History:
In 1665 Kircher found a well-preserved, treated-leather map purporting to show the configuration and location of Atlantis among relatively few surviving documents from Imperial Roma in the Vatican Library. The map was not Roman, but brought in the first Centurty A.D. to Italy from Egypt, where it had been executed. It survived the demise of Classical Times, and found its way into the Vatican Library. Kircher copied it precisely, adding only a visual reference to the New World, and published it in his book Mundi Subterranei: The Subterranean World, in 1665. His caption states it is "a map of the island of Atlantis originally made in Egypt after Plato's description," which suggests it was created sometime following the 4th century B.C., perhaps by a Greek mapmaker attached to Ptolemies. More probably the map's first home was the Great Library of Alexandria, where numerous books and references to Atlantis were lost, along with another millionplus volumes, when the institution was burned by religious fanatics. In relocating to Rome, the map escaped that destruction.
