Atlantis

Atlantis - according to the ancient Greek legend preserved by Plato, there once existed a huge fertile densely populated island in Atlantic Ocean west of Gibraltar, which sank to the bottom due to an earthquake. Questions about the existence and causes of the death of Atlantis remain controversial in science. (BES).

The search for Atlantis began in 50 AD and has actually continued for two millennia. During this time it was expressed great amount versions, but then scientists agreed to count only 40-50 points on the map of the Earth that correspond to the legend with the greatest degree of plausibility. It has been suggested that similar events could have occurred in different time, V different places and a chronology of the alleged events is built. Presumably the events could have developed in the following order:

south of the islands Cape Verde, opposite the city of Conakry (Africa);

- near the southern part of the Mendeleev ridge, but north of the island. Wrangel (Arctic Ocean);

- in the Caribbean Sea, west of the island. Haiti;

– in the northeast of Taimyr;

– north of the island. Crete;

– in the center of Bolivia (South America);

– in the South China Sea;

– in Novorossiysk Bay (Krasnodar Territory).

The ancient Greek philosopher Plato (427-347 BC) in his two works “Timaeus” and “Critias” described the glorious history and tragic end of the island state of Atlantis. The plot is based on a story in the form of a dialogue conducted by Plato's great-grandfather Critias with his grandfather, who heard the story of Atlantis from his contemporary Solon, an Athenian legislator and poet, who, in turn, heard the story from an Egyptian priest. This Island state was, according to Plato, beyond the Pillars of Hercules, as the Strait of Gibraltar was previously called.

Plato gives enough detailed description the island itself, its capital. In the center of the island there was a hill on which stood temples and the royal palace of the Acropolis. Upper town protected by two rows of earthen embankments and three water rings-channels. The outer ring was connected to the sea by a 500-meter canal through which ships entered the inner port. The harbor could accommodate up to 1,200 ships, which could wait out any bad weather here.

The central part of the island was surrounded by stone walls. Molten copper was applied to the stone walls around the outer earthen ring of the Atlantean Canal, and the inside of the wall was covered with cast tin. The wall of the Acropolis was covered with orichalcum (an alloy of copper and zinc), which gave off a “fiery glow.” The floors of the temple of the main deity of the Atlanteans, Poseidon, were lined with gold, silver and orichalcum. Another temple dedicated to Poseidon and his wife Cleito, the ancestor of all Atlanteans, was also surrounded by a golden wall.

In the dialogue “Timaeus,” Plato explains some of the political structure of the island state: “On this island, called Atlantis, arose a great and amazing alliance of kings, whose power extended over the entire island, to many other islands and to part of the mainland, and beyond that , on this side of the strait they captured Libya as far as Egypt and part of Europe as far as Tyrrhenia...”

If you do not take into account a number of late geographical names(Europe, Tyrrhenia, Libya, Egypt), which can be attributed to translators, the narrative looks quite convincing, and Plato himself repeatedly repeats that he is writing the true truth. There is some doubt about the information that underground passages led to the African and American continents.

The Olympian gods, angry at the greed of the islanders and Athens, who fought with them, decided to punish them for greed and violence. A monstrous earthquake and flood “in one terrible day and one night” destroyed the Athenian army and the entire Atlantis, which sank under the ocean waters.

Such is the legend. Many researchers were attracted by the treasures of Atlantis; everyone wanted to take possession of them. Most of the signs described by Plato pointed to the existence of something sunken in the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean; some believed that they had misinterpreted the main landmark and tried to look in the Mediterranean Sea, which in the old days could be compared to the ocean. New versions also appeared that the ancient philosopher did not know about: Brazil and the sea coasts of Siberia.

Interest arose with renewed vigor after the First World War in connection with the development of new underwater technology. This prompted adventurers to organize search companies in several countries at once. The companies failed one after another, but the interest did not wane; each new one believed that it was closer to the goal of the previous search engines. In the Soviet Union, the search for the sunken island began several decades ago. “The Russians found Atlantis!” - such sensational headlines circulated all the world's newspapers in 1979 and were accompanied by photographs of the seabed. In the photographs, longitudinal ridges were clearly visible under the layer of sand, reminiscent of the walls of a destroyed city. The impression of ancient city ruins was enhanced by the fact that other ridges ran along the bottom at right angles to the first. The underwater images were taken by scientists from the Moscow University research vessel Akademik Petrovsky. The place itself fit perfectly with Plato’s version and was located “beyond the Pillars of Hercules” in the area of ​​the shallows near the underwater volcano Ampere. Scientists were able to establish that the volcano once protruded above the water and was an island.

Three years later, the better-equipped Soviet vessel Rift launched the Argus submersible submersible at this location. A message from the commander of the Argus, V. Bulyga, was sent to the Institute of Oceanology of the USSR Academy of Sciences: “We were presented with a panorama of the ruins of the city, since the walls very much imitated the remains of rooms, streets, and squares.” Unfortunately, such encouraging impressions of the aquanaut were not confirmed by the subsequent expedition of the “Vityaz”, which took place in the summer of 1984. Two stones of regular shape were raised to the surface from one of the walls, but their analysis showed that these were the creations of human hands, but volcanic rock. The commander of the Argus crew, Doctor of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences A. Gorodnitsky, will write in his report: “Most likely, the stone is solidified lava that once poured out through the cracks of the volcano.”

This expedition examined another seamount, Josephine, an equally ancient volcano, and previously an island. A. Gorodnitsky proposed his vision of a geological catastrophe of the distant past: it occurred as a result of a sharp shift in the northern direction of the African tectonic plate. Its collision with the European plate caused the eruption of the Santorini volcano in the east, and in the west - the immersion of the named volcanic islands. This hypothesis does not contradict the geological and geophysical data of modern science. Meanwhile, once again, the version of Atlantis turned out to be just another myth and scientists did not find traces of material culture.

The most plausible version of the study is worthy of attention by the Swiss archaeologist Eberhard Zangger, who, having compared some data relating to Troy and Atlantis, considered them identical. Quite close and important matches (number of ships in “twelve hundred”, strong north winds, which interfered with rowing vessels when passing into the Black Sea).

Not long ago, the wealthy English athlete T. Severin decided to follow the path of the Argonauts in a galley built according to an ancient model. Before entering the Sea of ​​Marmara, the rowers at the latitude of Troy were exhausted several times, struggling with the oncoming northern current coming from the Dardanelles Strait. Such a natural obstacle could allow Troy to firmly hold an important trade artery in its hands and levy tolls on merchant ships. The information we have confirms that the maritime tax was an important source of income for the Trojans. This also explains the presence of a large fleet and a spacious harbor. Currently, scientists using aviation and other equipment are looking for traces of the proposed canal to the inland port, 500 meters long.

