Sunken Atlantis - the story of a lost civilization

Questions about whether Atlantis existed, about the location of Plato's sunken Atlantis, however, like all the secrets of Atlantis, torment the minds of many generations of seekers. Some researchers have not decided whether it was a large island or a small mainland. Many atlantologists are trying to find evidence of the existence of the island, other representatives of modern science believe that the "city" of Atlantis was located in the west. While still others believe that Hyperborea disappeared along with the disappeared Atlantis.

In 2004, the American scientist Robert Sarmast thought he had unraveled the mysteries of Atlantis. He announced the location of the lost city between Syria and Cyprus at a depth of one and a half kilometers. The expedition, which he led, managed to find man-made buildings at the bottom, as well as channels and riverbeds. The scientist claimed that all this coincided with the outline of Plato's Atlantis.

History of Spanish Atlantis

In 2011, already Spanish scientists voiced a version of the location of Atlantis. They believed that the ancient city was washed away by the tsunami off the Spanish coast. Local scientists claimed that at the bottom lies a complex of buildings that also corresponded to Plato's descriptions. With the help of instruments, it was possible to fix the concentration of methane, which in turn may indicate the death of many people.

History of British Atlantis

British scientists did not have to lag behind their colleagues. So, in 2012, they announced the discovery of Atlantis off their coast. The hypothesis was reported that the "British Atlantis" had to go under water about nine thousand years ago. According to this hypothesis, it was a piece of land that stretched between Denmark and Scotland. In the center, this land was the size of modern France, and this whole part of the land was almost 900 thousand square kilometers.

Atlantis Bermuda Triangle

Canadian researchers near the eastern coast of Cuba using a special robot in 2012 photographed some underwater ruins. In the photo, one could see the remains of buildings similar to pyramids, a figure resembling a sphinx, as well as engraved huge slabs. However, later archaeologists considered that this drowned city was not part of Atlantis. It turned out that it was built up to two thousand years ago. Whereas, according to the instructions of Plato, the island of Atlantis plunged into the depths of the sea around 9500 BC.

What did Plato write about Atlantis?

Having found the right places in the text of Plato's dialogues, you can read what he wrote about the civilization of Atlantis, which existed thousands of years ago. The island where it originated was larger than Libya and Asia combined. There arose a great and marvelous association of kings. All their power extended over the island, to many other islands, and also to part of the continent. Moreover, on this side of the strait they were masters of Libya as far as Egypt, and also of Europe as far as Tirrenia.

Some researchers have mentioned Solon, who wrote down the story of the death of Atlantis. He visited the Egyptian city of Sais around 611 BC. There, from the local priests, he learned that a terrible catastrophe had occurred, which occurred nine thousand years BC. e. Then there was a flooding of a huge island, exceeding in size "Libya with Asia."

Scientists, after the necessary calculations, placed an island of such volumes near Gibraltar. They decided that by now only a few islands could remain from this huge island, such as Cape Verde, the Canaries, Madeira, the Azores and others. Thus the vast archipelago was, in fact, the Platonic civilization of Atlantis.

Secret maps of Christopher Columbus

Some believe that Atlantis in ancient times meant the Canaries, and supplements this with the fact that Columbus had accurate navigation charts with the Atlantic ridge in all his four campaigns.

By the way, he was also looking for the remains of the islands of the once-existing empire. Later, some of those maps that were at the disposal of the great commander were captured by the Turks in one of the naval battles, so that they ended up at Piri Reis.

In the maps of Piri Reis that have come down to us, there were no details necessary for scientists. There were no images of the sunken mainland. Nevertheless, this did not prevent us from determining the location of Atlantis; the routes of the Columbus caravels of all four expeditions were known. It should be noted that all four expeditions of Columbus always started from the Canaries.

Mystery of ocean currents

In the last two expeditions, Columbus decided to take advantage of the current that carried his ships in the right direction. Navigators in those days could hardly have been aware of the secret of such a current. However, this secret was well known to Columbus himself, which means that he could find it in secret sources that could come to him along with maps of the disappeared continent.

Nowadays, these ocean currents have received little attention, since the modern fleet is adapted to perform autonomous navigation to any extent. This made the secrets of the currents, which in ancient times ensured the regularity of communications between parts of the world, irrelevant. However, unequivocal evidence can be found in ancient maps that these messages existed.

However, according to some researchers, after the global cosmic cataclysm in 1528 BC. communication between the continents was interrupted. And only because of Christopher Columbus everything returned to normal. The great Genoese possessed cards unknown to science and, indulging in them, made his great discoveries.

Fall of the great Posidonia

According to the ancient philosophers and writers, all its citizens were warned that Atlantis would perish. However, after nothing happened for several years, people continued to "sin" further.

The collapse of the great empire of Atlas began with the appearance of huge cracks, where the rivers rushed. Death went on throughout the state for three days, mountains collapsed and fell into valleys, rivers rushed into the ocean. On the fourth day, such a downpour fell, as if the abyss of heaven had opened up, the terrible roar of thunder did not stop.

Suddenly there was a shudder of the earth, after which part of the land began its dive into the crazy streams. Everything that was on land began to sink lower and lower under the water.

Then everything went silent. No rain, no crushing blows of wind, no downward movement - everything stopped, as if so that the survivors could rest. For several days nothing happened. It seemed to the exhausted people who hid in insignificant shelters that everything was over.

