The debate about whether the existence of Atlantis was a reality or beautiful legend, have not ceased for many centuries. On this occasion, it was put forward a large number of the most controversial theories, but they were all based on information obtained from the texts of ancient Greek authors, none of whom personally saw this mysterious island, and transmitted only information received from earlier sources. So how true is the legend of Atlantis and where did it come from in our modern world?
An island sunk into the sea
First of all, let us clarify that the word "Atlantis" is commonly understood as some fantastic (since there is no direct evidence of its existence) island located in the Atlantic Ocean. Its exact location is unknown. According to the most popular legend, Atlantis was located somewhere near the north west coast Africa, bordered by the chain of the Atlas Mountains, and near the Pillars of Hercules, framing the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar.
It was placed there in his dialogues (works written in the form of a conversation of historical or fictional persons) by the famous ancient Greek philosopher Plato. On the basis of his works, a very popular legend about Atlantis was subsequently born. It says that around 9500 BC. e. in the above area there was a terrible earthquake, as a result of which the island forever plunged into the abyss of the ocean.
On that day, the ancient and highly developed civilization, created by the islanders, whom Plato calls "Atlanteans". It should be noted right away that, due to similar names, they are sometimes mistakenly identified with the characters of ancient Greek mythology - mighty titans holding the vault of heaven on their shoulders. This mistake is so common that when looking at the sculptures by the outstanding Russian sculptor A. I. Terebenev (see photo below), decorating the portico of the New Hermitage in St. Petersburg, many people associate with heroes who once sunk deep into the seas.
A mystery that excites the minds of people
During the Middle Ages, the works of Plato, as well as most other ancient historians and philosophers, were forgotten, but already in the XIV-XVI centuries, which received the name of the Renaissance, interest in them, and at the same time in Atlantis and the legend associated with its existence , increased rapidly. It does not weaken to this day, giving rise to heated scientific discussions. Scientists around the world are trying to find real evidence of the events described by Plato and a number of his followers, and to answer the question of what Atlantis really was - legend or reality?
An island inhabited by people who created the highest civilization at that time, and then swallowed up by the ocean, is a mystery that excites the minds of people and encourages them to look for answers outside the real world. It is known that even in Ancient Greece the legend of Atlantis has given impetus to many mystical teachings, and in modern history it has inspired theosophical thinkers. The best known of these are H. P. Blavatsky and A. P. Sinnett. The authors of various kinds of near-scientific and simply fantastic works of various genres, which also turned to the image of Atlantis, did not stand aside.
Where did the legend come from?
But let us return to the writings of Plato, since they are the primary source that aroused centuries-old disputes and discussions. As mentioned above, the mention of Atlantis is contained in two of his dialogues, called Timaeus and Critias. Both are devoted to the issue state structure and are conducted on behalf of his contemporaries: the Athenian politician Critias, as well as two philosophers - Socrates and Timaeus. We note right away that Plato makes a reservation that the primary source of all information about Atlantis is the story of the ancient Egyptian priests, which was passed down orally from generation to generation and finally reached him.
The troubles that befell the Atlanteans
The first of the dialogues contains a report by Critias about the war between Athens and Atlantis. According to him, the island, with the army of which his compatriots had to face, was so large that it surpassed all of Asia in size, which gives reason to call it the mainland with full right. As for the state formed on it, it amazed everyone with its greatness and, being unusually powerful, conquered Libya, as well as a significant territory of Europe, stretching up to Tirrenia (Western Italy).
In 9500 B.C. e. Atlanteans, wanting to conquer Athens, brought down on them all the power of their previously invincible army, but, despite the clear superiority of forces, they could not succeed. The Athenians repulsed the invasion and, having defeated the enemy, returned freedom to the peoples who until then had been in slavery to the islanders. However, the troubles did not recede from the prosperous and once prosperous Atlantis. The legend, or rather, the story of Critias, which is based on it, tells further about a terrible natural disaster that completely destroyed the island and forced it to sink into ocean depths. Literally within a day, the raging elements wiped out a huge continent from the face of the earth and put an end to the highly developed culture created on it.
Commune of Athenian rulers
The continuation of this story is the second dialogue that has come down to us, called Critias. In it, the same Athenian politician tells in more detail about the two great states of antiquity, whose armies met on the battlefield shortly before the fatal flood. Athens, according to him, was a highly developed state and so pleasing to the gods that, according to legend, the end of Atlantis was a foregone conclusion.
The description of the system of government that was arranged in it is quite remarkable. According to Critias, on the Acropolis - a hill that still towers in the center of the Greek capital - there was a certain commune, partly reminiscent of those that the founders of the communist movement imagined in their imagination. Everything in it was equal and everything was enough in abundance. But it was not inhabited ordinary people, but by rulers and warriors who ensured the maintenance of the order they desired in the country. The laboring masses were only allowed to reverently look at their shining heights and fulfill the plans descended from there.
Arrogant descendants of Poseidon
In the same treatise, the author contrasted the humble and virtuous Athenians with the high-proud Atlanteans. Their ancestor, as is clear from the work of Plato, was the god of the seas Poseidon himself. Once, having witnessed how an earthly girl named Kleito did not live her young body in the waves, he was inflamed with passion and, having evoked reciprocal feelings in her, became the father of ten sons - demigods, half-humans.
