Finding Atlantis…

 

Athanasius Kircher (1601 or 1602 – 1680) (sometimes erroneously spelled Kirchner) was a 17th century German Jesuit scholar who published around 40 works, most notably in the fields of oriental studies, geology, and medicine. Kircher has been compared to fellow Jesuit Roger Boscovich and to Leonardo da Vinci for his enormous range of interests, and has been honoured with the title “master of a hundred arts”
 
The last known example of Egyptian hieroglyphics dates from AD 394, after which all knowledge of hieroglyphics was lost. Until Thomas Young and Jean-François Champollion found the key to hieroglyphics in the 19th century, the main authority was the 4th century Greek grammarian Horapollon, whose chief contribution was the misconception that hieroglyphics were “picture writing” and that future translators should look for symbolic meaning in the pictures. The first modern study of hieroglyphics came with Piero Valeriano Bolzani’s nonsensical Hieroglyphica (1566), but Kircher was the most famous of the “decipherers” between ancient and modern times and the most famous Egyptologist of his day. In his Lingua Aegyptiaca Restituta (1643), Kircher called hieroglyphics “this language hitherto unknown in Europe, in which there are as many pictures as letters, as many riddles as sounds, in short as many mazes to be escaped from as mountains to be climbed”. While some of his notions are long discredited, portions of his work have been valuable to later scholars, and Kircher helped pioneer Egyptology as a field of serious study.
 
Kircher’s interest in Egyptology began in 1628 when he became intrigued by a collection of hieroglyphs in the library at Speyer. He learned Coptic in 1633 and published the first grammar of that language in 1636, the Prodromus coptus sive aegyptiacus. Kircher then broke with Horapollon’s interpretation of the language of the hieroglyphs with his Lingua aegyptiaca restituta. Kircher argued that Coptic preserved the last development of ancient Egyptian. For this Kircher has been considered the true “founder of Egyptology”, because his work was conducted “before the discovery of the Rosetta Stone rendered Egyptian hieroglyphics comprehensible to scholars”. He also recognised the relationship between the hieratic and hieroglyphic scripts.
 
Although his approach to deciphering the texts was based on a fundamental misconception, Kircher did pioneer serious study of hieroglyphs, and the data which he collected were later used by Champollion in his successful efforts to decode the script. Kircher himself was alive to the possibility of the hieroglyphs constituting an alphabet; he included in his proposed system (incorrect) derivations of the Greek alphabet from 21 hieroglyphs.[citation needed] However, according to Joseph MacDonnell, it was “because of Kircher’s work that scientists knew what to look for when interpreting the Rosetta stone”. Another scholar of ancient Egypt, Erik Iverson, concluded:
 
It is therefore Kircher’s incontestable merit that he was the first to have discovered the phonetic value of an Egyptian hieroglyph. From a humanistic as well as an intellectual point of view Egyptology may very well be proud of having Kircher as its founder. Kircher was also actively involved in the erection of obelisks in Roman squares, often adding fantastic “hieroglyphs” of his own design in the blank areas that are now puzzling to modern scholars.
 
In 1669, Kircher presented the map of Atlantis in one of his great works “Mundi Subterranei”. This map was captured by the Romans in 30 B.C. from ancient Egypt:
 
 
 
..and that brings us to here. The following video presents analysis whereby statstics that would account for:
 
1. the high percentage match of the shape of the land mass
2. the location of the land mass
3. the direction in which the land mass is facing
 
would be sufficient in yielding that Atlantis is/was real and can be shown as you will see. Ancient map drawings were sometimes not to scale and each map was based on location voyaged to. The destination was drawn larger because that was the goal and accuracy was important on arrival.
 
 
 

Kircher purposely changed the direction from south to north as you can also read in wikipedia as they did in Egypt and was one of the ways they were able to tell the authencity of the map. Note in the diagram below north is being pointed to below rather than above. So we must do the same with the google map and view it upside down to match.

Similar to modern conclusions forced by current understanding of geology in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Kircher’s map depicts Atlantis, not as a continent, but an island. 

 

If you wish to see a video that expands on the area encompassing Atlantis and include the populace you can view this video. This takes into account the populace and Plato’s numbers of 370km x 555km.

      Sorry to be so blunt but…”Technical difficulties”???

      It’s called out with the old and in with the new…

      Your story was number one for a while..but it’s time had come.

      Great article tho, honestly. As a researcher of Lemuria/Atlantis, I can say this is a valuable find and one should take note to bookmark or save the contents.

      It may magically disappear again…

      If the seamout you have used was Atlantis it would not be the size in the map. The seamount is tiny, the map shows a sizable land mass/continent, not a tiny island, that you have blown up far in excess of it’s real size and turned so north is south.

      You are basically, triming the pieces to fit the puzzle.

      Also taking another look at the original map, it’s not very accurate. Gibralter is opposite florida, not the bulge on the east south american continent. In the map the bulge is much more rounded than it actually is.

      It’s probably a map of Greenland situated between the Hudson bay and the European Norse lands.