Everyone who survived three crazy days did not even pay attention to the first slight shudders of the earth, after which the great continent Atlantis sank to the bottom with one quick jerk down. It happened in an instant.

FIRST CONSTITUTION

KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE CIVILIZATION OF ATLANTIS

(Answering the chains of Thought)

Our Friends, ATLANTS have established the advanced Orders of the Divine Plans. They possessed Advanced Civilization and Advanced Technique and were the Founders of yet Unknown Solar Systems. (It was the Atlanteans who explored the Solar Systems and established the Order in them, working through the Natural Force). Later, this advanced Civilization continued its operations, Watching the Order in the Systems it established. In that Period, in these Systems, she brought about the Reformation of the Ordinance of their Order. (Transformation is a change in the Charter and Order of the System). Their Ancestors created the Atlanta Civilization. And their grandchildren controlled the Universal Orders. However, over time, this Civilization went through Transmutation under the Influence of Energies of various Dimensions, which contained Genes and Natural Energies, and it was divided into two classes:

1 - Educational Personnel;
2 - Administrative Personnel.

The Educational Cadres were the Representatives of the Priesthood. Administrative Cadres performed the function of Justice, which was supervised by the Priests. However, with Time, disagreements appeared in the Views of the Brothers and Sisters, since some came into existence in this environment through their Genes, while others evolved in other Cosmic Environments; and personal values ​​gradually began to undergo Changes. As a result of the rejection of the Universal Energies, due to the necessity of their Evolutionary Tableau, the Function of Thinking entered into Interaction with the Energies of various Dimensions, attracted through the Brain. Part of the Atlanteans, who did not lose the Values ​​of their Ancestors, separated and established another Civilization. They established an Underwater Civilization on Earth called ATLANTIS (the same as the modern Dragonians). The civilization of Atlantis was an Advanced Humane Civilization composed entirely of Representatives of the Priesthood. These Priests established Humane Civilization with the help of the Universal Energy, which they attracted with the Power of their Brain. This Underwater Civilization existed approximately Two Billion years ago, according to your reckoning. But you cannot calculate even the age of your World. In fact, they are your Ancestors. The dates prior to the Transformation made in the last Generation are not important. (The time before the Transformation in the last Generation is taken as Two Billion years). You already figured it out.

The reason for the destruction of Atlantis was the same as in the days of SODOMA and GOMORRAH. The civilization of Atlantis fell into decline because the incest of the same Genes caused them to Degenerate through the Degenerative influence of the Generations and caused them to lose their Natural Forces. The last inhabitants of Atlantis were the Priests, who took refuge in the temples erected on the waterfalls. There were 600 of them. Now each of those 600 Priests Serves in the Dimension of Salvation on Earth. Each of them fulfills the Mission, and they Give the World 600 Books (on various issues of Culture and Science).

Now on Earth, with the help of these Priests, the System that Operated in Humane Atlantis is being established. This is the principle. And this Principle is the FIRST CONSTITUTION formulated by the Priests of this Advanced Civilization.

Now We will give you the text of this Constitution.

1 - You are no different from Your Brother and Sister.
2 - Mothers are Mothers to all Children; Fathers are Fathers to all Children.
3 - In Wholeness there can be no Inequality between its members.
4 - Everything should be Equally distributed to everyone.
5 - One who does not radiate Love is transferred beyond the limits of Immortality. He is subject to the Existential Program (Program of Reincarnation and Karma).

This was the Foundation of the FIRST CONSTITUTION. Later various constitutions came into effect. But they've always been Based on Original Rights. The Divine Ordinance was formed in the same way. Over time, various interpretations of the First Constitution arose in the Consciousnesses. People have lost their original understanding of the Family, in which Mother and Father are such for any child.

Thus began the Degeneration. Later, due to the Ego, Attachment to Property appeared, and after that, in each Period, the role of the Family was Assessed Individually. In fact, the Truth is this:

1 - Any Mother should not distinguish between the Children of other Mothers and her own.
2 - Any Father must bear the Material and Moral Responsibility not only for his own, but also for all other Children.

Over time, this Remarkable Principle gave way in the Consciousnesses to its various Interpretations. Therefore, Civilization collapsed, and now this Order is being established anew. The Family Order of Atlantis could not be restored in any other Civilization. Now we are giving you the Truth through the KNOWLEDGE BOOK. We believe that this will help the Human Brothers and Sisters establish the New Order of LORD. On this path, we work together with you.

Modern researchers have not yet been able to fully reveal all the hidden secrets of the existence of Atlantis. However, thanks to the many studies carried out in this area, there are still a number of assumptions and hypotheses regarding the existence of the described ancient civilization.

Official science, of course, does not recognize the existence of this mysterious - perhaps really only mythical - civilization in the past.

The achievements of the Atlantean civilization are impressive.

There is an opinion among scientists that the Atlanteans have reached a very high level of progress in all spheres of life. They could plan their life in completely different ways. For example, it was not alien to the people who once inhabited this sunken continent, telepathic communication with family and friends. They also liked to have long conversations about their role in the Universe.

According to the Theosophists, the Atlanteans were the fourth race on earth. They appeared after the death of the Lemurian civilization, having absorbed some of its achievements, and existed before the appearance of the fifth, Aryan race. The Atlanteans were much more god-like than the Lemurians. Beautiful, smart and ambitious.

They worshiped the sun and developed their technology rapidly, just as we do today.

Description of Atlantis by Plato

In the year 421 BC, Plato spoke in his writings about the vanished civilization of the Atlanteans.