The eldest of them, named Atlas, was put in charge of the island, divided into nine parts, each of which was under the command of one of his brothers. In the future, not only the island inherited his name, but even the ocean on which he was located. All his brothers became the founders of dynasties that lived and ruled in this fertile land for many centuries. This is how the legend describes the birth of Atlantis as a powerful and sovereign state.
Island of abundance and wealth
In his work, Plato also gives the dimensions of this legendary mainland island known to him. According to him, it was 540 km long and at least 360 km wide. highest point of this vast territory was a hill, the height of which the author does not specify, but writes that it was located about 9-10 km from the seashore.
It was on it that the palace of the ruler was built, which Poseidon himself surrounded by three land and two water defensive rings. Later, his Atlantean descendants threw bridges over them and dug additional channels through which ships could freely approach the piers located at the very walls of the palace. They also erected many temples on the central hill, richly decorated with gold and decorated with statues of celestials and earthly rulers of Atlantis.
Myths and legends, born on the basis of the writings of Plato, are full of descriptions of the treasures owned by the descendants of the sea god, as well as the richness of nature and the fertility of the island. In the dialogues of the ancient Greek philosopher, in particular, it is mentioned that, despite the densely populated Atlantis, wild animals lived very freely on its territory, among which there were even not yet tamed and not domesticated elephants. At the same time, Plato does not disregard many of the negative aspects of the life of the islanders, which caused the wrath of the gods and caused the catastrophe.
The end of Atlantis and the beginning of the legend
Peace and prosperity that had reigned there for many centuries collapsed overnight through the fault of the Atlanteans themselves. The author writes that as long as the inhabitants of the island put virtue above wealth and honors, the celestials were favorable to them, but turned away from them as soon as the glitter of gold eclipsed spiritual values in their eyes. Looking at how people who had lost their divine essence were filled with pride, greed and anger, Zeus did not want to restrain his anger and, having gathered other gods, gave them the right to pass their sentence. This is where the manuscript of the ancient Greek philosopher ends, but, judging by the catastrophe that soon befell the wicked proud, they were considered unworthy of mercy, which ultimately led to such a sad outcome.
The legends of Atlantis (or information about real events - this remains unknown) attracted the attention of many ancient Greek historians and writers. In particular, the Athenian Hellanic, who lived in the 5th century BC. e., also describes this island in one of his writings, however, calling it a little differently - Atlantiad - and not mentioning its death. However, modern researchers, for a number of reasons, believe that his story is not related to the lost Atlantis, but to Crete, which has successfully survived the centuries, in whose history the sea god Poseidon also appears, who conceived a son from an earthly maiden.
It is curious that the name "Atlantes" was applied by ancient Greek and Roman authors not only to the islanders, but also to the inhabitants of continental Africa. In particular, Herodotus, as well as a no less famous historian, so called a certain tribe that lived in the Atlas Mountains near the ocean coast. These African Atlanteans were very warlike and, being at a low stage of development, waged constant wars with foreigners, among whom were the legendary Amazons.
As a result, they were completely exterminated by their neighbors, the troglodytes, who, although they were in a semi-animal state, still managed to win. There is an opinion that Aristotle said on this occasion that it was not the military superiority of the savages that led to the death of the Atlantean tribe, but the creator of the world, Zeus, killed them for their iniquities.
A product of fantasy that survived the ages
The attitude of modern researchers to the information presented in Plato's dialogues and in the writings of a number of other authors is extremely skeptical. Most of them consider Atlantis a legend with no real basis. Their position is explained primarily by the fact that for many centuries no material evidence of its existence has been found. It really is. There is a complete lack of archaeological data on the existence at the end of the Ice Age, as well as the nearest millennia to it, of such a developed civilization in West Africa or Greece.
It is also bewildering that the story allegedly told to the world by the ancient Greek priests and then passed down to Plato in oral retelling was not reflected in any of the written monuments found on the banks of the Nile. This involuntarily suggests that the ancient Greek philosopher himself composed the tragic story of Atlantis.
He could well borrow the beginning of the legend from the rich domestic mythology, in which the gods often became the founders of entire nations and continents. As for the tragic denouement of the plot, he needed it. The fictitious island should have been destroyed to give the story an external credibility. Otherwise, how could he explain to his contemporaries (and, of course, to his descendants) the absence of traces of his existence.
Researchers of antiquity also pay attention to the fact that when talking about a mysterious continent located near the western coast of Africa, and about its inhabitants, the author cites only Greek names and geographical names. This is very strange and suggests that he himself invented them.
tragic mistake
At the end of the article, we will cite some very amusing statements that zealous supporters of the historicity of the existence of Atlantis come out with today. As mentioned above, today it has been raised to the shield by many supporters of the occult movements and all sorts of mystics who do not want to reckon with the absurdity of their own theories. Pseudo-scientists are not inferior to them, trying to pass off their fabrications as discoveries allegedly made by them.
For example, in recent years, articles have repeatedly appeared on the pages of the press, as well as on the Internet, that the Atlanteans (the existence of which the authors did not question) have made such a high progress that they have carried out extensive research activities in the field of nuclear physics. Even the disappearance of the continent itself is explained by the tragedy that occurred as a result of their unsuccessful nuclear test.
As we have seen, many of the early books about the Maya were also related to the so-called lost civilization of Atlantis. This idea, popular among esotericists, caused laughter or irritation among professional archaeologists. Central America. But should the version of Atlantis be dismissed simply as a myth, or is there some fact behind this legend? I was ready to accept new views on this problem.