An article by E. Milanovsky was published in one of the collections of Moscow State University, in which the author quite convincingly gives his version: “Many facts and details reported by Plato make it possible to identify the ancient metropolis of Atlantis, consisting of several rounded rings, as if “nested” into each other and horseshoe-shaped in terms of mountainous islands and polygenic straits, that is, for a long time and repeatedly active volcano central type." Each volcanic eruption was accompanied by partial subsidence of the central volcanic structure, which turned into a caldera - a basin left after the eruption. Repeated ejections of the volcano have piled up the calderas, like bowls of different diameters inserted into each other. The gaps between the edges of the bowls are those ring channels, if we talk about the structure of the port of Atlantis. From the standpoint of geology, we can reasonably assume that the island or archipelago described by Plato with a concentric relief structure and thermal springs and its sudden collapse into the depths of the sea, accompanied by an earthquake, tsunami and the appearance at the site of the failure of large masses of floating “fossilized mud” (pumice) are quite correspond to what has become known to geologists in the last 100-150 years."

In his works, E. Milanovsky sets out arguments in favor of the complete correspondence of geological events on the island of Thira to what Plato wrote about the catastrophe of Atlantis. He gives a detailed description of the ongoing excavations of the Tyrian city of Akrotiri, much like modern cities. The version of E. Milanovsky was recently confirmed by the Greek seismologist G. Galanopoulos. While studying the caldera on the island of Thira, he became convinced that a volcanic explosion of incredible force had occurred here, causing a tsunami up to 100 meters high. This wave washed away everything on the shores of the eastern Mediterranean.

The materials obtained by the famous underwater explorer J. Cousteau gave him the opportunity to build his own hypothesis: “The power of the Minoan empire rested on its seaside towns, conducting trade. Therefore, even if the palaces and cities located in the center of the island (Crete) were not damaged, if not all Cretans died (as well as the inhabitants of the Cretan colonies in Greece, the Cyclades or Asia Minor), if not all the fields were covered with ashes, the greatest civilization of King Minos was ended. They began to forget about Crete. The Cretans moved from real life into the realm of myth. They were turned into a semi-legendary people and expelled from history. In Egypt they became Atlanteans. Solon or Plato had already forgotten about the greatness of Crete when the story of the greatness and fall of Atlantis was written down from the lips of the priest of the goddess Neith. There is other evidence that speaks in favor of identifying Crete with Atlantis.” Further, the scientist refers to the Bible, which contains the parables “about the ten plagues of Egypt” set out in the book “Exodus”. The parables can be interpreted as describing the consequences of a grandiose catastrophe in the eastern Mediterranean.

The hypotheses of the Russian and French scientists, as much as possible, complement each other and work in the same direction. The question inevitably arises: what is the point in continuing the search for Atlantis in other places? I think it’s worth it, at least for science to gain new information about the life of our ancestors.

In 2000, the August issue of the Megapolis Express newspaper published a sensational article by Yevgeny Surkov, “But a piece of Atlantis has surfaced!” Due to its small volume and solid information content, I present it without abbreviations.

“echoes of strong underground tremors were recently recorded by seismological stations in Russia and Canada. They did not cause any particular concern: the epicenter of the earthquake was in a remote corner of the Arctic Ocean. In photographs taken from space, in the zone of natural disaster, the outlines of some unknown land were clearly visible.

However, this did not cause any surprise. As they explained to the correspondent of the Exotic News Agency at the Institute of Physics of the Earth, unexpected rises and falls of the planet's surface under the influence of underground forces often occur. And in general, it’s one thing when the earth sinks into the abyss of water, taking entire cities with it, and another thing when it rises small area bottom. What could be interesting here? But this time nature brought a surprise. An ancient civilization “surfaced” along with the “earth”.

Such an unusual event was witnessed by the crews of several ships sailing in a caravan from Murmansk to Pevek, accompanied by the icebreaker Ob. The sight of rising ice and “boiling” water plunged the crews into a state of mild shock.

- Look, Atlantis! – the watchman on the icebreaker suddenly shouted. In fact, right before the eyes of the sailors, an island with ruins emerged from the water. Massive columns in the Egyptian style were interspersed with gigantic buildings made of huge blocks. Piles of stone fragments stuck out from under the broken ice floes. The “streets” of the ancient city were filled with silty slurry that flowed into the ocean. Above all this chaos reigned a huge structure of regular geometric shape.

The captains of the ships gave the command “stop”. But even approaching the newborn island was out of the question: sometimes such “babies” behave too insidiously. Indeed, the sailors did not have to admire the fabulous spectacle for long. A few minutes later, shuddering, the island also suddenly began to slowly sink into the ocean.

The International Association for the Study of the Arctic Ocean (with headquarters in London) learned about what had happened only after the caravan returned to its home port. However, scientists interviewed eyewitnesses.

“It is reliably known,” commented the vice-president of the Russian branch of the association, Mikhail Buynov, “that it was in those latitudes that one and a half ten thousand years ago one of the highly developed cultures existed.” This is the so-called Arctida. Once, as a result of a global catastrophe, it was gradually flooded by the waters of the Arctic Ocean. However, evidence of it has been preserved in the myths of various peoples. Now, by a lucky coincidence, exactly that section of the bottom that archaeologists and historians have dreamed of for so long has risen from the deep.

By the way, seismologists predict a number of serious tectonic upheavals in the bottom of the Arctic Ocean in the near future. Therefore, the emergence of new islands with traces of Arctida between Spitsbergen and Franz Josef Land may resume.

The news of such an unusual find excited the scientific world. Any archaeologist dreams of finding the treasury of the ancient Aryans who inhabited Arctida. After all, according to legend, sacred knowledge written on gold sheets is stored in it. The Golden Library of the Aryans was located, according to the ancient traveler Pytheas, on the island of Thule, somewhere in the Spitsbergen region. According to Illinois Archaeological Institute Dr. Harry Smith, this is nothing more than a bank high technology, developed by one of the first civilizations on the planet. For those who master them, magic will become a simple routine.

A similar hypothesis is confirmed by another find. In 1935, Norwegian fishermen fishing in the Barents Sea discovered three “golden papyri” with unknown inscriptions among crabs and fish in their trawl. They disappeared during the occupation of Norway: apparently, the Germans tried to use them in their secret developments.

That is why the observation of Russian sailors interested not only scientists, but also the Russian General Staff. According to some reports, it was at his instigation that military experts are urgently calculating where the ruins of prehistoric cities may emerge in the near future. And the research ship “Georgy Sedov”, without wasting any time, set off to “patrol” the harsh waters of the Arctic.”

I cannot ignore one more version regarding the location of the legendary Atlantis. It is so customary in science that versions that belong exclusively to scientists are considered. Even the finds in Troy of Heinrich Schliemann were repeatedly called into question due to the “lack of learning” of the self-taught archaeologist. Despite this, Schliemann rendered an invaluable service to science by finding Troy and conducting excavations in Mycenae and other cities of antiquity. These circumstances forced the world of science to recognize the significance of his work.

In the port city of Novorossiysk lives our modest compatriot, who found his Troy and his Atlantis without leaving the city. V. Vladykin, having carried out a comparative analysis of all the above sources, came to the conclusion that in ancient times these objects were located on the territory of modern Novorossiysk. His analysis is striking in the depth of his research using the length measures of that time and the correspondence of the values ​​given in the works of ancient authors. It is impossible to argue with the logic and accuracy of the author. He found absolutely all signs of disappeared cities within and around Novorossiysk, including existing ones. thermal springs. In other countries such a person would be carried in their arms, but on historical places They would have erected buildings from the corresponding period and turned the city into a tourist Mecca, but things are still there...

