Because the vast plain below the mountain is completely covered with green vegetation, the buildings that emerge from the canopy of trees are particularly conspicuous, some of them are like balls and some are like minarets, which can be seen at a glance in the typical Western castle architectural style, so we all find it incredible.

I thought back to the houses I had seen in the village at the bottom of the lake in my heart, and I couldn't connect the buildings in front of me with the big-headed villain, Lu Dachuan let me hold the spear in my hand, took out the binoculars and looked farther away, Liu Changjiao suspected that he was dreaming, and shouted for someone to pinch him, Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er were completely attracted by the jewels emanating from those roofs, you and I discussed which one was more beautiful, like two birds standing on the branches in the early morning chirping and chirping,

Lu Dachuan held the telescope and looked at it for a while, and then he was obsessed and repeated a sentence: "I should have thought of it, I should have thought of it......"

"It's time to think of something." I asked him a few more questions before he put down his binoculars, looked at me with a twinkle in his eyes and said, "Atlantis, this is Atlantis." ”

"Atlantis ......" I think this name is quite familiar, but I can't remember where I saw it.

Liu Changjiao, who heard us talking, exclaimed: "Oh my God, you said that this is the sunken Daxizhou." ”

Lu Dachuan glared at me fiercely, meaning to clean you up when he turned around, and then handed the telescope to Liu Changleg and said, "Look at the mountains in the distance, and the terrain on the plain below......"

After Liu Changleg raised the telescope, Lu Dachuan pointed out to him this ring and that ring, I couldn't understand what it meant, so I quickly took the opportunity to pull Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er to a few steps away, and asked them what was going on in Atlantis.

Lu Keqin looked at me in surprise and said, "Okay, why did you remember to ask this." ”

I pointed the spear in my hand at the bottom of the mountain and said, "Your brother says this is Atlantis." ”

"Ahh

Lu Keqin and Lin Xian'er both opened their mouths in surprise,

"Ahh I was so anxious that I stomped my feet,

Lu Keqin said: "Let Sister Xian'er tell you, I went over to see what my brother saw, and said that this is Atlantis." Saying that, she trembled so much that the leaves on her body rattled, and a gust of wind ran to Lu Dachuan's side,

I was afraid that Lin Xian'er couldn't help the curiosity in my heart, so I left me and left, looking at her pitifully,

Lin Xian'er looked at the bottom of the mountain, looked at me again and said: "Okay, okay, don't pretend to be pitiful, sister will popularize it for you, Atlantis, also known as the Great Western Continent or Great Western Kingdom, is an ancient continent with a high degree of civilization development that sank into the Atlantic Ocean 12,000 years ago.

The legend about the Great West Continent first appeared in the ancient Greek philosopher Plato's two famous dialogue works "Creech" and "Zimairi", in his detailed description, the Great West is a beautiful and rich civilized island country, located in the "Pillar of Hercules" outside the waves of the West Sea, that is, west of the Strait of Gibraltar today, in the vast Atlantic Ocean, with an area of 2072000 square kilometers.

The island has a mild climate, dense forests, abundant flowers and plants, and all kinds of fruits; There are fish in the river, elephants and other animals in the forest, and the island is rich in gold, silver, and the golden glittering copper that the ancients considered the most valuable.

The capital city in the center of the island is magnificent, especially the magnificent palaces and temples, which are decorated with gold, silver, oriches, and ivory, and the island has an extensive canal system, immaculate bridges, and a busy harbor day and night.

The twelve main islands of Daxizhou are ruled by twelve kings, the country is prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the just and holy sea god is considered to be the supreme lord of the island country, and the laws formulated by the sea god are engraved on a mountain bronze pillar, which is unanimously believed and admired by the people of Daxi Zhou.

Later, the society of the Great Western Continent began to corrupt, evil replaced holiness, greed for money and love of wealth, indulgence and hard work, poverty and luxury replaced natural virtue, and finally even launched a war of aggression against foreign countries in an attempt to enslave the inhabitants of the area east of the Strait of Gibraltar.

As a result, the god of the sea was angered, and the heavens were determined to severely punish those who betrayed the traditional beliefs of the Great Western Continent, and soon the disaster finally came, in a huge earthquake and flood, the entire Great Western Continent sank to the bottom of the sea in only one day and one night, and disappeared in the rolling waves.

This story sounds very mysterious, but Plato has repeatedly emphasized that it has been passed down from generation to generation, not his own fiction, in order to confirm the authenticity of this legend, it is said that Plato also personally went to Egypt and consulted famous monks,

There is also a theory that it was the sea god Poseidon who created the kingdom of Atlantis,

On a small island, Poseidon married a girl whose parents had died, and gave birth to five pairs of twins, and later Poseidon divided the whole island into ten districts, and gave his ten sons to rule, and his eldest son as the supreme ruler, because his eldest son was called Atlas, so he named the country the kingdom of "Atlantis".