Plato was the first to mention Atlantis, who briefly retold its history in the writings Critias and Timaeus. He reports that it was told 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 Maya 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. You and your fellow citizens are descended from the few survivors, but you do not know anything about it, because for many generations no one recorded the stories of events.”7
According to Plato, there was once a mainland in the place of the middle part of the Atlantic Ocean, and it was the Athenians who repelled the invasion from that mainland to 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 rushed to the cities of Europe and Asia. In those days ships sailed across the Atlantic. Opposite the strait which you call the "Pillars of Hercules" was a huge island, larger than Libya and Asia* put together, and from there travelers could reach other islands, and from there to the mainland on the opposite side of the Earth, surrounded by an ocean. 8
What happened to Atlantis and did it exist at all?
Atlantis is an antediluvian world that disappeared as a result of the flood, except for Noah's family. Interesting world, about which there is practically no information, with the exception of those that are available in the Bible. In particular, it is known that people during this period lived up to 1000 years, were much stronger, incommensurably healthy, strong, larger than us, as all the fauna and flora of the earth were stronger and larger. The 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 that protected the earth from various harmful effects, for example, from radiation. This protective layer disappeared during the flood and people began to see the stars. Antediluvian people did not eat meat, only fruits, vegetables, 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 shone not so brightly, or maybe it was not visible at all. As a result of a long life, people managed to do a lot, science developed. Now they began to find some objects from the antediluvian civilization, and their multitude, plunging our contemporaries into shock, how perfect, technical they are, far exceed all those available in modern world technologies. These people supposedly could fly on some kind of aircraft, learned to easily move large objects, such as the idols of Easter Island, or the facing plates of the Egyptian pyramids, very precisely fitted to each other, and much more.

History of Atlantis
ATLANTIS - a huge island or mainland that once existed possibly in the Atlantic Ocean to the 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 sinking of the continent, which he called Atlantis, ended, which was quite big Island rich in minerals and diverse wildlife. 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 on their neighbors, to subjugate them, using their knowledge, which is not achievable even in our time, and the possibility of their implementation in deadly weapons. But. several strong earthquakes split the island, and he 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 civilization of the Atlanteans that died 11-12 thousand years ago was cruelly ridiculed because, 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 the details about the lost civilization from ancient sources. A revival of interest in this topic came in 1882-1883, when the American scientist Ignatius DONELLY wrote the books Atlantis - the antediluvian world and Ragnarrock - the era of fire and death. According to the legends, it was a fertile densely populated land, which, due to some kind of cataclysm, sank to the bottom. 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 mainland, 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 culture of the Atlanteans are the Egyptians, the American Indians and even the Slavs. Underwater UFO sightings in the Atlantic and mysterious disappearances in the area of the Bermuda Triangle are sometimes associated with the name of Atlantis and the sunken technology of the Atlanteans.
In 1992, a US oceanographic research vessel carrying out cartographic work discovered a pyramid in the center of the Bermuda Triangle that was much larger than the pyramid of Cheops.
The processing of the reflected sonar signals allowed us to assume that the surface of the structure is completely smooth, which is certainly 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, there were no new data on this object.
ABOUT THE ANTERDOLOV SATANIC PROJECT AND ITS MODERN "REMAKE"
In this study, we will try to the best of our ability and with the hope of God's help to reveal a number of important but little-studied questions regarding the history and causes of the death of the antediluvian world, or more precisely, an 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 so. there are no other plausible options. Very similar to the truth. it is a pity that most do not recognize Read more

History of Atlantis
History of Atlantis - a large continent that once existed apparently in the Atlantic Ocean towards the west of Gibraltar. An early mention of the writings of Atlantis that have come down to our time were the notes of the philosopher Plato. 12 thousand years ago, the immersion of the continent, which he called Atlantis, stopped, which was enough large island, rich 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 was the capital city Atlantis.
The ruler of the country was Ruler Atlas sank to the bottom.
Many hypotheses have been put forward about finding the sunken mainland, the areas of the Azores, Crete, Ascension and the Santorini Islands can be called the most likely place. The Egyptians, North American Indians and, not surprisingly, even the Slavs are supposedly called the heirs of the highly developed civilization of the Atlanteans. Sunk with Atlantis by Atlantean technology, sometimes linking underwater UFOs and disappearances without a trace in the Bermuda Triangle area.
In 1992, oceanographic research. a US vessel performing cartographic work observed in bermuda triangle the pyramid is much larger than the pyramid of Cheops.
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 is very similar to glass. These findings were demonstrated at a conference in Florida after the expedition, unfortunately no new information about the object has been received.
The Capricorn woman always tries to find a clear explanation and reason for everything that affects her decision to do or not to do, and, having accepted it, she strictly follows the plan and nothing will force her to leave the chosen path.

Atlantis! One word is enough to create 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 died at the whim of unkind gods or because of its own negligence.
Where did the idea of Atlantis come from? Was it a real place, or is it just an old fairy tale?
The history of Atlantis begins with ancient Greek philosophy, then continues in a literary movement inspired by Christopher Columbus, and then its popularity soars again when a congressman from Minnesota decides to try his hand at science and linguistics. Add to this the considerable interest from the leaders of the Third Reich and countless pseudo-scientific theories. And yet, today there are a huge number of people who are still hunting for the lost continent.