The reluctance of the state to deal with such objects involuntarily leads to reflection: these facts do not fit into the plans of the Global Predictor, which determined our life according to the biblical concept. For the same reason, they continue to impose on us the history of Rus', limited by a thousand-year framework. I have always been outraged by the loose use of the words “prehistoric” and “antediluvian.” In S.I. Ozhegov’s dictionary, the first means “Belonging to the most ancient period, about which there is no written evidence,” and the second means “Outdated, old-fashioned, backward (lit.: existing before the mythical flood).” Thus, the Cretan-Minoan civilization, with its multi-story buildings equipped with water supply and sewerage on all floors of the buildings, corresponds to the prehistoric period. All the “incomprehensible” objects of antiquity that could not fit into the consciousness of the nomadic Arabian people also belong to this period. You will involuntarily believe in the meaning of the word “history”, which is interpreted as “from the Torah” and fits perfectly into the biblical concept.

Concluding our excursion to the possible locations of Atlantis, I would like to draw your attention to the presence of “Russian” components of this name “from lan ida” meaning “land cut off from the mainland” or sea and ocean islands, in contrast to small river islands-sich. That is why globalizers are afraid to conduct serious searches for ancient civilizations, because they belong exclusively to the Russian people. The descendants of the “earth men” cannot, even in their wildest fantasies, “fly away” beyond five and a half thousand years of their history, and here are tens and hundreds of thousands of years of flourishing civilizations...

PREFACE

In this study we will try, to the best of our ability and with hope in God’s help, to reveal a number of important but little-studied issues concerning the history and causes of the death of the antediluvian world, or, more precisely, perhaps, to say, the antediluvian civilization. In our opinion, there is every reason to consider this topic extremely relevant for modern people.

By the will of the Lord, today, to the extent necessary for us, the essence of the antediluvian civilization is revealed to us, that is, that civilization that was created on earth before the Flood, during which, as follows from the Bible, all humanity perished, except for the family of the righteous Noah. And the main thing that is revealed to us today is that the pre-Flood civilization was not just opposed to God, but downright anti-God, that it began the construction of a global occult-Satanic system aimed at the implementation of some kind of God-fighting, Satanic project. That is why the Lord God destroyed this civilization, causing a flood of water to cover the entire earth, so that almost the entire territory in which the objects built by that civilization were located still remains under water. After all, before the flood, as stated in the Third Book of Ezra, water occupied only one-seventh of the earth’s surface, but now it occupies two-thirds.

Why right now do we need to know the essence of the civilization that perished during the Flood and about the projects that were implemented in it? Because in our time, when the end of the world is near, active implementation of the same satanic program has begun, the same atheistic plans and projects that were before the flood - only, naturally, with the addition of the use of modern methods and means. And the general, strategic plan is a plan to create a global satanic religion, i.e. by the “reign” of Satan over humanity, universal worship of him and recognition of him as the “god of the Earth.”

But God will give us more details about this, let’s say later, closer to the end of our study. Let's start our research with this - with the pyramids.

1. PYRAMIDS

We know from school that there are pyramids in Egypt. They stretch for tens of kilometers south of Cairo. The highest and most famous - “ great pyramid» Cheops, its height is 146 meters (before construction in 1889 Eiffel Tower The Cheops Pyramid was considered the tallest structure on earth). Of the so-called “seven wonders of the world,” this pyramid is the oldest and only “miracle” that has survived to this day. School textbooks say that the Egyptian pyramids were built by slaves and are nothing more than places of worship- tombs intended for the burial of pharaohs. Actually this is not true.

As studies conducted by Egyptologists and other scientists show, even many thousands of slaves could not erect such structures. In addition, no one found not only mummies in the pyramids, but nothing at all confirming the theory of tombs and only tombs[i]. Indeed, it is difficult to imagine that such huge structures were erected just to bury one person (even a pharaoh). Many modern scientists, categorically disagreeing with the theory of tombs, put forward other versions, which, in their opinion, can fundamentally shake the generally accepted ideas about the history of mankind.

Careful measurements of the spatial position and parameters of the pyramids, carried out by many researchers, have provided amazing information. Thus, in pyramids, the ratio of the length of the side of the base to the height is the proportion of the “golden ratio” (which provides the pyramids with a powerful energy effect, recognized by all researchers). The perimeter of the pyramid divided by twice the height gives the number pi. Various inexplicable phenomena have been repeatedly observed near the pyramids and inside them. Inside the pyramids, during experiments, points were found that were favorable for health, or vice versa - depressing living organisms.

It should be noted that currently there is a general increase in interest in pyramids - this “gift ancient civilizations" Recently, many books and articles have appeared in the foreign and domestic press devoted to the extraordinary properties of ancient and modern pyramids (see, for example: Yu. O. Lipovsky, “Pyramids heal and protect”; “Pyramids and a pendulum to guard your health: Practical guidance for use").

Office and residential buildings and other structures (gazebos, etc.) of a pyramidal shape are built, pyramids and pyramids of different sizes are made from various materials (glass, plastic, plywood, metals, natural stone). Someone places blades in pyramids made like Egyptian ones (i.e., maintaining the same proportions), and they sharpen themselves (scientific publications have also written about this phenomenon), someone germinates seeds in pyramids, hoping for better results. O germination and yield are higher than usual, some preserve perishable products in the same way, others “charge” water, creams and other cosmetics. It is believed that the pyramids bring healing to the physical body and increase the level of human spirituality, protect against geopathogenic radiation (for example, from harmful radiation from computers and cell phones), protect, remove “damage” and other negative influences, and develop “clairvoyance.” But in most publications on this topic, a (very appropriate) disclaimer is made that if the pyramids are used “incorrectly,” harm to health can be caused, etc.

But let's return to the Egyptian pyramids. Everything suggests that they were not built by primitive manual forced labor, but thanks to the use of very developed, fantastic (in the words of modern experts) construction technologies: almost perfect right angles, incredible symmetry of four huge faces, amazing creation and processing technologies huge number stone blocks weighing from 2.5 to 15 tons or more. Some stones are made from very hard rocks (granite, quartzite, basalt, etc.).

There are monoliths in Egypt, carved from solid rock and processed, weighing 800 and even 1000 tons (these are gigantic weights). The dimensions of the blocks from which the pyramids are made are maintained with an accuracy of about 0.2 mm, the blocks are smoothly polished on all sides, and the joints are adjusted (without using any cementing material) so that even a needle cannot be inserted into them.

Research conducted by modern professional builders has shown that the pyramid builders had some unimaginable tools. Thus, examining holes in granite blocks, experts came to the conclusion that the drills of the pyramid builders were 500 times more powerful than the most powerful modern drills. The builders of the pyramids could, with amazing speed and ease, not only carve out huge stone blocks, but also cut into solid rocks like butter (researchers even coined the expression: “plasticine technology”). Some are inclined to believe that the builders of the pyramids were able to move and lift enormous weights to heights because they had at their disposal levitation technology, which the myths and traditions of many peoples of the world allegedly speak about.

Some researchers believe that the builders of the pyramids were able to influence the wave nature of the stone, counteracting gravity.

