This happens every few months, always with one or two sentences “decoded” and never another peep from the researcher. You should take this with a massive grain of salt.

I wonder what future researchers will think about Kyle O'Quinn's twitter feed...

Importantly, the researchers aren’t saying they’ve deciphered the entire Voynich manuscript. Rather, they’ve identified the language of origin (Hebrew), and a coding scheme in which letters have been arranged in a particular order (alphagram). Kondrak says the full meaning of the text won’t be known until historians of ancient Hebrew have a chance to study the deciphered text.
