Going through the devil's Bible, I 94 00:02:12,470 --> 00:02:12,480 Going through the devil's Bible, I 95 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,550 Going through the devil's Bible, I notice how detailed and perfectly 96 00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:14,560 notice how detailed and perfectly 97 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,550 notice how detailed and perfectly calligraphed it is.

It looks supernatural. Yet, we 102 00:02:22,630 --> 00:02:22,640 by hand. It looks supernatural. Yet, we 103 00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:25,589 by hand. It looks supernatural.

This is unarguably the most important medieval 110 00:02:32,710 --> 00:02:32,720 unarguably the most important medieval 111 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,670 unarguably the most important medieval book we've ever found. But officially, 112 00:02:35,670 --> 00:02:35,680 book we've ever found. But officially, 113 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,869 book we've ever found. But officially, we have no idea who wrote it.

Scientists from all over the world agree a single 116 00:02:41,110 --> 00:02:41,120 from all over the world agree a single 117 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,190 from all over the world agree a single person wrote that book. They estimate it 118 00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:43,200 person wrote that book. They estimate it 119 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,350 person wrote that book. They estimate it would have taken him between 20 and 30 120 00:02:45,350 --> 00:02:45,360 would have taken him between 20 and 30 121 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,309 would have taken him between 20 and 30 years. But what's shocking is the writer 122 00:02:48,309 --> 00:02:48,319 years. But what's shocking is the writer 123 00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:50,869 years. But what's shocking is the writer didn't commit a single mistake. Can you 124 00:02:50,869 --> 00:02:50,879 didn't commit a single mistake. Can you 125 00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:54,390 didn't commit a single mistake. Can you imagine not a single scribal error while 126 00:02:54,390 --> 00:02:54,400 imagine not a single scribal error while 127 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,430 imagine not a single scribal error while writing 2 million symbols with a quill 128 00:02:57,430 --> 00:02:57,440 writing 2 million symbols with a quill 129 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,509 writing 2 million symbols with a quill pen? I've used one of these and I know 130 00:02:59,509 --> 00:02:59,519 pen? I've used one of these and I know 131 00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:02,550 pen? I've used one of these and I know that's impossible. Experts also expected 132 00:03:02,550 --> 00:03:02,560 that's impossible. Experts also expected 133 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,670 that's impossible. Experts also expected to notice signs of the author's aging. 134 00:03:05,670 --> 00:03:05,680 to notice signs of the author's aging. 135 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,910 to notice signs of the author's aging. Something like eyesight failure, 136 00:03:07,910 --> 00:03:07,920 Something like eyesight failure, 137 00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:10,390 Something like eyesight failure, arthritis, or changing calligraphy, but 138 00:03:10,390 --> 00:03:10,400 arthritis, or changing calligraphy, but 139 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,710 arthritis, or changing calligraphy, but there was none of that. They didn't even 140 00:03:12,710 --> 00:03:12,720 there was none of that. They didn't even 141 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,790 there was none of that. They didn't even notice any skill increase throughout. 142 00:03:14,790 --> 00:03:14,800 notice any skill increase throughout. 143 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,470 notice any skill increase throughout. Whoever wrote it did it like a 144 00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:16,480 Whoever wrote it did it like a 145 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,869 Whoever wrote it did it like a well-maintained robot or a printer. But 146 00:03:18,869 --> 00:03:18,879 well-maintained robot or a printer. But 147 00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:20,869 well-maintained robot or a printer. But nobody can write a book that big in one 148 00:03:20,869 --> 00:03:20,879 nobody can write a book that big in one 149 00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:22,630 nobody can write a book that big in one night. Come on. So, what's the real 150 00:03:22,630 --> 00:03:22,640 night. Come on. So, what's the real 151 00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:24,470 night. Come on. So, what's the real story here? 152 00:03:24,470 --> 00:03:24,480 story here? 153 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,710 story here? I knew where and when the book was 154 00:03:26,710 --> 00:03:26,720 I knew where and when the book was 155 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,550 I knew where and when the book was written. Compared to most things I 156 00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:28,560 written. Compared to most things I 157 