Atlantis True

One shall rise, and one shall fall. It’s a common cycle that’s been prevalent throughout history. It is also a cycle that the world has seen time and time again, the rise and fall of empires followed by the rise of new empires. A perfect analogy would be the cycle of birth, development and death. This process allows the human population to grow and progress. This works the same way for civilizations. When civilizations collapse, they open the door for newer and more modern civilizations to emerge. During the Late Bronze Age, several powerful eastern Mediterranean civilizations all came to a sudden and catastrophic end. A popular belief is the emergence of “Sea People”. However, Eric H. Cline, the author of “1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed”, believes a series of unfortunate events was the actual culprit. My critique of “1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed”will examine series of calamities that led to the collapse of the Late Bronze Age and how that affected a once stable international community that had been prospering for centuries.

Conspiracy theories are everywhere in this world, one thing happens and people turn it into something that may be true or may not be true. Atlantis is a conspiracy theory because no one truly knows if it exists or not. Atlantis is supposedly an island in the Atlantic Ocean that is better than life itself. Atlantis existed hundreds of thousands of years ago when the Greek gods ruled over the world. Poseidon ruled Atlantis with his mortal wife Cleito, and were chosen to protect all of Atlantis. Atlantean’s had powers that could heal the ill, and their army was the strongest in the world. With all that power something happened that is unknown and caused the Atlantean army to be wiped out in a day and a night. The same thing happened to the island itself, a catastrophic flood and earthquake took over Atlantis and caused it to fall into the ocean.

Many ancient civilizations seem vague as even today as we continually learn about them. Even with all of the data and studies, we have on these ancient cultures; they still remain mysterious. Two of the greatest empires and cultures in the ancient world were the Greeks and Romans. Often these two civilizations are compared as similar, almost to say they were cousins of each other. When they are put under a microscope and begin to see the detail between them then the realization that they were independent civilizations with unique characteristics.

Pseudo-history, pseudo-science, and pseudo-archaeology have delivered ‘proof’ of numerous sites where Atlantis, the lost city of which Plato wrote, could have thrived and then suffered total destruction

      Atlantis is known to most people as a legend or myth written by the Greek poet Plato, but is it possible that this lost continent really existed? Is it all legend or could there be some fact to it? Contrary to common belief there have been numerous geological and historical findings that actually give proof to the existence of this lost city. In the book Imagining Atlantis it tells us the story written by Plato. "According to ancient Egyptian temple records the Athenians fought an aggressive war against the rulers of Atlantis some nine thousand years earlier

When we study old cultures we learn how people adapt to their environment and cope with natural disasters. We learn how patterns of immigration affect languages and why civilizations thrive or die out. Studying the remints of culture, help us understand how people lived long ago, and helps us understand our own civilization. However, not all of the world heritage sites are ancient ruins; also included are Australia’s modern Sydney Opera House, the Tower of London, in England, The Statue of Liberty, in New York Harbor, and other recognizable structures. These are all impressive places of outstanding value to people around the world.

Atlantis was first known in the B.C. era; it was written by a Greek philosopher named Plato. (Livescience) Many stories are told about Atlantis and one specifically told by a famous psychic in the 1920s named Edgar Cayce. (Livescience) Edgar began telling the future for certain people that said they had an affiliation in the past with Atlantis. After foreseeing the future for an abundant number of people, Edgar claimed that Atlantis was to be discovered in 1969, which has not been found. Some psychic archaeology dates back hundreds of years. The fountain of youth is location that everyone can recognize as a myth, yet the story is amazing and is proposed by a Spanish explorer in the 1500s. Some megalithic or cyclopean structures were found using psychic archaeology, but way they were discovered is inconclusive. When sites are found, scientific archaeologist say the psychic could have known about the site or had information previous to the

One theory is that Atlantis was a mid-atlantic island that sunk into the ocean. This is very plausible because of the fact that this part of ocean is only a few hundred feet deep. This means that an earthquake could have very well weakened the foundation of the island. Then, if it did flood to like Plato said then it could have easily sunk into the sea floor. This is what Palto explains in his book but there also could have been many other ways that the island was destroyed,from tsunamis to volcanos. Next, another theory is that Atlantis was swallowed by the bermuda triangle. This myth could also very well be true because there are what looks like man-made walls and streets off the coast of Bimini, although scientist evaluate the structures and found them to be natural rock formation. Finally, the last theory is that Atlantis was Antarctica. History.com explains “According to Hapgood, around 12,000 years ago the Earth’s crust shifted, displacing the continent that became Antarctica from a location much further north than it is today. This more temperate continent was home to an advanced civilization, but the sudden shift to its current frigid location doomed the civilization’s inhabitants–the Atlanteans–and their magnificent city was buried under layers of ice. Hapgood’s theory surfaced before the scientific world gained a full understanding of plate tectonics, which largely relegated his “shifting crust” idea to the fringes of Atlantean beliefs.” This explains that explorers that are looking for atlantis may truly be in the wrong place, instead of looking through the sea they should be digging through ice. There are many plausible theories out there but all of them are either missing evidence or need more investigation. Therefore there are plenty of theros that explain Atlantis’

