A comprehensive introduction of Atlantis, what are the uses of several pillars of Atlantis?

Legend has it that Poseidon founded the kingdom of Atlantis. On an island, a girl's parents died. Poseidon married the girl and gave birth to five pairs of twins. So Poseidon divided the whole island into ten districts, ruled by ten sons, and the eldest son was the supreme ruler. Because the eldest son is called Atlas and the country is called Atlantis. Atlantis

In the acropolis in the center of the mainland, there are temples dedicated to Poseidon and his wife, and there are also temples dedicated to Poseidon. The interior of this temple is decorated with gold, silver, copper and ivory. There are shipyards on the coast of Atlantis, and the docks are crowded with three-oared warships. The dock is full of merchant ships and businessmen from all over the world. The kingdom of Atlantis is very rich and powerful. In addition to the island's rich products, tributes from Egypt, Syria and other Mediterranean countries are also constantly flowing. These ten kings have absolute power in their own territory and adopt different national organizations. In order to keep communication with each other, they gather in temple of poseidon every five to six years to discuss their relationship and their ruling power. When the agreement was established, they cut the throats of the bulls fed in temple of poseidon and wrote resolutions on the pillars of temple of poseidon with their blood to increase the sanctity of the resolutions. All ten kings are wise, and the country is rich and strong. Unfortunately, corruption soon began to appear in these countries. Zeus, the head of the gods, punished people's depravity, causing earthquakes and floods, and the kingdom of Atlantis sank to the bottom of the sea day and night.

Edit this passage in Plato's book

In the description of the Greek philosopher Plato, Atlantis is a beautiful and technologically advanced island, and its history can be traced back to 370 BC. In his book, he wrote: Atlantis not only has gorgeous palaces and temples, but also has huge sacred places for sacrifice. Plato said in his description that the Atlanteans had unimaginable wealth. Atlantis was honest and kind at first, with extraordinary wisdom and carefree life. However, with the passage of time, Atlanteans' ambitions began to swell, and they began to send troops to conquer neighboring countries. Their lives became more and more corrupt, and their endless extravagance and moral decay finally angered the gods. As a result, Poseidon brought earthquakes and floods to Daxi Island overnight, and Atlantis was finally swallowed up by the sea and disappeared into the unfathomable sea.

Edit this passage of Plato's Republic

Plato recorded the story of Atlantis told by his cousin Corisias in his book Dialogue. Socrates' disciple Corisias emphasized the authenticity of Atlantis three times in his dialogue. Corisias said that his great-grandfather heard this story from the Greek poet Solon (about 639-559 BC). Sauron was the wisest of the seven sages of ancient Greece. On a trip to Egypt, Soren heard the theory of Atlantis from an ancient Egyptian priest. The record in the dialogue is as follows: in the Atlantic Ocean far west of the Mediterranean, there is a huge continent with amazing civilization. There are countless gold and silver produced on the mainland, and all the palaces are walled with gold walls and silver walls. The walls of the palace are also inlaid with gold and resplendent. There, the development of civilization is unimaginable. There are well-equipped ports and ships, as well as objects that can carry people. Its influence is not limited to Europe, but also as far away as the African continent. The mural above was found in Tiri, Arquero. The city was buried 3,500 years ago due to the eruption of San Dorigny volcano, and was excavated from volcanic ash in 1967, which seems to describe a fleet going to North Africa for trade. After the earthquake, it sank to the bottom of the sea, and its civilization disappeared in people's memory. Plato mentioned this island two thousand years ago, which made many people yearn for it, but no one could provide strong evidence to prove that Atlantis really existed. Because Atlantis disappeared after a volcanic earthquake and flood, Atlantis sank to the bottom of the sea forever in an instant. According to Plato's account, due to the improvement of civilization and the prosperity of Atlantis, society gradually began to be corrupt, greedy for money and profit. He launched a war to conquer the world. But when they met tenacious Athenian soldiers, they lost the battle. Atlantis betrayed God's favor, which led to the wrath of the gods, thus arousing the power of nature and destroying this evil island. Atlantis is a huge island ruled by Poseidon in Greek mythology. According to Greek mythology, the island was divided into 10, ruled by five pairs of twins of Poseidon. The oldest male "Atlas" became the king of kings as the leader. So this huge island was named Atlantis. Atlantis is located in the Atlantic Ocean outside the "Pillar of haylock" (Strait of Gibraltar), and its area is wider than that of North Africa and Asia Minor combined. Location map of Daxizhou

