Is the mysterious underwater structure under the Atlantic Ocean the sunken famous Atlantis?

As early as 65438+70s, Verne's science fiction novel Two Wan Li under the Sea became popular all over the world. In this novel, explorers in submarines discovered the ruins of Atlantis. This magical description in the book aroused American Connery's great interest, which made him determine his future life goal-to find the lost Atlantis.

1882, Connery's new book Atlantis was published, which is the result of Connery's research on Atlantis for more than ten years.

Connery believed that Atlantis really existed. In his book, he analyzed in detail the situation after the sinking of Atlantis. He believes that the refugees who escaped from Atlantis are gradually scattered around the world. They have created many indigenous civilizations, and these civilizations have amazing similarities, that is, the pyramid phenomenon.

Although the Egyptian pyramids, the Mayan pyramids and similar pyramids in Angkor Wat in Cambodia were all built thousands of years ago, their architectural styles are strikingly similar.

Connery pointed out that Plato mentioned in his dialogue that there were many tall and pointed buildings in Atlantis. So Connery thinks that the pyramids all over the world originated in Atlantis.

However, some historical geographers do not agree with Connery's "pyramid inheritance theory". They believe that the above-mentioned landform features are similar to architectural styles, which can only be coincidental and unconvincing. Moreover, the key question is where to find the lost Atlantis. Only by finding Atlantis can we uncover all the truth.

To this end, a professor at the University of Chicago in the United States put forward his own views. He thinks that Atlantis described by Plato is probably in Tiwanaku, under the Andes in South America.

Tiwanaku is located on the vast plain between the Andes, where archaeologists have excavated palaces, temples and urban gardens. Tiwanaku people have exquisite architectural skills and are the most amazing buildings built by Tiwanaku. The surface here looks like a hill, but excavation shows that there is a stepped pyramid building underground.

Archaeologists speculate that this may be the tomb of a member of the royal family. Plato said that the palaces in Atlantis are decorated with gold everywhere, and the palaces and temples in Tiwanaku are also decorated with gold. Almost all traces of gold decoration can be seen on the surface of the building.

But for this view, some archaeologists have suggested that Tiwanaku developed into a powerful empire hundreds of years after Plato's death, and Plato could not regard Tiwanaku as Atlantis.

Swedish geographer Ellison put forward a new point of view. He thinks Atlantis is the island of Ireland. He thinks that the territory, mountains and plains of Atlantis described by Plato are strikingly similar to those of Ireland today.

But careful people find that the geographical location of Ireland is not the same as Atlantis described in Plato's book.

Someone tried to find the answer from Plato's dialogues. In the name of Atlantis, it seems to hide its true geographical location, because in English pronunciation, Atlantis and Atlantic are similar, and the two words come from the same root. Plato seems to tell people that Atlantis is in the Atlantic Ocean.

Others think that Atlantis is just a myth handed down from generation to generation.

A story like Atlantis is a myth from Greece. In 700 BC, Homer, a famous Greek poet, described the story of the destruction of Troy in two epics, Iliad and Odessa. The ancient Greeks thought Homer's book was a true story, but scholars of all ages also thought it was just a literary masterpiece full of fantasy.

65438+In 1960s, German amateur archaeologist Sleeman believed that the Trojan mentioned by Homer did exist, and concluded that the Trojan was located in Salik.

Ten years later, he began to organize excavations. 1873 Summer excavation reached its climax. On this day, Sleeman unearthed a large number of gold and silver jewelry, and later he put the most beautiful crown on his wife's head. Archaeologists think that the city he excavated is probably Troy, and Sleeman is famous for its discovery.

Slimman's success made myths and legends come true, and also inspired archaeologists and scientists to find another legendary place-DD Atlantis.

Where the hell is Atlantis?

Archaeologists from all over the world have put forward more than 40 suspected sites of Atlantis according to their own investigation results. Among them, there are three places that are recognized as more likely: one is the island of Scylla in the Mediterranean; The second is the Azores in the Atlantic Ocean; The third is the Bahamas.

Scylla is a small island in the Aegean Sea, but it was linked to Atlantis by a disaster thousands of years ago.

More than 3000 years ago, the island was destroyed by a devastating volcanic eruption. Could Atlantis have disappeared overnight?

However, MINO, a city on the island of Silla, was buried by volcanic ash from 900 BC to 1000 BC. For a long time, experts have had a heated debate about whether Atlantis was destroyed in 9000 or 900. Some experts think that it is wrong for Silas' story to spread from Egypt to Greece. Someone wrote 9000 as 9000 by mistake. Many people think that Silas is Atlantis, and Plato has many.

Although some experts believe that Atlantis is located in the middle of the Mediterranean, after textual research, no part of the Mediterranean completely conforms to Plato's description. Plato said that in the Atlantic Ocean, beyond the pillar of Poseidon is Atlantis.

Some archaeologists believe that according to Plato's book, Atlantis is located in the Azores Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, just outside the Strait of Gibraltar.

But Plato's Atlantis is a highly civilized society, and the Azores are uninhabited islands, and no traces of civilization have been found. Archaeologists concluded that the Azores were not Atlantis.

An ancient fairy tale led archaeologists to find clues.

Researchers have collected more than 600 myths from all over the world. These myths are all about a global flood in ancient times, which destroyed highly developed civilizations.

Archaeologists believe that the legend of the great flood is a true description of the last ice age. These myths also mention that the surviving people fled the flood by boat and settled in new land.

Are these fairy tales a true description of the end of Atlantis? If such an underwater Wen Mingzhen exists, its remains should be somewhere under the sea.

1968, when two American pilots were flying over the Bahamas in Mexico, they found some strange shapes on the bottom of the Bahamas Bay. They wrote a report on what they saw and gave it to the archaeologist Dr. Fan Wentan, who became interested in the report and immediately launched an in-depth investigation.

After investigation, Dr. Fan Wentan and his archaeological team found that these buildings on the seabed are stone roads paved with different rectangular and polygonal stones. Judging from the smoothness of the seabed stones, these stones have been submerged on the seabed for quite a long time.

Six years later, another Atlantis researcher, Dr. David Kink, discovered that these submarine stones were T-shaped, just like an artificial port.

The most surprising thing is that at the same time, some handicrafts that cannot be traced back in ancient culture have been unearthed. Archaeologists speculate that these cultural relics are at least 6 thousand years old.

However, the underwater boulder found in the Bahamas is not the only underwater man-made relic. Since the 1960s, people have discovered wonders that have caused a sensation in the world in Bermuda in the western Atlantic Ocean and near the Florida Peninsula.

From June 2004 to October 2004 10, American archaeologist Robert Sarmas and his research team found strong evidence of the existence of Atlantis, and they found underwater artificial buildings in the waters near Cyprus and Syria. It is a wall about 3000 meters long, and there are trenches not far from the wall. Sarmas thinks this is a submerged city, and it is probably the legendary Atlantis.

Now we can't conclude that this underwater structure discovered by Sarmas is Atlantis. If these man-made buildings really come from Atlantis, then the history of human civilization is thousands of years earlier than we thought.