Modern science is forced to admit not only that it does not know what technologies the pyramid builders used to achieve such results, but also that it is now impossible to achieve such results using even the most advanced scientific developments. How did the ancient Egyptians, who did not have cranes, trucks, other construction equipment and special equipment, mine huge stone blocks, transport them over long distances, process them at a higher level than the modern technical level, and lift them to great heights? What force - spiritual, political or economic - pushed the ancient Egyptians to such monumental work? And if not the Egyptians, then who created the pyramids? And what is their true purpose? All this is still considered " greatest mystery» humanity. Let us try, with God's help, to make this secret clear to some extent.

2. UNITED PREDFLOOD CIVILIZATION

First of all, it is important for us to know that Egypt is not the only place, on which the pyramids remained. Similar structures have been found in many other places on the planet.: in Mexico, in South America, in China, in India, in countries South-East Asia, at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, the Sea of ​​Japan... All this suggests that it was a single, global civilization.

Almost every culture has legends about sunken cities and continents, about ancient developed civilizations lying on the ocean floor, about supermen, “cities of the gods,” about a global catastrophe (flood) that our planet experienced several thousand years ago. " When the gods were angry with the people they created, the land in which these people lived sank under water,” it is said, for example, in one ancient Egyptian papyrus (dating back to the end of the second millennium BC) . In fact, almost all of these legends (myths, tales, traditions) speak of one civilization - antediluvian.Numerous finds, theories and assumptions of “atlantologists” - seekers of the lost Atlantis, as well as Lemuria, Mu, etc., speak about it. Remains of antediluvian civilization are scattered around the world. These are not only grandiose pyramids, but also other inexplicable objects: numerous monuments, obelisks, megaliths and other structures, undeciphered writings, ancient maps, giant ground-based geometric figures and lines, amazing images and objects. Among the most famous mysterious objects: statues on Easter Island, Stonehenge in England.

To create Stonehenge, stone blocks of 5 and 25 tons and several slabs of 50 tons (with a processed, polished surface) were used. And these huge builders not only brought them from afar (it is believed that they were more than two hundred kilometers away, because the building material that was used in the construction of Stonehenge cannot be found closer), but also dug huge long stones into the soil, installing them vertically. Stonehenge translated from Old English means “hanging stones.” In ancient times it was also called “The Dance of the Giants” and its creation was attributed to the sorcerer Merlin, a mythological character in British legends.

According to legends, the stones of Stonehenge were transported through the air - this may be an indication of some ancient levitation technology. In the 60s of the last century, astronomer Gerald Hopkins put forward a hypothesis and very convincingly substantiated it: he suggested that Stonehenge is an ancient astronomical observatory. Some believe it was a computer center. Megalithic structures, similar to Stonehenge, exist in many other places in the world (“stonehenges” in Egypt, America, Yemen, Russia and other countries).

On Easter Island, located in the eastern part Pacific Ocean, there are more than a thousand giant stone statues - some of them reach the height of a five-story building and weigh more than 100 tons. Researchers are perplexed: how could the ancient islanders create and move such massive works? And the legends of the Indian tribe living on the island say: the statues themselves came from the quarry in which they were carved, they were moved by a certain mysterious power- manu. Also in legends there are many references to strange bird people who descended from the sky; From these legends it follows that the bird people had advanced flight technology.

At the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in the very center of the Bermuda Triangle in the early 1990s, a giant pyramid was discovered - it is three times larger famous pyramid Cheops. Perhaps this underwater object is the key to solving the “mystery of the Bermuda Triangle,” that is, the inexplicable phenomenon of the disappearance of ships and aircraft in this “anomalous zone.” The edges of the pyramid are made of a material similar to glass or polished ceramics (it can hardly be a mere coincidence that this is exactly how the Egyptian pyramid of Cheops was described in Arabic sources, the cladding of which sparkled in the sun). The famous American atlantologist Charles Berlitz writes in his books: the pyramid in Bermuda Triangle has existed since the times of Atlantis, and in the frame of this pyramid there is some kind of very powerful energy installation.

It turns out that China also has huge pyramids. Several dozen of these ancient structures are located in the middle of agricultural fields a few kilometers west of the city of Xianyang. Their height is greater than that of Egyptian pyramids, the highest is 300 m (i.e., twice as high as the Cheops pyramid).

Why don’t the Chinese announce loudly and to the whole world about the existence in China of such grandiose objects, which seem to expressly testify to how great and developed the ancient Chinese culture was? Yes, because, first of all, they know that it was not the Chinese who built the pyramids located in China - just like not the Egyptians in Egypt, not the Mayans and Aztecs in Mexico, not the Incas in Peru, etc. For many years, the Chinese authorities deliberately concealed the existence of a large number of pyramids in China. Only in 1997, the German archaeologist Hartwig Hausdorff managed to obtain the consent of the authorities and visit the Chinese “Valley of the Pyramids”. One of China's leading archaeologists, Professor Khia Nai, believes that these pyramids are not being explored today because “this is work for future generations.” Some researchers believe that Chinese scientists are afraid to invade the pyramids for fear of finding something there that could change all our ideas about life on Earth. Chinese archaeologist Wong Shiping claims that the pyramids are located in accordance with astronomical aspects and are an example of the incredible knowledge of geometry and mathematics that ancient people had.

From here it is clear how weak the “traditional” explanation of the purpose of the pyramids, proposed by “Egyptologists with Chinese characteristics,” looks - as “the tombs of Chinese emperors.” According to more serious researchers, pyramids are only part of a gigantic system“holy lines”, known in China as “feng shui”[v]. In ancient scrolls five thousand years old, researchers find information according to which the authors grandiose project, of which the pyramids are part, there were the so-called “sons of heaven”, who several thousand years ago descended to earth on their metal “fire-breathing dragons”.

The “Sons of Heaven” (like the “bird people” from the legends of the Indian tribe living on Easter Island) are, presumably, either antediluvian pyramid builders who could have aircrafts(There is archaeological finds, indicating this), or simply demons, which, as stated in the Holy Scriptures, can appear to people in the form of “angels of light” for more convenient seduction.

There are pyramids in the region of Tibet and the Himalayas. Doctor of Medical Sciences Ernst Muldashev, who studied Tibet, believes that Mount Kailash, similar to a 7-kilometer artificial super-pyramid, was once the North Pole, and Easter Island was located at the opposite end of the planet. If you mentally connect Mount Kailash with the Egyptian pyramids with one line and go further along the meridian, then the straight line will go straight to Easter Island. If you connect Easter Island with the Mexican pyramids, then the straight line will lead to Mount Kailash. In 1996, E. Muldashev organized an international trans-Himalayan expedition, which collected unique material confirming the existence of the “Atlantean civilization,” or more correctly, antediluvian civilization. The main books of E. Muldashev: “From whom we came,” “In search of the city of the gods.”