Get ready for a deep dive into the history of the sunken city of Atlantis.
To understand the origin 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 works 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 major continent. According to him, Atlantis was originally a rather bizarre place that Poseidon himself loved.
At the head of the state were kings who worked in alliance with each other, thanks to which the state was 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 "concern" protected Clito from escaping. And it is worth noting that she 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 also named after this ancient king (although modern science has a different version and associates 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 anti-Athena. Her ambitious militant plans come to an end in failure.
Utopian literature
The works of Plato had a great influence on medieval philosophy, but it is sometimes difficult for scientists 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 is possible. Utopian literature established the existence of previously unknown worlds whose culture and customs were presented as different from "normal" European ones. The idea of Atlantis received a new round.
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 Indian peoples, and Bacon's work helped spark the idea that the Maya were descendants of the Atlanteans.
Suggested Locations
The next landmark event is the 1882 book Atlantis: The Antediluvian World by Ignatius Donnelly.
Donnelly uses some really sophisticated linguistics combined with racist Mayan theories to suggest that not only was Atlantis real, it was also the ancestral home of all mankind.
His ideas became extremely popular and people soon began looking for the real location of Atlantis. The list of "suspects" includes even real-life islands - Sardinia and Crete. Plato left a too vague definition: "west of Gibraltar." Therefore, the geography of searches was quite extensive.
In art and literature
Since Donnelly's book, Atlantis has been mentioned throughout popular culture and art. In those days, science fiction began to take shape as a genre. Thanks to this, we got Captain Nemo, who found the sunken continent 20,000 leagues under the sea. Edgar Burroughs (“The Lost Continent”), Alexei Tolstoy (“Aelita”), Arthur Conan Doyle (“The Maracot Abyss”), Kir Bulychev (“The End of Atlantis”), Andrea Norton (“Operation Search in time"") and many others.
Dozens of films have shown the life of the mysterious mainland, including Disney in 2001 (Atlantis: The Lost Empire).
The most chilling example is the opera The Emperor of Atlantis, an allusion to Hitler, which was written by a prisoner in a concentration camp.
Occultism
One of the main works of Theosophy is the "Secret Doctrine" by 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 from a million years ago, destroyed for careless handling of magic.
Nazis
The 1985 book The Occult Roots of Nazism describes how Nazi philosophy had a connection with Ariosophy, white nationalist occult philosophy. According to The Independent, SS chief Heinrich Himmler was looking for the Holy Grail to prove the Aryan origin of Christ.
The seminal works of Nazi philosophy include Alfred Rosenberg's The Myth of the Twentieth Century, based on a racial theory that claims that modern white Europeans are descended from the Hyperboreans who emerged from Atlantis.
Reliable data on the research of the Third Reich is extremely scarce. But it is certain that they were carried out.
Other lost and sunken lands
Atlantis is called the most famous lost continent. But she's not the only one of her kind. In fact, there are some pretty shocking facts about other parts of the land. To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, we can say that the loss of one continent is a misfortune; and losing a dozen is just a statistic.
One of the most famous continents that have been lost is Lemuria. The version about it was first put forward by the British zoologist Philip Latley Sclater to explain why the ranges of lemur-like animals are separated by oceans. This idea has never received any real scientific interpretation, but thanks to the mention of Blavatsky, it has become firmly established in popular culture.
The Lost Continent of Mu was an attempt to explain similarities between distant cultures (such as the pyramids in Egypt and Central America) before aliens were drawn into the story.
An ancient legend said that there was an island off the coast of Ireland called Hy-Brasil that mysteriously reappeared once every seven years before one day it sank forever. Note that, despite the similarity in names, this is not at all connected with the real Brazil.
Bad news
Let's remember the fact that there is no historical evidence of the existence of the mysterious mainland. And thousands of explorers returned from expeditions with nothing. In truth, scientists have more evidence to disprove the myth than to prove it. Modern science has absolutely no reliable facts that could give hope to 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 appear in all its glory.
Atlantis
Atlantis - according to the ancient Greek legend preserved by Plato, there once existed a huge fertile densely populated island in the Atlantic Ocean to the west of Gibraltar, which sank to the bottom due to an earthquake. Questions about the existence and causes of the death of Atlantis in science remain controversial. (BES).
The search for Atlantis began in AD 50 and has actually been going on for two millennia. During this time, a huge number of versions were expressed, but then scientists agreed to count only 40-50 points on the map of the Earth that corresponded to the legend with the highest degree of plausibility. A version was expressed that such events could occur in different time, in different places and built a chronology of alleged events. Presumably, events could develop 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 about. Wrangel (Arctic Ocean);
- in the Caribbean Sea, west of about. Haiti;
- in the northeast of Taimyr;
- North of Crete;
– in the center of Bolivia (South America);
– in the South China Sea;
- in the Novorossiysk Bay (Krasnodar Territory).
The ancient Greek philosopher Plato (427-347 BC) in his two writings Timaeus and Critias described a glorious history and a tragic end island nation 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 about 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, behind the Pillars of Hercules, as the Strait of Gibraltar was previously called.
