In just one night, an entire most civilization was submerged in the depths of the ocean, leaving humans developed with huge question marks that have yet to be explored.
Found traces of Atlantis?
According to Daily Star, Scott C. Waring – a UFO research enthusiast recently discovered a strange object up to 5 miles long (more than 8km) on the seabed using the Google Earth tool. This person said the structure and shape of this object is very similar to the lost city of Atlantis.
Scott C. Waring posted an image of this strange object on his blog to share with people who have the same passion. Scott C. Waring also described the object as perfectly round. He believes that the strange object is quite close to the Nazca desert located in Peru, a famous place for its giant drawings on the ground that scientists have named the Nazca lines.

It is known that the Nazca Lines are patterns created by many shallow incisions that reveal layers of sediment of many different colors. These Nazca lines are a collection of many drawings of animals. They were first discovered from above in 1939 when a pilot accidentally flew over the area. Initially they were buried deep under a layer of sandy soil, only to be revealed after strong winds blew away the sand.
According to scientists, the Nazca lines were created between 200 BC and 600 AD. With a scale of more than 80 km, the Nazca Line was recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1994. Currently, archaeologists still cannot explain why the Nazca people created giant drawings. This giant.
Scott C. Waring believes that these Nazca lines are connected to strange objects he found on the seabed. And it is also related to the mysterious disappearance of the city of Atlantis.
Civilization was wiped out overnight.
The origin of the story of Atlantis as mentioned above originates from the Greek philosopher Plato (about 424 to 328 BC). According to National Geographic, the story of Atlantis was mentioned by Plato in his work Timaeus and Critias. In it, he uses the form of dialogue between Socrates, Timaeus, Critias and Hermocrates to give a thorough perspective on the world in which we live, describing a universe consisting of four elements earth, air, fire and Water combined to give existence to all things. things. Atlantis, in particular, was an important topic in these conversations.
The city of Atlantis as described by Plato was a large island that existed 9,000 years before he was born. Critias’s grandfather, after being told the story of Atlantis by the sage Solon, told him.
Atlantis received protection from the sea god in Greek mythology, Poseidon. Plato’s description in the book shows that this island is larger than Libya and Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey) located combined and is in the Atlantic Ocean, beyond the “Pillars of Hercules”, today’s Strait of Gibraltar. .
The book tells the story of Atlantis by philosopher Plato
God Poseidon traveled around the world looking for the largest island until he found Atlantis, inhabited by the most beautiful and intelligent people. Here, the god fell in love with Cleito. To protect his lover, Poseidon placed the city on top of an isolated hill in the middle of the sea and named it Atlantis.
Cleito’s house in the city of Atlantis is surrounded by 5 water rings and 5 ship tunnels. The large outer channel connects the water rings to the ocean. All routes to the city are protected by gates and towers. The surrounding wall was built with red, white, and black stones and decorated with precious metals.
Cleito had five pairs of twin sons with Poseidon. The first child was named Atlas. The children inherited the great city and Atlas became the first ruler of Atlantis. They also built a huge temple for their father with a statue of Poseidon riding a giant chariot, translated by winged horses. The statue was built of gold, placed in a temple with a spiral roof reaching up to the clouds.
Atlantis is described as a highly developed civilization, created by humans and the god Poseidon
The city of Atlantis has favorable conditions in both weather and terrain. Thanks to that, Atlantis had an outstanding civilization with incredible development. The army of this capital is extremely powerful, especially in its ability to fight at sea. They went and occupied many large areas. In Africa, the Atlantis army defeated Egypt, and in Europe, they conquered a large area of land extending to Tyrrhenia (present-day central Italy).
However, the history of Atlantis could not last. In just one night, in 9600 BC, a cataclysm accompanied by a terrible earthquake caused the entire island to be submerged into the deep ocean and disappear forever. The very disappearance without a trace of a large citadel and its civilization has raised many questions for people.
Theories about legends under the ocean.
The story of a huge island with a powerful empire suddenly collapsing and disappearing seems to be a fantasy, from which many theories have emerged from experts around the world.
One of the most convincing theories about the existence of Atlantis is the view of ocean explorer Robert Ballard. He found logic in the story because of its similarities with the giant volcanic eruption on the island of Santorini in the Aegean Sea near Greece.
About 4,000 years ago, this place testifies to the existence of a prosperous civilization named Minoan. The Minoans had many similarities with the inhabitants of Atlantis. They developed greatly and existed almost at the same time as Atlantis as described by Plato.

However, a volcanic eruption wiped out this civilization. Today, Santorini island is one of the tourist attractions that attracts many tourists in Greece. But whether it is the ancient Atlantis or not is still something no one can confirm. Not everyone has a scientific explanation like the Minoan civilization hypothesis.
In 1970, another strange hypothesis also appeared. Famous American linguist Charles Berlitz, famous for his books on paranormal phenomena, hypothesized that Atlantis was swallowed by the “Devil’s Triangle” Bermuda. The Bermuda Triangle is also located in the Atlantic Ocean and is a famous area for ships and airplanes going missing when entering here.
He suggested that the Bermuda triangle had swallowed those vehicles, and Atlantis had suffered the same fate. However, Bermunda is actually located very far from the Strait of Gibraltar, where Plato claimed the location of Atlantis. Therefore, scientists dismissed Berlitz’s idea. However, according to Daily Star, conspiracy theory still believes in this.
In general, people over thousands of years have always been curious and interested by this half-fictional, half-true story. Whether Atlantis is really a civilization or just an imaginary city in the philosopher’s imagination, Plato also really succeeded in creating a legendary Atlantis.
