   There have been several examples of this text having been partially deciphered within the last year. There are some youtube videos about it and a few articles. Its a far cry from saying its deciphered but it seems likely.

   Thank you for your comments! This is very, very interesting.

   The latest attempt to decode the manuscript comes from two computer scientists at the University of Alberta. In 2016, they published a paper outlining how they had used a combination of Google Translate and their own unsupervised artificial intelligence learning algorithm in order to ascertain that the underlying language in the text is most likely Hebrew, with the letters in the script having been arranged into some sort of structured anagram. You can read more about this here:

   However, the manuscript is yet to be fully deciphered and there have been many other claims to understanding it over the years.
