Earth Arc - Sprout Chapter 62: Underwater Ruins
Sci-fi fan: Of course, even I wouldn't believe such a detailed narrative. But in modern times, with the rapid development of science and technology, we have advanced equipment that can explore deep oceans, so there are some amazing underwater discoveries.
Science fiction fans: In the summer of 1898, a ship was laying cables between Brester and Cape Ked. Suddenly, the submarine cable broke, and the ship's workers immediately rushed into the repair work. The accident took place 900 kilometres before the Azur Islands and was 3,100 metres deep. It has been found that the seabed here has the characteristics of a terrestrial mountain range, the surface of which is free of silt except for the valley floor, and the rocky apex is sharp-pointed.
Sci-fi fans: The crew brought back a rock, which has been kept at the School of Mines. "Basalt glass" aroused great interest among geologists. This basalt rock has not hardened in the water, but it has hardened in the air. As a result, geologists concluded that the rock had been subjected to atmospheric pressure, and that the seabed rocks of this place had been exposed to the water in the past, along with the surrounding area. Apparently, a cataclysmic change in the earth's crust occurred a long time ago that caused it to sink 3,000 meters.
Science fiction fans: In 1967, when a pilot of the United States was flying low in the Eight Hamas Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, he discovered a huge rectangular object a few meters underwater. The following year, an expedition from the United States discovered the ruins of an ancient temple 30 meters long and 25 meters wide in a rectangular shape under the sea near the island of Andros, and a large flat and processed rock platform found 5 meters below the sea near the island of Bimini. The expedition concluded that there was once a rock-built mainland city in the vicinity of the Eight Hamas in the distant past. Scientists have also found other rock-cut structures at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, including fortifications, walls, docks and roads. The arrangement and shape of the underwater buildings are very consistent with the legendary Atlantis.
Science fiction fans: In 1967, the submarine "Alumino" of the United States found an "undersea road" along the coasts of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. If the "Alumino" is equipped with two special wheels, it will be able to move like a car on a flat road.
Science fiction fans: On September 2, 1968, the exploration team found a wide slate of flat rectangular or polygonal stones on the seabed near the island of Bimini, with stones on each side 5 meters long and 50-150 centimeters thick, each stone estimated to weigh 25 tons. The entire slate floor is 70 meters long and 10 meters wide.
Sci-fi fan: One scientist said that the ground was made up of large pieces of neat rock glued together with something similar to cement. This large-scale building was named the "Bimini Wall". According to an article published by one scholar, the façade of the wall is very straight, the stones on the wall are very flat, and the whole building is solid and stable. There are some traces on the inside of the stone, which are believed to be left by tool chiseling. For thousands of years, the wall has withstood wave erosion and hurricanes.
Sci-fi fan: Subsequently, a new team of detectives discovered that the upper layer of stone was covered by 4 pillars. Since then, archaeologists have affirmed that the "wall" found is an artificial structure. Several surveys were carried out to confirm the original assumptions. In 1971, the explorers opened some holes at the foot of the east wall and found a layer of rocks underneath, made of 6 centimeters of cement poured under the first layer of rock. It has been speculated that this may be the remnants of an unknown highly civilized society.
Science fiction fans: Since 1968, people have been discovering huge stone buildings lying under the ocean in the area of Bimini Island, such as streets, docks, city walls, doorways, etc., which are very similar to the prehistoric ruins of Salzpolis in the south of the Eagle Kingdom, Stonehenge and the Dilint megalithic wall. According to the fossilized mangrove roots that grow on these structures, they are at least 12,000 years old. The seabed buildings are well-structured and majestic, and the stone streets are wide and flat, and the pavement is arranged in various patterns by some rectangular or regular polygonal stones.
Science fiction fans: In the early 70s of the 20th century, a group of scientific researchers came to the vicinity of the Yasur Islands in the Atlantic Ocean and extracted the core from the seabed at a depth of 800 meters.
Science fiction fans: In 1974, an oceanographic research ship of the former Speed Union took 8 photos of the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, and it is clear from the photos that in addition to the decaying seagrass, there are submarine mountains, ancient castle walls and stone staircases. These photographs are enough to prove that this area was once land and inhabited by humans.
Science fiction fans: In 1979, scientists from the United States and the developed countries used advanced instruments to find a pyramid on the bottom of the Bermuda triangle, with a bottom of 300 meters long and 200 meters high, and the spire is only 100 meters from the ocean, which is larger than the pyramid of Aiji. There are two huge caves in the lower part of the tower, and the sea water flows through the caves at an alarming speed. Studies have shown that it is older than the Egyptian pyramids.
Sci-fi fans: In 1985, two Norvi sailors discovered an ancient city beneath Bermuda's triangular sea zone. The photographs taken show plains, large roads and streets, domed houses, gladiatorial arenas, monasteries, riverbeds, etc., which are the same as those depicted in Porato. The results of the sonar scan of the sea surface research ship in the ancient eight offshore are shocking - the white boulder phalanx on the bottom of the sea is neatly arranged, and the whole image is like the ruins of a city suddenly engulfed by the sea, with an area of 16 square kilometers.
Science fiction fans: A scientist discovers an unusually difficult mystery that it is impossible for nature to pose such a regular phalanx of boulders. Another scientist revealed that eight buildings similar to giant pyramids were found in the area, and the pyramids were distributed according to the axis. As for other Stonehenge, you can vaguely distinguish between "town squares", "buildings" and "public facilities".
Sci-fi fans: In May 2013, Hachishi and Toei discovered a continent similar to Atlantis on the ocean floor, the location of which is consistent with what Porato said.
Science fiction fans: In December 2013, at the bottom of the Azul Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, a fisherman used sonar detection method to find a huge pyramid on the bottom of the sea with a height of 60 meters and a width of 80 meters, located 40 meters below the surface of the sea, with the ridge lines facing due east, west, south and north, similar to the pyramid of Giza. Biologists, ethnographers, geologists, anthropologists and archaeologists have shown that vast swaths of the ocean floor have been found on the ocean floor, from the Azul Islands to the Bermuda Islands, which were once exposed to the water.
Science fiction fans: There is so much "evidence" that there was indeed a continent in the Atlantic Ocean 12,000 years ago, and that there was a highly developed civilization on the continent. But for some reason, the entire continent sank to the bottom of the sea, and all the civilizations on the continent were destroyed. The specific causes of the prehistoric flood and earthquake are unknown.