According to him, it was a large island, located in the middle of the ocean, beyond Gibraltar. In the center of the city there was a hill with temples and the palace of the kings. The upper city was protected by two mounds of earth and three water ring canals. The outer ring was connected by a 500-meter canal to the sea. Ships sailed along the canal.

Copper and silver were mined in Atlantis. Sailing ships delivered ceramic dishes, spices, and rare ores.

The temple of Poseidon, the lord of the seas, was built of gold, silver, orchilak (an alloy of copper and zinc). His second temple was protected by a golden wall. There were also statues of Poseidon and his daughters.

After forty years, after the death of the philosopher, the Athenian resident Krantor went to Egypt to find Atlantis. In the temple of Neith, he found hieroglyphs with texts about the events that had taken place.

Scientific and technological progress in Atlantis

Due to their high level of mental and mental development, the inhabitants of Atlantis managed to establish contact with extraterrestrial beings. Some researchers give information that the Atlanteans were able to create ultra-fast and practical aircraft. Their very deep knowledge in the field of physics, mathematics and mechanics made it possible to produce equipment of the highest quality with unusual properties. And it was these devices that easily helped them travel through space!

The progress in technology was so stunning that today humanity has not yet been able to develop analogues to those flying devices, even taking into account the fact that science is constantly striding by leaps and bounds forward in all spheres of life without exception.

All this suggests that the inhabitants of Atlantis were outstanding people, possessed of great intellect and knowledge. At the same time, the Atlanteans willingly shared the acquired skills and experience with the younger generation. Therefore, progress in technical development was gradually improved and reached unprecedented heights.

The first pyramids were built just on the territory of Atlantis. This unusual phenomenon still causes bewilderment among researchers, due to what improvised means and equipment it was possible to build such unusual structures!

Also economically, their country was prosperous. The work of any person in it was paid at its true worth. According to legend, Atlantis was an ideal country, there were no beggars and rich people who boasted of their wealth.

In this regard, the social situation in this country was always stable, no one was worried about food.

The appearance and morality of the Atlanteans

Due to the fact that the body of the Atlantean had remarkable physical strength compared to modern man, they could do much more work than our contemporaries.

The body of the Atlanteans was staggering in size. According to the evidence, it reached 6 meters in height. Their shoulders were very wide, the torso was elongated. There were 6 fingers on the hands, and 7 on the feet!

The facial features of people who once lived on Atlantis are also unusual. Their lips were very wide, their nose had a slightly flattened shape, while they also had huge expressive eyes.

According to their physiological data, the average life span of an average Atlantean was about 1000 years. At the same time, each of them tried to look beautiful in the eyes of others. Often, a variety of jewelry made of silver or gold, as well as precious stones, were used as decorations.

The Atlanteans were highly moral people. Therefore, they were alien to bad habits and an immoral way of everyday life. In any situation, they tried to act honestly with others, no one tried to deceive and set anyone up. In family relationships, marriage once in a lifetime was the norm. And the relationship itself was built solely on mutual trust, support and love for each other.

The political system in Atlantis was built in a democratic field. In many ways, it is similar to the one that prevails in the modern successful states of Europe with freedom of speech and the right to choose. The ruler of the Atlanteans was chosen by voting. At the same time, he ruled for a very long period - from 200 to 400 years! But whoever rules Atlantis, each of its leaders has always sought to create such a social environment within the state, thanks to which any person could always feel protected and cared for.

Causes of the death of Atlantis

One of the assumptions why Atlantis disappeared is based on the fact that the kings and the population of this continent began to abuse knowledge, with the help of which they carried out their aggressive intentions.

For example, the pyramids they built created portals to other worlds. All this contributed to the fact that the energy coming from a parallel reality could be negative and at a certain moment could adversely affect the entire continent, completely destroying it in an instant.

In their daily lives, magic has increasingly been used exclusively with malicious intent.

Too much knowledge creates a temptation to use it for selfish interests. And no matter how morally pure the inhabitants of Atlantis were at first, in the end, negative tendencies began to grow in their society over time. The predatory attitude towards nature, the growth of social inequality, the abuse of power by the small elite that ruled the Atlanteans ultimately led to tragic consequences associated with the incitement of a long-term war. And it was she who became the main reason that one day the entire continent was swallowed up by the waters of the ocean.

Some scientists also assert with certainty that the death of Atlantis occurred approximately 10-15 thousand years ago. And this large-scale event provoked a huge meteorite that fell on our planet. The fall of a meteorite could change the earth's axis, which caused a tsunami of an unprecedented scale.

What did Helena Blavatsky say about the causes of the death of Atlantis

According to Helena Blavatsky, the fall of Atlantis happened because the Atlanteans played God. It turns out that from high morality the Atlanteans rolled down to indulgence of passions.

The technology of the Atlanteans, which surpassed their spiritual qualities, allowed them to create chimeras - a cross between man and animals, to use them as sex slaves and physical workers. The Atlanteans were masters of genetic modification and cloning technology at a high level. This is similar to what people are doing now, in the 21st century.

Being telepathically warned that the continent would sink, many of the inhabitants of Atlantis fled, having managed to board ships before the final sinking of the mainland in 9564 BC. by a series of earthquakes.

The American mystic Edgar Cayce, who looked into the so-called astral akashic records in a trance state, claimed that many of the souls who once lived in Atlantis now live as representatives of modern Western civilization in order to fulfill their destiny.

