Science fiction writers and filmmakers have shown time and again how diverse life can be beyond our planet. They have pushed humanity to lose the ability to admire different biological species and ancient civilizations on Earth. At their instigation, people began to treat huge chronologies lasting billions of years lightly. In this regard, today it is important for a person to clearly understand the boundaries of space fiction 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 chance to go back in time and look, we would not recognize it.
Plato on the Mysteries of Atlantis
According to the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, 15,000 years ago, Atlantis was located in the Atlantic Ocean. In his stories, he only briefly mentioned the location of the continent, 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 the Atlanteans was.
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 of the sky Neith. Solon was even shown the inscriptions in the temples, which are real evidence of the existence of the continent. Solon concluded: the Atlanteans knew about the destruction of the continent, so they did everything to preserve the human gene pool and its great secrets.
According to Plato, the continent of 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 could cause such destruction. Therefore, scientists put forward two versions: either the continent sank into the ocean waters longer than they say, or the death of the Atlantean civilization came from space.
Scientists' versions
Scientists have explored the entire Earth to find the sunken continent. There is information that could make humanity take a different look at its history.
Experts believe that the most likely location of the continent is the Aegean Sea. The Atlanteans were closely associated with the Minoan civilization, which existed long before our era. However, there was a strong eruption on the island of Santorini and Atlantis sank into the sea. According to geological studies, this theory is indirectly confirmed. Thus, in this area, multi-meter deposits of volcanic ash were indeed noticed underwater. However, whether there are remains of the Atlanteans under them – science cannot say.
Another place where Atlantis can be found, scientists say, is modern Antarctica. Ancient maps of the Earth make this version not so fantastic. Thus, in early 1665, the German Jesuit Athanasius Kircher presented a copy of an Egyptian map, where Antarctica was depicted without ice. And with the help of the latest equipment, data was obtained that shows the complete similarity of the outlines of the Egyptian map with the modern one. There are other similar maps of Antarctica, which are now in various museums around the world.
The ancient Sumerians, who lived in Mesopotamia, had contact with a civilization living on the planet Nibiru. The Dagons, a tribe from Central Africa, have kept evidence of contacts with representatives of the planet Sirius for almost 6 thousand years. However, the most interesting and mysterious ancient civilization for scientists around the world is considered to be the Atlanteans. In addition to a high level of science and technology, they had telepathic and extrasensory abilities. Perhaps the Atlanteans were the ancestors of man.
Who were the Atlanteans?
Marine explorer Edward Case lifted the veil of this mystery a little. In 1930, the scientist found traces of a lost continent between the Gulf of Mexico and the Mediterranean Sea. Traces of the Atlanteans were also found in America, Morocco, British Honduras and the Pyrenees. The largest part of Atlantis is supposedly located on the border of Bermuda and Puerto Rico (Sargasso Sea). According to Casey, it is very difficult for modern human civilization to imagine how far the Atlanteans were ahead of us in all areas. And the height 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 ground, ignoring the force of gravity. They communicated 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 Atlantean civilization left behind a large amount of information in the memory of all peoples, which was passed down from generation to generation. Thus, Plato had no evidence of the existence of the Atlanteans, except for his uncle's story, 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 understand perfectly well that if Atlantis is found, the official history of the development of human civilization will melt away like a foggy haze in the sunlight. Today, 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 giants who were once the dominant race.
In Egypt, they believe that their first dynasty came from giants who came to them by sea and taught them medicine, as well as the art of construction.
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 writer and erudite Pliny the Elder tells in his original works 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, told about his discovery in the territory of Ethiopia. He found a strange burial, where the skeleton of a man whose height was 15 meters was located.
The 16th century Spanish geographer and historian Cieza de Leon tells a legend about an attack by giants. They arrived on ships and managed to build the Tiwanaku temple overnight, which is now an archaeological complex.
In the ancient Indian epic in Sanskrit there is a story about the titans who came out against Rama. Hanuman, one of the giants, became the protector of people.
In the history of the Toltecs there are legends about large people who disappeared from the face of the Earth after strong earthquakes.
An abyss of time separates human civilization from the Atlanteans who once lived. They were much higher than us in all respects. But their traces of spiritual knowledge are forever imprinted on the Earth. 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 have not been fully studied. Fragmentary information from geologists, paleontologists and archaeologists cannot fully form a complete picture that resolves the question of Atlantis. Where was it and where did it 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 this valuable knowledge lost forever?
Archaeological finds
Atlantis can be found! This is confirmed by archaeological finds of giants' remains all over the world. Thus, in mid-2008, near the city of Borjomi in Georgia, archaeologists found the remains of a giant whose height was more than 3 meters.
And Australian anthropologists have found a human tooth 67 mm high and 42 mm wide. Such a tooth could have belonged to a person over 7 meters tall and weighing 350 kilograms.
In Turkey, paleontologists have dug up many fossilized human remains. For example, a leg bone 1 meter 20 centimeters long.
Chinese archaeologists have discovered a large number of human jaw fragments. They could have been over 3.5 meters tall.
Many Easter Island legends speak of giants who erected statues 20 meters high and weighing 50 tons. The race that erected these statues were called “the masters who fell from the sky.”
According to many scientists, the Great Sphinx, the statues of Bamiyan and the pyramids of Egypt were created by the Atlanteans. Their civilization is considered the most highly developed that ever existed. They rose into the air on mysterious flying machines, could descend to great depths and even fly to other planets. According to Hindu gurus, these structures rose into the air by the power of thought. However, the Atlantean civilization perished during the Great Flood. Why? What were the reasons for its demise?
Russian writer and religious philosopher Elena Ivanovna Roerich in her book “Agni Yoga” concluded that the time of human civilization is coming to an end. Our modern life corresponds to the last days of the Atlanteans. Today there is complete spiritual savagery, betrayal, wars, hunger, destruction, death. Science is desecrated and becomes the subject of discord and speculation. Spiritual heritage is destroyed, temples are empty. Greed, egoism and cruelty are everywhere. The balance of power between the Cosmos and the Earth is collapsing. This will create a catastrophe that will destroy our civilization, as it destroyed Atlantis in its time.
