StarMountainKid Posted May 28, 2013 #2 Share Posted May 28, 2013 From my little research it is in the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, the Vatican Library. I could be mistaken, of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blink4567 Posted May 28, 2013 #3 Share Posted May 28, 2013 SMK is right, but you can always visit the Vaitcan website to double check . Also Cambridge and Oxford have amazing resources as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaylemurph Posted May 28, 2013 #6 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Are you by any chance, reading Dan Brown's Inferno? ....that's the scariest question I've ever seen posted here. --Jaylemurph 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaylemurph Posted May 28, 2013 #8 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Why is it scary? It suggests someone might have picked up and read Dan Brown. --Jaylemurph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaylemurph Posted May 28, 2013 #10 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I read the review, it talked about Botticelli's Mappa De L'Inferno . I know, but other people might have read it. Presumably, the poor person who wrote the review did. I hope he got an air-sick bag first.

Wordless Wanderer Posted May 29, 2013 #11 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I did the horrible mistake of reading his The Lost Symbol, I really wanted to tear the book in half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skithia Posted May 29, 2013 #12 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Awful books with subjects deliberately chosen to cause controversy so people will buy the book to find out what all the fuss is about. Only to then find themselves reading complete drivel, badly written and with characters that are too 2 dimensional for even a graphic novel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucidElement Posted May 30, 2013 Author #15 Share Posted May 30, 2013 i enjoy his books. He brings a lot of research to light but of course twists in his theories. But, I was at the vatican last summer and didnt really know about the map of hell at the time. I tried researching on the internet where it was and came up blank. So, where is it at???

jaylemurph Posted May 30, 2013 #16 Share Posted May 30, 2013 It's held in the Bibliotheca Apostolica Vaticana -- since this isn't a museum, it may not be on public display, and a reader's card, I believe, is not available to undergraduates. You may be able to find it available on their website at higher resolution: http://www.vatlib.it/home.php?ling=eng&res=1366x768 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He researches on his work, yes. But he tries a tad too hard to turn it into a fast paced thriller. The twists that he writes are too cliche. And as for the map of hell ;its in the Vatican archives, you can't access it unless you're an academic researcher and the map revolves around your subject of research. Or you're an university student writing a thesis or a dissertation on that subject, you'd need an undertaking on your university's letterhead signed by your professor and stuff for that.

Abramelin Posted June 17, 2013 #19 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Atlantis-Newsletter 58: Atlantis in Dante's Inferno?! http://www.atlantis-...wsl_archive.htm Dante talks of submerging continents ... the fall of Phaeton? ... "king" Atlas? This is interesting! In Dante's Divine Comedy there are numerous ring structures in hell, purgatory and heaven. Yet these ideas have clearly other sources than Plato's Atlantis account. Nothing fits: The number of circles, their order, their function, etc. Only by force one could see a correspondance, here. This is valid, too, for the three rivers in hell (Acheron, Styx, Phlegeton) and the hell's city Dis which in no way can be linked with the three water circles of the Atlantis city center. It would be purely arbitrary. There is by the way a fourth river in Dante's Inferno, the Cocytus. http://www.atlantis-scout.de/atlantis_dante_engl.htm Post #719, Doggerland thread: http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=179840&st=705#entry4007449 And I have mentioned "ring structures" many times in that thread about a submerged area many (not me) think was the original Atlantis, or may have inspired Plato to make up a story about it (and that's what I think is somewhat possible - oral tradition).

conspiracy buff Posted June 17, 2013 #20 Share Posted June 17, 2013 It would be interesting to see a map of Dante's hell. Especially since he went into such detail about the specifics of the circles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had never seen that in all the Dante material, so that is definitely cool to see. Or should I say hot? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would prefer this map, here: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z4Bhp8nDYdA/SviXxJ7UDGI/AAAAAAAAAME/g0YHmrWL7gA/s1600/dantesInferno And ... this map shows in small the globe which is the basis for the "Atlantis-in-Dante?" article, here: http://www.atlantis-scout.de/atlantis_newsl_archive.htm Enjoy!

Abramelin Posted June 17, 2013 #24 Share Posted June 17, 2013 He wanted to see the original, not an interpretation of it. And why do you keep posting that link? It's YOU who owns that website, right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You surely realized that there is no "original", the "original" is the *text*, not any map. Each and every map is an interpretation. And since this is not a Dante poetry forum but a "Ancient Mysteries & Alternative History" forum. Atlantis is fully fitting, here. Especially, when I add value to the discussion concerning Dante's Aristotelian views which highly influenced his depictions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