“Every educated person has heard legends about the powerful Atlanteans who lived on earth in time immemorial,” writes E. Muldasheva in the book “From Who We Came From.” - Special literature (H.P. Blavatsky, Eastern religions, etc.) says that before us there were several civilizations on Earth, the level of development of which was significantly higher than ours... Nostradamus wrote (1555) that the people of the previous civilization, whom He called the Atlanteans, who, through their “third eye,” had a bioenergetic effect on gravity. Therefore, they could easily carry huge stone blocks in space, build pyramids and other stone monuments from them... It is difficult to say who built the pyramids. But it cannot be ruled out that they were built by the Atlanteans even before the era of modern people. Let the Egyptians and Mexicans not be offended, but it is quite possible that they did not build the pyramids - their ancestors simply came to the land of the pyramids and began to live next to the stone colossi... I read from the same Nostradamus that as a result of a global catastrophe(i.e. the Flood. - Auto.), which destroyed the Atlanteans, the Earth’s rotation axis changed and the poles shifted.”

This last statement seems to be consistent with what Christian creation scientists say about the consequences of the Flood. However, we, of course, must not forget that the revelations of such “great initiates and clairvoyants” as Nostradamus, Blavatsky, Vanga (who, it seems, also spoke about an ancient highly developed civilization) should always be treated critically, because, as warns us Orthodox Church, these “prophets” are not from God.

In Mexico, one of the places where pyramids were discovered is ancient city Aztec Teotihuacan. Czech archaeologist Miroslav Stingl in his book “Secrets of the Indian Pyramids” talks about his impressions of visiting Teotihuacan: “The local pyramids literally stunned me with their gigantic size. No wonder according to the Aztecs who lived in these places a thousand years after their construction, Atlanteans built the pyramids- kiname". The substantiation of the hypothesis according to which the builders of the Indian pyramids were not Indians, but the “legendary Atlanteans” (i.e., antediluvian pyramid builders), can be found in other studies. For example, in the notes of Paul Stonehill (USA) “ Egyptian secrets Mexico."

Teotihuacan translated into Russian means: “the place where the gods touched the earth.” It seems that the explanation for this name is simple: the Indians (pagans) once came to this place (to know exactly when this happened is not of great importance to us; the main thing is that it was, of course, many years after the Flood) , saw grandiose miraculous structures, made a “logical” (from the point of view of a primitive pagan) conclusion that all these communities were built and “gods” lived here, and began to use these structures for religious purposes, for which they built superstructures (temples, altars, etc.) and set up idols - to honor the “deities”, i.e. demons.

The Bible says that the gods of the pagans are demons. Among the Mayan peoples, the main deity and mythical creator of civilization is the flying serpent Quetzalcoatl, that is, presumably, Satan. In general, the Mayans were a rude and cruel people, and their culture was primitive. They practiced human sacrifices, during which the priests removed the still beating heart from the victim's chest and showed it to the cheering crowd. Not all experts agree that the ancient Indians are related to astronomical measurements. The Indians' homes were simple wigwams. And scientists are still wondering: why and where did the Indians leave their cities in which they built such monumental structures (pyramids, etc.)? But the fact of the matter is that it was not the Indians who erected them. According to Indian legends, the pyramids were built by people who had magical powers. From the ruins of Indian religious and other structures built on ancient powerful foundations, it is clear that these superstructures were built from unprocessed or primitively processed small stones, held together with clay mortar.

That’s the whole “secret” of the “great ancient civilizations” of the Aztecs, Mayans and Incas.

3. GLOBAL ENERGY INFORMATION SYSTEM?

All of the above (and many more) amazing information about the pyramids gave rise to many researchers to put forward the following explanation. Since it is clear that the pyramids were not built by the ancient Egyptians, Indians, Chinese, etc., it should be concluded that they were created by some ancient highly developed civilization; and the pyramids did not serve a funeral function, but were built as energy-information structures, forming in their totality a certain global system, an energy information network.

According to some, this civilization is extraterrestrial. This opinion underlies the so-called theory of paleovisits, or visits of ancient astronauts. Also in late XIX- at the beginning of the 20th century, C. Ford (USA), K. E. Tsiolkovsky and N. A. Rynin (Russia) expressed the idea: traces of the visit and creation of space aliens should remain in the monuments of the most ancient culture of mankind. Adherents of this theory claim that aliens, like the true builders of the pyramids, encrypted some valuable information in their creations. In general, fantasies on the topic of the extraterrestrial origin of the pyramids are diverse. For example, according to one version: aliens flew to Earth, built pyramids and other mysterious objects, and then either went home or were destroyed by “earthlings.” But there is this option: aliens destroyed the civilization of earthlings that built the pyramids, and all of today’s humanity allegedly descended from those aliens.

This article is dedicated to the disappeared continent of Atlantis.

Atlantis is one of the darkest mysteries of our time: an island that didn't exist or an island that sank?

« Atlantis (ancient Greek Ἀτλαντὶς) is a mythical island-state. N The most detailed description of Atlantis is known from the dialogues of Plato of Athens; mentions and comments of Herodotus, Diodorus Siculus, Posidonius, Strabo, and Proclus are also known.

The testimony of the ancients about the location of Atlantis is uncertain.

According to Plato, the island was located to the west of the Pillars of Hercules, opposite the Atlanta Mountains. During a strong earthquake, accompanied by a flood, the island was swallowed up by the sea in one day along with its inhabitants - the Atlanteans. Plato gives the time of the catastrophe as "9000 years ago", that is, about 9500 BC. e.

Interest in stories about Atlantis began during the Renaissance. In modern science, questions about the existence of Atlantis are controversial. There is a doctrine of atlantology, specially developed in the late 1950s. People involved in searching and summarizing any information about Atlantis are called atlantologists.

Atlantis is a popular subject in art."

There are NO reliable sources and evidence that Atlantis existed. There is evidence of those who lived in times not far from the life of Atlantis, there are assumptions, there is “ undersea world", a city in the ocean on the site of the supposed island(s), there are thousands of theories and legends about how everything was and where the continent disappeared, but there is no clear answer and convincing evidence that Atlantis existed.

Phrases from the film “National Geographic: “We consider the arguments of adherents and skeptics equally ...”, “A place where many generations lived in prosperity of equality”, “Then, over the course of one night, the island and its inhabitants sank to the bottom.”

It is believed that the continent was equal in size to Asia, consisting of fertile plains with a palace surrounded by moats in the middle. This island was a paradise created by the son of the Greek god Poseidon. The venerable residents worshiped bulls, feasted on coconuts, and walked with elephants. But the divine traits were supplanted by human nature, and they became warlike and greedy. Then, within one day and one night, as a result of an earthquake and flood, Atlantis sank to the bottom. This is a great legend, but how reliable is it? Some are confident in the existence of Atlantis.

The conviction of adherents of the idea of ​​the reality of the continent is not limited to the belief in the existence of Atlantis; some also believe that the Atlanteans (the inhabitants of Atlantis) survived and later left a historical, architectural, and cultural heritage in the form of various monuments.

The most likely assumption is that Atlantis was located in the Mediterranean Sea, the location is indicated on the maps. The most common versions: Strait of Gibraaltar, lake bottom Dominican Republic, the Canary Islands, the Ozores and, in principle, any point in the world... The Atlantic Ocean most succinctly fits the size of the island described by Plato (the central island is 3000 × 2000 stadia (530 × 350 km)), a number of researchers agree with this.

Plato does not give an exact answer regarding the existence of Atlantis, but describes the island in detail in the dialogues: “Timaeus” (briefly) and “Critius” (more extensively).