Its powerful power is not limited to the surrounding Atlantic islands, but also as far away as Europe, Africa and America (the real continent). The coast of Atlantis is steep, but there is a vast and fertile plain in the center. 9 kilometers from the sea is the capital Poseidon. The city is very rich and prosperous, with a royal palace and a grand temple dedicated to the patron saint Poseidon in the center. In addition, there is a three-story circular canal around Poseidon. The outermost canal is 500 meters wide and can be used by large ships. These canals are connected with the high seas by land and water, and the width is 100 meters. The temple is decorated with gold, silver, ivory or a metal called "Ou Li Hakan" and shines like a flame. All the buildings on the island are made of white, black and red stones excavated locally, which are beautiful and spectacular. Outside the ring city is a vast plain, surrounded by ditches, with a depth of 30m, a width of180m and a total length of1800km. The canals inside crisscross every18km, just like a chessboard. People use this water to grow grains and vegetables, and use canals to transport products to consumption areas. There are three ports where the waterway meets the sea. There are many residents living densely near the port, and ships and businessmen from all over the world come and go between the three huge ports in an endless stream, so the port area is noisy day and night. The plain is divided into 90,000 areas, and each area has a commander. The commander is responsible for dispatching one-sixth of the cost of a chariot, two horses, two cavalry, 1 light chariot, one infantry and one coachman. In addition, it can send 12 fighters and 4 sailors. If these forces are added together, Atlantis will have a powerful fighting capacity of1.2000 troops at any time. Atlantis finally crossed the strait of Gibraltar and began to invade other countries with its strong national strength. It was the Athenians who bravely resisted the attack of Atlantis. After fierce fighting, the Athenians finally repelled the Atlantis army, ensuring the independence of the country and the freedom of the people. But the unknown tragic fate happened immediately. Due to the terrible earthquake and flood at that time, Athens' army fell into the ground in only one "tragic day and night", and Atlantis also fell into the sea and disappeared from the earth forever. This happened before 12000. This is the panoramic view of Atlantis depicted by the Greek philosopher Plato in Demos and gladys. This is the story Plato told Thoreau, one of the Greek sages, from the mouth of Egyptian priests, and wrote it into his own book to introduce it to the world.

Edit this legend of Poseidon.

Nothing can arouse people's fantasies for as long as the mystery of Atlantis. Since the Greek philosopher Plato first introduced this continent to the outside world, mankind has been fascinated by this mysterious continent. Plato described the whole picture of Atlantis in Demos and gladys. Plato wrote a story about what Thoreau, one of the Greek sages, heard from Egyptian priests and introduced it to the world. In this story, Plato said that Atlantis was the vast island of Poseidon in Greek mythology. The island is divided into 10 and ruled by five pairs of twins in Poseidon. And the eldest son Atlantis, of course, became the leader of the king of kings. And this island is also called Atlantis after the first king Atlantis. Atlantis Island is located outside the "Pillar of Hercules" (Strait of Gibraltar), that is, around the center of the Atlantic Ocean, which means "real sea", and its area is wider than that of North Africa and Asia Minor combined. As for its powerful power, it is not limited to the surrounding Atlantic islands, but as far away as Europe, Africa and America. Atlantis has maintained prosperity under its unique system, and the people living here are also gentle and wise. They will not indulge in great wealth, and they will respect morality in everything. However, with the passage of time and the replacement of generations, these lofty ideas have become increasingly weak. Finally, one day, the army crossed the Strait of Gibraltar and began to invade other countries. It was the ancient Athenians who bravely resisted the attack of Atlantis. After fierce fighting, the Athenians repelled the Atlantis army and defended their freedom. But the unknown tragic fate happened immediately. Because of the terrible earthquake and flood at that time, Athens' army sank underground in only one "tragic day and night", and Atlantis also sank to the bottom of the sea and disappeared from the ground. This happened before 12000. After Plato wrote this account, Atlantis, the ideal capital, became a place that everyone yearned for. Especially after Columbus discovered America, it deepened the credibility of Plato's narrative. Because there is really a "true continent" across the "true sea". Many explorers who explored the American continent thought they saw Atlantis there. Plato's prediction of Atlantis is very consistent with edgar cayce's prediction in some details, but there are also differences. Especially about the destruction of Atlantis, there are obvious differences. Plato believed that the destruction of Atlantis occurred in "a miserable day and night"; Casey, on the other hand, believes that the destruction of Atlantis was caused by three major changes (from 50000 BC to 10000 BC). First, the first change took place in 50000 BC. Although a part of the continent was lost, it continued the prosperity and civilization of Atlantis. Then came the second mutation in BC 15650. At this time, the mainland was divided into several huge islands, and people fled their homes. BC 10000, the last mutation happened. Atlantis, famous for its super-civilization, finally failed to withstand such drastic changes and disappeared. However, the immigrants after the first and second cataclysms and the Atlanteans who escaped the last cataclysm are widely distributed all over the world. The legacy of Atlantis super civilization crossed the high seas and promoted the prosperity of Egyptian civilization and Mayan civilization.

