Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Lost Civilization

[[[cp|w:250|h:190|a:c]]] Lost civilization

After the last long talk with Xingtian, Lan Xingyi has been busy these days, she is looking around for information, and she is also very puzzled. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Could it be that there was really a very developed ancient civilization on the earth 10,000 years ago, and this civilization has reached the level of being able to emit radio waves? It's incredible how it then disappeared out of thin air, and disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace, and even the pervasive human archaeology did not mention this civilization in the slightest! Is it because human archaeology has not touched the relics of this civilization, or is their relics in the unsolved mysteries of human archaeological history, and human beings are blind to them?

A huge question mark plagued Lan Xingyi, and also drove her to move deeper into history, and she couldn't help but have doubts in the process. Did there really be a prehistoric civilization on Earth, or was the chronicle of Lyra 1 wrong? If there is a mistake in the record, it will be forgotten once or twice, Xingtian said, it can be received for a long time before, it seems that this matter is not like a historian of Tianqin No. 1 fabricated out of thin air, so let's step down and work hard to find it! She dug through a large amount of historical material in the library, and finally found clues in an inauthoritative history of the world, which is different from other history books, which does not begin with the Stone Age, nor from ancient stone frescoes, but from an ancient legend, which is quoted from Plato's Dialogues. Lan Xingyi hurriedly read the legend and hurriedly checked Plato's dialogues, and finally found an unsatisfactory answer, and then she searched for relevant information, sorted out the day and finally had an eyebrow, and that night she returned to the farmhouse she rented before - No. 29 Xishan Tomb!

Lan Xingyi came much later this time than the last time, and after entering the house, she didn't wait long for the Holy Grail at the top of the pyramid to move, and soon the Holy Grail lit up, Lan Xingyi quickly opened her hand, and the crystal ball jumped out of the Holy Grail impatiently, and flew into Lan Xingyi's hand. Lan Xingyi closed her eyes and held the crystal ball and thought for a while, the crystal ball started to light, and soon the dark blue light illuminated the dark room, and the two horse-headed monsters before appeared again. "Lan Xingyi! Lan Xingyi! Lan Xingyi! The young horse-headed monster called out in a deep voice.

Lan Xingyi slowly opened her eyes and said to the elderly horse-headed monster with a little tiredness, "Star Lord, are you sure that our Tianqin-1 received a radio signal from Earth 10,000 years ago?" ”

"Yes, what's wrong with that?" The older horse-headed monster asked, confused.

"I've checked the information for a long time, and there is no conclusive evidence of the existence of this ancient civilization on this planet, and even if there is, it is all legends, and the credibility is not high!"

"Oh? How can this be, our planet has clear records, and more than once or twice, it is recorded in the chronicles of our tribe, including several surrounding tribes! It's just that at that time, our radio technology was still in its infancy, and it was a signal that crossed civilizations, and at that time we were not able to decipher what they sent, and we did not know what their radio signals contained! One thing is for sure, these signals are continuous, regular, and by no means naturally formed, which is hard to imagine without reaching a certain level of civilization! Xingtian said with certainty.

"Why do you have to find out the source of this signal?" Lan Xingyi asked puzzled.

"Our task now is to find the power to continue the civilization, since this civilization could have developed to the point of having a radio 10,000 years ago, if the civilization can survive to this day, then their experience is the human power we desperately need!"

"But they were destroyed!" Lan Xingyi said helplessly.

"That can be used as a negative lesson for us!" Xingtian is very optimistic. "Tell me about the legend you found!"

"I just saw a few words in Plato's Dialogues!" Lan Xingyi said very rigorously. "According to legend, at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, there is a sunken country, and it is said that it is the Great Western Kingdom, also called Atlantis! The people who live in that country are the Atlanteans, the standard height of the legendary Atlanteans is more than three meters, many people have superpowers, such as teleportation, perspective, etc., and they have also mastered nuclear energy. Plato said in his book "Criz" that the Great Western Kingdom was originally the center of civilization in the world. The country is larger than Libya and Asia Minor combined, and its influence extends all the way to Egypt and the Tyrrhenian Sea. Later, the Great Western Kingdom waged wars against Egypt, Greece, and all the peoples of the Mediterranean coast. In its heyday, the sphere of influence of the Great Western Kingdom was not limited to the surrounding Atlantic islands, but as far as Europe, Africa, and the Americas! Once the Great Western Kingdom waged war against Athens, the Athenians put up a desperate resistance and repelled the Atlantean army. Shortly thereafter, the continent of Atlantis sank in the turbulent Atlantic Ocean in a massive earthquake. ”

"It turned out to be a warlike people, destroyed by natural disasters!" Xingtian concluded. "Then how did this Great Western Kingdom come about?"