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,470 written. Compared to most things I investigate, this was an amazing 158 00:03:30,470 --> 00:03:30,480 investigate, this was an amazing 159 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,030 investigate, this was an amazing starting point. I made a list of people 160 00:03:33,030 --> 00:03:33,040 starting point. I made a list of people 161 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,030 starting point. I made a list of people who lived or passed around the monastery 162 00:03:35,030 --> 00:03:35,040 who lived or passed around the monastery 163 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,750 who lived or passed around the monastery in the same century. But that wasn't 164 00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:37,760 in the same century. But that wasn't 165 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,589 in the same century. But that wasn't enough. Knowing the complexity of the 166 00:03:39,589 --> 00:03:39,599 enough. Knowing the complexity of the 167 00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:42,149 enough. Knowing the complexity of the book, not anybody could write it. So I 168 00:03:42,149 --> 00:03:42,159 book, not anybody could write it. So I 169 00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:44,309 book, not anybody could write it. So I came up with eight conditions that 170 00:03:44,309 --> 00:03:44,319 came up with eight conditions that 171 00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:46,229 came up with eight conditions that needed to be met for someone to be the 172 00:03:46,229 --> 00:03:46,239 needed to be met for someone to be the 173 00:03:46,239 --> 00:03:48,630 needed to be met for someone to be the author. The conditions are one, 174 00:03:48,630 --> 00:03:48,640 author. The conditions are one, 175 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,710 author. The conditions are one, obviously the author must have lived in 176 00:03:50,710 --> 00:03:50,720 obviously the author must have lived in 177 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,509 obviously the author must have lived in the 13th century. Two, the Codex Gigas 178 00:03:53,509 --> 00:03:53,519 the 13th century. Two, the Codex Gigas 179 00:03:53,519 --> 00:03:55,350 the 13th century. Two, the Codex Gigas was written in four languages. So the 180 00:03:55,350 --> 00:03:55,360 was written in four languages. So the 181 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,750 was written in four languages. So the author had to know all four of them. 182 00:03:57,750 --> 00:03:57,760 author had to know all four of them. 183 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,110 author had to know all four of them. Arabic, Hebrew, Latin and Greek. Three, 184 00:04:01,110 --> 00:04:01,120 Arabic, Hebrew, Latin and Greek. Three, 185 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,910 Arabic, Hebrew, Latin and Greek. Three, the person had to be rich. Why? Well, 186 00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:03,920 the person had to be rich. Why? Well, 187 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,589 the person had to be rich. Why? Well, the book is supposed to have been 188 00:04:05,589 --> 00:04:05,599 the book is supposed to have been 189 00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:07,589 the book is supposed to have been written by priests in a monastery in the 190 00:04:07,589 --> 00:04:07,599 written by priests in a monastery in the 191 00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:10,229 written by priests in a monastery in the Czech Republic. But the parchment for 192 00:04:10,229 --> 00:04:10,239 Czech Republic. But the parchment for 193 00:04:10,239 --> 00:04:12,470 Czech Republic. But the parchment for the pages alone would have required the 194 00:04:12,470 --> 00:04:12,480 the pages alone would have required the 195 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,270 the pages alone would have required the swording of over 200 dunkeys. Back then, 196 00:04:15,270 --> 00:04:15,280 swording of over 200 dunkeys. Back then, 197 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,749 swording of over 200 dunkeys. Back then, a dunkey cost half the yearly salary of 198 00:04:17,749 --> 00:04:17,759 a dunkey cost half the yearly salary of 199 00:04:17,759 --> 00:04:20,390 a dunkey cost half the yearly salary of a villager. So only someone very rich 200 00:04:20,390 --> 00:04:20,400 a villager. So only someone very rich 201 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,469 a villager. So only someone very rich could have had the resources to back 202 00:04:22,469 --> 00:04:22,479 could have had the resources to back 203 00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:24,150 could have had the resources to back this initiative. Look at the 204 00:04:24,150 --> 00:04:24,160 this initiative. Look at the 205 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,390 this initiative. Look at the illustrations. In medieval times, even 206 00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:26,400 illustrations. In medieval times, even 207 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,629 illustrations. In medieval times, even the most noble scribes used black and 208 00:04:28,629 --> 00:04:28,639 the most noble scribes used black and 209 00:04:28,639 --> 00:04:30,710 the most noble scribes used black and red ink because they were the cheapest. 