Search Atlantis: Getting Closer

Around 355 BC Plato describes an ancient exotic island kingdom catastrophic buried beneath the sea, when his people virtuous times angered the gods with their indulgence in sin and corruption. The city of Atlantis was a wonder of architecture and engineering. The city was composed of a series of walls and concentric canals around 9,000 years before the time of Plato. When the people of Atlantis became corrupt and greedy, the gods decided to destroy them. A violent earthquake shook the earth, rode giant waves on the shore, and the island sank into the sea, never to be seen again. In the book of Plato's Timaeus, a character named Kritias describes an account of Atlantis has been in his family for generations. According to the character, an Egyptian priest told the story of his ancestor, Solon.

The first thing to realize is that it would be surprising that the description of Atlantis by Plato is precise and exact, not because Plato was not true, but because the story has been passed down through thousands of years , first orally and not in writing. This description reached by Plato Egyptian priests. It would be difficult to pinpoint the exact date of the submerged Atlantis for the same reason. However, there is little doubt that the whole truth would be in the history prior to 3300 BC. There is no example of the drafting of full descriptions prior to 3300 BC. Some elements of writing brief description of the symbols shown with lots is all that exists in the form of writing from a period prior to 3300 BC. The names, size and time are perhaps inventions or modifications of the story was handed down through the centuries.

The essence of the story, that of a former well-planned and prosperous town known civilizations that preceded it on earth may be true. In fact, archaeologists and historians have postulated the existence of such a civilization. Scheduled cities and other technologies suddenly begun to spring in the Indus Valley, Mesopotamia and Egypt during the period from 3500 to 3000 BC, as if they had fallen from the sky. Since the design and construction of these cities involved technical skills that take time to develop, it was suspected that they came from a civilization that has developed has not yet been discovered. Various suggestions were made as to Atlantis could be located from the Antarctic, South America and even other planets.

A line of the survey is to find out where the Egyptian priests obtained the story of Atlantis. Management is the most probable or Sumer ancient Mesopotamia. There is also the possibility that the first priests of Egypt dynastic were actually Akkadians - Sumerian. The first pharaoh of Egypt-dynastic Menes unified upper and lower Egypt, and built a new capital in Memphis by diverting a portion of the Nile. The technical skills required for all of this seems to be in Mesopotamia. It takes a lot of time and learning to develop the necessary skills, even if one is very bright. There is no evidence of those existing in Egypt before Menes (or Manas, the Egyptians did not write vowels and they must be guessed). Menes and its priests and engineers were likely although all Mesopotamians of the labor force was local. In any event, even if it is challenged Menes and that its engineers are not in Mesopotamia, it can not be denied that Egypt had links with several Mesopotamia that went beyond mere trade.

In addition, the likelihood of being Atlantis stories of Sumer origin is reinforced by the fact that the flooding of the ancient cities has been a strong part of the Sumerian mythology. It dominates their historical tradition. The destruction of the ancient city as a result of sin was also part of their beliefs. Therefore, there is a strong likelihood that the ancient city of Atlantis is an old town submerged Sumerians.

If one traces the origin of the story of Atlantis to Sumerians can inquire as to who were the Sumerians, and where they came from? They are not local people, because they speak a foreign language to the parties. For a long time it was thought that their language is an isolated case, unrelated to other languages. However, the situation has now changed as a result of new studies. The study of language, as well as anthropological examination of the skeletons Sumerian can trace their origins.

It was found that the Sumerian Austric language is a language spoken by a group of former Australoid people in India, Southeast Asia and Australia (Austric The Origin of the Sumerian language, Language Form, vol. 22 , No. 1 - 2, 01-12. 1996). . An examination of the old Sumerian skulls has also confirmed that the ancient Sumerians Australoid actually belonged to the race. A branch has evolved from the same tribe seems to have created the Indus Valley Civilization, as well as the Sumerian one after the immersion of their coastal cities. In northern and western India that they would have encountered Neolithic people of Indo-European origin with which they have established a workforce of the Indus cities. An analysis of skeletal remains of the Indus valley confirms this mixture. The Sumerian language persist alongside local languages as in the official language of the rulers being Sumerian. In the Indus Valley, Sumerian would have persisted with Aryan languages. So far, researchers have tried to decipher the Indus script based on a comparison with the Aryan and Dravidian languages, and it has failed. An attempt may be more successful if they made Austric used for this purpose. As in Mesopotamia, ancient Sumerian was eventually replaced by the language of the majority (Akkadians) in the Indus valley, it was finally replaced by an Indo-Aryan language.

If we assume for the moment that the Sumerians originally from the west coast of India and their ancient capital, which submerged then we must ask whether any such evidence has been found. The recent discovery made in the Gulf of Cambay, made some sit and watch with interest. It has clearly established the existence of an ancient civilization that has been immersed in the sea The methods adopted for this study were new and different, in which advanced marine technology of the most modern and scientific applications from different disciplines have been put into service. Most of the structures that have been discovered in the Gulf of Cambay had many similarities to the Citadel, Great Bath, grid home, attic, etc. of the Harappan civilization. But many artifacts and the types are different and distinctive, and with the presence of many microorganisms tools appears to be much older than the Harappan. The north of the city was right pieces of pottery, etc. mud wattle around 7506 BP leave. She said well-organized city life. Therefore, it is possible that this metropolis came after BP 8450, but before 7506 BP. After the flooding on the southern shore of the metropolis, the former appears to have changed and founded the north of the metropolis. This beautiful metropolis of twins prehistoric Cambay lasted about 13,000 to about 3,000 BP BP makes it the oldest and largest city of civilization not only in Asia but also throughout the world. Scientists described in a manner similar to Plato, the submersion of the city due to violent earthquakes, and floods. The existence of a submerged circular port as described by Plato was also found in the vicinity of the site. In addition the area has gold, elephants and coconut as in Plato's Atlantis. The existence of other cities in the region can still be found at the continuation of underwater explorations.

An important question is whether Atlantis actually existed in the Indian sub-continent then it should be of some records in India since India itself has had a written literature since ancient times. In Islam, an old and well-known Hindu scripture there is a specific account about the flooding of the city by the sea, which reads:

"The sea, which had been beating against the shores, suddenly broke the boundary that was imposed by nature. The sea rushed into the city. It coursed through the streets of the city. The sea covered everything in the city. Even if they were all looking, Arjuna saw the beautiful buildings becoming submerged one by one. Arjuna took a last look at the house of Krishna. The sea covered soon. In a matter of a few moments, it is all the more . The sea had now as placid as a lake. There was no trace of the beautiful city, which had been the favorite haunt of all the Pandavas. Dwaraka was just a name; Just a memory. "

The important thing to note here is that the city is described by Arjuna Aryan origin as a city of Krishna, which was dark, as dark Sumerians. Thus, based on this study considers that the author is a former Atlantis submerged city on the west coast of India. Not all the evidence and arguments of this analysis could be presented here because of the brevity of this article. The capital city of Atlantis is probably not yet discovered and may require further exploration in the coastal region.
