Map of the Island of Atlantis

The black-and-white engraving depicts a central landmass labeled 'Insula Atlantis' situated in the middle of a vast ocean. To the left, the coastlines of Spain and Africa are visible, while to the right, a portion of the American continent appears. A small sailing ship is positioned in the upper right corner, and a circular symbol featuring an arrow pointing downward is marked on the southern section of the island. The map is drawn with horizontal lines indicating water, and a title cartouche sits in the upper left corner.

This map reflects the 17th-century intellectual fascination with Plato’s dialogues 'Timaeus' and 'Critias', where the story of Atlantis originated. Kircher famously included this map in his 'Mundus Subterraneus', presenting the mythical island as a geographical reality rooted in ancient Egyptian and Platonic tradition.
