The book nobody can read, worlds weirdest book, Codex Seraphinianus is an encyclopedia about an imaginary world written in a language nobody can read. It has over thousands of drawings and explanations about a world which probably doesn't exist. This 360 page book was published in 1981 by an Italian architect named Luigi Serafini and for 39 years the mystery is still unsolved. The author however says there is no mystery, he just wanted to convey the feeling children get when they look at books which they can't read. However the books number system was decoded by Allan C. Wechsler and Bulgarian Linguist Ivan Derzhanski. So the alphabet also might be a real one after all.
It's written in a left to right style and it contains both uppercase and lowercase letters. Some websites even mentioned this letters being similar to Sinhala alphabet. The book has eleven chapters (Flora, fauna, physics, chemistry, machines and vehicles, biology, history, codex writing system, food, games, architecture) and author says it took him 3 or 4 years to complete writing the book. Since its publication in 1981 the book has won many mystery enthusiasts attraction, yet no one was able to make sense of any of the descriptions or images in the book. So now it's your chance to take a look at this mystery and use your little grey cells.
