How did the ancient city of Touluma appear at the bottom of the sea?

With the development of diving and salvage technology, underwater archaeology came into being. Since then, in the quiet underwater world, people have discovered many ancient cities that disappeared without a trace in the world. A group of underwater photographers discovered a legendary ancient Mayan city, Touluma, at the bottom of Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. In local legends, it is an "impregnable castle". Some scholars once thought that this had something to do with "El? Like the legends of dorado and Huang Jinguo, this is sheer nonsense. However, Touluma is mentioned in a medieval Spanish chronicle. According to historical records, cruel Spanish invaders once occupied and looted this rich city on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Mexican experts believe that the ancient city of Touluma sank to the bottom of the sea due to a huge landslide. Underwater archaeologists have found well-preserved city walls, palaces in the city center and the remains of some houses under the sea. They also found that on the walls of some temple buildings, colorful murals and typical Mayan decorative patterns are still intact.

Carved stone pillars and huge buildings were found 2000 meters underwater off the coast of Peru. Since 1968, huge stone buildings, such as streets, docks, collapsed city walls and doorways, have been found in the ocean near Bimini Island ... Surprisingly, their appearance is very similar to the prehistoric relics of Peru, such as Si Tong Henderson Stone Column and Tilint Stone Wall. Although it is impossible to verify when these things started today, according to some mangrove root fossils growing on these buildings, they are at least1.20 thousand years old. These undersea buildings are rigorous in structure and magnificent in momentum. Slate street is wide and flat, and the pavement is arranged in various patterns by some rectangular or regular polygon stones.

1967, the American submarine "Alro" discovered a submarine road while carrying out its mission along the coast of Florida, Georgia and the South Caroline Islands. After installing two special wheels, "Arumino" can move forward like a car driving on a flat road.

In China, we all know that there are Beijing, Nanjing, Xijing (now Xi 'an) and Tokyo (Kaifeng). In fact, China also has a Tokyo that can't be found on the map. This Tokyo is outside Dongshan Island in the southeast corner of Fujian Province. Legend has it that at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Prime Minister Lu Xiufu came here with the little emperor Zhao Min in his arms to avoid the invasion of Yuan soldiers. With the influx of adherents of the Southern Song Dynasty, Tokyo has become increasingly prosperous. However, at its peak, Tokyo suddenly disappeared. Tongshan Annals, the county annals of Dongshan County (Dongshan was formerly known as Tongshan), records that "Wenfa Mountain, opposite Sufeng Mountain (a coastal mountain with an altitude of more than 400 meters east of Dongshan Island), is said to be the capital of South Australia (now Nan 'ao County, Guangdong Province), which was built as Tokyo. The defect of the ground is the sea. From the hillside to the seaside, don't be poor. The city still exists, and there are still trees and bamboos in the sea. The tide recedes and the sea is quiet, and the seaside people take it by boat. " According to records, a great earthquake did happen at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty. From this point of view, Tokyo has long been sleeping at the bottom of the sea.

All this shows that there is an ancient continent and a civilized society buried under the ocean. However, this raises a question: 1.2 million years ago, was human civilization so developed?

The sea turned into a mulberry field. Similarly, in the fierce changes of the earth, mulberry fields will also become oceans, a part of human civilization, deeply buried by seawater and silt. With the progress of exploration, we will know more about ancient civilization.

Oceanographers, like geologists and archaeologists, have a strong interest in ancient underwater cities. They dived into the sea to look for the missing ancient city. Of course, what attracted them most was the reason why these cities sank. Scientists believe that the earth's crust is not static. Some places are rising and some places are sinking.

It has become a contemporary scientific research topic to find ancient underwater cities and explore the reasons for their sinking. The discovery of this ancient underwater city will certainly provide extremely valuable information for the further development of history and archaeology.