210 00:04:30,710 --> 00:04:30,720 red ink because they were the cheapest. 211 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,749 red ink because they were the cheapest. And here in the Codex Gigas, well, this 212 00:04:33,749 --> 00:04:33,759 And here in the Codex Gigas, well, this 213 00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:36,230 And here in the Codex Gigas, well, this book is adorned in blue. Do you know how 214 00:04:36,230 --> 00:04:36,240 book is adorned in blue. Do you know how 215 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,469 book is adorned in blue. Do you know how expensive blue dye was back then? The 216 00:04:38,469 --> 00:04:38,479 expensive blue dye was back then? The 217 00:04:38,479 --> 00:04:40,390 expensive blue dye was back then? The amount of blue used for illustrations 218 00:04:40,390 --> 00:04:40,400 amount of blue used for illustrations 219 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,629 amount of blue used for illustrations alone could have bought you a large farm 220 00:04:42,629 --> 00:04:42,639 alone could have bought you a large farm 221 00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:45,110 alone could have bought you a large farm with a few servants. Four, the writer 222 00:04:45,110 --> 00:04:45,120 with a few servants. Four, the writer 223 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,749 with a few servants. Four, the writer must have been highly educated. Whoever 224 00:04:47,749 --> 00:04:47,759 must have been highly educated. Whoever 225 00:04:47,759 --> 00:04:50,070 must have been highly educated. Whoever wrote the Codex Gigas was already a very 226 00:04:50,070 --> 00:04:50,080 wrote the Codex Gigas was already a very 227 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,950 wrote the Codex Gigas was already a very well-trained scribe and scholar. They'd 228 00:04:52,950 --> 00:04:52,960 well-trained scribe and scholar. They'd 229 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,870 well-trained scribe and scholar. They'd read thousands of books and they'd 230 00:04:54,870 --> 00:04:54,880 read thousands of books and they'd 231 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,510 read thousands of books and they'd written books already. This was the work 232 00:04:57,510 --> 00:04:57,520 written books already. This was the work 233 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,670 written books already. This was the work of a professional. Because of all the 234 00:04:59,670 --> 00:04:59,680 of a professional. Because of all the 235 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,510 of a professional. Because of all the intricate illustrations inside, the 236 00:05:01,510 --> 00:05:01,520 intricate illustrations inside, the 237 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,830 intricate illustrations inside, the writer must have been a painter. Six. 238 00:05:03,830 --> 00:05:03,840 writer must have been a painter. Six. 239 00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:05,510 writer must have been a painter. Six. The book includes the New and Old 240 00:05:05,510 --> 00:05:05,520 The book includes the New and Old 241 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,430 The book includes the New and Old Testament along with incantations and 242 00:05:07,430 --> 00:05:07,440 Testament along with incantations and 243 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,310 Testament along with incantations and alchemical practices. The author was not 244 00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:10,320 alchemical practices. The author was not 245 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,550 alchemical practices. The author was not only a Christian priest or scribe, he 246 00:05:12,550 --> 00:05:12,560 only a Christian priest or scribe, he 247 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,029 only a Christian priest or scribe, he was also initiated in the occult. 248 00:05:15,029 --> 00:05:15,039 was also initiated in the occult. 249 00:05:15,039 --> 00:05:17,749 was also initiated in the occult. Whoever wrote it lived in the Holy Roman 250 00:05:17,749 --> 00:05:17,759 Whoever wrote it lived in the Holy Roman 251 00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:19,830 Whoever wrote it lived in the Holy Roman Empire, perhaps in Germany or Czech 252 00:05:19,830 --> 00:05:19,840 Empire, perhaps in Germany or Czech 253 00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:22,230 Empire, perhaps in Germany or Czech Republic. Eight. Last but most 254 00:05:22,230 --> 00:05:22,240 Republic. Eight. Last but most 255 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,950 Republic. Eight. Last but most important, the writer didn't show any 256 00:05:24,950 --> 00:05:24,960 important, the writer didn't show any 257 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,990 important, the writer didn't show any signs of aging. That's why many believe 258 00:05:27,990 --> 00:05:28,000 signs of aging. That's why many believe 259 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,990 signs of aging. That's why many believe the initial story that Herman wrote 260 00:05:29,990 --> 00:05:30,000 the initial story that Herman wrote 261 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,110 the initial story that Herman wrote Codex Gigas in just one day. But that's 262 00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:33,120 Codex Gigas in just one day. But that's 263 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,310 Codex Gigas in just one day. But that's impossible. So I have another theory. In 264 00:05:36,310 --> 00:05:36,320 impossible. So I have another theory. In 265 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,070 impossible. So I have another theory. In medieval Europe, there were many many 266 00:05:38,070 --> 00:05:38,080 medieval Europe, there were many many 267 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,670 medieval Europe, there were many many alchemists. 