why is this extraordinary image placed near the Book of Revelation, which describes the last days on earth? And why is it followed by a collection of spells with the names of various demons? Why does the nature of the book, with pages suddenly turning gloomy on blackened parchment, change completely here? What would we find on the pages that have been carefully removed? Who removed them and why? Could the book have contained a prophecy warning us about the last days of humanity?
The search for the mysteries of the Devil's Bible leads us to top-secret meetings in the underground city of the Crusaders, the murderous sect of the Assassins, the magical rituals of the Knights Templar, the mysterious castle of Emperor Frederick II, and old Benedictine monasteries.
