No text, but a visual code

[Antonio García Jiménez]

Academics can certainly make mistakes, but when someone has dedicated many years of their life to a specific field of knowledge, that person is a reliable source. In interpreting images from the past, I have learned a great deal from people like Aby Warburg and Erwin Panofsky. The latter taught how art and images in general illuminate the ideas of any historical moment.

  Stefan, I see that your main contribution to this forum is identifying the Rosettes with a geographical map of a region, specifically Crimea. To do this, you even provide real images taken from Google Maps. I'm not going to argue about that because it's pointless. You're just as convinced of it as I am that the Rosettes are a representation of the medieval cosmos.

    I won't repeat my thoughts on Rosettes here. Anyone interested can read about them in posts 1662, 1663, and 1673.
