Chapter 486: The Legendary Country of Atlantis
“Hello everyone, I am your host Ye Zhen.”
“Welcome to watch tonight’s “Into Popular Science”.” Ye Zhen still appeared on the TV screen on time.
“I believe everyone has seen the content in this trailer.
I saw that many people on the Internet are guessing where this place is.
< br>
Now I can reveal the answer to this mystery.
This is the lost city, the legendary country - Atlantis. ”
After hearing what Ye Zhen said, everyone watching the show was excited.
Although they had already expected it, this may be a very exaggerated place.
< br>But when the answer came out of Ye Zhen's mouth
Everyone still felt like their hairs were standing on end.
“Is it actually Atlantis?”
“Isn’t this an urban legend? Does it really exist?”
“No way, this Asia Isn’t Atlantis a super-ancient civilization?”
“Oh my god, are we going to witness history again?”
Some foreign experts were moved to tears at this time.
“I knew it was Atlantis.”
“This legendary country is real.”
“I have been looking for this all my life. Atlantis!”
There are legends about Atlantis.
It has been circulating for who knows how long.
Almost in every era, there are people who want to find this legendary country.
Ye Zhen and everyone popularized science: "The first person to record Atlantis.
It was the Western philosopher Plato.
Everyone should know Plato.
The place Atlantis was first mentioned in his "Dialogues".
It is precisely because of this that future generations know that such a place still exists in the world.
A legendary country.
All this comes from Plato's "Dialogues".
Atlantis is also known as the Great Western State or the Great Western Kingdom.
Plato's books contain descriptions of Atlantis.
Opposite the Pillars of Hercules, there is a large island.
This island is so huge that it can even be called a continent.
From there you can go to the other islands, opposite those islands.
It is a whole piece of land surrounded by the ocean. This is the Kingdom of Atlantis.
This is the earliest record of Atlantis.
But at that time, Atlantis encountered something more than 10,000 years ago.
Encountered a world-destroying flood.
This country was destroyed.
In less than a day and night, it completely became a place that the ship could not reach.
It became an obstacle for the Greeks to travel by sea.
According to legend, the king of Atlantis was the legendary Poseidon, the god of the sea.
On a small island, there was a girl whose parents died. Poseidon married the girl and gave birth to five sets of twins.
So Poseidon divided the entire island into ten districts and gave them to each of his ten sons to rule.
And the eldest son is the supreme ruler.
Because this eldest son was called "Atlas" (τλα), the country was called the Kingdom of Atlantis. "
While popularizing science, Ye Zhen wrote some important information on the small whiteboard behind him.
"In the Acropolis in the center of the Atlantis continent.
There are temples dedicated to Poseidon and his wife and temples dedicated to Poseidon.
After all, Poseidon, the god of the sea, is their god and their father.
The interior of this temple is decorated with gold, silver, brass and ivory.
There are shipyards on the coast of Atlantis. The docks are crowded with trireme warships, and the docks are filled with merchant ships and merchants from all over the world.
The Kingdom of Atlantis is very prosperous and powerful. In addition to the rich products of the island itself, there will be a steady flow of trade from surrounding countries.
And will contribute offerings from their own country.
It can be said to be a very powerful country.
This is all recorded in Plato's books.
For this reason, this is the first time that everyone knows about this mysterious country.
But after so many years, some historians have not discovered this legendary country.
Atlantis was once believed by some historians to be a real existence.
But they searched all over the map and couldn't find this country.
Other historians believe this.
This Atlantis is not a real country at all.
It is an ideal country invented and imagined by Plato.
They think this is the 'Utopia' imagined by Plato.
Rather than what actually exists in reality. ”
This is also the biggest controversy in so many years.
Mainstream science believes that Atlantis is simply impossible to exist.
It’s just fictitious.
Because even Plato himself came back from hearsay.
Heard it from his cousin Coricias.
Coricias heard it from his great-grandfather Dropeters.
Zropeters heard it from the mouth of Solon, the famous political reformer and poet in Athens at that time.
So Plato was not the first person to know about Atlantis.
Speaking of Solon, he is a very famous adventurer.
I have traveled to Egypt and other ancient countries.
After Solon resigned from office, he spent 10 years roaming in Egypt, Cyprus, Asia Minor and other places.