Plato gives quite detailed description the island itself, its capital. In the center of the island rose a hill, on which stood temples and royal palace Acropolis. The upper city was protected by two rows of earth embankments and three water rings-canals. The outer ring was connected to the sea by a 500-meter canal through which ships entered the inner port. The harbor accommodated up to 1200 ships, which could wait out any bad weather here.
central part The island was surrounded by stone walls. The Atlanteans applied molten copper to the stone walls around the outer earthen ring of the canal, and the inside of the wall was covered with tin casting. The wall of the Acropolis was covered with orichalcum (an alloy of copper and zinc), which emitted a "fiery radiance". 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 Kleito, the progenitor of all Atlanteans, was surrounded by a golden wall.
In the Timaeus, Plato explains some political structure island state: “On this island, called Atlantis, there arose a great and admirable alliance of kings, whose power extended over the whole island, to many other islands and to part of the mainland, and moreover, on this side of the strait they took possession of Libya to Egypt and part of Europe as far as Tirrenia…”.
If we do not take into account a number of late geographical names(Europe, Tirrenia, Libya, Egypt), which can be attributed to translators, the narrative looks quite convincing, and Plato himself repeatedly repeats that he writes the true truth. There is some doubt about the information that the underground passages led to the African and American continents.
The Olympic gods, angry at the greed of the islanders and Athens who fought with them, decided to punish them for their greed and violence. A monstrous earthquake and flood “in one terrible day and one night” destroyed the Athenian army and all of Atlantis, which had gone under the water of the ocean.
Such is the legend. Many explorers were attracted by the treasures of Atlantis, everyone wanted to take possession of them. Most of the signs described by Plato indicated the existence of the Atlantic Ocean sunk in the expanses, some believed that they had misinterpreted the main landmark and tried to search in the Mediterranean Sea, which in ancient times could be compared with the ocean. There were also new versions 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. Companies burst one by one, but interest did not weaken, each new one believed that it was closer to the goal of previous search engines. In the Soviet Union, the search for the sunken island began several decades ago. "The Russians have found Atlantis!" - such sensational headlines went around all the world's newspapers in 1979 and were accompanied by photographs seabed. In the photographs, under a layer of sand, longitudinal ridges were clearly distinguished, resembling 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 ones. Underwater images were taken by scientists from the research vessel of the Moscow University "Akademik Petrovsky". The place itself perfectly suited Plato's version and was located "beyond the Pillars of Hercules" in the shallows near the underwater volcano Ampere. Scientists managed to establish that once the volcano protruded above the water and was an island.
Three years later, a more equipped Soviet ship, the Rift, launched the Argus submersible in this place. A message from the commander of the Argus, V. Bulyga, flew to the Institute of Oceanology of the USSR Academy of Sciences: “We opened up a panorama of the ruins of the city, since the walls very similarly imitated the remains of rooms, streets, squares.” Unfortunately, such encouraging impressions of the aquanaut were not confirmed by the subsequent Vityaz expedition, which took place in the summer of 1984. Two stones of the correct form 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, writes in his report: “Most likely, the stone is a frozen lava that once poured out through the cracks of the volcano.”
This expedition explored another Josephine seamount, an equally ancient volcano, and earlier an island. A.Gorodnitsky offered his vision of a geological catastrophe of the distant past: it occurred as a result of a sharp shift in the northward direction of the African tectonic plate. Its collision with the European plate caused the eruption of the Santorin volcano in the east, and in the west - a sinking into the ocean 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 another myth and scientists did not find traces of material culture.
Deserve attention as the most plausible version of the study of the Swiss archaeologist Eberhard Zangger, who, after comparing some data related to Troy and Atlantis, considered them identical. Fairly close and important coincidences (the number of ships in the "twelve hundred", strong northerly winds that interfered with rowing ships when passing into the Black Sea).
Not so long ago, a 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, rowers at the latitude of Troy were exhausted several times, struggling with the oncoming northern current coming from the Dardanelles. Such a natural obstacle could allow Troy to firmly hold an important trading artery in their hands and collect a toll from merchant ships. The information we have confirms that the sea tax was an important source of income for the Trojans. This also explains the presence of a large fleet and a capacious harbor. Currently, scientists using aviation and other equipment are looking for traces of the proposed channel to internal port 500 meters long.
In one of the collections of Moscow State University, an article by E. Milanovsky was published, in which the author quite convincingly cites his version: “Many facts and details reported by Plato make it possible to identify Atlantis in the ancient metropolis, 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 a partial subsidence of the central volcanic structure, which turned into a caldera - a basin left after the eruption. Multiple eruptions of the volcano piled up 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 point of view of geology, with sufficient reason, we can assume that the island or archipelago described by Plato with a concentric relief device and thermal springs and its sudden collapse into the deep sea, accompanied by an earthquake, tsunami and the appearance of large masses of floating "petrified mud" (pumice) at the site of the failure, is 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 full correspondence of geological events on the island of Tyra to what Plato wrote about the catastrophe of Atlantis. He gives a detailed description of the ongoing excavations of the Tyrian city of Akrotiri, which in many ways resembles modern cities. E. Milanovsky's version 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 explorer of the underwater depths J. Cousteau gave him the opportunity to build his own hypothesis: “The power of the Minoan empire rested on its seaside cities leading the 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 did 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 finished. They began to forget about Crete. From real life the Cretans passed 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 from the lips of the priest of the goddess Neith they recorded the story of the greatness and fall of Atlantis. There are other data that speak in favor of the identification of Crete with Atlantis. Further, the scientist refers to the Bible, which contains parables “about the ten plagues of Egypt”, set forth in the book “Exodus”. Parables allow us to interpret them as a description of the consequences of a grand catastrophe in the eastern Mediterranean.
