What is the temple (shrine) relic mentioned in the American drama Lost?

The mysterious disappearance of the ancient continent, the lost utopia-"Atlantis" is the last piece of land left in the world! !

Evidence 1: the location of Atlantis

Atlantis first appeared in Plato's dialogues. In Plato's description, Atlantis was a huge island at the mouth of the strait of Gibraltar in ancient times. Its existence allowed people at that time to travel to and from other islands through this island. There used to be a strong civilization on the island and fought against the Greeks. After being defeated by Greece, it was destroyed by sudden earthquakes and floods and sank to the bottom of the sea. For Plato's description, it is basically considered that he processed the story of Atlantis in order to express his political views on the basis of the legend about a civilized island country circulated in Greece at that time.

For a long time, folklore tends to describe Atlantis as a lost island in the Atlantic Ocean. In fact, if you look at the geographical location of Athens and the backward navigation technology and information dissemination channels at that time, you can almost conclude that ancient civilizations in the Mediterranean and North Africa are more likely to have contact and influence on Greek civilization. At that time, the Atlantic Ocean was still a place outside the known world. In fact, unlike folklore, archaeologists and geologists who believe in Atlantis tend to think that Atlantis is in the Mediterranean! The Mediterranean was a very restless place in ancient times, and tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions often occurred. There is evidence that some ancient civilizations in the Mediterranean were indeed destroyed by tsunami and volcanic eruption. Therefore, it is reasonable for an ancient civilization to disappear overnight in the Mediterranean.

Evidence 2: Atlantis civilization

As mentioned earlier, there is an ancient civilization on the lost island.

The evidence in the play is as follows: At the end of the first and second seasons, Said, Sun and Jin saw a statue with only four toes and only a calf. Then Ben repeatedly mentioned the "temple" where they could take refuge. Besides, the place where Ben asked Locke to execute his father also looks like a relic of ancient civilization. The latest evidence is that when Ben summoned black smoke, he opened a stone door engraved with hieroglyphs, which was very close to ancient Egyptian civilization.

All these show that there was a civilization on the island a long time ago, and it is likely to be inextricably linked with ancient Egyptian civilization. So, is the legendary Atlantis the same?

Although the legend of Atlantis was first seen in Plato's dialogues, Plato also explained the origin of the legend of Atlantis earlier in the dialogues. He said that Atlantis was first told by Solon, a famous politician and lawmaker in ancient Athens, when he traveled in ancient Egypt. Later, Plato's disciple Kranto went to Egypt to verify the master's statement, and indeed found a stone pillar written in hieroglyphics, which recorded the history of Atlantis, but Plato never mentioned it. Whether this guy's textual research is true or not, these legends of Atlantis originated in ancient Egypt. It can be seen that ancient Egyptian civilization may have a very close relationship with Atlantis. In fact, there is a legend that Atlanteans migrated to the American continent and the African continent after experiencing some kind of disaster, brought their civilization to their colonies, and created Mayan civilization and Egyptian civilization. For example, when Robert Sarmast, an American explorer who claimed to be an expert in mythology and ancient times, discovered Atlantis, he believed that "the pyramid architecture in the world originated in Atlantis, and Atlanteans spread this civilization to the world after the destruction of Atlantis".