268 00:05:39,670 --> 00:05:39,680 alchemists. 269 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,749 alchemists. Some of them were very close to the 270 00:05:41,749 --> 00:05:41,759 Some of them were very close to the 271 00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:44,469 Some of them were very close to the creation of the philosopher stone. And 272 00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:44,479 creation of the philosopher stone. And 273 00:05:44,479 --> 00:05:46,469 creation of the philosopher stone. And we know the philosopher stone prolongs 274 00:05:46,469 --> 00:05:46,479 we know the philosopher stone prolongs 275 00:05:46,479 --> 00:05:49,350 we know the philosopher stone prolongs longevity, transmutes metals into gold. 276 00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:49,360 longevity, transmutes metals into gold. 277 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,749 longevity, transmutes metals into gold. And according to some, it could even 278 00:05:51,749 --> 00:05:51,759 And according to some, it could even 279 00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:54,870 And according to some, it could even bring eternal life. Could our author 280 00:05:54,870 --> 00:05:54,880 bring eternal life. Could our author 281 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,350 bring eternal life. Could our author have been an alchemist? Whoever he was, 282 00:05:57,350 --> 00:05:57,360 have been an alchemist? Whoever he was, 283 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,590 have been an alchemist? Whoever he was, he didn't necessarily need the 284 00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:59,600 he didn't necessarily need the 285 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,430 he didn't necessarily need the philosopher stone. There's another 286 00:06:01,430 --> 00:06:01,440 philosopher stone. There's another 287 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,270 philosopher stone. There's another alchemical substance that allows 288 00:06:03,270 --> 00:06:03,280 alchemical substance that allows 289 00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:05,270 alchemical substance that allows longevity. I have covered it in a 290 00:06:05,270 --> 00:06:05,280 longevity. I have covered it in a 291 00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:08,550 longevity. I have covered it in a previous video. It's called Ans Melissa. 292 00:06:08,550 --> 00:06:08,560 previous video. It's called Ans Melissa. 293 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,629 previous video. It's called Ans Melissa. Many will say that writing the book in 294 00:06:10,629 --> 00:06:10,639 Many will say that writing the book in 295 00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:12,629 Many will say that writing the book in just one day seems more plausible than 296 00:06:12,629 --> 00:06:12,639 just one day seems more plausible than 297 00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:14,550 just one day seems more plausible than alchemy being real. But have this in 298 00:06:14,550 --> 00:06:14,560 alchemy being real. But have this in 299 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,189 alchemy being real. But have this in mind. All the medicine and pharmacy we 300 00:06:17,189 --> 00:06:17,199 mind. All the medicine and pharmacy we 301 00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:20,150 mind. All the medicine and pharmacy we have today comes from alchemy. Every 302 00:06:20,150 --> 00:06:20,160 have today comes from alchemy. Every 303 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,309 have today comes from alchemy. Every single chemical reaction we know 304 00:06:22,309 --> 00:06:22,319 single chemical reaction we know 305 00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:24,230 single chemical reaction we know alchemists have studied. In every 306 00:06:24,230 --> 00:06:24,240 alchemists have studied. In every 307 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,230 alchemists have studied. In every village in Europe when people were sick 308 00:06:26,230 --> 00:06:26,240 village in Europe when people were sick 309 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,230 village in Europe when people were sick they went to the alchemist for help. Now 310 00:06:28,230 --> 00:06:28,240 they went to the alchemist for help. Now 311 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,469 they went to the alchemist for help. Now you know the conditions. Let's see how 312 00:06:30,469 --> 00:06:30,479 you know the conditions. Let's see how 313 00:06:30,479 --> 00:06:32,150 you know the conditions. Let's see how many of the people from the list have 314 00:06:32,150 --> 00:06:32,160 many of the people from the list have 315 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,070 many of the people from the list have lived in the Holy