The Legend of Atlantis. Ancient world: Atlantis - myths and scientific hypotheses:

So, many versions, information, assumptions about the existence of Atlantis as a cornerstone rest on the search for a specific place where the island was, in the search for evidence of the reality of the island. There are a lot of studies, theories, films, articles on this issue, but no one has yet established the exact location of Atlantis, much less found irrefutable evidence of the existence of the island.

But the mythical touch, or better yet, the mystical, leaves an alluring trail of attraction and increases interest in one of the most global mysteries of modernity and the prehistoric period. Legends, prototypes, inexplicable phenomena, beautiful stories- that's what surrounds this island. What worries people so much and keeps Atlantis from sinking to the bottom in the memory and imagination of many?

The fact is that this continent is connected (or people themselves have connected it) with many things that are absolutely important for humanity. Therefore, about the list of evidence of the reality of Atlantis, historical facts We won’t talk further - why list something that is described in thousands of articles and mentioned in millions of sources? We will talk about the philosophical aspect of the existence of Atlantis.

From the film (link above): “A healthy dose of skepticism will not hurt us. Perhaps Plato invented Atlantis to show the political and ethical side of violence, aggression, greed ... but deep down I want to believe that Plato simply inspired the folk legends about the destruction of the high culture of the island of Thira.

Is Atlantis just a fiction? But then why was it invented? Probably because people, even according to well-known psychological facts, need faith in something mystical, global-historical, in the existence of a grandiose past (sunk in one day), a higher race, a superman, superpowers, treasures and chests with gold and noble relics under earth. Therefore, there are myths, legends, and science fiction that inspire people with hope and support faith in all other legends. Bermuda Triangle, Mariana Trench, Atlantis, The spools of the Cheops Pyramids…

“The most common opinion among historians and especially philologists is that the story of Atlantis is a typical philosophical myth, examples of which are replete with Plato’s dialogues. Indeed, Plato, unlike Aristotle and even more so historians, never set as his goal the message to the reader of any real facts, but only ideas illustrated by philosophical myths. To the extent that the story is verifiable, it is not supported by all available archaeological material.

Indeed, there are no traces of any advanced civilization in Greece or in western Europe and Africa, either at the end of the glacial and post-glacial periods, or in the subsequent millennia.

As for the death of Atlantis, it is obvious that, having invented this country, Plato had to destroy it simply for external plausibility (to explain the absence of traces of such a civilization in the modern era). That is, the picture of the death of Atlantis is dictated entirely by the internal tasks of the text.”

Atlantis, in addition to scientific, theosophical, philosophical, psychological reasons for its appearance, also has more banal ones - we need Atlantis, we simply need it, on an everyday and dreamy level.

“The myth of Atlantis gives enormous scope for imagination; we dream of an ideal society where people live peacefully and amicably... We wonder why, if people lived like this before, we can’t live the same way today?”

This island is a prototype of Paradise after the Fall... the Atlanteans lived there - people with superpowers, they were looking for the origins of a higher race, Atlantis is called the cradle of the world, world culture.

Sometimes assumptions arise that if they eventually found Atlantis and reliably established that it existed, everyone would be disappointed: you never know, maybe a couple of pegs and ruins stuck out at the bottom of the sea. And so - emptiness, abyss, everything and nothing - space for imagination and admiration.

Both fiction and complete acceptance of the existence of the island are two extremes, which essentially give nothing to mere mortals. What, for example, did Atlantis exist for the villagers today or not? As for the great cultural heritage to the population of impoverished areas of Africa, where people are dying of hunger?

But in general for the world (for the scientific, prosperous part of the population) - Atlantis is a separate planet, with values ​​that cannot be found today, people-geniuses lived there - Atlanteans, who made achievements and discoveries incomparable even with the modern century, and confirmation of the fact of existence Atlantis would radically change the whole history.

Therefore, according to adherents of the idea of ​​​​the reality of the continent, it is worth believing that the island was worth it, if only because it gives hope that in the future we will be able to achieve more than the Atlanteans.

None of us can either deny or confirm the existence of the island in the past. Therefore, different versions have the right to life - not only those saying that Atlantis is a fiction.

Helena Blavatsky saw Atlantis as far from being a myth; moreover, the island, in Blavatsky’s opinion, was considered a myth by narrow-minded and uninitiated people. And other followers of mystical teachings gave Atlantis a special place in world history:

“In the book of H. P. Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine, it is stated that the evolution of the Fourth Root Race, which preceded modern humanity, took place in Atlantis.

In 1882, the famous theosophist A.P. Sinnett stated that he allegedly received an answer to his questions about Atlantis from the Tibetan Mahatma K.H. K.H. wrote:

“The subsidence of Atlantis (a group of continents and islands) began during the Miocene period - (as now, there is a gradual subsidence of some of your continents) - and it reached highest point first in the final disappearance of the largest continent - an event that coincided with the rise of the Alps, then came the turn of the last of the islands mentioned by Plato.

The Egyptian priests of Sais told Solon that Atlantis (the only remaining big Island) died 9000 years before their time. This was not an imaginary number, for they had carefully guarded their achievements for thousands of years. But then, I say, they only mentioned Poseidonis, and would never have revealed their secret chronology even to the great Greek legislator...

The great event - the triumph of our “Sons of Light”, the inhabitants of Shambhala (then an island in the Central Asian Sea) over the selfish - if not completely vicious - magicians of Poseidonis happened exactly 11,446 years ago. Read the incomplete and partially veiled explanation in this regard in Isis, Volume 1, and some things will become clearer to you.”

Theosophists believe that the Atlantean civilization reached its peak between 1,000,000 and 900,000 years ago, but collapsed due to internal contradictions and wars resulting from the illegal use of magical powers by the Atlanteans.

W. Scott-Elliot, in The History of Atlantis (1896), states that Atlantis eventually split into two big islands, one of which was called Daitya and the other Ruta, which was later reduced to the last remnant known as Poseidonis.

Charles Leadbeater claims that in Tibet there is an occult museum that contains samples of the cultures of all civilizations that have ever existed on Earth, including the civilization of Atlantis.

The four maps of the continent, showing the history of its destruction, included in Scott-Elliot's History of Atlantis, are copies of maps from the Tibetan museum mentioned."

In addition, a number of researchers talk about the cyclical nature of earthly processes and phenomena, about the patterns of certain events. For example, that previously the percentage of land was much higher, many cities went under water, and Atlantis also disappeared. And also: Atlantis, how

the world during the global flood, like Sodom and Gomorrah and many other “sinful” areas with a concentration of “corrupt” people, went under water precisely in order to punish from above for its corruption.

After all, many say that the inhabitants of the island lost human dignity, committed lawlessness, went mad with power, subjugated nearby areas, wanted more, having already had so much - for which they paid. This story has both a moralizing and philosophical meaning: people are always people, they are not perfect, money, wealth, power spoil everyone. And even the most beautiful paradise will always collapse, because at the root of human nature lies a deviation from virtues.

Excerpt from the book “Atlantis Unveiled” by E. Blavatsky:

“These people [initiates] believed in the story of Atlantis, they knew that it was not a fable, and they argued that in various eras of the past, huge islands and even continents existed where now only deserted waters rage.

