Does anyone know the legend of Atlantis?

Atlantis, a legendary highly civilized country, an empire that disappeared without a trace overnight. For thousands of years, people have been looking for its existence in doubt.

In 2004, American archaeologists discovered a huge underwater structure in the Middle East, which immediately caused a sensation in the archaeological community.

Wonderful country

Plato wrote in his book that about 10000 years ago, there was an island in the Atlantic Ocean, which was bigger than North Africa and Asia Minor combined and had a population of more than 20 million. This is Atlantis with a high degree of civilization.

Legend has it that Poseidon founded the kingdom of Atlantis. Poseidon divided the island into 10 districts, which were ruled by 10 sons respectively, and the eldest son was the supreme ruler. Because the eldest son is named Atlantis, this country is called Atlantis Empire, and some people call it Daxi Island or Daxi Island. Atlantis covers an area of 400,000 square kilometers, with mountains in the north and vast plains in the south.

The most beautiful building in Atlantis is the imperial palace in the capital, where there are statues decorated with gold. There are three artificial canals around the palace, and you can enter the temples in the palace through the canals. The interior of the temple is all decorated with gold, silver, copper and ivory, dedicated to Poseidon, the sea god.

According to Plato's description, after the completion of the palace, every successor will carry out large-scale construction and transformation of the palace until the splendor and exquisiteness of the palace reach a staggering level. In addition, there is a huge sacrificial altar.

Plato said that the Atlanteans had unimaginable wealth. At first, they were simple, kind, intelligent and carefree. But over time, they began to send troops to conquer neighboring countries, and their lives became corrupt and morally bankrupt. Their actions angered the gods. Zeus, the king of the gods, caused an earthquake and flood on Daxi Island overnight, and Atlantis disappeared into the sea from then on.

Immortal legend

In fact, the story of Atlantis has existed for more than 9000 years through word of mouth in Plato's time. Plato firmly believed that Atlantis was true history.

Because Plato was respected in ancient Greece, when he described the Atlantis dynasty, he described the real social life, not the legendary wizard, so people believed his description.

In the19th century, some mysterious prophets told people that Atlantis not only existed, but also had very advanced technology and culture. They patrol the territory in a spaceship with the speed exceeding100km/h, and use a fuel called "Ferrie" to generate thrust, which is a bit like a modern jet engine. These imaginative descriptions add to the mysterious atmosphere of Atlantis.

Historians and archaeologists are not the only ones looking for this lost empire. 193 1 year, the German Nazis organized an unprecedented expedition, and the commander was German SS officer Himmler. He believes that Atlantis not only exists, but also the so-called pure Aryans in Germany are descendants of Atlanteans. He believes that if we find Atlantis, we can rule the world with its supernatural power. However, this expedition yielded nothing.

Pyramid phenomenon

The magical description in Two Wan Li under the Sea aroused the interest of American Connery, who decided to look for the lost Atlantis.

1882, Connery's research achievement Atlantis was published. He firmly believed that Atlantis did exist and put forward the pyramid phenomenon. In Africa, the Egyptians built the pyramids between 2700 and 2500 BC. In Mexico, the Mayans built the pyramids around 1500 BC. In Angkor Wat in Cambodia, Asia, pyramid-shaped buildings built in the early 2nd century A.D./KLOC-0 were also found. Although the construction time is thousands of years apart, the styles are strikingly similar.

Connery pointed out that Plato mentioned that Atlantis had many tall and pointed pyramids. Connery believed that all the pyramids in the world originated in Atlantis.

What is even more surprising is that these buildings correspond to constellations: Angkor Wat corresponds to the dragon constellation; The Egyptian sphinx corresponds to the lion constellation; The pyramids are equivalent to Orion. This way of corresponding to astronomical phenomena shows that they were all built according to the star arrangement pattern of 10500 BC.

Connery speculated that there was a period of civilization development on the earth in 10500 BC, which was the most glorious period of Atlantis. Egyptian civilization, Mayan civilization and Angkor Wat are just the memories of the ancestors of Atlantis descendants scattered everywhere.

Looking for Daxizhou

A professor at the University of Chicago believes that Atlantis is probably in Tiwanaku, South America. Tiwanaku is located on the great plains between the Andes, covering an area of 60,000 square kilometers. The palaces, temples and gardens excavated by archaeologists here show that Tiwanaku people have exquisite architectural skills. Moreover, the palaces and temples in Tiwanaku are also decorated with gold.

