In a discovery that has baffled historians and cryptographers alike, a 14th-century illuminated manuscript—long dismissed as heretical ramblings—appears to contain shockingly accurate predicts of QR code technology, right down to their modern corporate usage.
The Voynich Manuscript’s Lost Sister Predicts
Discovered in a Prague monastery vault, the Codex Scannicus features:
- Grid-based “divination squares” resembling 21×21 QR patterns
- Alchemical symbols that decode into working URLs when transcribed
- Marginalia warning of “the black squares that steal souls”
Most chillingly, it includes date-specific prophecies:
“When the thousandth year turns twice and nine, men shall worship the cubed idols, pressing glass to paper as priests of old pressed wax to seal.”
(2024 AD, per carbon dating)
The Three Fulfilled Prophecies
1. The Mark of the Merchant (2010) Predicts
A passage describes:
“Traders shall bind their goods with enchanted checkered seals, and the poorest must proffer their face to the wealthy’s boxes to eat.”

2. The Great Plague Signs (2020)
“In the time of the invisible death, the squares shall command men: Show me thy health to walk free.”
→ Exact description of COVID-19 QR health passports
3. The Silent Rebellion (2027?) Predicts
An unfinished prophecy warns:
“Beware when the squares multiply beyond counting, for they shall—”*
(The remaining text is charred)
Theological Controversies
- Vatican scholars insist it’s pareidolia—people seeing patterns in random ink
- Tech billionaires have secretly bid millions for the manuscript
- Conspiracy forums claim Denso Wave engineers visited the monastery in 1993
The Ultimate Warning
One illustration shows:
- A crowd of faceless people holding up squares to the sun Predicts
- A demonic figure beaming data upward from a tower of QR grids
- The caption: “All roads lead to the cloud, but the cloud is not heaven.”
“We thought we invented them. What if we’re just remembering?”
— Dr. Elsa Veldt, lead researcher