"Legend has it that the founder of the Great Western Kingdom was Poseidon, who married a beautiful girl at the time, Kleto, who bore Poseidon five twin sons. Poseidon divided the Great Western Kingdom into ten parts and gave them to his ten sons, who were the first ten regent of the Great Western Kingdom. Poseidon's eldest son, Atlantis, is the heir to the throne of Onishi, and the first ten regent agreed not to fight each other, and one side is in trouble and nine sides are supporting! ”

"That's a good idea, it's kind of interesting!" Xingtian smiled. "Before the fall of the Great Western Kingdom, what was the standard of living of the people?"

"Plato recorded that the Great Western Kingdom was rich in natural resources, and crops were harvested twice a year. People mostly depend on farming, mining precious metals such as gold and silver, and domesticating wild beasts for their livelihood. Flowers are everywhere in the cities and wilderness of the Great Western Country, and there are also people who make a living by refining perfumes! The city is densely populated, with gardens and tall buildings such as temples, amphitheaters, colosseums, and public baths made of red, white and black marble. The wharf was filled with merchant ships, and merchants from many countries traded with the Great Western Kingdom! Atlantis maintained its prosperity and affluence under its unique system, and the people who lived here were gentle, virtuous, not indulging in great wealth, and respecting virtue in everything. The Great Western Kingdom is getting stronger and stronger, and as time passes, generations change, the noble ideas become weaker and weaker, and the king of the Great Western Kingdom has become more ambitious! Driven by insatiable ambition, he decides to wage war and conquer the whole world. However, a powerful earthquake and the ensuing flood caused the entire Great Western Kingdom to disappear without a trace in one day and one night! ”

"When did this happen?" Xingtian asked.

"According to Plato's statement in another book, it was about 11,150 years ago!"

"Almost, according to our chronicles, it was at that time that we never received a radio signal from this planet again!" Xingtian calculated. "It seems that Plato's account is still very well documented!"

Yes, Plato has also talked about this issue many times, he said that the situation of the Great Western Kingdom has been passed down orally through the ages, and it is by no means his own fiction, so he also personally went to Egypt to consult the most prestigious monks of the time, which shows the rigor of Western philosophers! Plato's teacher Socrates also said when talking about the Great Western Kingdom that the existence of the Great Western Kingdom is indeed a fact, much better than fictional stories! ”

"Then there is no record of this continent you logged into?" Xingtian said dissatisfied.

"Yes, there is no record of the Atlanteans in China!" Lan Xingyi was speechless.

"Is there any other corroborative evidence?" Xingtian asked in a calm tone again.

"Yes! There's proof of it in the Mayan culture! Lan Xingyi replied affirmatively. Similar descriptions can be found in the manuscripts of ancient Mexican writings preserved in Vatican City and in the works of the Indian civilization of the United Mexican States. According to the book, there have been four generations of human beings on the earth. The first generation of humans were giants, destroyed by hunger; The second generation of humanity was destroyed by a great fire; The third generation of humans is ape-man, destroyed by cannibalism; The fourth generation of humanity is the Atlanteans, who were destroyed by a great flood! ”

"That's a bit of a hanging! Doesn't sound like it's true! Xingtian shook his head suspiciously. If this is the case, then this greenhouse-like planet is also full of dangers, and human beings are also full of disasters! ”

"Beyond that!" Lan Xingyi continued. Edgar Cayce's prophecy also mentions Atlantis, and many of the details are very consistent with Plato's dialogues, but there are some differences, especially the history of the existence and demise of the Atlanteans. According to Plato, the fall of Atlantis occurred in 'one day and one tragic night', and Cayce believes that the fall of Atlantis was caused by three great upheavals. The first mutation took place 50,000 years ago, and although it lost part of the continent, it continued to thrive as a civilization in Atlantis. Fifteen thousand years ago, there was a second mutation, and the continent was divided into several giant islands, and people left one after another. The last mutation occurred 10,000 years ago, and this super civilization finally could not withstand such a huge upheaval and disappeared. The immigrants who followed the first and second upheaval and the Atlanteans who escaped the last mutation were widely distributed throughout the world. The legacy of the Atlantean super-civilization crossed the far seas, contributing to the flourishing of Egyptian and Mayan civilizations. ”

"These two corroborates each other, and it sounds like there is some credibility!"

"Not really!" Lan Xingyi hurriedly denied it. "Some scholars of Plato's philosophy have a negative attitude towards the existence of Atlantis for two reasons: first, Plato's purpose is to promote the idea of the 'ideal state', in order to make it easier for people to understand this idea, so that the story of Atlantis is fictional, and the Atlanteans are ideal people; Proving that the Athenians have a substance and power that surpasses all mankind, in the hope of invigorating the corrupt Athenian descendants. Especially at the end of the story, the Atlanteans had great wealth, initially honest and kind, with otherworldly intelligence, and lived a carefree life, but over time, the Atlanteans began to swell their ambitions, and they began to send armies to conquer the surrounding countries. Life became corrupt and depraved, and the endless extravagance and moral degradation finally angered the gods, so Zeus, the king of the gods, sent an earthquake and a flood to the island of Onishi overnight, and Atlantis was finally swallowed up by the sea and disappeared into the unfathomable Atlantic! ”

"Well, it's true that these sound more like legends, and there's no evidence!" Xingtian sighed.

