language it's what we use to tell people to be quiet but it's also much more than
that it could be said that language is somewhat important to human history
every culture to ever exist seems to have developed its own language in fact
there are at least 5000 of them not all languages are equal many have been dead
for hundreds or even thousands of years many are spoken by just a handful of
people and might soon be gone themselves many are deeply mysterious be they of a
lost civilization from long ago an occult language shrouded in secrecy or
an even stranger tongue
in medieval times it was widely believed there was a divine language the language
spoken by angels and God Himself for many Val language could be found every
private journals of a man called John Dee Dee was england's foremost occultist
having spent years studying alchemy and magic eventually he became an advisor to
the Queen it was said he was able to summon demons and angels who taught evey
mysterious language in 1582 preserved in his writings of a language is unlike any
other its alphabet and grammar are unique even alien like read from left
who writes each letter has an English equivalent and has been fully translated
rumor told ver by speaking this tongue and all kinds of celestial feats could
be achieved including opening a gateway to heaven in following centuries some
came to believe it was really an evil language how the angels who revealed it
were demons in disguise most came to condemn it as demonic but there were
always some who believed it was divine modern linguists are equally divided
Enochian could easily be a forgery but it does have phonetic elements not found
in any other language and is still studied by a cultists go back to 16th
century Europe and you'd find that criminals have their own secret language
known as rogues cant' it was spoken by thieves
pirates highwayman gypsies and anyone else lumped him with a term rogue' they
were notoriously protective of a language teaching it only to trusted
members of the underclass authorities were desperate to learn it
often interrogating known rogues but heave rogues responded by changing
the language over time the origin of rogues count is unknown but according to
legend it was developed in 1530 by cock laurel a well-known criminal leader who
claims for title king of the gypsies there's no historical evidence Koch
Laurell even existed but modern analysis shows it likely did evolve from a gypsy
language of Romani yet vers only so much to analyze given it's a dead language
surrounded by legends
Easter Island one of our world's most remote and mysterious places for
hundreds of years it was home to an enigmatic culture famous for building
big-headed stone-faced idiot statues with Easter Island big so small that
culture struggled to survive and is now gone but I left behind a mysterious
undeciphered language called Rongorongo now to me Rongorongo sounds like a kind
of cartoon private detective but my opinion is worthless
dozens of wooden tablets of these strange symbols have been found thought
to be red in alternating directions it's possible the language is linked to ludus
cycles we don't know when it was developed but it was still in use up
until the 1860s within decades of falling out of use no one could remember
how to read it also by then most of the tablets have been used for firewood
leaving us with just a few dozen if rongorongo is ever translated perhaps
these tablets will reveal the purpose of the stone heads but that day will likely
never come
birds are annoying sometimes they're chirping wakes me up if I had my way
they'd all be dead but according to folklore vetting is actually a language
in Norse mythology the legendary King dag the wise could understand four
language of birds as could some figures in Greek mythology the Talmud says King
Solomon had the same ability and often took their advice what reason many other
legends have in common is that only those chosen by God can understand for
language it's said to be the world's only perfect language one vac and grant
an unlimited source of divine wisdom some Renaissance thinkers genuinely
believed in the language and spent years trying to decipher birdsong but of
course they had no success the Incan Empire was the largest of all Native
American empires it's pure vastness made communication difficult given they had
no horses or written language so to spread news messengers would literally
need to run between towns and deliver it but some information was too sensitive
to entrust to a messenger so a unique communication system was set up
messengers would carry complex devices made of string called Quipu. The position
and number of knots tied into the Quipu contains complex messages all kinds of
things could be found by reading a Quipu if I gave the ability to communicate
with remote villages in almost no time but only some people were able to read
Quipu it was a closely guarded tradition that disappeared with the
Empire some believed Quipu was just a system of accounting others believed it
was complex enough to constitute an entire language very few keep who have
survived but some have thousands of strings for much of
history women were denied education in some cases forbidden from learning to
read or write to get around this a secret written language was developed a
language used exclusively by women for hundreds of years
upper-class women in China sent each other hidden messages in Nushu mothers
totally arced about daughters ensuring it would survive for centuries from at
least the 1500s into modernity all the while keeping its existence a strict
secret when they died all they had written would usually be destroyed
it's said only one man ever achieved proficiency in Nushu going into the
1900s many Chinese women still used it but when the Japanese invaded they
outlawed Nushu fearing it would be used by rebels to send covert messages
this combined to have greater access to education slowly drains her life from
the art few today are able to read it
adverb order of France and Spain is a region code for Basque Country and this
region is home to a very unique language Basque is thought to be the oldest
language in Europe but its origin is completely unknown it has no known
connection to any other language as if it just appeared from nowhere the Basque
people have been here for at least six thousand years largely isolated by the
deep valleys high mountains and dense forests of their homeland so it makes
sense they were able to maintain this unique language but Basque itself could
be much older than six thousand years the structure of Basque is truly strange
and has always been difficult to translate all kinds of theories exist
concerning its origin some even claim it was been language of Atlantis and Vavi
Basque people are the descendants of that lost civilization
Freemasonry is pretty weird possibly the most notorious secret society from
history all kinds of powerful figures were Masons many Freemasons took to
studying ancient mysteries from which they developed a secret communication
method a writing system so complex a cipher was needed to decode it
there were many variations of a cipher and it proved such an effective system
it was used by Union forces in the American Civil War the origins of a
Masonic cipher are not known for certain some believed it grew from an ancient
school of Jewish mysticism it was used widely during the 18th and 19th
centuries but fell out of use when several books came out exposing the
cipher according to rumor newer even more complex ciphers were developed and
are still in use now to conceal Masonic Secrets
the islands of Crete was once home to a great Bronze Age civilization their
influence spread far and wide and they clearly enjoyed great wealth but are no
signs they at any kind of military force little is known about life Envy Minoan
civilization least of all how they avoided invasion from neighboring powers
their writing system is a complete mystery to us not one text in the
language has been deciphered known as linear a it seems to have not been
influenced by the language of naval civilizations and ass piping studied
since the 1950s it remains a language of mystery and so
when it comes to studying Europe's first great civilization we don't have much
more than works of art Greek mythology describes it as a land of monstrous
creatures like vermin at all as far as we know those myths could be true I mean
it definitely isn't because there's no such thing as a mine at all but still
until we get this language translated - whores are real they're real to me
speaking of mysterious Bronze Age civilizations none was larger Valley
Indus Valley Civilisation flourishing along the immense Indus River the
culture grew steadily eventually having a population in Vermillion x' at least
we think so we can't be sure about much because its language is undeciphered and
has no known descendants it seems to have simply died and been forgotten by
history and so despite this civilization surviving thousands of years and despite
more than 1,500 cities and settlements being discovered their language is a
mystery in every sense of the word all contemporary materials that reference
for language are also unreadable yet they clearly have the language and
knowledge of writing but there are so many mysteries of the civilization
likely Minoans they don't seem to have been militarily
minded at all how did they defend themselves for so long why did we
civilization finally collapse what happens to its inhabitants until their
language is deciphered we might never know
