Facts about Atlantis, the sunken continent

"The information currently circulating about these civilizations is shrouded in so many theories, legends and speculations that it is really difficult to detect what else can be considered an objective truth. In the following we will try to highlight, however, the most pertinent elements, supported by the historical attestations.

The best known historical records of Atlantis are the writings of Plato, Critias and Timaeus, dated around 380 BC. But there are other historians of antiquity who have referred to Atlantis, much less consistent than those of Plato and therefore less known.

The historian R. Cedric Leonard indicates that the ancient Hellanicus and Herodotus mentioned Atlantis even 100 years before Plato. The source of Plato's information is the records of Solon, one of the seven sages of ancient Greece (640-558 BC).

Solon, in turn, had turned to Greek historiographers and Egyptian archivists, and even to the prelates of the Egyptian goddess Neith, making notes. His notes remained in Dropides, Plato's great-grandfather. Solon thus learned that Atlantis was a "huge power" of "extraordinary beauty," "coming from another world," located on a large territory in the Atlantic Ocean. The political system of Atlantis was a hereditary monarchy, in which kings became fearsome tyrants. Solon reports that due to terrible internal conflicts, that territory has completely sunk.

 It is interesting that we find the same theme in some peoples of Asia, South America and Africa. As the historian R. Cedric Leonard points out, 4,000 years BC, the "Egyptian Book of the Dead" states that "King Toth ruled over the Western Island, which was destroyed by water and brought the surviving rulers the shores of Egypt ”.

In Vishnu Purana, 2,000 years BC. there are references to "Atala, the White Island in the Western Ocean." In the Mahabharata, in the book Karna Parva, around 600 BC, it is mentioned that at the end of a war that lasted ten years, "Atala and all its inhabitants sank in the Western Ocean." It is also significant to note that on the American continent we find many places whose names indicate a very possible connection with the ancient civilization of Atlantis.

Here are some of them: Atlán (in the Isthmus of Panama), Aztlán (in Aztec mythology), Atitlan (in Guatemala), Mazatlan (in Sinaloa), Azatlan (in Lake Michigan), Aztalan (in the state of Wisconsin), and may include the name "Atlantic Ocean", as well as the name of the city of Atlanta, the capital of the state of Georgia.

Information about Atlantis was also obtained in a less common way, that of clairvoyance. Among the most noteworthy information of this kind are those provided by Edgar Cayce, because the perceptions of this famous medium proved to be amazingly accurate in thousands of other cases that could be verified. Edgar Cayce's visions describe Atlantis as a very technologically advanced society, which used high-performance aircraft, laser energy, atomic energy, and the power generated by certain huge crystals.

Cayce states that each crystal was at least 6 meters high and that these crystals were placed in series of three, thus producing a vortex of high-powered cosmic energies. However, this huge energy came to be used for war purposes, which eventually led to the complete destruction and sinking of the continent, around 10,500 BC.

A recent study concluded that at least one different technique was used to obtain one of them than the rest, an unknown technique, unheard of to this day.   The parchment that attracted the attention of researchers, one of the most important in the collection, is one with an age of almost 2.000 years, which has been remarkably well preserved, despite the conditions in which it was kept and despite its size. of the largest. Found by the Bedouins in 1956, north of the Dead Sea, it was sold to an antique dealer. He did not keep it in the best conditions, but still wrapped it in cellophane and stored it in a shoe box, hidden under the floor, according to Science Alert. The "Temple Parchment", as he is known, has survived, but is currently the thinnest of the parchments (a collection of about 900 pieces). It is only one tenth of a millimeter thick. However, it was preserved, and the material ...

Final resting place of Alexander the Great

 One of the versions regarding the location of the tomb of Alexander the Great mentions that the body of the great conqueror was deposited in a golden coffin, which was sent to Memphis, Egypt, and from there to Alexandria (city founded by Alexandru), where he lost track.   It was thought for a time that the sarcophagus of Alexander the Great was found in Sidon (Lebanon), because the warrior with a lion's helmet carved on one side looked very much like Alexander the Great. It was later discovered that this was, in fact, the coffin of the king of Sidon. However, the search did not stop there. In 2014, the tomb of a military commander allegedly contemporary with Alexander the Great was discovered in central Macedonia. Although some historians are convinced that these are the remains of Alexander, his place of rest is still sought.

Tomb of the Red Queen, Mexico

In 1994, archaeologists discovered a mortuary in Palenque (a Mayan city). They found here a coffin with the remains of a woman, covered in red dust. Several collections of pearls were also found inside, and a diadem had been placed around the skull. Pieces of what had once been a funeral mask were also found at the scene. According to researchers, the Red Queen was around 60 at the time of her death. This was an interesting finding, as power was usually inherited only by men. As far as was known until the date of this discovery, women were not honored to such an extent that they were buried with treasures such as those found in the Red Queen's coffin. Who was this woman and how much power was concentrated in her hands? It is unknown at this time ...