In their sunken temples and libraries the archaeologist would find, if he could explore, materials to fill in the gaps in what we imagine to be history.

It is said that in a distant era a traveler could cross what is now the Atlantic Ocean almost its entire length by land, moving only by boat from one island to another, where at that time there were only narrow straits.”


Atlantis! One word is enough to evoke images of mermaids, underwater cities, sunken ruins. But that's not all: the main image that this word evokes is an ancient, technologically advanced civilization that perished at the whim of unkind gods or due to its own carelessness.

Where did the idea of ​​Atlantis come from? Was this a real place, or just an old fairy tale?

The story of Atlantis begins with ancient Greek philosophy, then finds its way into a literary movement inspired by Christopher Columbus, before its popularity soars again when a Minnesota congressman decides to try his hand at science and linguistics. Add to this considerable interest on the part of the leaders of the Third Reich and countless pseudoscientific theories. And yet, today there are a huge number of people who are still hunting for the lost continent.

Prepare for a deep dive into the history of the sunken city of Atlantis.

To understand the origins of Atlantis, you need to know a little about the Greek philosopher Plato. He lived in Greece in the 5th century BC, and it was on his work that Socrates built his philosophy. He is without a doubt the most famous and influential philosopher of all time.

Plato introduced the idea of ​​a lost continent called Atlantis in his writings. Plato describes Atlantis as a large continent. According to him, Atlantis was originally a rather bizarre place that Poseidon himself loved.

The state was headed by kings who worked in alliance with each other, making the state a powerful formation. However, 9000 years before the time of Plato, the Atlanteans became too warlike, which angered the gods. And they, as Plato assures, sent the state to the bottom.

Etymology and mythology

According to the myth presented by Plato, the Greek gods at the dawn of time divided the lands among themselves, and Poseidon got Atlantis. There he fell in love with the girl Clito, whom he “protected” by taking her to a cave surrounded by ring-shaped mountains and the sea.

Presumably, this “care” protected Clito from escaping. And she, it is worth noting, had something to run from: she gave birth to Poseidon 5 pairs of twins, and they were just huge children. The eldest of them, Atlas, was appointed the rightful king of this place. The entire island nation was named after him. Plato claims that the Atlantic Ocean was named in honor of this ancient king (however, modern science has a different version and connects the name of the ocean with the Atlas Mountains).

Allegory

The story of Atlantis is an allegory, a kind of extended metaphor, whose hidden meaning reveals a deeper philosophical point. Plato uses this move quite often, and perhaps his most famous example is the "Myth of the Cave", which he uses to explain his theory of forms.

In this case, Plato's allegory is associated with the idea of ​​an ideal state. Atlantis appears as the anti-Athena. Her ambitious war plans end in failure.

Utopian literature

Plato's works had a great influence on medieval philosophy, but scientists sometimes find it difficult to understand where the ancient thinker is serious and where he uses artistic techniques.

The discovery by Europeans of land west of Gibraltar opened up completely new world, expanded the boundaries of what was possible. Utopian literature established the existence of previously unknown worlds whose cultures and morals were presented as different from "normal" European ones. The idea of ​​Atlantis received a new twist.

One such work, Francis Bacon's New Atlantis, revived interest in the lost continent. At the time, European settlers were trying to learn more about the origins and mysteries of the Indian peoples, and Bacon's work helped spark the idea that the Mayans were descendants of the Atlanteans.

Proposed locations

The next significant event is the 1882 book “Atlantis: The Antediluvian World” by Ignatius Donnelly.

Donnelly uses some really sophisticated linguistics combined with the racist theories of Mayanism to suggest that not only was Atlantis real, it was also the ancestral home of all humanity.

His ideas became extremely popular and people soon began searching for the real location of Atlantis. Even real islands – Sardinia and Crete – were included in the list of “suspects”. Plato left a too vague definition: “west of Gibraltar.” Therefore, the geography of the search was quite extensive.

In art and literature

Since Donnelly's book, Atlantis has been referenced throughout popular culture and art. At that time, science fiction was beginning to emerge as a genre. Thanks to this, we got Captain Nemo, who found a sunken continent 20,000 leagues under the sea. The plot was addressed in their works by Edgar Burroughs (“The Lost Continent”), Alexey Tolstoy (“Aelita”), Arthur Conan Doyle (“Marakot’s Abyss”), Kir Bulychev (“The End of Atlantis”), Andrea Norton (“Operation Search in time"") and many others.

Dozens of films have depicted life on the mysterious continent, including Disney's 2001 Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

The most chilling example is the opera "Emperor of Atlantis", which alludes to Hitler, and was written by a prisoner in a concentration camp.

Occultism

One of the main works of Theosophy is the “Secret Doctrine” of H. P. Blavatsky, which, according to Helena herself, was dictated to her in Atlantis.

Blavatsky's Atlantis differs from Plato's. To her, the Atlanteans were heroic figures who existed a million years ago and were destroyed for their careless use of magic.

Nazis

The 1985 book The Occult Roots of Nazism describes how Nazi philosophy had connections to Ariosophy, a white nationalist occult philosophy. According to The Independent, SS chief Heinrich Himmler sought the Holy Grail to prove Christ's Aryan origins.

The seminal works of Nazi philosophy include Alfred Rosenberg's Myth of the Twentieth Century, based on a racial theory that posits that modern white Europeans are descended from Hyperboreans who emerged from Atlantis.

Reliable data on research into the Third Reich is extremely scarce. But it is reliably known that they were carried out.

Other Lost and Sunken Lands

Atlantis is called the most famous lost continent. But she is not the only one of her kind. In fact, there are some pretty shocking facts about other landmass. To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, we can say that the loss of one continent is a misfortune; and the loss of a dozen is just a statistic.

One of the most famous continents that was lost is Lemuria. This version was first put forward by British zoologist Philip Lutley Sclater to explain why the ranges of lemur-like animals are separated by oceans. This idea never received any real scientific treatment, but thanks to the mention of Blavatsky, it became firmly entrenched in popular culture.

The Lost Continent of Mu was an attempt to explain the similarities between distant cultures (such as the pyramids in Egypt and Central America) before aliens were brought into the story.

An ancient legend said that off the coast of Ireland there was an island called Hy-Brasil, which mysteriously appeared once every seven years before one day sank into the abyss forever. Note that, despite the similarity in names, this is not at all connected with real Brazil.

Bad news

Let's remember the fact that there is no historical evidence of the existence of the mysterious continent. And thousands of researchers returned from expeditions with nothing. In truth, scientists have more facts to refute the myth than to prove it. Modern science has absolutely no reliable facts that could reassure those who are fascinated by Atlantis.

But this is not enough. Man continues to believe that one day the secret of the depths will be revealed, and ancient continent will appear in all its glory.

As we have seen, the theme of many early books about the Maya was their connection with the so-called lost civilization of Atlantis. This idea, popular among esotericists, caused laughter or irritation among professional archaeologists in Central America. But should the version of Atlantis be dismissed simply as a myth, or are there still some facts behind this legend? I was ready to accept new views on this problem.