"But Egypt and the Maya have pyramids!" Lan Xingyi said lightly.

"What? Pyramid? Are you saying that both Egypt and Maya had pyramids? Xingtian asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Lan Xingyi said firmly.

"Then it seems that our early radio signals came from the Atlanteans is undoubted, the pyramid is a symbol of advanced civilization, it is difficult for human civilizations like Egypt and Maya to build pyramids independently, there must be a unified civilization guidance! Is there any other evidence? Xingtian asked.

After Columbus discovered the American continent, many people suspected that the American continent was the legendary Atlantis, but this obviously did not match Plato's record, one was the geographical location, and the other was that since it was sunk, how could it be found again!

For centuries, people struggled to find the sunken Atlantis, until 1898 when things finally broke through. That summer, a ship was laying cables between Brest and Cape Cod. Suddenly, the submarine cable broke, and the ship's workers immediately dived to the bottom of the sea to work on emergency repairs. The site of the accident is 900 kilometers before the Azores, at a depth of 3,100 meters. Divers found that the seabed has the characteristics of terrestrial mountain ranges, the surface of which is free of silt except for the valley floor, and the rocky apex is sharp, pointed. The crew brought back a rock known as 'basalt glass', which geologists studied intensively and found that the basalt had not hardened in the water, but had hardened in the air. Therefore, geologists deduce that the rock was once subjected to atmospheric pressure, and that the seabed rocks used to be exposed to the water as in the surrounding area; The cataclysmic change of the earth's crust caused it to sink 3,000 meters; They were convinced that there was once a piece of land between Europe and the Americas that disappeared during the drastic geological upheaval!

One day in 1967, an American pilot was flying low in the Bahamas in the Atlantic Ocean when he suddenly discovered a huge rectangular object several meters underwater. The following year, an American expedition discovered the ruins of an ancient temple under the sea near Andros Island, 30 meters long and 25 meters wide, in a rectangular shape; A large platform of flat, processed rocks was found 5 meters below sea near the island of Bimini. The expedition thus concluded that, in the distant past, the seabed around the Bahamas was a continental city built of rock. Some scientists have also found rock-cut structures in several places at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, including fortifications, walls, docks, and roads. The arrangement and shape of these undersea structures are very consistent with the legendary Atlantis. Scientists have speculated on the basis of various discoveries that Atlantis, the ancient kingdom of the Great Western Ocean, which has disappeared, may have sunk to the bottom of the rough Atlantic Ocean

Later, in 1968, in the Atlantic Ocean near Bimini Island in the Bahamas, several divers found a large road paved with boulders lying on the bottom of the sea. It is an avenue made of rectangular and polygonal flat stones, the stones vary in size and thickness, but they are neatly arranged and have a sharp outline, which should not be naturally formed!

Soon after the incident was reported, a group of scientific researchers arrived near the Azores in the Atlantic Ocean. They extracted the core from the seabed at a depth of 800 meters, and after scientific identification, this place was indeed a land mass 12,000 years ago. The conclusions deduced by modern science and technology are strikingly consistent with Plato's description! In particular, in 1979, some scientists from the United States and France used very advanced instruments to discover the pyramids at the bottom of the Devil's Triangle in Bermuda, which further confirmed the history of Atlantis's existence!

Then, in 1985, two Norwegian sailors discovered an ancient city beneath the Devil's Triangle. In the photographs they took, there were plains, roads and streets, domed houses, gladiatorial arenas, monasteries, riverbeds, ....... The two sailors said: Absolutely do not doubt, we have found the Great Western Continent! Exactly as Plato depicted! ”

"In that case, is there anything to doubt about the existence of Atlantis?" Xingtian asked.

"Unfortunately, Bermuda's submarine pyramid was detected on the surface of the sea with instruments, and so far no scientist has been able to confirm whether it is a real man-made structure or not, and no one has confirmed that it is a site of the Great Western Kingdom! And before that, there were no photos at all, just the sightings of a few divers! Lan Xingyi explained.

"Well, it's hard to tell if this is a real story or a diver's hallucination without a field trip!" Xingtian lamented helplessly.

"Star Lord, don't worry, I have found a clue to uncover this civilization, and I may have a chance to use it in the near future! I'm going to go on a field trip and find out the whereabouts of my companions by the way! Lan Xingyi said confidently.

"That's great, you have to take care!" Xingtian said earnestly.

"Yes, I know!" Lan Xingyi nodded, and suddenly said very solemnly. "By the way, I'm coming over tomorrow to get my crystal ball!"

"Okay, got it!" Xingtian nodded in agreement.

Lan Xingyi stopped talking, closed her eyes and meditated, the light of the crystal ball began to dim, and the objects inside gradually blurred, and finally disappeared, and the room was pitch black. Lan Xingyi opened her eyes, raised her hand and threw the crystal ball into the holy grail at the top of the pyramid, and then sat on the sofa and fell asleep.