The search for a lost civilization

Over the past two thousand years, there have been multiple speculations about the location of Atlantis. Interpreters of the works of Plato pointed to the modern islands of the Atlantic. Some argue that Atlantis was located in present-day Brazil and even in Siberia.

Modern archaeologists consider the thinker's story about the Atlanteans a fiction. Circular networks of canals, hydraulic structures in those days were still beyond the strength of mankind. Researchers of Plato's philosophy and literature believe that he wanted to call for the creation of an ideal state. As for the period of disappearance, Plato names information that this happened eleven and a half thousand years ago. But during this period, man was only emerging from the Paleolithic, the Stone Age. Those people were not yet sufficiently developed mind. Perhaps these data of Plato about the time of the death of Atlantis are incorrectly interpreted.

There is one assumption why the figure of the death of Atlantis by Plato appears 9 thousand years ago. The fact is that in Egyptian reckoning "nine thousand" was depicted by nine lotus flowers, and "nine hundred" - by nine knots of rope. Outwardly, in writing, they were similar, and therefore there was confusion.

Modern research

In one thousand nine hundred and seventy-nine, all European newspapers were full of headlines "The Russians found an island." Photographs were presented in which vertical ridges, similar to walls, peeked out of the sand. Search operations unfolded exactly where Plato indicated - behind the Pillars of Hercules, above the underwater volcano Ampere. It was reliably established that it stood out from the water, was an island.

In 1982, another Russian ship, having sank under water, discovered the ruins of the city: walls, squares, rooms. These findings were refuted by another expedition, which found nothing. In addition to frozen volcanic rocks.

There are suggestions that the disaster occurred due to a sudden shift in the African tectonic plate. Its collision with the European caused the eruption of Santorin - and the western islands sank.

Of course, it is now impossible to say with accuracy what exactly happened once to Atlantis and what contributed to its death. And many of the hypotheses set forth by the researchers can only come close to the truth.

Whether Atlantis was simply a figment of the imagination of Plato and other thinkers, or a reality reflected in ancient legends, miraculously preserved to this day, remains a mystery ...

Perhaps our civilization is moving towards the same finale, when we will become for our distant descendants the same mythical event that Atlantis is for us. And our continents will also unsuccessfully search for days of deep oceans.

The "fatal" mistake of Plato (Critias or Solon) is revealed, which led to confusion with the location of Atlantis.

Atlantis has not disappeared, it exists and lies in the depths of the sea. A lot has been said about Atlantis, thousands of research materials have been written. Historians, archaeologists, searchers have proposed fifty versions of a possible location around the world (in Scandinavia, in the Baltic Sea, in Greenland, North and South America, in Africa, the Black, Aegean, Caspian Sea, in the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and so on), but the exact location is not named. Why such confusion?

Starting to understand, you discover one pattern that all assumptions are initially tied to some kind of similarity, a find of antiquity, a single description, under which (which) the materials were subsequently “fitted”. As a result, nothing worked. There is a similarity, but Atlantis cannot be found.

We'll go the other way

Let's look for Atlantis in a different way, which in this case (judging by the well-known proposals), has not been used by anyone before. First, let's take the method of elimination, where Atlantis could not be. As the circle narrows, we will use all the “benchmarks” that were proposed by the ancient Greek scientist, the sage (428-347 BC) Plato (Aristocles) in his writings - Timaeus and Critias. In these documents, the only and rather detailed description of Atlantis, its inhabitants and historical events related to the life of the legendary island is given.

“Aristotle taught me to satisfy my mind only with what reasoning convinces me, and not just the authority of teachers. Such is the power of truth: you are trying to refute it, but your attacks themselves elevate it and give it great value, ”said the Italian philosopher, physicist, mathematician Galileo Galilei in the 16th century.

Below is a map of the world, as it was presented in Greece during the time of Plato, Herodotus (IV - V century BC).

Mediterranean Sea

So, let's start "cutting the ends." Atlantis could not be in any far corner of the world, and even it was not in the Atlantic Ocean. You will ask why? Because the war (according to the history of the story) between Athens and Atlantis could not be anywhere except in the Mediterranean Sea on this “patch of civilization” due to the limited development of mankind. The world is big - but the developed one is small. Close neighbors fight among themselves more often and constantly than distant ones. Athens simply could not, with her army and navy, reach the limits of Atlantis if she were somewhere far away. Water and vast distances were an insurmountable obstacle.

“This barrier was insurmountable for people, because ships and shipping did not yet exist,” Plato narrates in his work Critias.

In ancient Greek mythology, which arose many thousands of years later than the time of the death of Atlantis, the only (!) hero Hercules (according to Homer in the XII century BC) performed a feat, traveling to the farthest western point of the world - to the edge of the Mediterranean Sea.

“When the Atlas Mountains appeared on the path of Hercules, he did not climb them, but made his way through, thus paving the Strait of Gibraltar and connecting the Mediterranean Sea with the Atlantic. This point also served as a border for navigators in the ancient era, therefore, in a figurative sense, “Hercules (Hercules) pillars” is the end of the world, the limit of the world. And the expression to reach the pillars of Hercules "means" to reach the limit.

See picture The Strait of Gibraltar today is the place reached by the historical hero Heracles.

In the foreground is the Rock of Gibraltar on the edge of mainland Europe, and in the background on the coast of Africa is Mount Jebel Musa in Morocco.

