1731 Copperplate print of alpine geology and recurved strata as evidence of the catastrophe of Noah's Flood. Print is from Johann Jakob Scheuchzer 's (born August 2nd 1672 - died June 23rd 1733) Physica Sacra (1731). The book was a scientifically illustrated Biblical History. In it and his earlier Lithographia helveticae,he states fossils as evidences of the Biblical flood. Notoriously he illustrated Homo Diluvii testis as a human victim of the flood. The fossil was only identified correctly as a giant Salamander by Cuvier in 1811 | |