Roman Empire in the 316 00:06:34,070 --> 00:06:34,080 lived in the Holy Roman Empire in the 317 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,029 lived in the Holy Roman Empire in the 1200s, knew four languages, were a 318 00:06:37,029 --> 00:06:37,039 1200s, knew four languages, were a 319 00:06:37,039 --> 00:06:39,590 1200s, knew four languages, were a priest with a formal education, had 320 00:06:39,590 --> 00:06:39,600 priest with a formal education, had 321 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,230 priest with a formal education, had written books before, could paint, had 322 00:06:42,230 --> 00:06:42,240 written books before, could paint, had 323 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,790 written books before, could paint, had the means to write such a book, and were 324 00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:44,800 the means to write such a book, and were 325 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,510 the means to write such a book, and were also an alchemist. Well, obviously not 326 00:06:47,510 --> 00:06:47,520 also an alchemist. Well, obviously not 327 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,309 also an alchemist. Well, obviously not many. So, we have our top three 328 00:06:50,309 --> 00:06:50,319 many. So, we have our top three 329 00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:52,550 many. So, we have our top three contenders here. 330 00:06:52,550 --> 00:06:52,560 contenders here. 331 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,309 contenders here. Roger Bacon, a philosopher and 332 00:06:54,309 --> 00:06:54,319 Roger Bacon, a philosopher and 333 00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:56,070 Roger Bacon, a philosopher and alchemist, lived in the correct time 334 00:06:56,070 --> 00:06:56,080 alchemist, lived in the correct time 335 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,309 alchemist, lived in the correct time period. He spoke all four languages, 336 00:06:58,309 --> 00:06:58,319 period. He spoke all four languages, 337 00:06:58,319 --> 00:07:01,589 period. He spoke all four languages, Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, and Latin. He was 338 00:07:01,589 --> 00:07:01,599 Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, and Latin. He was 339 00:07:01,599 --> 00:07:04,150 Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, and Latin. He was raised in Christian theology and had the 340 00:07:04,150 --> 00:07:04,160 raised in Christian theology and had the 341 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,550 raised in Christian theology and had the means to afford 200 donkeys and bud 342 00:07:06,550 --> 00:07:06,560 means to afford 200 donkeys and bud 343 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,670 means to afford 200 donkeys and bud dies, but he never lived near Czech 344 00:07:09,670 --> 00:07:09,680 dies, but he never lived near Czech 345 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,990 dies, but he never lived near Czech Bohemia where the manuscript was 346 00:07:11,990 --> 00:07:12,000 Bohemia where the manuscript was 347 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,710 Bohemia where the manuscript was written. He spent most of his years at 348 00:07:14,710 --> 00:07:14,720 written. He spent most of his years at 349 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,670 written. He spent most of his years at Oxford. Michael Scott is another good 350 00:07:17,670 --> 00:07:17,680 Oxford. Michael Scott is another good 351 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,390 Oxford. Michael Scott is another good candidate. Michael was a philosopher who 352 00:07:20,390 --> 00:07:20,400 candidate. Michael was a philosopher who 353 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,029 candidate. Michael was a philosopher who spent the time between 1220 and 1250 in 354 00:07:23,029 --> 00:07:23,039 spent the time between 1220 and 1250 in 355 00:07:23,039 --> 00:07:25,270 spent the time between 1220 and 1250 in Germany's royal court. That's very close 356 00:07:25,270 --> 00:07:25,280 Germany's royal court. That's very close 357 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,589 Germany's royal court. That's very close to the monastery where Codex Gigas was 358 00:07:27,589 --> 00:07:27,599 to the monastery where Codex Gigas was 359 00:07:27,599 --> 00:07:30,629 to the monastery where Codex Gigas was first written, but he spoke only three 360 00:07:30,629 --> 00:07:30,639 first written, but he spoke only three 361 00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:33,510 first written, but he spoke only three of the four languages used in the book. 362 00:07:33,510 --> 00:07:33,520 of the four languages used in the book. 363 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,670 of the four languages used in the book. He'd never been a priest or deeply 364 00:07:35,670 --> 00:07:35,680 He'd never been a priest or deeply 365 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,510 He'd never been a priest or deeply involved with the church either. So, we 366 00:07:37,510 --> 00:07:37,520 involved with the church either. So, we 367 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,830 involved with the church either. So, we can safely scratch him off the list. 368 00:07:39,830 --> 00:07:39,840 can safely scratch him off the list. 369 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,550 can