Original copper engraving by Johann Scheuchzer, 1731. Scheuchzer (1672-1733) was a physician by training with a strong interest in natural history and paleontology. He considered the Old Testament a factual account of the earth's history. He hypothesized that all plants had perished in the flood described in the bible, & discovered what he believed to be the fossil of a human flood victim. In his masterpiece, Physica Sacra, he details his theory at length, using references to the 1611 King James Bible.
