Atlantis has been a great mystery of human civilization for thousands of years. This legendary lost city has inspired great interest and infinite reverie in future generations. Therefore, people have never stopped exploring the legendary city of Atlantis. As recently as November 2003, American archaeologist Robert Salmas claimed to have discovered traces of Atlantis in the waters off what is now Cyprus and Syria. Salmas and his team of scientific researchers found strong evidence of Atlantis' existence after a persistent search.
They discovered the underwater artificial structure, a man-made structure located off the coast of Cyprus, 80 kilometers southeast and about 1,500 meters underwater, in the waters off Cyprus and Syria. A sonic locator probe revealed a section of wall about 3,000 meters long on a submerged mound, as well as a walled summit and deep trenches. This astonishing discovery greatly encouraged Salmas, who was convinced that Cyprus was the top of the city of Atlantis, although the bricks and concrete alone did not provide sufficient proof that a city was buried beneath it. Beneath the seawater deposits there must be many man-made structures buried. Now Salmas and his team of scientists are still working around the clock to find traces of the myth and the great lost civilization of Atlantis.
Rumors have been circulating around the world about Atlantis, which is said to be a mysterious continent that produced great historical wonders, where people possessed extraordinary wisdom and created a highly developed material and spiritual civilization. There were countless amounts of gold and silver there, and even the walls of the palaces were made of gold bricks and the floors were paved with silver bricks. They had considerable seaports and ships, with technology far superior to that of the nearby city-states, and possessed air transportation. But the continent was destroyed overnight, about 12,000 years ago. Sudden earthquakes and tsunamis caused the entire continent of Atlantis and its cities, temples, highways, canals, and people to sink to the bottom of the sea overnight and disappear into the waves. It is the legendary country of the Great Western - Atlantis, but also the earliest civilization in the history of mankind.
Described in the book of Plato, the famous philosopher of ancient Greece, the Great Western is an island located in the subtropics, larger than the sum of Asia Minor and Libya, his population of about 20 million. The legendary sunken continent of the Great Western is located just outside the Strait of Gibraltar, that is, near the center of the Atlantic Ocean, spanning 30 degrees north latitude and 30 degrees east longitude.
At the heart of the Great Western civilization was the island of Atlantis, whose centerpiece was the main palace and magnificent temple of the patron god Poseidon. Its capital, Poseidonia, was also surrounded by a double ring of land and a triple ring of canals, the outermost of which was 500 meters wide. This is the full picture of the continent of Atlantis as depicted by Plato.
Since Plato's praise, the ideal capital of the Atlantis continent has become the hearts of all people yearning for the sacred paradise, thousands of years, that ancient and mysterious legend of the Great Western countries, like a ghost, in the Mediterranean, the Atlantic Ocean and even the world echoed, attracting thousands of people to find this piece of lost land. Where exactly is this affiliated great country? It has always been a mystery that has haunted the scientific community.
Plato on the story of the Great Western State has a long record, in Plato's early childhood, the learned grandfather once told him the story of the Great Western State of Atlantis. After Plato grew up, in order to verify the authenticity of this story, he made a special trip across the ocean to the ancient civilization - Egypt, visited the respected monks at that time, and got a positive answer. Plato then wrote the story in his writings such as "Crits" and "Beg Mai Teeth".
Plato recorded in 350 B.C. a fascinating legend that about nine thousand years ago at that time, or more than eleven thousand years ago today, beyond the Pillars of Hercules, in the midst of the billowy Western Sea, there was a huge island called Atlantis. The god of the sea gave this island to his eldest son, Daxi, so that he could establish a country, so this piece of land is called "Daxi Island", there are ten countries on the island, of which the largest area, the most populous, the most developed civilization is the country of Daxi, and Daxi country around the sea is called the Atlantic Ocean, where the land is fertile, the climate is mild, the forests are thick, and the forests are inhabited by hordes of people who live in the forests. , and the forests are inhabited by herds of elephants, and in addition to the grains which are the staple food, many exotic flowers and plants grow, and fowls and grazing animals abound.
At the beginning of its existence, the Great Western Kingdom ruled by virtue, making the country more prosperous and flourishing than ever before. It soon became a paradise on earth. The Great Western Kingdom was rich in minerals, had wide roads and canals, trade flourished and the people lived in peace and happiness. Daxi country's many soldiers, valor, they built on the high ground of the holy city - Neptune City, the whole concentric circles drawn into five districts, by the three walls and three canals and the outer sea, the sea transport in all directions, the city using black, white, red stone built, majestic and gorgeous, palaces and temples are more spectacular, the outer walls set with silver, top gold, and ceilings made entirely of ivory, and cold springs and hot springs in a ring of land.
In addition to this, the island has a shipyard, a racecourse, a barracks, a stadium, a park ...... The island is also home to a shipyard, a racecourse, a military barracks, a stadium and a park. Caravans from all over the world come to visit, and the city is bustling with people and the country is very powerful. In the center of the city is a temple of Poseidon, dedicated to the statue of Poseidon made of gold, who rides a golden chariot of six flying horses, with his head touching the roof of the temple, and is very magnificent; around him are more than a hundred sea nymphs riding on dolphins, which is very spectacular. The laws of the city of Neptune were carved on a yellow and red pillar placed in the temple of Neptune as a sign of majesty. As the people became more affluent, human desires expanded unchecked and the sanctity was defiled. Atlanteans became lustful, the king indulged in wine and sex, advocating force and tyranny, abandoning the beauty of the peace that should be, and frequently waging wars of aggression abroad, he sent several large armies, conquering the Mediterranean Sea, Egypt and many parts of Europe. In order to annex Egypt and Greece, King Dacius again led his army to the east, and his rule expanded from Libya to Egypt, and from Egypt to Tyrrhenian, and when he led his army to attack Greece, he met with tenacious resistance, and was later defeated by the Greeks. But King Dacius was not willing to regroup and fight the Greeks again.
It was due to the insatiable greed of the Atlanteans that they were finally punished when they finally attacked Greece, the territory of Zeus, the king of the gods, when overnight a volcano erupted, a tsunami raged, and the earth trembled, and all of a sudden Dacia sank into the depths of the sea.
The story depicted by Plato gave people a great temptation, but also left scientists with the mystery of the ages, many people righteously search for this mysterious excess, but did not find any strong evidence, people began to doubt the existence of the Great Western Kingdom is real? Including Plato's students, the great philosopher Aristotle also believes that the legend of the Great Western Kingdom of Atlantis is likely to be just a fictional story. However, modern archaeology and scientific research have made new discoveries about the Land of the Great Western. What kind of discoveries have been made?
