EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate "ATLANTIS Map" according to the brilliant polymath Athanasius Kircher (1602-1680). Known for his extensive knowledge and wide-ranging interests, Kircher based his account of the fabled lost continent on the ancient writings of Plato. This remarkable piece is taken from Kircher's renowned work "Mundus Subterraneus" published in 1678. The map itself is a testament to Kircher's meticulous research and imaginative interpretation. It depicts Atlantis as a sprawling landmass surrounded by vast oceans, with intricate details highlighting various regions and landmarks that once thrived within this mythical realm. The intricacy of the map invites viewers to delve into its depths, exploring every nook and cranny in search of hidden secrets. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back to the 17th century when esoteric myths and legends held great fascination for scholars like Kircher. The enigmatic nature of Atlantis has captivated minds throughout history, fueling speculation about its existence and inspiring countless tales of wonder. This print not only serves as a visual representation but also acts as a portal into an era where paranormal phenomena were explored with both curiosity and reverence. It reminds us of humanity's enduring quest for knowledge, bridging gaps between ancient wisdom and modern understanding.
