This lost city of Atlantis is perhaps one of the strangest archaeological discoveries of all time. The city is said to have been built by Poseidon.
According to some researchers, a tsunami in the 10th century BC hit the city and sank the whole city of Atlantis into the sea. Although this is what the researchers say, so far archaeologists are still on the way to find the truth.
The fertile and beautiful city of Atlantis is a subsistence zone and inhabited by gods and men. People here grow their own crops and raise animals. They also built buildings from black and red stone. Rare metals like brass are made and used for recreational and experimental purposes.
According to many descriptions, this is a city believed to be the utopia of mankind with rich resources and wealth that may have existed more than 11,000 years ago. This city is ruled by a noble and powerful race that has exerted a great influence on the British and African islands.
Poseidon is one of the 12 Olympian gods in Greek Mythology, the god of the seas, and “the one who shakes the earth”, who controls earthquakes, caused by Poseidon’s horses. . Poseidon is depicted as an elderly man with curly hair and a silver beard.
According to Greek documents, Atlantis was given to Poseidon when the gods began to divide the lands to rule. After a while, he fell in love with a mortal named Cleito and they gave birth to five sets of twins, all boys. The firstborn was named Atlas and inherited as the rightful king to rule the entire island, while the remaining brothers were divided into parts each to rule.
After some time, a great war broke out between the Atlanteans and the Athenians. They lost their dominion in the Atlantic as well as their control over Europe was broken. The Athenians also liberated some of the occupied islands. But before the next wars took place, the entire continent of Atlantis was sunk to the bottom of the ocean. Atlantis, its people and even its memories were swallowed up by the sea.
According to the description of the philosopher Plato (Greek philosopher), Atlantis is an island possessing many mountains in the north, down to the south is a vast plain, the whole island is 555km long and 370km wide. The city of Atlantis is surrounded by 5 rings of water and 5 tunnels containing ships. The large outer canal connects the water rings to the ocean. All routes to the city are guarded by gates and towers. The enclosing wall is built of red, white and black stone and decorated with precious metals.
According to Plato, Atlantis was an island with many mountains in the north.
But in fact, except that Atlantis is mentioned in the works of the great philosopher Plato, so far we have not found any other records. Even the island’s location is still a mystery.
Archaeologists have also made various assumptions and suggestions, but what is surprising is that many of the proposed sites are not located in the Atlantic Ocean at all.
Many of the proposed sites are confirmed to have certain characteristics associated with the story of Atlantis. Most of the historically suggested sites are those located in or near the Mediterranean… let’s take a look at the places most likely to resemble Atlantis:
Azores
Plato quotes the Egyptian pastor as saying that they believe that the Atlanteans fought the ancient Mediterranean and then sank in 9,400 BC. Because Atlantis is thought to be a large island around the continent in the Atlantic Ocean, it is considered to be located in the Atlantic Ocean. Atlantis is said to have invaded many parts of the world and waged wars with Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean. Some believe that the sinking of Atlantis took place only on the main island leaving a few scattered islands still in existence and some of them are islands like the Azores.
Sahara Desert
The Sahara Desert, and more specifically southern Algeria, Tunisia, or both, the mountains of Ttionary and Ahagar have been suggested as the actual site of Atlantis. When the French invaded North Africa, they soon discovered a lost “world” in southern Algeria, and the ancient port of Carthage was the epitome of the capital city of Atlantis described by the Egyptian priest.
Malta
Malta has huge ancient buildings dating back 9,000 years or more and mainstream archaeologists call it the site of the oldest stone buildings in the world. Malta is still a rocky island today, but it was once inhabited by elephants and there is evidence that the land was destroyed by tsunamis and disasters. However, according to Plato’s description, the island is too small to be Atlantis, but it shows that the Mediterranean was a very different place 12,000 years ago.
