Which phrase from this excerpt shows the author’s viewpoint of athanasius kircher’s ideas?


O earned him a reputation

O for being an expert on the hieroglyphs

O a reputation that lasted

O unfortunately, long after his death

Respuesta :

Answer:

unfortunately, long after his death

Explanation:

The author didn't think that Athanasius Kircher deserved his reputation. He mentions on another paragraph how far from deciphering the hieroglyphs he was, when he was much further from deciphering them than Horapollo, who was also not entirely correct on his own theories.