What western limit of the earth reached Hercules (“end of the world”) was unattainable by other mortals. Thus, Atlantis was closer to the center of the ancient civilization - it was in the Mediterranean Sea. But where exactly?

Pillars of Hercules (according to Plato's story, behind which lay the island of Atlantis) in the Mediterranean Sea at that time there were seven pairs (Gibraltar, Dardanelles, Bosphorus, Kerch Strait, Nile Mouth, etc.). The pillars were located at the entrances to the straits, and all had the same name - Heracles (later Latin name - Hercules). The pillars served as landmarks and beacons for ancient sailors.

“First of all, let us briefly recall that, according to legend, nine thousand years ago there was a war between those peoples who lived on the other side of the Pillars of Hercules, and all those who lived on this side: we will have to tell about this war ... How we have already mentioned that it was once an island larger than Libya and Asia (not their entire geographical territory, but rather areas inhabited in antiquity), but now it has failed due to earthquakes and has turned into impenetrable silt, blocking the way for sailors who would try to swim from us to the open sea, and making navigation unthinkable. (Plato, Critias).

This information about Atlantis, which dates back to the 6th century BC. came from the Egyptian priest Timaeus from the city of Sais, located on the coast of Africa, in the western delta of the Nile. The current name of this village is Sa el-Hagar (see below the picture of the Nile River Delta).

When Timaeus said that the barrier from the remains of the sunken Atlantis blocked the way "from us to the open sea", then speaking about us (about himself and about Egypt), this clearly testified to the location of Atlantis. That is, it lies in the direction of travel from the Egyptian mouth of the Nile to the wide waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

In ancient times, the Pillars of Hercules were also called the entrance to the main navigable (western) mouth of the Nile, nicknamed the mouth of Heracles, that is, Hercules, where the city of Heracleum was located and there was a temple in honor of Hercules. Over time, the silt and floating material from the sunken Atlantis was blown across the sea, and the island itself went even deeper into the abyss.

“Since in nine thousand years there have been many great floods (namely, so many years have passed from those times to Plato), the earth did not accumulate in the form of any significant shoal, as in other places, but was washed away by waves and then disappeared into the abyss.” (Plato, Critias).

Crete

Next, we exclude other, impossible locations. Atlantis could not be located in the Mediterranean Sea north of the island of Crete. Today in that area there are countless small islands scattered over the water area, which does not correspond to the story of flooding (!), and by this very fact excludes the entire territory. But even this is not the main thing. There would not have been enough space for Atlantis (according to the description of its size) in the sea north of Crete.

The expedition of the well-known explorer of the sea depths of the French oceanographer to the area north of Crete on the periphery of the islands of Thira (Strongele), Fera discovered the remains of an ancient sunken city, but from the above it follows that it belongs to another civilization rather than Atlantis.

In the archipelago of the islands of the Aegean Sea, earthquakes, catastrophes associated with volcanic activity, which led to local subsidence of the earth, are known, and according to new evidence, they occur in our time. For example, a recently sunken medieval fortress in the Aegean Sea near the city of Marmaris in a bay on the coast of Turkey.

Between Cyprus, Crete and Africa

Narrowing the search circle, we come to the conclusion that only one thing remains - Atlantis could only be in one place opposite the mouth of the Nile - between the islands of Crete, Cyprus and the northern coast of Africa. She is there today at a depth and lies, having fallen into a deep basin of the sea.

The failure of an almost oval water area with influx from the coast, horizontal wrinkling (from sliding) of sedimentary rocks to the center of the "funnel" is clearly visible from the Internet survey of the seabed from space. The bottom in this place resembles a pit, sprinkled with soft sedimentary rock on top, there is no solid "crust of the continental mantle" under it. Only visible on the body of the Earth is a hollow inside that is not overgrown with firmament.

The Egyptian priest Timaeus, in his story about the location of the silt from the flooded Atlantis, gives a reference to the Pillars of Heracles (it was logical for him to say - closest to him), located at the mouth of the western Nile.

In another case (later already in Greece), when Plato described the power of Atlantis, we are already talking about other pillars, as mentioned above, there were seven of them in the Mediterranean at that time. When Plato expounded the text of the work (according to the retelling of Solon and Critias), the Egyptian priest Timaeus (the primary source of the story) had not been there for 200 years by that time, and there was no one to clarify the information about which pillars the conversation was about. Therefore, the subsequent confusion arose with the location of Atlantis.

“After all, according to our records, your state (Athens) put an end to the insolence of countless military forces that set off to conquer all of Europe and Asia, and kept their way from the Atlantic Sea. […] On this island, called Atlantis, there arose a kingdom amazing in size and power, whose power extended to the whole island, to many other islands and to part of the mainland, and moreover, on this side of the strait they took possession of Libya (northern Africa ) as far as Egypt and Europe as far as Tirrenia (west coast of Italy). (Plato, Timaeus).

The sea that washed the island of Atlantis (between Crete, Cyprus and Egypt) was called the Atlantic in ancient times, it was located in the Mediterranean Sea, as well as the modern seas: the Aegean, Tyrrhenian, Adriatic, Ionian.

Subsequently, due to an error in tying Atlantis not to the Nile, but to the Pillars of Gibraltar, the name "Atlantic" Sea automatically spread to the ocean beyond the strait. The once inland Atlantic Sea, due to the inaccuracy of the interpretation of the story of Timaeus and the description (Plato, Critias or Solon), became the Atlantic Ocean. As the Russian proverb says: “We got lost in three pines” (more precisely, in seven pairs of pillars). When Atlantis went into the abyss of the sea, the Atlantic Sea disappeared with it.