Plato was the first to mention Atlantis, who briefly recounted its history in the works Critias and Timaeus. He reports that it was told about it to the Athenian legislator Solon during a visit to Egypt. Critias, one of Plato's characters, retells this story to Socrates as if he had heard it from his grandfather, and this story is very reminiscent of the Mayan legends about repeated cataclysms on Earth. The Egyptian priest tells Solon that they know much more about the history of the world than the Greeks:

“You remember only one Flood6, but there were several of them. You and your fellow citizens are descended from the few surviving people, but you know nothing about it, because for many generations no one wrote down stories about the events.”7

According to Plato, there was once a continent where the middle part of the Atlantic Ocean once stood, and it was the Athenians who repelled the invasion from that continent into Europe and Africa:

“One of the chronicles tells how your city repelled the invasion of numerous enemies who came from the land in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, who were rushing into the cities of Europe and Asia. In those days, ships sailed the Atlantic. Opposite the strait, which you call the “Pillars of Hercules,” there was a huge island, larger than Libya and Asia* put together, and from there travelers could reach other islands, and from there the mainland on the opposite side of the Earth, surrounded by ocean.”8

What happened to Atlantis and did it even exist?

Atlantis is an antediluvian world that disappeared as a result of the flood, except for Noah's family. The most interesting world, about which there is practically no information, except for those found in the Bible. In particular, it is known that people during this period lived up to 1000 years, were much stronger, disproportionately healthy, strong, and larger, just as all the fauna and flora of the earth were stronger and larger. Land occupied 6/7 of the earth. The climate was mild tropical, there was no rain, and the earth was moistened with steam due to the fact that the entire surface of the earth was covered with a layer of icy water, which protected the earth from various harmful effects, for example, from radiation. This protective layer disappeared during the flood and people began to see stars. Antediluvian people did not eat meat, only fruits, vegetables, and cereals, which grew in abundance in such a wonderful climate. The earth was illuminated by lamps hanging in the sky, because the sun was separated from the earth by a layer of ice and apparently did not shine so brightly, or maybe it was not visible at all. Due to long life, people managed to do a lot, science developed. Now they have begun to find certain objects from the antediluvian civilization, and there are many of them, shocking our contemporaries with how perfect, technical, and far superior they are to all the technologies available in the modern world. These people supposedly could fly on some kind of aircraft, learned to easily move large objects, for example, the idols of Easter Island, or the facing slabs of the Egyptian pyramids, very precisely fitted to each other, and much more.

History of Atlantis

ATLANTIS is a huge island or continent that once existed possibly in the Atlantic Ocean west of Gibraltar. The earliest writings of Atlantis that have come down to us are the works of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, Timaeus and Critias. 12 thousand years ago, the descent of the continent, which he called Atlantis, ended, which was a fairly large island, rich in minerals and a variety of fauna. To the south was a plain measuring approximately 370 by 550 km, and between the sea and the plain was the city-state of Atlantis.

At the head of the country was the Supreme Ruler Atlas. The Atlanteans sought to expand their influence over their neighbors, to subjugate them, using their knowledge, unattainable even in our time, and the possibility of implementing it in deadly weapons. But. Several strong earthquakes split the island, and it went into the ocean. Even before the catastrophe predicted by the Atlanteans themselves, they moved to neighboring lands. A special caste of knowledge keepers brought them through many centuries to the great mysteries, schools of higher initiation in Egypt, Greece and Tibet.

Even in the time of Plato, the statement about the Atlantean civilization dying 11-12 thousand years ago was cruelly ridiculed since, according to Christian concepts, no one and nothing in the Universe existed until the year of the creation of the world - 5508 BC. Criticizing his teacher on this issue, Aristotle said his famous phrase: “Plato is my friend, but the truth is dearer.” Plato himself claimed that he learned details about the lost civilization from ancient sources. A revival of interest in this topic occurred in 1882-1883, when the American scientist Ignatius DONELLI wrote the books “Atlantis - the Antediluvian World” and “Ragnarrok - the Age of Fire and Death.” According to legends, it was a fertile, densely populated land that sank to the bottom due to some cataclysm. Questions about the existence and causes of the death of Atlantis remain controversial in science.

Dozens of hypotheses have been put forward about the location of the sunken continent; among the most probable are the areas of the current Azores and the islands of Santorini, Crete, Ascension. Among the heirs of the highly developed Atlantean culture are the Egyptians, American Indians and even the Slavs. The name of Atlantis and the sunken equipment of the Atlanteans are sometimes associated with sightings of underwater UFOs in the Atlantic and mysterious disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle area.

In 1992, a US oceanographic research vessel carrying out cartographic work discovered a pyramid in the center of the Bermuda Triangle that was significantly larger in size than the Cheops pyramid.

Processing of reflected sonar signals allowed us to assume that the surface of the structure is completely smooth, which is of course unusual for known materials overgrown with algae and shells, and the surface of the pyramid is very similar to a glassy substance. These materials were demonstrated at a press conference in Florida immediately after the expedition, however, no new data was received about this object.

ABOUT THE ANTERFLIDUS SATANIC PROJECT AND ITS MODERN “REMAKE”

In this study, we will try, to the best of our ability and with hope in God’s help, to reveal a number of important but little-studied issues concerning the history and causes of the death of the antediluvian world, or more precisely, perhaps, the antediluvian civilization. In our opinion, there is every reason to consider this topic extremely relevant for modern people.

Just a week ago I put the puzzles together into a single picture. And today I read this picture by another author. No matter how fantastic it sounds or looks, everything is true. there are no other plausible options. Very similar to the truth. It’s a pity that most people don’t recognize Read more

This article explains a lot about human history. Many thanks to the authors!! Let's not repeat the mistakes of the past. Read completely

History of Atlantis

The history of Atlantis is a large continent that once existed apparently in the Atlantic Ocean to the west of Gibraltar. The earliest mention of the writings of Atlantis that have reached our time were the notes of the philosopher Plato. 12 thousand years ago, the subsidence of the continent, which he called Atlantis, stopped, which was quite large island, abundant in minerals and a variety of extinct animals. In the south there was a plain measuring about 370 km by 550 km, and in the middle of the sea and plains there was a capital city Atlantis.

The ruler of the country was Ruler Atlas, who sank to the bottom.

Many hypotheses have been put forward about the location of the sunken continent; the most likely places include the areas of the Azores, Crete, Ascension and Santorini Islands. The Egyptians, North American Indians and, not surprisingly, even the Slavs are supposedly called the heirs of the highly developed Atlantean civilization. It sank with Atlantis using Atlantean technology, sometimes linking underwater UFOs and disappearances without a trace in the Bermuda Triangle area.

In 1992, oceanographic research. A US ship carrying out cartographic work observed a pyramid in the Bermuda Triangle much larger in size than the Cheops pyramid.

The production of reflected sonar signals made it possible to imagine that the plane of the structure was completely smooth, that it was obvious that the materials were unusual, overgrown with algae, and besides, the plane of the pyramid was very similar to glass. These finds were demonstrated at a conference in Florida after the expedition; unfortunately, no new information was received about the object.

The Capricorn woman always tries to find a clear explanation and reason for everything that influences her decision to do or not to do, and, having accepted it, she strictly follows the planned plan and nothing will force her to leave the chosen path.