In gratitude for the gift of his father Poseidon, the ten kings built a temple dedicated to Poseidon and their mother in the acropolis in the center of the continent.

They also built shipyards on the coast of Atlantis, built many warships, and their docks were bustling with merchant ships and merchants from all over the world every day.

The islands of Atlantis themselves are particularly rich in products, and there is a steady stream of tribute from Mediterranean countries such as Egypt and Syria, so their country is very rich and powerful, and the ten kings also have absolute power in their own territory, and they govern the country in their own ways, and in order to maintain communication with each other, they will hold a meeting in the Temple of Poseidon every five to six years to discuss their relationship with each other and the power of everyone to rule, and when the agreement is established, they will cut the throats of the bulls kept in the Temple of Poseidon, Write the letter of the resolution on the pillar of the temple of Poseidon with the blood of an ox to add to the sanctity of the authority of the resolution,

Unfortunately, these nations soon became corrupted, and Zeus, the head of the gods, punished the people for their depravity, causing earthquakes and floods, and the kingdom of Atlantis sank to the bottom of the sea in a day and night. ”

"Oh, that's what happened, I remember watching a movie where a super big ship was fighting against the flood, isn't that the story?"

"What a super big ship, you're talking about Noah's Ark."

"I guess so, I can't remember if I watched that movie when I was in junior high school or high school."

"Because of these legends, many archaeologists in the West have spent their lives on whether Atlanta really existed, and so far, most archaeologists prefer that Crete, located in the waters of the eastern Mediterranean, is closer to the historical geography of Atlanta," Lin said.

They are based on the fact that in 1870, the German archaeologist Sherriman excavated the ruins of Mycenae in the northeastern Peloponnese Peninsula in Greece, and 35 years later, the British archaeologist Evans excavated the ruins of an earlier Minoan civilization on the island of Crete.

These two archaeological masterpieces have caused a sensation in the world, and people have invariably associated them with the sunken Great Western Continent.

Many scholars believe that the present island of Crete is only a remnant of the island nation of Daxizhou, because Crete was the cradle of ancient European civilizations.

The 450 years from the 20th century to the 15th century BC were the golden age of the Minoan civilization, and their socio-economic and foreign trade were very developed, but after a period of prosperity of four or five hundred years, it suffered the same fate as the Great Western Continent: 'a sudden volcano, earthquake, tsunami erupted in succession, swallowing everything on the island,' the development of modern volcanology has confirmed that the natural forces that caused this catastrophe came from the island of Santolin (located about 113 kilometers north of Crete, A violent volcanic eruption and the ensuing tsunami, however, to draw an equal sign between Santorin, Crete, and the Great Western Continent, there is a difference of nearly 80 years and 720,000 square kilometers between the two,

Therefore, it has always been a mystery whether Atlantis has ever existed in history, and we were so lucky to have accidentally set foot on this legendary and mysterious continent in this underground river. ”

After Lin Xian'er finished telling me, although I have a general understanding of Atlantis, but my mind is a little confused, where is this, I don't learn well in the field, and I also know that the Atlantic Ocean and China are separated by more than 108,000 miles, Atlantis sank in the Atlantic, how can it appear under the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,

At this time, Lu Keqin ran over and hung on my arm in a frenzy, and his face was red with excitement: "It's really Atlantis, I saw the Temple of Cletto Poseidon, haha......"

"Really, I'll take a look." Lin Xian'er's eyebrows flew and ran towards Lu Dachuan,

After discovering that the continent they landed on was the legendary Atlantis, Lu Dachuan and they were not calm, and they had to go down to find out, although this side of the plain was not as overgrown with towering trees on the other side, and there were dense bushes in between, but it was as steep as a knife and an axe, so we had to go back the same way, and it was much easier to go down the mountain than to go up, and after a while we went down the golden steps covered with fallen leaves, and returned to the edge of the forest behind the beach where we landed along the root of the mountain,

I looked at the river, the beach had long since returned to calm, if it had not been for the sight of the wreckage of our boat and the two round craters blown up by the bombs, as if the killing had never happened, and then I looked further away, and the end of the dark river from which we came was a boundless darkness, and the lava glowing red at the top of the tall river seemed to be a giant carrying a big red lantern coming from the darkness,

After sighing, I felt that something was missing on the surface of the river, and when I thought about the giant ship we were on, the cold sweat on my head instantly broke out, and I shouted: "It's over, our boat is gone." ”
