The reproduction of roots as healing objects

[Jorge_Stolfi]

I launched Gemini and tried to capture everything in the image.

In my opinion, it got the towers mostly correct: round, squat, with Russian-style onion domes (which are quite different from the German/Austrian onion domes, and from the "Mediterranean" hemispherical or "helmet" domes).  

Although it is possible that the "squat" was just a stylistic liberty, and the Scribe actually thought of the height:width ratio of the tower body as being twice of what he drew.

In the second version you posted, the "starred canopy" looks almost right.  But on the VMS it is not attached to the towers.  It floats in mid-air, with the "tassels" reaching out through the gaps between the spires of the towers.

I would say that most of the rest is incorrect.  The hatched bands in the VMS drawing probably are meant to indicate a sharp difference of elevation between each circular walkway and the next inner level.  I don't know what the "tombstones for dots" are supposed to be, but they are not what Gemini drew. 

And it is hard to tell how the "pipes" were supposed to be pointing, because the Scribe is very bad at perspective.  But my guess is that they were supposed to be horizontal or partially tilted up, like cannons.  Which maybe is what they were meant to be...

And finally Gemini ignored the wolkenband just above the pipes, which I suppose means that the whole island above the "artillery deck" is up in the clouds...

All the best, --stolfi