Edit this debate about the geographical position of western powers.

The first problem encountered by serious researchers who are determined to explore the mysteries of the western countries is related to the geographical location of the western countries. So far, the most regional disputes are as follows. Crete says Atlantis is in Crete. Because the British archaeologist Evans found a large-scale relic in Crete before World War II, and in addition, a crater depicting the present inland sea was found on a circular island in the north "Scylla", which used to be a map of the island's location.

Evidence, so some people suspect that Sheila Island is the origin of Atlantis legend, because according to textual research, in the15th century BC (900 years before Plato's time), the San Dorigny volcano on Sheila Island erupted, which led to the destruction of civilized cities built on the crater and triggered a tsunami. This volcanic eruption dealt a great blow to Mycenae civilization, which originally relied on trade. Supporters believe that Plato (or his cousin Corinti Ann or Soren, the Greek who heard the story for the first time) got the wrong number, so the whole number was exaggerated more than ten times. 900 became 9000, and 40,000 square miles became 400,000 square miles, which became such a legend. Antarctic says that the person who supports this theory is the archaeologist and writer Graham? Hancock and lance? Floria is the representative. The theory is that Atlantis should be on the Antarctic Peninsula, and the destruction of Atlantis is explained by the theory of "crustal sliding". It is believed that Atlantis not only suffered from volcanoes and other disasters, but also suffered from severe cold, which led Atlantis to abandon its hometown and the Antarctic Peninsula was subsequently covered with thick ice. Ireland said that Ulf Elinson, a Swedish geographer, thought that the island of Ireland was the continent of Atlantis in his book Atlantis in the eyes of geographers: A Land of Wonderland published in 2004. The main argument comes from Plato's description. The size and landforms of the island countries are very similar to those of Ireland, and they all have the culture of megalithic tombs. The legend of the sinking of Atlantis may come from 6 100 BC. The end of the ice age caused the sea level to rise and flooded many coastal islands. Long-term misinformation exaggerated that the island was in a devastating disaster. Scientific evidence first put forward the theory that Azores and Canary Islands are the remains of western powers. It's a priest named Atanas Kocher. That was at 1665. The priest's point of view is correct, and his point of view is confirmed by discoveries in the following centuries. 1898 In the summer, a ship laid a cable between Brest and Cape Cod. Suddenly, the submarine cable broke, and the workers on board immediately put into intense emergency repair work. The accident site is 47 north latitude, 29 40' west of Paris, 900 kilometers in front of Azores, and the water depth here is 3 100 meters. When salvaging, people were surprised to find that the seabed has the characteristics of land mountains. There is no silt on its surface except the bottom of the valley, and the top of the rock is sharp. The film crew brought back a rock, and this piece of "Xuanwu glass" has been kept in the mine. "Xuanwu glass" has aroused great interest from a French geologist. The scholar is Pierre Telmir. This basalt never hardens in water, but it hardens when it is brought to shore in the air. Therefore, Temir concluded that the stones collected from the deep water of 365,438+000 meters have been subjected to atmospheric pressure, because this place was once exposed to water like the surrounding areas; Obviously, the recent crustal upheaval ("not long ago here" should be understood from a geological point of view) caused the subsidence of 3000 meters here; There is a piece of land between Europe and America, which disappeared in the drastic geological changes.

Edit this piece of evidence about Antarctica.

