Divided World


M.C. Escher


If we want to study human culture, we soon find that all the history, all the historical culture, all the art, all the legends, all Mythology from historical times, deals with a divided world.

They always talk about memories, images, of a united world, an origin of the culture, an origin of knowledge, an origin of science. They vaguely remember when the world had been one, when there was a Golden Age, and if we follow this idea, sooner or later we come to the idea of Atlantis. It has always represented a time, a place where all human culture was united.