Timaeus, narrating the history of Atlantis, noted that the victory of Athens brought freedom from slavery to all other peoples (including the Egyptians), who had not yet been enslaved by the Atlanteans - "on this side of the Pillars of Hercules", speaking about himself - about Egypt.

“It was then, Solon, that your state showed the whole world a brilliant proof of its valor and strength: all, surpassing all in fortitude and experience in military affairs, it first stood at the head of the Hellenes, but because of the betrayal of the allies, it turned out to be left to itself, met alone with extreme dangers and yet defeated the conquerors and erected victorious trophies. Those who were not yet enslaved, it saved from the threat of slavery; all the rest, no matter how much we lived on this side of the Pillars of Heracles, it generously made free. But later, when the time came for unprecedented earthquakes and floods, in one terrible day, all your military strength was swallowed up by the cracked earth; likewise, Atlantis disappeared, plunging into the abyss. After that, the sea in those places has become unnavigable and inaccessible to this day due to the shallowing caused by the huge amount of silt that the settled island left behind. (Plato, Timaeus).

Description of the island

You can even more clarify the place of Atlantis from the description of the island itself.

“Poseidon, having received the island of Atlantis as his inheritance ..., approximately in this place: from the sea to the middle of the island, a plain stretched, according to legend, more beautiful than all other plains and very fertile.” (Plato, Timaeus).

“This whole region lay very high and steeply cut off to the sea, but the whole plain that surrounded the city (capital) and itself surrounded by mountains that stretched to the sea itself, was a flat surface, three thousand stadia long (580 km.), And in the direction from the sea to the middle - two thousand (390 km.). All this part of the island was turned to the south wind, and from the north it was closed by mountains. These mountains are praised by legend because they surpassed all the present ones in their multitude, size and beauty. The plain ... was an oblong quadrangle, mostly rectilinear. (Plato, Critias).

So, following the description - approximately to the middle of the island of Atlantis stretched a rectangular plain measuring 580 by 390 kilometers, open to the south and closed from the north by large and high mountains. Fitting these dimensions into a geographical map north of the mouth of the Nile, we get that the southern part of Atlantis could completely adjoin Africa (near the Libyan cities of Tobruk, Derna and Egyptian cities on the coast west of Alexandria), and its northern mountainous part could be (but not a fact) - the island of Crete (in the west), and Cyprus (in the east).

In favor of the fact that Atlantis in earlier times (than its mention in the ancient Egyptian papyri), namely tens of thousands of years ago, was connected with Africa - says the story of the animal world of the island.

“Even elephants were found on the island in great abundance, for there was enough food not only for all other living creatures that inhabit the swamps, lakes and rivers, mountains or plains, but also for this beast, of all the animals, the largest and voracious.” (Plato, Critias).

It should also be taken into account that with the end of the ice age, with the beginning of the melting of the northern glaciers, the level of the world ocean rose by 100-150 meters and, probably, the part of the land that once connected Atlantis and the mainland was gradually flooded. Elephants and the inhabitants of the island of Atlantis (named after their king Atlanta), who came here earlier from the depths of Africa, remained on a large island surrounded by the sea.

The Atlanteans were ordinary people of a modern look, and not four-meter giants, otherwise the Hellenes from Athens would not have been able to defeat them. The insular, isolated position of the inhabitants prompted civilization to a separate active, ahead of external warring barbarians, development (fortunately, everything needed was on the island).

On Atlantis (in its capital, similar to the hill of an extinct volcano), hot springs of mineral water flowed from the ground. This indicates a high seismic activity of the territory located on the "thin" mantle of the earth's crust... "a spring of cold and a spring of hot water, which gave water in abundance, and, moreover, amazing both in taste and in healing power." (Plato, Critias).

Immersion under water

I will not now assume what caused the internal "hiccups" of the Earth, as a result of which Atlantis sank into the basin of the Mediterranean Sea in a day, and then even deeper. But it should be noted that exactly in that place along the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea there is a fault boundary between the African and European continental tectonic plates.

The depth of the sea there is very large - about 3000-4000 meters. It is possible that a powerful impact of a giant meteorite in North America in Mexico, which, according to the US National Academy of Sciences, occurred 13 thousand years ago (about the same time) and caused an inertial wave and plate movement in the Mediterranean.

Just like continental plates, crawling on top of each other, breaking edges, uplift mountains - the same process, but in the opposite direction, when diverging, it forms subsidence and deep depressions. The African plate slightly moved away from the European one, and this was quite enough to lower Atlantis into the abyss of the sea.

The fact that Africa in the history of the Earth has already moved away from Europe and Asia is clearly evidenced by the huge intercontinental fault that runs through the Mediterranean Sea. The fault is clearly visible on the geographical map along the lines (seas) of the split in the earth's crust, which go in the directions - the Dead Sea, the Gulf of Aqaba, the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Persian and Oman.

See the picture below, how the continent of Africa moves away from Asia, forming the above seas and bays at the break points.

Crete - Atlantis

It is possible that the current island of Crete was earlier that very northern, high mountainous part of Atlantis, which did not fall into the abyss of the sea, but, having broken away, stayed on the "European continental cornice". On the other hand, if you look at Crete on a geographical map, then it does not stand on the very cliff of the mantle of the European mainland, but about 100 kilometers from the basin of the Mediterranean (Atlantic) Sea. This means that there was no catastrophic break of Atlantis along the current coastline of the island of Crete.

