For a number of years, I've tried very hard to figure out where Kircher's engraver found the sources for these drawings. Engravers usually work from previous references (or a synthesis of previous references together with notes and instructions from the author).

Unfortunately, it has been difficult to trace these sources backwards, so after devoting countless hours to it, I don't have much info.

I thought that i had read from you once that they didn't change much of what they were presented with, i took that to mean it was likely mainly Kircher's work. Is this not the case?
