Born in 1601, Athanasius Kircher has been hailed as the "last Renaissance Man" owing to his scholarly works in fields as diverse as biology, geology, medicine and technology. Among his most remarkable books was Mundus Subterraneus, a study of the Earth's interior that might have inspired Jules Verne.Kircher wrote his 1664 opus some three decades after he undertook an expedition inside Mt. Vesuvius — around the time it had experienced its first major eruption in centuries. The interior of the volcano, he wrote, was, "all up and down everywhere, cragged and broken, while its chamber was "made hollow directly and straight." The bottom of the crater was"boiling with an everlasting gushing forth, and streamings of smoke and flames, and employed in decocting Sulphur, Bitumen and the melting and burning of other kinds of Minerals."As The Public Domain Review notes:It was within this hollow mountain that Kircher really began to develop the theories he set down so many years later in Mundus Subterraneus, to envision what it might be like even deeper within the earth, and how the mountains and fires and rivers and oceans might somehow all be connected.READ MORE PLUS SEE THE MAPS @ http://io9.com/remarkable-17th-century-maps-of-the-earths-interior-1632988827

"I have a pic from an astronomer-an armature painter, but a good one-'you are here' with an arrow pointing to the tip of the S arm in the painting of the Milky Way that he had done. It's a digital copy but it did not change to the O spur."