safely scratch him off the list. This leaves us with only one person, 370 00:07:42,550 --> 00:07:42,560 This leaves us with only one person, 371 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,430 This leaves us with only one person, Albertus Magnus, one of the most famous 372 00:07:45,430 --> 00:07:45,440 Albertus Magnus, one of the most famous 373 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,469 Albertus Magnus, one of the most famous alchemists of all time. He spoke all 374 00:07:48,469 --> 00:07:48,479 alchemists of all time. He spoke all 375 00:07:48,479 --> 00:07:50,390 alchemists of all time. He spoke all four languages, lived in Germany, and 376 00:07:50,390 --> 00:07:50,400 four languages, lived in Germany, and 377 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,270 four languages, lived in Germany, and studied a formal education in Italy. 378 00:07:53,270 --> 00:07:53,280 studied a formal education in Italy. 379 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,110 studied a formal education in Italy. There are records of him passing through 380 00:07:55,110 --> 00:07:55,120 There are records of him passing through 381 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,950 There are records of him passing through the Czech Republic more than a few 382 00:07:56,950 --> 00:07:56,960 the Czech Republic more than a few 383 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,469 the Czech Republic more than a few times. He wasn't necessarily rich, but 384 00:08:00,469 --> 00:08:00,479 times. He wasn't necessarily rich, but 385 00:08:00,479 --> 00:08:02,629 times. He wasn't necessarily rich, but he could easily afford the means to 386 00:08:02,629 --> 00:08:02,639 he could easily afford the means to 387 00:08:02,639 --> 00:08:05,749 he could easily afford the means to create such a book. Albertas was backed 388 00:08:05,749 --> 00:08:05,759 create such a book. Albertas was backed 389 00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:07,830 create such a book. Albertas was backed by the Dominican order, a religious 390 00:08:07,830 --> 00:08:07,840 by the Dominican order, a religious 391 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,230 by the Dominican order, a religious order that often advised lords, kings, 392 00:08:10,230 --> 00:08:10,240 order that often advised lords, kings, 393 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,309 order that often advised lords, kings, and emperors throughout whole Europe. If 394 00:08:12,309 --> 00:08:12,319 and emperors throughout whole Europe. If 395 00:08:12,319 --> 00:08:14,390 and emperors throughout whole Europe. If you've watched or read medieval fantasy, 396 00:08:14,390 --> 00:08:14,400 you've watched or read medieval fantasy, 397 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,230 you've watched or read medieval fantasy, there's always a magician adviser that 398 00:08:16,230 --> 00:08:16,240 there's always a magician adviser that 399 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,270 there's always a magician adviser that is closest to the king. Well, in real 400 00:08:19,270 --> 00:08:19,280 is closest to the king. Well, in real 401 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,510 is closest to the king. Well, in real life history, this was a Dominican 402 00:08:21,510 --> 00:08:21,520 life history, this was a Dominican 403 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,309 life history, this was a Dominican order. Albertus Magnus became a bishop. 404 00:08:24,309 --> 00:08:24,319 order. Albertus Magnus became a bishop. 405 00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:27,189 order. Albertus Magnus became a bishop. So we can also safely check theology and 406 00:08:27,189 --> 00:08:27,199 So we can also safely check theology and 407 00:08:27,199 --> 00:08:29,189 So we can also safely check theology and priesthood too. Did I mention that he 408 00:08:29,189 --> 00:08:29,199 priesthood too. Did I mention that he 409 00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:31,749 priesthood too. Did I mention that he was a true alchemist as well? In his 410 00:08:31,749 --> 00:08:31,759 was a true alchemist as well? In his 411 00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:34,230 was a true alchemist as well? In his works, he mentioned he had seen and 412 00:08:34,230 --> 00:08:34,240 works, he mentioned he had seen and 413 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,630 works, he mentioned he had seen and knows how to transmute metal into gold. 414 00:08:36,630 --> 00:08:36,640 knows how to transmute metal into gold. 415 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,550 knows how to transmute metal into gold. He worked restlessly to pursue the 416 00:08:38,550 --> 00:08:38,560 He worked restlessly to pursue the 417 00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:40,949 He worked restlessly to pursue the philosopher stone and most of his 418 00:08:40,949 --> 00:08:40,959 philosopher stone and most of his 419 00:08:40,959 --> 00:08:43,110 philosopher stone and most of his contemporary scholars believed he even 420 00:08:43,110 --> 00:08:43,120 contemporary scholars believed he even 421 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,710 contemporary scholars believed he even found it. There are just two small boxes 422 00:08:44,710 --> 00:08:44,720 found it. There are just two small boxes 423 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,949 found it. There are just two small boxes left to check. Was he a great painter? 