The lost empire, Atlantis civilization

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, Zeus, the king of gods, brought earthquakes and floods to Daxi Island overnight, and Atlantis was finally swallowed up by the sea and disappeared into the unfathomable sea.

Plato's Utopia: Ancient Atlantis

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 main contents of the dialogue record are as follows:

On the Atlantic Ocean to the 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. Atlantis, the oldest male, became the king of kings as an ally. 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. 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.