The hypotheses of the Russian and French scientists, as well as possible, complement one another and work in the same direction. The question involuntarily begs: if it makes sense to continue the search for Atlantis in other places? I think that it is worth it, at least for science to acquire new information about the life of our ancestors.
In 2000, in the August issue of the newspaper "Megapolis-Express" a sensational article by Evgeny Surkov "But then a piece of Atlantis surfaced!" Due to its small volume and solid information content, I quote it without abbreviations.
“Echoes of strong tremors have recently been registered by seismological stations in Russia and Canada. They did not cause much concern: the epicenter of the earthquake fell on a remote corner of the Arctic Ocean. In photographs taken from space, in the zone of a natural cataclysm, the outlines of some unknown land were clearly visible.
However, this did not come as a surprise. As the correspondent of the Exotic News Agency was told at the Institute of Physics of the Earth, unexpected rises and falls of the planet's surface under the influence of underground forces often happen. And in general, it is one thing when the earth goes into the abyss of water, dragging entire cities with it, and another thing is the raising of a small section of the bottom. What can be interesting here? But this time nature gave a surprise. Together with the "earth", an ancient civilization "surfaced".
The crews of several ships, traveling in a caravan from Murmansk to Pevek, accompanied by the icebreaker Ob, witnessed such an unusual event. The sight of rising ice and "boiling" water plunged the crews into a state of mild shock.
Look, Atlantis! - suddenly shouted the watchman on the icebreaker. In fact, right before the eyes of the sailors, an island with ruins emerged from the water. Massive columns in the manner of the Egyptians were interspersed with gigantic buildings built from huge blocks. Heaps of stone fragments protruded from under the broken ice floes. The "streets" of the ancient city were filled with silty slurry flowing 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 getting closer to 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 a long time. A few minutes later, shuddering, the island also suddenly began to slowly sink into the ocean.
The International Association for the Exploration of the Arctic Ocean Basin (headquartered in London) learned about the incident only after the caravan returned to its home port. However, scientists interviewed eyewitnesses.
- It is authentically known, - commented, - the vice-president of the Russian branch of the association Mikhail Buynov, - that one of the highly developed cultures existed exactly in those latitudes fifteen millennia ago. 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 chance, it was precisely that part of the bottom that archaeologists and historians had dreamed of for so long that had risen from the puchpna.
By the way, seismologists for the near future predict a number of serious tectonic shocks of the bottom of the Arctic Ocean. Therefore, the emergence of new islands with traces of Arctida between Svalbard and Franz Josef Land may resume.
The news of such an unusual find excited scientific world. Any archaeologist dreams of finding the treasury of the ancient Aryans who inhabited Arctida. Indeed, according to legend, sacred knowledge recorded on golden sheets is stored in it. According to the ancient traveler Pytheas, the golden library of the Aryans was located on the island of Tula, somewhere in the Svalbard region. According to the doctor of the Illinois Archaeological Institute Harry Smith, this is nothing more than a bank of high technologies developed by one of the first civilizations on the planet. For those who master them, magic will become a mere routine.
This hypothesis is supported by another finding. In 1935, Norwegian fishermen, who hunted in the Barents Sea, found in a trawl among crabs and fish three "golden papyri" with unknown writings. During the occupation of Norway, they disappeared: 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 is from his filing that military experts urgently calculate where the ruins of prehistoric cities may emerge in the near future. And the research ship "Georgy Sedov" wasted no time, set off to "patrol" the harsh waters of the Arctic.
I can not ignore another version regarding the location of the legendary Atlantis. It is so accepted in science that versions that belong exclusively to scientists are considered. Even the finds in Troy by Heinrich Schliemann were repeatedly called into question due to the "ignorance" 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.
Our modest compatriot lives in the port city of Novorossiysk, 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 these objects were located in the old days on the territory of modern Novorossiysk. His analysis strikes with the depth of 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. They found absolutely all the signs of the disappeared cities, including the existing ones, within and around Novorossiysk thermal springs. In other countries, such a person would be carried in their arms, and on historical places they would have erected buildings of the corresponding period and turned the city into a tourist Mecca, but things are still there ...
The unwillingness 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 resented the loose use of the words prehistoric and antediluvian. In the dictionary of S.I. Ozhegov, the first means “Relating to the most ancient period, about which there is no written evidence”, and the second - “Obsolete, old-fashioned, backward (literally: existing before the mythical flood)”. Thus, the Cretan-Minoan civilization, with its multi-storey buildings, equipped with water supply and sewerage on all floors of the buildings, corresponds to the prehistoric period. All the “incomprehensible” objects of antiquity, which could not fit into the consciousness of the nomadic Arabian people, are also attributed 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 places of the possible location of Atlantis, I want to draw your attention to the presence of the “Russian” components of this name “ot lan ida” means “land cut off from the mainland” or sea and ocean islands, in contrast to small river islands-siches. That is why the globalizers are afraid to conduct a serious search for ancient civilizations, because they belong exclusively to the Russian people. The descendants of "earthly men" cannot, even in their wildest fantasies, "fly away" further than five and a half thousand years of their history, and here are tens and hundreds of thousands of years of flourishing civilizations...

