Laat mij maar rondreizen en mooie plekken bezoeken. Neem me mee op je reis door 'Geocach-land' en plaats me in een mooi cache. Natuurlijk ben ik geïnteresseerd in ook buitenlandse caches, dus neem me gerust me op je wereldreis.
Bedankt voor je aandacht en goede zorg. Pretige reis verder.

About This Item

History
Cresques Abraham of the cartographic school on Majorca drew the atlas catalan, a world atlas. It was drawn in 1375 and it was the first time that a map used a compass rose. Completely unfolded the atlas is 65cm high (2 feet) and 3m long (10 feet). It does not only contain maps with miscellaneous figures and motives but also instructions for navigation, calendars and interpreting star constellations. The French national library has an original of this atlas.

Celestial Bodies
The central motive of the atlas' calendar wheel is the geocentric world of Ptolemy. In the center an astronomer with a quadrant and the four elements earth, water, air and fire (Terra, Aigua, Aær, Foch). Further shown the orbits of the seven known celestial bodies moon, mercury, venus, sun, mars, saturn and jupiter (Luna, Mærcuri, Vænus, Sol, Març, Saturnus, Louis).
The next ring shows for each of the bodies a figure and text about positions and appearance of the bodies.
The follwoing ring shows the 12 signs of the zodiac and a ring with the various moon phases.

I am sorry I am not writing an individual log for your special trackable.
There were way too many trackables at the GIGA to treat them all appropriately.
Thanks a lot for sharing and always happy caching.
