Chen Yan is holding a coin in his hand, the size is equivalent to the diameter and thickness of a 5-jiao coin, but the weight is several times heavier than that of a 5-jiao coin, and it is placed in the palm of his hand, there is a feeling of indulgence, the color, the golden copper luster, shining like a flame, the obverse of the coin is a king wearing a crown, very well-cast, the demeanor of the head, the eyes, the mouth of the pursed mouth, and the curly hair like a lion fully embodies the majesty of the king, and the back is a pyramid shape.

Chen Yan determined that this metal was much more valuable than gold.

Because, firstly, among these treasures, there are about tens of thousands of coins, and there are only a dozen coins minted in this metal, while there are thousands of gold coins and tens of thousands of silver coins.

Second, the unit of the coin, Sykes, is 10 Sykes, a gold coin is 1 Sykes, and a silver coin is 1 Sykes.

Chen Yan turned on the computer to check a large amount of information, and soon, this high level of civilization opened up a corner to Chen Yan.

The legendary Atlantis.

Atlantis, also known as the Great Western Continent, the Great Western Kingdom.

The earliest mention of the legend of Atlantis is found in the ancient Greek philosopher Plato's Dialogues, and the story of Atlantis is found in the chapters of Timaeus and Coricias, written around 350 BC.

The Timaeus is a transcript of a conversation between Socrates and his three protégés in Athens in 421 B.C., in which Coricias tells others a legend that was told to Corisias' grandfather by the famous Athenian poet, statesman, and legislator Suron.

The story goes like this: "On one of Sulon's travels to Egypt, he met a priest in Maiez, who told him that, according to Egyptian history, around 9600 B.C., the Athenian army was engaged in a great battle with an army from the depths of the Atlantic, which was so arrogant that it was ready to attack all of Europe and then invade Asia.

The invaders came from an island called Osishou, located outside the Pillar of Helix (the Strait of Gibraltar), which was larger than North Africa and Asia Minor combined, and was the center of power of a powerful empire.

The empire included not only the nearby islands of the Atlantic, but also many places on the mainland. However, the Greeks were the leaders of many tribes and their morale was high. The military technology was very advanced, and after the neighboring tribes surrendered one after another, they had to resist alone...... Crushed the enemy's invasion plans, freed those who had not yet surrendered from slavery, and liberated other conquered city-states within the strait.

Later, a powerful earthquake and severe flooding struck Daxizhou, and in a day and night, all the warlike people were buried alive, and the land sank into the sea, leaving a sandbar of silt on the sea, so that part of the sea was not navigable. This is where Plato's account of the continent ends in Timaeus.

But in the unfinished dialogue "Coricias", Coricias talks about the continent again, this time in great detail.

The coast of the island is mountainous, with a large open and fertile plain in the center, and "although there is a great deal of foreign income from every corner of the empire, the island itself is self-sufficient in all the main necessities of life."

The island is rich in minerals, both solid and fusible, including a rare metal that is no longer seen today, called oralcosa,......。 ”

The story is very vivid and well documented, but there is no factual basis for it,......, so the existence of the continent has always been a mystery, and all kinds of speculations about the continent have arisen one after another in the turbulent millennium following the fall of the Roman Empire,.....。

By the 15th century, European history had entered a new phase, with a wave of exploration among Europeans, who were keen to find wealth and discover uncharted territory. The legendary lost continent of the Great West has once again set off a wave of exploration.

Subsequently, in the 400 years, more and more people studied the Great Western Continent, and scholars of various schools cited scriptures and classics, such as the Bible, classical writings, and ancient myths, to determine the location of the Great Western Continent.

So, did Plato's account of the Great Western Continent ever exist?

Where is it? Some people think that the Great West is a kingdom invented by Plato, and that it does not exist at all.

This reminds people of the story of the Trojan horse in ancient Greek mythology. Previously, the world thought it was a myth, but in the 19th century, a German made it a reality and discovered a lost civilization.

Whether or not the Great Western Continent is also a lost civilization remains a mysterious unsolved mystery.

Now, a coin in Chen Yan's hand seems to have uncovered a corner of the mystery of Atlantis.

The coin was minted as a metal with a golden-yellow copper sheen, glittering like a flame, and much more valuable than any other metal, Chen Yan guessed that this metal was orichalcum, mentioned in the chapter "Curicias", "The island is rich in minerals, both solid and fusible, including a rare metal that is no longer seen, called orichalcum,......。 ”

As for whether these treasures came from the Atlantean civilization, it is not enough to rely on a coin that appears to be minted in oralcos.

......

In this batch of treasures, it was counted, and the orichalcum? 17 coins were minted, 1,077 gold coins and 33,477 silver coins were minted.

Gold ware, 317 pieces, made of gold leaf, gold wire, there are many types of gold ware, Chen Yan according to the use of gold ware, the types are divided into three categories, the first category, gold ware related to religion, all kinds of utensils are engraved with sea beasts, waves, ships, and gods holding tridents, across the image of the whale, and other patterns, which shows that the civilization that cast these gold objects is a marine civilization.

The second category is the ornamental gold ware that is worn, on which are engraved the patterns of human heads, birds, animals, sea beasts, waves, and precious stones in the sea, including earrings, nose rings, necklaces, pins, bracelets, anklets, etc.

The third category, daily necessities, includes pots, cups, bowls, basins, saucers, fishing, knives, masks, incense burners, shrines, etc.

There are a total of 317 pieces of gold, each of which is fine, well-cast and exquisitely made.

Among them, a piece of gold armor, a golden statue of a cow, and a gold statue are absolutely priceless.
