Map of Atlantis by Athanasius Kircher

Map of Atlantis by Athanasius Kircher, dated 1675.

The earliest map we have of Atlantis comes from a German Jesuit in 17th-century Rome: Athanasius Kircher. Intensely pious, he was a polymath and a prolific author.

Kircher had was attracted to the mystical: a trait which bled into his written philosophical and scholarly works.
Kircher’s imagination had him write novel works on magnetism and miraculous plants and stones. His work fascinated the public but also infuriated other scholars.

Among Kircher’s theories was one by which the Earth was like a living body and water flew in and out of the Earth. He established Atlantis on his map to help advance this theory.
