Mirror panel "Old map" Sculpture

Mirror panel with copper-silver amalgam. The map is clearly visible through the specular highlights and the amalgam blurred from to time. This is an ancient map of Orontius Finneus dated 1531 (32). It depicts the then undiscovered Antarctica (on a map called Terra Australis Incognita - Unknown Southern Land). The outlines of the mainland are shown without park ice, and the orientation of the mainland relative to other continents is erroneous. Today, cartographers suggest that this ancient map shows the geography of the Earth in the Paleogonic and Neogonic periods - 65 million years ago. And in 1935, the International Astronomical Union gave the name of the great scientist, mathematician and cartographer Orontius Phineus to a crater on the visible side of the moon. What do we see when we look in the "Old Map" Mirror Panel? Time that puts everything in its place. Mistakes that make us move on, study, learn and find the truth. The greatness and importance of everyone in the long history of mankind.