In order to comprehend Geoffrey Keyte’s theory concerning the lost continent of Atlantis, it is vital to comprehend the Atlanteans. According to Keyte, the Atlanteans were of extraterrestrial basis and came to Earth above fifty thousands years ago. Keyte believes the Atlanteans were above eight to twelve feet with blonde hair and blue eyes. These people were extremely fair-skinned and had life-spans of above eight hundred years. These seven to twelve foot humanoids were believed to be a myth not until a location with eight to twelve foot skeletons was excavate (Keyte). According to Keyte the Atlantean’s knowledge was far more elevated than modern technology. The Atlanteans utilized crystals such as quartz to store and transfer energy. Keyte

The legendary Lost city of Atlantis was once real to man and was heard to be told a “myth” or a “story” to protect it but that was 10,000000 years ago. Atlantis was a real civilization, and the expert testimony, physical evidence, and scientific evidence prove this. Atlantis was a city filled with goods like gold, silver, and wildlife, a place where the demigods(half god, half mortal) lived. The legend of Atlantis is a story told by Plato a Greek philosopher. It is about a moral, spiritual people who lived in a highly advanced, Utopian civilization. But they became greedy, petty, and morally bankrupt, and the gods became angry because the people had lost their way and turned to immoral pursuits. As punishment, Plato, says Poseidon sent "one terrible night of fire and earthquakes" that caused Atlantis to sink into the sea. Plato said it existed around 10,000 years before him, and that it was passed down by poets. There are some pieces of proof that may prove how Atlantis sank and that its ruins sank under the depths of seas. The proof of its existence could be proved by the expert testimony, physical evidence, and scientific evidence.

There are thousands of myths, fables, and legends that exist in the world today. The stories differ based on their origin and the storytellers over time. For example, the West African myth of Obatala and the Greek myth of Eros and Nyx both suggest alternative ways of how the world was created. There are many similarities and differences between the setting, characters, and culture of Greek and West African creation stories.

The first recorded telling of Atlantis was told by Plato. Some people debate that the first telling of Atlantis was told by Solon 300 years prior to Plato’s telling of Atlantis. The story starts when the atlantic ocean was navigable and there was an island in front of the Pillars of Heracles. It was the said to be bigger than libya and Asia together. The island of Atlantis was a powerful empire that ruled over the whole island and several other parts of the world. Over 11,000 years ago Atlantis was the domain of Poseidon who fell in love with a mortal woman called Cleito who gave birth to 5 sets of twin boys. On top of Atlantis in the middle of the island he created a dwelling surrounded by water to protect her. The founders of Atlantis were half god and

1. Since 2005, Bosnian-American engineer Semir Osmanagic has been promoting the so-called “Bosnian Pyramids,” found near the town of Visoko as being the 12,000 year old remains of a lost civilization. These claims have been overwhelmingly rejected by mainstream archaeologists. Assess the evidence provided by the supporters of the “Bosnian pyramids,” using such critical thinking tools as a convergence of evidence and Occam’s razor. Why might this site provide a more attractive history for the modern citizens of Bosnia-Herzegovina than such sites as Mostar’s Sari Most (Old Bridge)?

New Atlantis is the story of a navigator and his crew aiming to go to China, but an unprecedented blast of winds redirects their course. As they are blown off course, they soon come across an island that has never been charted on their maps before. The island is known as Bensalem. As they arrive close to the port, they received a scroll written in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and Spanish. The scroll had told them that they had only sixteen days to stay on the port. The crew could also receive some supplies from the island as well. First, the man asks if the people on the ship are Christian. The crew says yes, and then the man asks about the sick people on the ship. The captain says there are a quite a bunch of sick people on the ship. The health advisor seemed to immediately know it was scurvy, since soon he brought an orange- scarlet type of fruit to the crew for them to eat. This insinuates that the people on this island are more advanced in the medical field, which means that they have made more scientific progress than the other nations of the time. Thereafter, the crew makes an oath to not disturb the peace of the island, meaning they wont steal or attack anyone or anything. As soon as they settle that, six people from the crew including the captain are given permission to go into the mainland. Of course, the sick stay on the ship in order to get better. The men are told that they are to go into a place called the Stranger’s house. When they arrive, they are told to stay