FOREWORD
In this study, we will try, to the best of our ability and with the hope of God's help, to reveal a number of important, but little-studied questions regarding the history and causes of the death of the antediluvian world, or, more precisely, perhaps, to say - 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, the civilization that was created on earth before the Flood, during which, as follows from the Bible, all mankind died, except for the family of righteous Noah. And the main thing that is revealed to us today is that the antediluvian civilization was not just God-opposing, but directly God-fighting, that the construction of a global occult-satanic system aimed at the implementation of some kind of God-fighting, satanic project was started in it. That is why the Lord God destroyed this civilization by flooding the whole earth, so that almost the entire territory where the objects built by that civilization were located is still under water. Indeed, before the flood, as it is said in the Third Book of Ezra, water occupied only one seventh of the earth's surface, and now - 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, started active implementation of the same satanic program, the same atheistic plans and projects that were before the flood - only, of course, 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. on the “reign” of Satan over humanity, universal worship of him and recognition of him as the “god of the Earth”.
But more about this, God will give, we will say more later, towards the end of our study. Let's start our study with this - with the pyramids.
1. PYRAMIDS
We know from the school bench that there are pyramids in Egypt. They stretch for tens of kilometers south of Cairo. The highest and most famous is the “great pyramid” of Cheops, its height is 146 meters (before it was built in 1889 eiffel tower The pyramid of Cheops was considered the tallest building 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. It is written in school textbooks that the Egyptian pyramids were built by slaves and are nothing more than places of worship- tombs intended for the burial of pharaohs. Actually it is not.
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 hard to imagine that such huge structures were erected only in order to bury one person (even a pharaoh). Many modern scientists, categorically disagreeing with the theory of tombs, put forward other versions that, 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, gave amazing information. So, in the pyramids, the ratio of the length of the side of the base to the height is the proportion of the "golden section" (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. Near the pyramids and inside them, various difficult-to-explain phenomena were repeatedly noted. Inside the pyramids, during the experiments, points were found that are favorable for health, or vice versa - depressing living organisms.
It should be noted that at present there is a general increase in interest in the pyramids - this "gift ancient civilizations". Recently, many books and articles have appeared in the foreign and domestic press on the extraordinary properties of ancient and modern pyramids (see, for example: Yu. O. Lipovsky, “Pyramids heal and protect”; “Pyramids and a pendulum guard your health: Practical Guide to Application).
Service and residential buildings and other structures (arbors, etc.) of a pyramidal shape are being built, pyramids and pyramids of various sizes are made from various materials (glass, plastic, plywood, metals, natural stone). Someone places blades in pyramids made according to the Egyptian type (i.e., with the same proportions), and they sharpen themselves (scientific publications also wrote about this phenomenon), someone germinates seeds in the pyramids, hoping for b O higher than usual germination and yield, someone preserves perishable products in the same way, someone “charges” 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 geopathic radiation (for example, from harmful radiation from computers and cell phones), protect, remove "damage" and other negative influences, develop "clairvoyance". But in most of the publications on this topic, a (very appropriate) reservation is made that if the pyramids are used “incorrectly”, harm to health, etc. can be done.
But back to the Egyptian pyramids. Everything suggests that they were built not by primitive manual forced labor, but through the use of very advanced, fantastic (in the words of modern experts) building technologies: almost perfect right angles, incredible symmetry of four huge faces, amazing technologies for creating and processing a huge number of 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 carved from hard rocks and processed in Egypt weighing 800 and even 1000 tons (these are gigantic weights). The dimensions of the blocks from which the pyramids are composed are maintained with an accuracy of about 0.2 mm, the blocks are smoothly polished on all sides, and the joints are adjusted (without the use of any cementing material) so that even a needle cannot be inserted into them.
Research conducted by modern professional builders has shown that the builders of the pyramids possessed some unimaginable tools. So, examining holes in granite blocks, experts came to the conclusion that the drills of the pyramid builders were 500 times more powerful than today's most powerful drills. With amazing speed and ease, the builders of the pyramids could not only carve huge stone blocks, but also crash into solid rocks like butter (the researchers even had an expression: “plasticine technologies”). Some are inclined to believe that the builders of the pyramids could move and lift huge weights to a height because they had levitation technology at their disposal, which the myths and traditions of many peoples of the world allegedly speak of.
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 exactly what technologies the pyramid builders achieved such results with, 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 raise them to a great height? What force - spiritual, political or economic - pushed the ancient Egyptians to such a monumental work? And if not the Egyptians, then who created the pyramids? And what is their true purpose? All this is still considered the greatest mystery» humanity. Let's try, with God's help, at least to some extent to make this secret clear.
2. ONE PRE-FLOW CIVILIZATION
First of all, it is important for us to know that Egypt is not the only place where the pyramids remained. Similar structures are found in many other places on the planet.: Mexico, South America, China, India, countries South-East Asia, at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, the Sea of Japan ... All this suggests that it was single, global civilization.
Almost every culture has legends about sunken cities and continents, about ancient advanced civilizations lying at the bottom of the ocean, about superhumans, “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 went under the water, "- it is said, for example, in one ancient Egyptian papyrus (related to the end of the second millennium BC) . In fact, almost all these legends (myths, tales, legends) speak of one civilization - antediluvian. Numerous finds, theories and assumptions of "atlantologists" - the seekers of the lost Atlantis, as well as Lemuria, Mu, etc., speak about it. The remains of an 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 letters, ancient maps, giant ground geometric shapes 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 each (with a processed, polished surface) were used. And the builders not only delivered these hulks from afar (it is believed, more than two hundred kilometers, 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, setting them vertically. Stonehenge means "hanging stones" in Old English. In ancient times, it was also called the “Dance of the Giants” and its creation was attributed to the sorcerer Merlin, a mythological character of British legends.