Enlightenment of ancient Antarctic map

An ancient map of Antarctica broke the dreary deadlock. At the beginning of last century, a strange map of the ancient world was found in the library of Alexandria in Constantinople, Turkey. This antique clearly shows the position and outline of the whole America and Antarctica, with the caption: "It was drawn in14th century with reference to the original ancient map." As we know, it was not until 1492 that Columbus discovered the new continent that people knew the existence of America, and Americans knew the existence of Eurasia and Africa. /kloc-the map of the world copied from the ancients in the 0/4th century actually painted the whole picture of the world's continents and oceans. At that time, mankind had not invented the precise compass positioning device, could not sail far, and did not even know that the earth was round! There is no doubt that the map was originally drawn by a prehistoric man, but we rediscovered it in the fourteenth century and drew this world map on this basis. In a rigorous investigation, scholars found a doubt: on this ancient map, the outline of Antarctica is very different from that of the current Antarctic continent, while the shape of the American continent is almost exactly the same as that of the present America. Why did people at that time draw America accurately, but not Antarctica? It was not until the emergence of satellite remote sensing technology that the Antarctic continent under the ice was photographed that this mystery was completely solved. When the researchers of the ancient map compared the Antarctic on the Byrd ancient map with the pattern of the Antarctic continent under the glacier drawn by the satellite, they found that they were surprisingly consistent! In other words: there is no ice and snow in Antarctica painted by prehistoric people! Doesn't this tell us that the Antarctic continent was a warm land at that time? ! As we all know, Antarctica was a warm and humid continent millions of years ago. Because the Antarctic is rich in coal resources, it shows that dense forests grew there millions of years ago; This is further confirmed by paleoterrestrial plant fossils also found on the edge of Antarctica. However, scientists never imagined that this warm climate would last so close now! Since Antarctica in prehistoric times is a vibrant world, there must be people living there. Although we don't know the development degree of human civilization at that time, at least they have been able to draw the world navigation map accurately. So some scholars boldly put forward-is Antarctica the legendary Atlantis? Atlantis did not sink into the Atlantic Ocean, but was sealed under a mile-thick iceberg by a sudden cold climate. The ancients could not understand this great change at that time, so they mistakenly thought that Atlantis had fallen into the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean? However, this statement has not attracted much attention. Because the Antarctic continent is on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, it is too different from the legendary Atlantis, and at that time, people really couldn't figure out what caused the Antarctic continent to cool down sharply, so that a developed "Antarctic civilization" disappeared without leaving a trace! Coupled with the thick glaciers covering the records of geological changes, the idea that Antarctica is Atlantis was put forward and soon ran aground.

Enlightenment from Arctic tundra

The huge Antarctic glaciers make it impossible for scholars to explore the changes in Antarctica. On the other side of the earth, the North Pole, there is conclusive evidence of ancient global climate change. /kloc-At the beginning of the 9th century, a large number of frozen and complete large mammal remains were found in the permafrost regions of Siberia near the Arctic Circle and Novosibirsk Peninsula across the Arctic Circle, and the closer to the Arctic Circle, the more. Mammoths are mainly mixed with giants such as rhinoceros and hippopotamus. These big guys are temperate species. Why did they get together and go to the North Pole to "commit suicide"? When analyzing the food in the stomach, scholars found that there were temperate herbs that had not been digested before, which were quite well preserved and could be seen at a glance. This tells us an amazing fact: it took only a short time from their last meal in the temperate zone to the collective freezing in the Arctic! Otherwise the food in the stomach will be digested beyond recognition. Moreover, they experienced a process of "quick freezing and fresh keeping" in those years, otherwise the body and food in the belly of the behemoth would not be well preserved today! Obviously, there has been a catastrophe of climate change here, from warm temperate climate to extremely cold polar climate. We know that the heat of the earth's atmosphere is relatively balanced, and there is no simple local climate change, which is bound to be a microcosm of global climate change. When the researchers learned that the Antarctic continent on the other side of the earth is also warm and humid, they further affirmed the above judgment. Responding to the Antarctic climate change is the global climate change that has nothing to do with geological movement. Did the sudden cold turn the Arctic into today's tundra? Or did the northernmost part of Eurasia, originally located in the north temperate zone, slide nearly 2000 miles to the North Pole in a "geological change" and be frozen in today's position? In either case, the results show that the global climate has changed! The South Pole corresponding to the North Pole will also change accordingly. In a short time, the warm Antarctica was frozen into a dead world. This great change happened 1. 1 ten thousand years ago. The answer was given after people identified the frozen animals in the Arctic.

