Tion, Uqbar, and Orbis Tertius is a story about a self envisioned land. Jorge Borges has a niche with playing God or tyring to spin off God's power in some way. This is Jorge Borges himself using his power as an author to simulate God writing the earth. In this case however Jorge Borge creates his own mystical land. This mystical world is called Tion. The planet which Jorge creates is called Orbis Tertius and the country is Uqbar. The universe however was hidden beneath copies of Encyclopedia Britannica only known about by a couple of historians. This is like a story relating to God and the apostles. The encyclopedia's are like the bible, and its secrets because only he followers believe it. I think anyone who really wants to find this universe will find it, just like anyone who is looking for their faith will find it. This story is really interesting to compare with Christianity and all of its correlations.