According to legend, Stonehenge's stones 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 substantiated it very convincingly: he suggested that Stonehenge is an ancient astronomical observatory. Some believe that it was a computer center. Megalithic structures, similar to Stonehenge, there are in many other places in the world ("stonehenge" 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 in the legends of the Indian tribe living on the island, it is told: the statues themselves came from the quarry in which they were carved, they were moved by a certain mysterious power- manu. Also in the legends there are many references to strange bird people who descended from the sky; it follows from these legends that the bird people possessed advanced flight technology.
At the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in the very center of the Bermuda Triangle in the early 1990s was discovered giant pyramid- it's three times bigger the famous pyramid Cheops. Perhaps this underwater object is the key to unraveling the "mystery of the Bermuda Triangle", that is, the inexplicable phenomenon of disappearance in this " anomalous zone» ships and planes. The faces of the pyramid are made of a material similar to glass or polished ceramics (it can hardly be a mere coincidence that the Egyptian pyramid of Cheops was described exactly in this way in Arabic sources, the lining of which sparkled under the sun). The famous American atlantologist Charles Berlitz writes in his books: the pyramid in the Bermuda Triangle has existed since the time of Atlantis, and in the frame of this pyramid there is some very powerful power plant.
In China, it turns out, there are also 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 the 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 of such grandiose objects in China, which, it seems, should 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 did the German archaeologist Hartwig Hausdorff manage 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 today these pyramids are not being explored 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 turn all our ideas about life on Earth. Chinese archaeologist Wong Shiping claims that the pyramids are arranged in accordance with astronomical aspects and are an example of the incredible knowledge of geometry and mathematics that ancient people had.
From this it is clear how weak the “traditional” explanation of the purpose of the pyramids offered by “Egyptologists with Chinese characteristics” looks like “tombs of Chinese emperors”. According to more serious researchers, the pyramids are just part of a giant 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 millennia ago descended to earth on their metal "fire-breathing dragons".
The “sons of the sky” (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 are archaeological finds pointing to this), or simply demons, which, as the Holy Scripture says, 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, which looked like a 7-kilometer artificial super-pyramid, was once the North Pole, and Easter Island was at the opposite end of the planet. If you mentally connect Mount Kailash with one line Egyptian pyramids 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 rather, an 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 powerful Atlanteans who lived on earth in time immemorial, - writes E. Muldasheva in the book "From whom we came." - Special literature (E. P. Blavatsky, Eastern religions, etc.) says that before us there were several civilizations on Earth, the level of development of which was much higher than ours ... Nostradamus wrote (1555) that the people of the previous civilization, whom he called the Atlanteans, possessed due to the "third eye" bioenergetic influence on gravity. Therefore, they could easily move 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 just 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. - Auth.)that destroyed the Atlanteans, the axis of rotation of the Earth changed and the poles shifted.
The last statement seems to be consistent with what Christian creation scientists say about the consequences of the Flood. However, we, of course, should not forget that the revelations of such "great initiates and clairvoyants" as Nostradamus, Blavatsky, Vanga (who, it seems, also spoke of an ancient highly developed civilization), should always be treated critically, because, as warns us the Orthodox Church, these "prophets" are not from God.
In Mexico, one of the places where the pyramids were discovered is ancient city Aztec Teotihuacan. The 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, the pyramids were built by the Atlanteans- kiname ". The substantiation of the hypothesis that the builders of the Indian pyramids were not the Indians, but the "legendary Atlanteans" (i.e., the antediluvian builders of the pyramids), 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 miracle structures, made a “logical” (from the point of view of a primitive pagan) conclusion that they built all these bulks and “gods” lived here, and began to use these structures for religious purposes, for which they made superstructures (temples, altars, etc.) and set up idols - to honor the "deities", i.e. demons.
The Bible says that the gods of the Gentiles are demons. Among the Mayan peoples, the main deity and the mythical creator of civilization is the flying serpent Quetzalcoatl, that is, presumably, Satan. In general, the Maya were a rude and cruel people, and their culture was primitive. They practiced human sacrifices, during which the priests took out a still beating heart from the chest of the victim and showed it to the jubilant crowd. Not all experts agree that the ancient Indians are related to astronomical measurements. The dwellings of the Indians 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 with 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 unworked or primitively processed small stones, fastened 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 some ancient highly developed civilization created them; and the pyramids did not perform a funerary function, but were built as energy-information structures, forming in their totality a kind of 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 that traces of visitation and creation should remain in the monuments of the most ancient culture of mankind space aliens. Adherents of this theory claim that aliens, like the true builders of the pyramids, encoded some valuable information in their creations. In general, fantasies about the extraterrestrial origin of the pyramids are diverse. For example, according to some versions: aliens flew to Earth, built pyramids and other mysterious objects, and then either went home, or they were destroyed by "earthlings". And there is such an option: aliens destroyed the civilization of earthlings that built the pyramids, and all of today's humanity supposedly came from those aliens.