But here we must also take into account the fact that since then the sea level has risen by 100-150 meters (or more) due to the melting of glaciers. It is possible that Crete and Cyprus, as independent units, were part of the archipelago of the island Atlantis.

Historians and archaeologists write: “Excavations in Crete show that even four or five millennia after the alleged death of Atlantis, the inhabitants of this Mediterranean island sought to settle away from the coast. (Memory of ancestors?). Unknown fear drove them to the mountains. The first centers of agriculture and culture are also located at some distance from the sea”…

The former proximity of the location of Atlantis to Africa and to the mouth of the Nile is indirectly evidenced by the extensive Kattara depression in North Africa in the Libyan Desert, 50 km from the Mediterranean coast, west of the Egyptian city of Alexandria. The Qattara depression is minus 133 meters below sea level.

See the picture above - the huge Qattara depression near the Mediterranean coast in Egypt.

There is also another lowland on the tectonic fault line - this is the Dead Sea (minus 395 meters) in Israel. They testify to a once-completed territorial catastrophe, common to all, associated with the subsidence of large tracts of land from the divergence in different directions of the European and African continental plates.

What gives the establishment of the exact location of Atlantis

The depression of the Mediterranean at the site of the former Atlantis is too deep. At first, the silt that rose and then settled to the bottom and subsequent sedimentary deposits somewhat covered Atlantis. The golden capital with its countless treasures in the temple of Poseidon turned out to be at great depths.

The search for the capital of Atlantis in the southern part of the Mediterranean Sea in the "triangle" between the islands of Crete, Cyprus, the mouth of the Nile will bring a useful result to the "treasury" of the world history of mankind, but this requires research by deep-sea vehicles.

There are guidelines for the attentive reader to search for the capital... There are two Mir underwater stations in Russia that could survey and study the bottom.

For example, Italian explorers-oceanographers in the summer of 2015 on the shelf of the island of Pantelleria, located approximately in the middle between Sicily and Africa, at a depth of 40 meters at the bottom of the sea found a giant man-made column 12 meters long, weighing 15 tons, broken in half. Traces of drilling holes are visible on the column. Its age is estimated at about 10 thousand years (comparable to the era of the Atlanteans). Divers also found the remains of a pier - a ridge of stones half a meter in size, laid out in a straight line, protecting the entrance to the ancient ship harbor.
These findings suggest that the search for the capital of Atlantis is not hopeless.

It is also encouraging that the confusion with the "Pillars of Hercules" has been successfully resolved and the location of Atlantis has finally been established.

Already today, for the sake of historical truth, the Mediterranean basin, at the bottom of which lies the legendary island in memory of Atlantis and its inhabitants, can and should be returned to its ancient name - the Atlantic Sea. This will be the first important world event in the search and discovery of Atlantis.

Science fiction writers and filmmakers have shown more than once how diverse life outside our planet can be. They pushed mankind to lose the ability to admire different biological species and ancient civilizations on Earth. At their suggestion, people began to be frivolous about huge reckonings lasting billions of years. In this regard, today it is important for a person to clearly understand the boundaries of space fantasy and the real history of his earthly home.

The earth has existed for endless billions of years and its appearance may have completely changed during this time. If we had the opportunity to go into the past and look, we would not recognize her.

Plato on the mysteries of Atlantis

Based on the statements of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, 15,000 years ago, Atlantis was located in the Atlantic Ocean. In his stories, he only slightly mentioned the location of the mainland, but accurately described the life and culture of the Atlantean civilization. According to him, the cities of Atlantis amazed the imagination with their grandeur. He also described how high the technical level of development existed among the Atlanteans.

However, Plato himself did not see all this. He was told by his uncle Solon, who was in Egypt and heard about the Atlanteans from the priests of the goddess Neith. Solon was even pointed to the inscriptions in the temples, which are real evidence of the existence of the continent. Solon concluded: the Atlanteans knew about the death of the continent, so they did everything in order to preserve the human gene pool and its great secrets.

According to Plato, the mainland Atlantis sank under water in a few hours. How could such a huge piece of land sink in such a short time? After all, no natural disaster will produce such destruction. Therefore, scientists put forward two versions: either the continent went into the waters of the ocean longer than they say, or the death of the Atlantean civilization came from outer space.

Versions of scientists

To find the flooded mainland, scientists explored the entire Earth. There is information that can make humanity take a different look at its history.

Experts believe that the most likely location of the continent is the Aegean Sea. Atlantes were closely associated with the Minoan civilization, which existed long before our era. e. However, there was a strong eruption on the island of Santorini and Atlantis plunged into the sea. According to geological studies, this theory is indirectly confirmed. So, in this area, many meters of deposits of volcanic ash were actually noticed under water. However, whether there are remains of the Atlanteans under them - science cannot say.

Another place to look for Atlantis, scientists call modern Antarctica. Ancient maps of the Earth make this version not so fantastic. So, at the beginning of 1665, the German Jesuit Athanasius Kircher presented a copy of the Egyptian map, where Antarctica was depicted without ice. And with the help of the latest equipment, data were obtained that show the complete similarity of the outlines of the Egyptian map with the modern one. There are also similar maps of Antarctica, which are now in various museums around the world.

