Title: dante's earth theory
Post by: archer on December 02, 2021, 04:05:13 AM

I was reading Dante's Divine Comedy, and with some further research I found an image of his construction of the world. It is super interesting to consider, so let me know what you all think!

Yeah I've always loved how Dante views the world & afterlife. Great writer too!

It's also more than obvious his skill lay in poetry rather than astrophysics LOL.
