6 page fold out and earths "internal fires"

The perspective is indeed very interesting. Imagine that without boats and environment except the mountains / vulcano in the background. - There are still the "umbrellas" in the VMS.

I guess there was some loss with the last server crash.

I had previously answered this to the effect of Yes! In that the umbrellas had recently shown themselves to me to be volcanoes, and i took the above to indicate same, although rereading it now i am not so sure that is what was meant.

Then i posted some Kircher volcano and underground transfer of water and posited whether he could have seen some of this in the manuscript, to which the replies were to the effect that it was 1638 that Kircher went to Etna & Stromboli, and lowered himself into Vesuvius and was sent the manuscrpt after the publishing of Mundus Subterraneus in 1664, to which I replied, ah too bad the timing didn't work out.

But, what about the 1637 letter from Barschius, which evidently had facsimiles sent along? What if he had mentioned something about water flowing from strangely topped mountains through red lined tubes into green pools, ie f78r, or included a facsimile? Might that have sparked him on his journey?





That is the tube drawing i spoke of.

Just a thought. Quite a bit of Kircher's work seems analogous with the manuscript, including maps, and various other subjects, like Noah's Ark, although in most cases from what i can see, the manuscript actually does a better job of explanation in most cases. (i.e. at its simplest, You are not allowed to view links.
