Atlantis. The Lost Continent.
Leyenda.El The beginning of the beginning of the legend of Atlantis comes in Critias and Timaeus dialogue held with the philosopher Socrates, a learned history of Solon Critias and Timaeus, which in turn hear from the Egyptian priests. Plato in 340 BC, begins the story by saying: "Long ago, beyond the strait called the Pillars of Hercules (Straits of Gibraltar), was a larger island Asia and Libya together, and since they could access those other islands and the mainland that was in front. This island of Atlantis disappeared in the deep sea at the time of day and night "Plato stated in 9,000 BC the disappearance of the island, which could explain the end of the Ice Age in Europe. The warm Gulf Stream to Not finding the obstacle of the lost continent, he could reach the European continent causing the thawing of the ice. Similarly, if the narrative of Plato was right, meaning charge periodic migration of eagles to the Sargasso Sea, where other time could be the estuary of a great RIO.L Plato idyllic island. Atlantis was said to have that piece of land emerged from the depths of the sea, when the gods divided the world, was part of the wealth of Poseidon, god of the sea, according to Greek mythology. On this island lived Clito, an orphan girl he fell in love God. Moved by the jealousy, Poseidon transformed the hill where the girl was in a tearing strength alternating field and surrounding land and sea areas in three concentric circles. After embellished the inside of the island and gave rise to two sources, a cold water and another of hot water. Union between Poseidon and raised ten children Clito men, the largest called Atlas (giant monster that leads the world on his back) was appointed king by his brothers, ordering it, in turn, the government of part of the island each of them. The ground was rich in minerals and metals including the rare oricalco was a copper alloy similar to brass. Nor scarce firewood, grasses, herbs, flowers and fruits. With such natural wealth at its disposal, the Atlanteans erected magnificent temples and palaces, beautiful and magnificent. Ports built banded sea areas surrounding the capital to connect with the outside palace and excavated a circular channel around inside buildings. Rose hundreds of villages in the hills, while the capital region was in the plain: a flat circle so perfect that it seemed to be made with a lathe. The royal palace stood on the inner island, surrounded it by a wall built with three types of stone from the island: white, red and black. Other buildings of the citadel had been raised with colored stones, creating a special color effect. The royal palace was protected by three walls, the exterior was covered with copper and tin interior, and finally was surrounded by another wall of oricalco fire that gave off visible reflections from the sea. In the center of the citadel could see the temple dedicated to Poseidon Clito and protected by a wall of gold here were carried out sacrifices in honor of King. The roof was of ivory with gold ornaments, silver and oricalco also was of the columns and floor high building. A were around one hundred statues of the Nereids (sea nymphs generally associated with the worship of Poseidon. Daughters of Nereus, the god father of Tethys Sea) on the backs of dolphins, and in the center a giant gold statue of Poseidon on a shell drawn by six winged horses. On the acropolis were many sources of springs whose water came from hot and cold medicinal and healing properties. Some of them were built baths and drive systems to enable water supply throughout the island the center of the citadel was a huge race track and after the acropolis several barracks hosting the bravest soldiers of Atlantis. Each of the kings who had appointed the eldest son of Poseidon and his wife Clito, had power over the citizens of the district had been granted and governed by the ancient laws of Poseidon. Plato concludes his account thus: "This was the enormous power that Zeus had granted the island of Atlantis, and while the divine nature was perpetuated among them, Atlanteans remained faithful to its laws and not let themselves be corrupted by the luxury and power, as they were aware that only grow assets in mutual friendship accompanied by virtue and disappear when the man is too greedy "Possible Locations the Atlántida.Las Canaries, Azores, Madeira and Cape Verde.Durante centuries, even after the English conquest, it was thought that the Azores were the mountain tops of Atlantis. The lakes near and lagoon Cite Sete Das Furnas on the Portuguese island of San Miguel, may be remnants of the lost continent, since the remains of clay found in the lake of the island to 7,300 meters have been thinking about the collapse of part the mainland. Legend of Atlantis are visible only in the Azores, Madeira, Canaries and Cape Verde: What were the tops of the highest mountains in the Lost Continent. But its palaces and temples are submerged in the ocean, which took its name: the Atlantic. Lake Poopo in members Bolivia.Los Scientific Explorer Society, a group of 30 historians, archaeologists and geologists, led by Colonel John Blashford-Snell, Bolivia are currently checking the incredible coincidences between the topography of the surrounding Lake Poopo and the scenes described by Plato. Using maps made by satellites, and compared with studies of the cartographer Jim Allen, who for 17 years examining all documents relating to the Lost Continent, these researchers claim that the Greek philosopher's description perfectly matches the rectangular plateau which today houses the lake. An area still subject to earthquakes and floods, which was covered by an inland sea 15,000 years ago. The geological formations found on land, the presence of surrounding mountains of gold, silver, copper and oricalco, copper and gold alloy which is only in this area and respond to descriptions by Plato <<...palacios de una piedra que brilla como el oro rojo>>, coupled with data the lake bottom contributed by satellites, suggests that they might find there, if not Atlantis, the less important vestiges of pre-Columbian civilizations. The island of Thera (now Santorini). In the 70's with carbon-14 analysis of a trunk found in a volcanic ash, stood the great eruption which destroyed the island of Thera in 1456 BC This date coincides with that offered Greek geologist Angelos Galanopoulos after analyzing passages from the Bible. Galanopoulos this year concluded that a volcanic explosion had affected the entire eastern Mediterranean, and that Plato was wrong in the Atlantis area multiplied by ten figures reflected, because instead of 9,000 as Plato said were 900 as stipulated Angelopoulos. In 1973, geologist Dorothy Vitaliano said that the topography of Atlantis as described by Plato was perfectly suited to that of Thera: A boiler created as the result of a volcanic eruption many centuries ago. This hypothesis was supported by the finding of a fresh mystery that lay beneath the ash, which represents an island inhabited by a rich civilization and crisscrossed by waterways. Another important finding was more conviction to the hypothesis Angelopoulos is the fact that an investigation into the Greenland ice sheet by a group of scientists directed by Gregory Zielinsky University of New Hampshire has resulted, after months of drilling, the finding of a stretch of 3 km. ash remains of 400 other eruptions. These ashes were kept there for 7,000 years, after having wandered through the atmosphere. Analyzing the sulfur content of these ashes was found that some dating from 1,623 BC, indicating that originated on the island of Thera The rash was important consequences, because the violence was such that the lava came to break the volcano the sea penetrated through the cracks transformed into steam and causing it to explode. The outbreak triggered a tsunami and an earthquake and the ashes were kept in the atmosphere in an area of \u200b\u200b200,000 Km2 giving rise to a long period of darkness that was key to the decline of the Minoan civilization. Proponents of the theory of the lost continent in the Atlantic, are opposed to this because the mythical Atlantis reduce the range of small island and place it in the Mediterráneo.Bimimi, the Bahamas.En May 1969, everyone commented on the news the alleged discovery of the remains of Atlantis Bimimi Funds in the Bahamas. Manson Valentine archaeologist had found something that looked like the remains of a street. It was a formation of huge blocks of rock that stood perfectly fitted on the sandy bottom to over several hundreds of meters, resembling a sache (the ceremonial way of the Mayans). Even today, the scientists will agree on the interpretation of these remains. According to some, might be a strange geological formation, for others is a testament to a civilization with advanced technology: Atlantis. Underwater Hills in Little Sole Bank Area.El paleographer Viatcheslav Koudriatsev leading the team of scientists from Moscow Institute metahistory Atlantis situated atop a hill submarine off the coast of Cornwall, known as the Little Sole Bank area. After revisiting the writings of Plato in the light of data the evolution of the earth, Koudriasev hypothesized that 10,000 years ago during the last ice age, ocean levels were lower than at present and there was a wide landmass area (Atlantis) in whose area was currently North Sea and Celtic polar bank. At the end of glaciation, polar banks in North America, Iceland and the north of Eurasia is not degraded slowly but by a phenomenon called Heinrich events, downloaded quickly billion cubic meters of water, causing a sudden and fatal sea level rise , causing the disappearance of Atlantis. The expedition organized by Metahistory Institute in collaboration with the department of oceanography at the Russian Academy of Sciences has recently party with the most advanced technological means to test the hypothesis Koudriavtsev analyzing the seabed Area Little Sole Bank.
