description | The study introduces the traveller Josef Wünsch, a successful explorer of the sources of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. Wünsch travelled in the years 1881–1883 in the eastern part of Turkey, the area historically referred to as Armenia and Kurdistan. He was the first European, who maps the mountain regions of Taurus and the Armenian Highlands in detail. He created a memory of space in two ways. First, he incorporated the area into the system of European knowledge—the white spot on the world map was filled with a detailed description of mountains, streams, settlements and roads. Second, his texts preserved the cultural image of the place, which is all the more valuable because it was destroyed very soon after his expedition. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Armenian genocide took place in the region. |
