Dear Dark Map,

Get real, Pleeezzee !!!!

The Necronomicon is a twentieth century invention.
Several people wrote versions of this based on a 
fictional story by H.P. Lovecraft. 

That is why it appeals to twentieth century minds. The 
various versions were targeted at specific audiences.

It is a CON  - a necronomicon.

Please research in depth not just skim the surface. 
Don't take the  first thing you read as true. Test, 
challenge, investigate, otherwise you will never be 
able to think clearly. You must not believe all you 
read on the Internet.

Oh I do despair sometimes!  This old chestnut !

Forgive me if you were just making a joke, and had 
not really taken this work seriously, but I do find, as 
I get older, that invented documents such as the 
Necronomicon are becoming more and more 
annoying to me, as they give a false context and 
make it difficult for people who do not have a 
sufficiently critical attitude, to see things clearly
or read history correctly.  It is difficult enough 
trying to grasp the context of a real manuscript
such as the Voynich without having it distorted 
through a prism of fabricated nonsense, written
only to make money, and to play games with 
people. Please don't let them play games with 
your mind. Test, challenge, investigate in depth.