424 00:08:46,949 --> 00:08:46,959 left to check. Was he a great painter? 425 00:08:46,959 --> 00:08:49,990 left to check. Was he a great painter? Yeah. Had he written books before? Well, 426 00:08:49,990 --> 00:08:50,000 Yeah. Had he written books before? Well, 427 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,150 Yeah. Had he written books before? Well, not only had Alberto's Magnus written 428 00:08:52,150 --> 00:08:52,160 not only had Alberto's Magnus written 429 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,030 not only had Alberto's Magnus written previous books, but I've also read 430 00:08:55,030 --> 00:08:55,040 previous books, but I've also read 431 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,030 previous books, but I've also read several of them because I was interested 432 00:08:57,030 --> 00:08:57,040 several of them because I was interested 433 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,910 several of them because I was interested in alchemy. So, let's compare the pages 434 00:08:59,910 --> 00:08:59,920 in alchemy. So, let's compare the pages 435 00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:02,230 in alchemy. So, let's compare the pages that I have and see if the formatting 436 00:09:02,230 --> 00:09:02,240 that I have and see if the formatting 437 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,070 that I have and see if the formatting and writing style match. 438 00:09:06,070 --> 00:09:06,080 and writing style match. 439 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,790 and writing style match. Here's one of Alberto's books in Latin. 440 00:09:08,790 --> 00:09:08,800 Here's one of Alberto's books in Latin. 441 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,550 Here's one of Alberto's books in Latin. Notice the blue used for the capital 442 00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:10,560 Notice the blue used for the capital 443 00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:13,190 Notice the blue used for the capital letters. Isn't that the exact same blue 444 00:09:13,190 --> 00:09:13,200 letters. Isn't that the exact same blue 445 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,190 letters. Isn't that the exact same blue used in the decorations of the Devil's 446 00:09:15,190 --> 00:09:15,200 used in the decorations of the Devil's 447 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,750 used in the decorations of the Devil's Bible? A dye that almost nobody had 448 00:09:17,750 --> 00:09:17,760 Bible? A dye that almost nobody had 449 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:29,269 Bible? A dye that almost nobody had access to in the 1200s. 450 00:09:29,269 --> 00:09:29,279 451 00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:31,509 452 00:09:31,509 --> 00:09:31,519 Look at the formatting and the letters. 453 00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:34,230 Look at the formatting and the letters. Here's another one of his books. We can 454 00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:34,240 Here's another one of his books. We can 455 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,870 Here's another one of his books. We can see his script varies per book, but some 456 00:09:36,870 --> 00:09:36,880 see his script varies per book, but some 457 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,110 see his script varies per book, but some of the letters look quite close to me to 458 00:09:39,110 --> 00:09:39,120 of the letters look quite close to me to 459 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,350 of the letters look quite close to me to what we saw in the Codex Gigas. Look at 460 00:09:41,350 --> 00:09:41,360 what we saw in the Codex Gigas. Look at 461 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,910 what we saw in the Codex Gigas. Look at the illustrations in the text of Magnus 462 00:09:43,910 --> 00:09:43,920 the illustrations in the text of Magnus 463 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,829 the illustrations in the text of Magnus book. They are of the highest level 464 00:09:45,829 --> 00:09:45,839 book. They are of the highest level 465 00:09:45,839 --> 00:09:47,590 book. They are of the highest level indeed. I looked through hundreds of his 466 00:09:47,590 --> 00:09:47,600 indeed. I looked through hundreds of his 467 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,949 indeed. I looked through hundreds of his pages. No mistakes. Same uniform script 468 00:09:50,949 --> 00:09:50,959 pages. No mistakes. Same uniform script 469 00:09:50,959 --> 00:09:52,949 pages. No mistakes. Same uniform script all throughout. That combined with the 470 00:09:52,949 --> 00:09:52,959 all throughout. That combined with the 471 00:09:52,959 --> 00:09:55,190 all throughout. That combined with the eight criteria he matches gives us 472 00:09:55,190 --> 00:09:55,200 eight criteria he matches gives us 473 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,509 eight criteria he matches gives us plenty of reason to believe he might 474 00:09:57,509 --> 00:09:57,519 plenty of reason to believe he might 475 00:09:57,519 --> 00:09:59,590 plenty of reason to believe he might have been the one to write the Codex 476 00:09:59,590 --> 00:09:59,600 have been the one to write the Codex 477 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,630 have been the one to write the Codex