1665 Athanasius Central Fire Geology Kircher Science Sectional View Volcanoes Vulcanology Mundus

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) takes us back in time to the 17th century, showcasing a sectional view of Earth as depicted by Athanasius Kircher. In this intricate illustration, we are granted a glimpse into the inner workings of our planet, revealing its central fire and the awe-inspiring power of volcanoes. Kircher's Mundus Subterraneous, published in 1665, was an ambitious attempt to understand and explain the geological wonders that shape our world. This particular image stands as a testament to his pioneering work in geology and vulcanology. The sectional view reveals a hidden realm beneath our feet where molten lava flows through vast networks of underground chambers. The central fire at Earth's core is depicted as an intense source of heat and energy that drives volcanic activity across the globe. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of scientific artistry, we cannot help but marvel at Kircher's ability to visualize what lies beyond our immediate perception. His meticulous attention to detail transports us into a realm where science meets imagination. This print serves as a reminder not only of how far our understanding has come since Kircher's time but also of the enduring fascination with Earth's mysteries. It invites us to contemplate the forces that have shaped our planet for millions of years and continue to shape it today.