"Crustal Slip" Hypothesis

In the face of the ancient catastrophe in the Arctic, all geological theories at that time were powerless. Just when everyone was at a loss, geologist Hapgood put forward a bold hypothesis: the rock crust of the earth floats on the mantle magma, and under certain conditions, it can slide at a large angle as a whole. Just like some oranges, the peel can rotate relatively. The driving force of this sliding is the centrifugal force produced by the glaciers in the north and south poles with the rotation of the earth. This asymmetry of centrifugal force increases with the accumulation of ice and snow for a long time, and to a certain extent, it can cause the lithosphere to slide at a large angle on the mantle magma until it reaches a new balance. Therefore, it will inevitably cause great changes in the global climate. The original poles moved out of the South Arctic Circle, and the glaciers completely disintegrated and melted, absorbing a lot of atmospheric heat energy, which led to global cooling, rising sea level and flooding of offshore lowlands. And the corresponding temperate part moved into the north and south poles, the temperature plummeted, and the whole land was frozen; At the same time, some equatorial regions have entered the temperate zone, and the corresponding temperate zone has entered the tropics ... there are earthquakes, tsunamis and so on, which is simply chilling. After this hypothesis was put forward, the academic community was speechless. No one stood up against it, because the facts were there and there was no reasonable explanation; No one took the lead in agreeing, because this theory is too unusual and beyond people's common sense, and it has reached the agreement between science and historical legends here! At this time, physicist Einstein broke the deadlock. He wrote a letter to Professor Hapgood praising his creativity. Moreover, the rigorous physicist clearly stated his point of view: "I think you are right."

Antarctica is Atlantis?

Hapgood's hypothesis revived the idea that Antarctica might be Atlantis. According to this theory, after careful calculation, some scholars described the thrilling global geological disaster 1. 1 10,000 years ago: in the long years, the iceberg with asymmetric poles grew bigger and bigger, and its unbalanced centrifugal force finally pulled the crust on the magma, throwing the poles out of the South Arctic Circle 1. 1 10,000 years ago. Siberia and the Novosibirsk Peninsula, the northernmost part of the Eurasian continental plate, rushed to the North Pole from the warm north temperate zone, glided nearly 2,000 miles in a few hours, and turned nearly 30 degrees relative to the center of the earth, reaching today's position. The temperature suddenly dropped by at least 60! Mammoths, rhinoceroses and other giants on the temperate plains quickly froze to death in the cold of MINUS 40 degrees. Because only by quick freezing at such a low temperature can the body of the behemoth be completely preserved. On the other side of the earth, the Antarctic continent Atlantis, which was originally located in the southern hemisphere, was suddenly pushed into the Antarctic circle. Because the Antarctic is colder than the Arctic, a developed human civilization froze to death, and then ice and snow fell on her to form the Antarctic glacier today. The icebergs at the original poles melted rapidly after being pushed into the temperate zone, which led to global cooling and sudden rise of sea level. Offshore land was flooded and local floods occurred; Due to the overall rotation of continental plate and ocean plate, magma agitation and dislocation between plates are caused, and global tsunami, local volcanic eruption and earthquake are inevitable. In this earth catastrophe, the human civilization at that time was destroyed. Those who survived never heard from Atlantis again. The rising sea swallowed up a large area of land at that time, so people mistakenly thought that Atlantis was destroyed in the Atlantic Ocean. 1. 1, 000 years ago, circumstantial evidence of the sliding of major plates can also be found in Chinese mainland: the abundant elephant fossils in the Central Plains. For example, the well-known "Yellow River Elephant" and the recently discovered "Elephant Group Fossil" in Chengdu. Those elephants are all subtropical species, indicating that those areas were originally located in the subtropical zone, and as the Eurasian continental plate rushed to the North Pole, it also broke into the north temperate zone from the subtropical zone. Elephants can't adapt to the new climate conditions, or die or migrate back to the subtropical zone, so they soon disappear in the Central Plains. Inspired by these consistent "global evidences", some scholars clearly put forward that "Antarctica in those days was Atlantis".