The ancient Sumerians, who lived on the territory of Mesopotamia, were in contact with a civilization that lives on the planet Nibiru. The Dagons are a tribe of Central Africa, for almost 6 thousand years they have kept evidence of contacts with representatives of the planet Sirius. However, the Atlanteans are considered the most interesting and mysterious ancient civilization for scientists around the world. They, in addition to a high level of science and technology, possessed telepathic and extrasensory abilities. Perhaps it was the Atlanteans that were the ancestors of man.

Who were the Atlanteans?

Marine explorer Edward Case has slightly lifted the veil of this mystery. A scientist in 1930 found traces of a dead continent between the Gulf of Mexico and the Mediterranean Sea. Atlantean traces have also been found in America, Morocco, British Honduras and the Pyrenees. On the border of Bermuda and Puerto Rico (Sargasso Sea) is supposedly the largest part of Atlantis. According to Casey, it is very difficult for modern human civilization to imagine how much the Atlanteans were ahead of us in all areas. And the growth of these people was much higher than ours. According to Casey, their development was completely different from ours. The Atlanteans had the ability to move freely on the earth, not paying attention to the force of gravity. Their communication took place telepathically, and with the power of thought, the Atlanteans could move objects weighing several tens of tons.

Only time can destroy material traces. But the civilization of the Atlanteans left behind in the memory of all nationalities a large amount of information that was passed down from generation to generation. So, Plato did not have any evidence of the existence of the Atlanteans, except for the story of his uncle, but even modern scientists believed him. Apparently, on a subconscious level, they felt that there was truth in this story. Therefore, in the 21st century, the search for this amazing civilization continues.

Interest in this country is fueled by the desire of scientists to get answers to numerous questions: who were the Atlanteans and where did they come from? What destroyed their civilization? Was it an accidental death? However, experts in the scientific world are well aware that if Atlantis is found, then the official history of the development of human civilization will melt like a misty haze in the sunlight. To date, there are enough facts that speak of the reliability of Plato's stories.

Myths and legends

The peoples of the world on the five continents of the Earth in myths and legends mention the giants, who were once the dominant race.

In Egypt, they believe that their first dynasty arose from giants who sailed to them by sea and taught them medicine, as well as the art of building.

Greek mythology mentions giants born from the blood of Uranus. One of them was the famous Antaeus, who was killed by Hercules. And the titan Prometheus taught the Greeks how to use fire.

The ancient Roman erudite writer Pliny the Elder in his author's writings says that during a strong earthquake a large hill collapsed, which exposed the skeleton of a giant 20 meters high. The Greek writer Philostratus, who later began to live in Rome, spoke about his discovery in Ethiopia. He found a strange burial, where there was a skeleton of a man, whose height was 15 meters.

The Spanish geographer and historian of the 16th century, Cieza de Leon, tells the legend of the attack of the giants. They sailed on ships and during the night managed to build the Tiwanaku temple, which today is an archaeological complex.

In the ancient Indian epic in Sanskrit, there is a story about the titans who opposed Rama. Hanuman - one of the giants, became the protector of people.

In the history of the Toltecs, there are legends about big people who disappeared from the face of the Earth after strong earthquakes.

The abyss of time separates human civilization from the Atlanteans who once lived. They were far superior to us in every way. But their traces of spiritual knowledge are imprinted on Earth forever. Today there is evidence of only a small part of the existence of the Atlanteans, and all of them are based on fragments of facts that are not fully understood. The fragmentary information of geologists, paleontologists and archaeologists cannot be fully formed into a complete picture that decides the question of Atlantis. Where was she and where did she go? Is there a connection between the past and the future? Perhaps everything happens according to the Laws of the Cosmos? Will we be able to find the disappeared Atlantis or is it valuable knowledge lost forever?

Findings of archaeologists

Atlantis can be found! There is confirmation of this - archaeological finds of the remains of giants around the world. So, in mid-2008, in Georgia, near the city of Borjomi, archaeologists found the remains of a giant, whose growth was more than 3 meters.

And anthropologists in Australia found a human tooth 67 mm high and 42 mm wide. Such a tooth could be in a person with a height of more than 7 meters and a weight of 350 kilograms.

In Turkey, paleontologists have dug up many fossilized human remains. For example, the leg bone is 1 meter 20 centimeters long.

Chinese archaeologists have discovered a large number of human jaw fragments. Their growth could be more than 3.5 meters.

Many legends of Easter Island speak of giants who erected statues 20 meters high and weighing 50 tons. The race that placed these statues was called "masters who fell from the sky."

According to many scientists of the Great Sphinx, it was the Atlanteans who created the statues of Bamiyan and the pyramids of Egypt. Their civilization is considered the most highly developed that ever existed. They rose into the air on mysterious aircraft, could descend to great depths and even fly to other planets. According to the Hindu gurus, these structures were lifted into the air by the power of thought. However, the civilization of the Atlanteans perished during the Flood. Why? What are the reasons for her death?

Russian writer and religious philosopher Helena Ivanovna Roerich in her book "Agni Yoga" concluded that the time of existence of human civilization is coming to an end. Our modern life corresponds to the last days of the Atlanteans. Today there is a complete spiritual savagery, betrayal, war, famine, devastation, death. Science is defiled and becomes the subject of contention and speculation. Spiritual heritage is being destroyed, churches are emptying. Greed, selfishness and cruelty are everywhere. The balance of forces between the Cosmos and the Earth collapses. This will create a catastrophe that will destroy our civilization, as it destroyed Atlantis in its time.