Archaeologists suggest that Tiwanaku didn't develop into a powerful empire until hundreds of years after Plato's death, so it can't be Atlantis.

Swedish geographer Ellison thinks Atlantis is an Irish island. The terrain of Atlantis described by Plato is strikingly similar to that of Ireland. But careful people find that Ireland's geographical location is not the same as Plato's description of Atlantis.

Some people think that the name of Atlantis hides its true position, because in English, Atlantis sounds similar to the Atlantic Ocean, while Atlas refers to the Greek god, and his name is often used to represent the land of the West. Plato seems to be telling people that Atlantis is in the Atlantic Ocean.

Disasters thousands of years ago

A story like Atlantis is a myth from Greece.

In 700 BC, Homer, a famous Greek poet, described the famous Battle of Troy in his epics Iliad and Odessa. Is the legend of Trojan killing horses a historical fact or a legend? People have been arguing endlessly.

65438+In 1960s, German amateur archaeologist Schleimann spent more than ten years excavating a city under the Turkish city of Salik. Archaeologists believe that this city is probably Troy.

Schlingmann made myths and legends come true, and this discovery also inspired archaeologists and scientists to look for Atlantis.

Scylla is a small island in the Aegean Sea. More than 3000 years ago, the island was destroyed by a devastating volcanic eruption, which was equivalent to 150 atomic bombs exploding on the island at the same time.

The volcanic eruption made the surrounding continents feel strong shock waves, and thick volcanic ash spread all over the Middle East. Volcanic ash also reached China. According to historical records, in the twenty-ninth year of Qin Dynasty, the sun was dim, the summer was frozen, the buildings and temples were destroyed by frost in June, and there was no harvest in the fields.

1967, archaeologists discovered an underground city on the island of Scylla, and the excavation showed that the residents at that time belonged to the great Minoan civilization. Minos is similar to Atlantis. Both of them lived a luxurious life, and the excavated cultural relics were almost exactly the same as those described by Plato. However, Atlantis described by Plato was destroyed by earthquake and flood in 9000 BC, but MINO was buried by volcanic ash from 900 BC to 1000 BC. The experts had a heated debate. Some experts believe that people who record history may mistake 900 years for 9000 years.

However, experts later discovered that the center of the great Minoan civilization was in Crete, 50 kilometers away, and Crete was never affected by volcanic eruption. Obviously, Scylla is not Atlantis.

Some archaeologists believe that Atlantis is located in the Azores Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, but people have not found any traces of civilization here.

The remains of the flood

Researchers have collected more than 600 myths from all over the world, all of which tell the story of the global flood that destroyed highly developed civilizations. Archaeologists believe that this is a true description of the last ice age, and these myths also mention that survivors fled to new land by boat.

Professor mihir, an American underwater archaeologist, found that when Atlantis sank in about 10000 BC, the population of America increased sharply, which was probably the result of Atlanteans coming here. If this myth is true, then the remains of Atlantis should be somewhere under the sea.

1968, American pilots found strange shapes at the bottom of the Bahamas bay. After investigation, the archaeologist Dr. Fan Wentan determined that these submerged structure were stone slabs paved with stones.

Six years later, after research, Dr. David Jingke found that the stones on the seabed were T-shaped, just like an artificial port. After sampling and analysis, the stone is not naturally formed. At the same time, handicrafts that cannot be traced back to ancient culture were unearthed at the bottom of the sea. These cultural relics have sunk for at least 6000 years. They concluded that this might be a port in Atlantis.

The miracle of the sea floor

1979, American and French scientists discovered a pyramid-like building at the bottom of Bermuda. The side of the tower is 300 meters long and about 200 meters high. The top of the tower is only 100 meters away from the ocean, which is much larger than the Egyptian pyramids. There are two huge caves in the lower part of the tower, and the seawater flows out from the bottom of the cave at an amazing speed. People don't know who built the pyramid or when it sank.

From June 2004 to October 2004 10, American archaeologist Robert Sarmas discovered about 3,000 meters of walls and trenches in the waters near Cyprus and Syria. Sarmas thinks that this submerged city is about 10000 years old, and it is probably the legendary Atlantis.

It is not yet certain that this submerged structure is Atlantis. But archaeologists have found the ruins of pyramid buildings all over the world, which shows that pyramid civilization probably originated from Atlantis, which was once the center of civilization. After the sudden disaster and sinking, people brought this kind of architecture and civilization to all parts of the world.
