EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing map print, titled "Nova Terrae Australis Tabula," created by the renowned 17th-century German polymath Athanasius Kircher, presents a captivating representation of the mythical land of Atlantis. Contrary to its title suggesting a new land in the Southern Hemisphere, this map is, in fact, a depiction of the legendary sunken city. Positioned upside down relative to Europe, Africa, and America, Atlantis is shown as a vast island, located in the Atlantic Ocean, west of the Mediterranean Sea. The map's historical significance lies in its contribution to the folklore and mythology surrounding Atlantis, which has intrigued scholars and the public alike for centuries. Athanasius Kircher, a versatile intellectual, was a Jesuit priest, scholar, and professor of archaeology, Egyptology, and ethnology at the Roman College in Rome. He was a prolific writer and inventor, known for his wide-ranging knowledge and innovative ideas. The map of Atlantis is just one of his many works that showcase his curiosity and fascination with the unknown. The map's placement of Atlantis near the Americas and Africa may reflect the theories of ancient Greek philosopher Plato, who first wrote about Atlantis in his dialogues "Timaeus" and "Critias." Plato described Atlantis as a powerful and advanced civilization that existed around 9,000 years before his time, with a strong military and cultural influence on the Mediterranean world. The map's upside-down positioning could be a reflection of the mysterious and enigmatic nature of Atlantis, a place that continues to captivate the imagination and inspire countless stories and legends. This map print serves as a fascinating reminder of the enduring allure of Atlantis and the role that historical and mythical narratives play in shaping our understanding of the world and our place within it.