After returning to China, he lived in seclusion and wanted to write the legends about Atlantis he heard in Egypt into a long narrative poem for future generations.
But this story has been written by Plato in the "Dialogues". That's why the country of Atlantis is known to everyone.
The audience finally knows the origin of Atlantis.
"Is this how the legend of Atlantis came about?"
"This is the first time I know about it."
"I originally thought it was just made up by others."
“So does Atlantis actually exist?”
This is also what some domestic historians and archaeologists want to know.
"Solon visited ancient Egypt? Isn't there a Sphinx in ancient Egypt?"
"Legend has it that this is what was left from Atlantis."
< br>“Isn’t this all connected?”
“If the Sphinx is real, doesn’t it mean that Atlantis is also real!”
If It’s true, so where is this place?
In fact, many historians and archaeologists firmly believe in Atlantis.
This legendary country does exist.
For this reason, many people work hard all their lives to find this lost city.
But there is no result.
Professor Yan Xin listened to Ye Zhen’s popular science.
"This Atlantis is a country that existed before the great flood."
"There were no countries like Greece and Athens at that time."
Some researchers laughed: " Obviously this is a way for Western countries to add gold to their own reputation.”
Plato is also a human being, and he only heard it from other people’s mouths.
It is inevitable that you will add your own personal emotions.
Lao Wu and Si Xiaoping in Yanshengli.
They are already missing Professor Zhou.
“I don’t know, how is Lao Zhou doing?” Lao Wu thought.
Si Xiaoping smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Wu, Professor Zhou is safe now."
Old Wu glanced at Si Xiaoping, "Then where do you think Mr. Zhou went. ”
"Why don't you say it?"
Si Xiaoping looked embarrassed. He had promised Ye Zhen about this.
The affairs of Bureau 749 need to be kept confidential.
"Old Wu, please don't force me. I promised others not to reveal it."
But Old Wu understood it and was just complaining.
The less you know, the safer Professor Zhou will be.
“Let’s watch Mr. Ye’s show, Mr. Wu.”
“Do you think Atlantis really exists?” Si Xiaoping asked very cleverly. topic.
Old Wu looked at the ceiling, "I know some archaeologists."
"I have spent my whole life trying to prove that this legendary country is real."
“Some archaeologists even say that their ancestors came from Atlantis.”
“I have always wanted to find Atlantis, saying that this is their hometown.”
"As for whether it's true or not, I don't know."
This is the first time Si Xiaoping has heard about this.
Atlantis? Have your ancestors been searching for you?
Si Xiaoping admires such people very much.
I feel like the spirit of Foolish Old Man moving mountains.
In the 749th game.
Song Xuan said: "This Atlantis has experienced a great flood."
"It should have sunk in the sea."
Professor Zhou nodded, "That's true. Many current movies and animations."
"It is said that this legendary city is underwater."
"It is a "City in the Water."
Everyone has seen many similar artistic creations.
As long as Atlantis is mentioned, it is in the deep sea without exception.
"If this is the case, such a country sunk under the water."
"How can we find it?" Ning Xiu didn't understand, it was too difficult.
In the White Swan Hotel, Celia and his party also stayed in the presidential suite.
Sister Celia was sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Looking at Ye Zhen on the TV screen.
The other three priests stood aside.
"Is it another super-ancient civilization site?"
"Atlantis." Sister Celia said softly.
As believers in Christianity, of course they do not believe in the existence of Atlantis.
Why?
It’s simple, because it’s not written in the Bible!
Since it has not been written, of course it does not exist.
Also in the White Swan Hotel, there were Isis and the others.
At this time, the two of them fell in love with China and the food here.
Especially the takeaway and milk tea here, they are obsessed with it.
When will there be such a service in the United States?
And the subway here in Yangcheng is clean and bright.
There is no urine smell, no drunks, and no garbage everywhere.
This made both Isis and Tom feel that they had been deceived by the Western media.
They don’t believe this is actually China?
This place is actually more civilized and advanced than the world's number one country, the United States.
This simply overturned their previous understanding.
Isis watched Ye Zhen’s program, “Atlantis, I really want to see it.”
Tom smiled and said, “I don’t know if this legendary city exists yet. It exists."
Isis shook his head, "It will definitely exist. I believe Ye Zhen."