Gigas. But if Alberto's Magnus really 478 00:10:02,630 --> 00:10:02,640 Gigas. But if Alberto's Magnus really 479 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,030 Gigas. But if Alberto's Magnus really wrote the devil's Bible, then why does 480 00:10:05,030 --> 00:10:05,040 wrote the devil's Bible, then why does 481 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,509 wrote the devil's Bible, then why does the original legend site a sinful priest 482 00:10:07,509 --> 00:10:07,519 the original legend site a sinful priest 483 00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:10,230 the original legend site a sinful priest named Herman being the author? I looked 484 00:10:10,230 --> 00:10:10,240 named Herman being the author? I looked 485 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,070 named Herman being the author? I looked deeper into that and found out that 486 00:10:12,070 --> 00:10:12,080 deeper into that and found out that 487 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,470 deeper into that and found out that Alberta's Magnus had a younger brother 488 00:10:14,470 --> 00:10:14,480 Alberta's Magnus had a younger brother 489 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,870 Alberta's Magnus had a younger brother called Henry. Henry followed in the 490 00:10:16,870 --> 00:10:16,880 called Henry. Henry followed in the 491 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,030 called Henry. Henry followed in the footsteps of his older brother. It too 492 00:10:19,030 --> 00:10:19,040 footsteps of his older brother. It too 493 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,630 footsteps of his older brother. It too was a priest, but much less prominent 494 00:10:22,630 --> 00:10:22,640 was a priest, but much less prominent 495 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,870 was a priest, but much less prominent and not nearly as smart or well 496 00:10:24,870 --> 00:10:24,880 and not nearly as smart or well 497 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,430 and not nearly as smart or well educated. Henry wanted to step out of 498 00:10:27,430 --> 00:10:27,440 educated. Henry wanted to step out of 499 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,990 educated. Henry wanted to step out of his brother's shadow. He traveled to 500 00:10:29,990 --> 00:10:30,000 his brother's shadow. He traveled to 501 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,310 his brother's shadow. He traveled to Bohemia where he went into a monastery 502 00:10:32,310 --> 00:10:32,320 Bohemia where he went into a monastery 503 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,630 Bohemia where he went into a monastery and changed his name. In the legend, the 504 00:10:34,630 --> 00:10:34,640 and changed his name. In the legend, the 505 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,389 and changed his name. In the legend, the name of the priest who wrote the book 506 00:10:36,389 --> 00:10:36,399 name of the priest who wrote the book 507 00:10:36,399 --> 00:10:39,350 name of the priest who wrote the book was Herman. I connected the dots here 508 00:10:39,350 --> 00:10:39,360 was Herman. I connected the dots here 509 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,470 was Herman. I connected the dots here when I found out that Henry and Hermon 510 00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:42,480 when I found out that Henry and Hermon 511 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,590 when I found out that Henry and Hermon are practically the same name. It's not 512 00:10:45,590 --> 00:10:45,600 are practically the same name. It's not 513 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,350 are practically the same name. It's not uncommon for people to change their 514 00:10:47,350 --> 00:10:47,360 uncommon for people to change their 515 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,750 uncommon for people to change their names when they go into a monastery. It 516 00:10:49,750 --> 00:10:49,760 names when they go into a monastery. It 517 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,389 names when they go into a monastery. It turns out both names Herman and Henry 518 00:10:52,389 --> 00:10:52,399 turns out both names Herman and Henry 519 00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:55,190 turns out both names Herman and Henry come from ancient Germanic roots and 520 00:10:55,190 --> 00:10:55,200 come from ancient Germanic roots and 521 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,590 come from ancient Germanic roots and they mean rich warrior or part of the 522 00:10:57,590 --> 00:10:57,600 they mean rich warrior or part of the 523 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,870 they mean rich warrior or part of the army. My theory is that Herman, who 524 00:11:00,870 --> 00:11:00,880 army. My theory is that Herman, who 525 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,870 army. My theory is that Herman, who officially wrote the Codex Gigas in the 526 00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:02,880 officially wrote the Codex Gigas in the 527 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,430 officially wrote the Codex Gigas in the story, and Alberta's Magnus brother 528 00:11:05,430 --> 00:11:05,440 story, and Alberta's Magnus brother 529 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,949 story, and Alberta's Magnus brother Henry are the same person.
