Chapter 468: Excerpt 2: Inheritance of the Inheritance
......
I personally like to collect and study the prehistoric myths and legends of various civilizations. It's not that I want to discover anything from them, but from these myths and legends, there is always something very interesting.
As we all know, in the cognition of the world, there are the so-called four ancient civilizations: ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon, ancient India, and ancient China.
But if I want to classify and summarize, I can only call these four ancient civilizations young civilizations, or the initial stage of modern civilization.
You must know that civilization is continuous and inherited, and it cannot come out of thin air and disappear abruptly. So let's look back and see, in the thousands of years of blank time when Atlantis suddenly disappeared, were there any civilizations that inherited it?
The answer is yes. As far as I know, there are at least three civilizations that not only inherited the Atlantean civilization, but also carried forward a small number of practical things and quietly brought them to the world.
These three civilizations are: the civilization of the Mediterranean Circle, the civilization of Central and South America, and the civilization of the islands of the South Pacific!
Interesting, isn't it?
Is it a coincidence that these three civilizations appeared one after another just after Atlantis disappeared?
......
According to my years of research and speculation, the so-called Daxizhou suddenly emerged from the seabed, and the molding time was too short, and there should be nothing else except seabed silt and minerals, especially the vegetation coverage, which can only be regarded as a rough form, so the Daxizhou at that time did not have time to form an effective and recyclable ecosystem.
Therefore, at the beginning of the empire, it was quite miserable, and people could only live on seafood. However, the country's leaders were ahead of their time, and in just a few hundred years, they were able to teach their subjects many practical skills, especially shipbuilding and navigation.
The empire encouraged people to explore the seas and discover the New World, and trade was born. By my estimate, Atlantis' foreign relations radiated to all the coastlines around the Atlantic. It is said that the areas that were not called Egypt at that time were once imperial colonies.
The Atlantean Empire was in dire need of raw materials from outside the world to build a huge empire, such as precious metals, plant seedlings, seeds of crops and plants, animals and insects, and even stones.
Everyone is wrong, Atlantis is not alone, not as they describe, a closed kingdom that hangs alone in the sea, full of mystery from the inside out. On the contrary, it has a close connection with this world, and the future generations have quietly changed because of its appearance.
Straight to the point. Since the Atlantean Empire suddenly sank into the sea, if the ancient humans living in the entire Great Western Continent did not have time to escape, they would definitely not survive, and they all slid to the bottom of the sea with the empire. But don't forget, empires are connected to the outside world. I don't know exactly how many colonies it has on other continents, but there are certainly a few merchants sent by the empire to the Americans, Europe, and Africa.
When one day, these subjects of the empire returned home one after another, and suddenly found that their former land and homeland were gone, and only the endless sea was left, and in addition to crying bitterly, I think their first thought should be how to survive.
So, after trying to find the mystery of the empire's disappearance without success, these people had no choice but to return the same way and seek a place to survive elsewhere.
I mean, although Atlantis was a pre-developed civilization, although it perished and disappeared, the Atlanteans did not go extinct, they spread along the coastline around the Atlantic, took root, and then flourished.
Who can guarantee that the blood of the ancestors of the lost country does not flow in the veins of today's human beings on the earth?
......
The topic returns to the "inheritance" inheritance. There is a very interesting thing, if you look closely, you will find that the three civilizations inherited all the "legacy" of Atlantis.
Many civilizations in the Mediterranean inherited the empire's technology, culture, industry, craftsmanship, and commerce.
Many of the more extreme civilizations in Central and South America almost copied the mad sacrificial patterns of the empire and carried them forward to a staggering degree, in addition to inheriting the empire's agriculture, animal husbandry and metallurgy.
As the sea and earthquakes devastated Atlantis, the ancient American civilization no longer regarded the sea and the earth as good gods, but turned to fearful worship, and joined everything that made people feel dangerous, and achieved long-lost peace of mind through extremely bloody sacrificial prayers.
Only the sun was consistent and gentle with people, so many of the empires born of these civilizations abandoned the sea worship of Atlantis and regarded the sun as the only true god.
Although the ancient American civilizations changed their beliefs in a mess, I privately believe that only the Mayan civilization inherited the most precious thing in Atlantis: the calendar and its unique algorithm for everything in this world.
Let's take the simplest example. Through this set of calculations, the ancient Mayans calculated that the planet had many civilizational peaks, and allegorized the catastrophe that led to the extinction of those civilizations.
Subsequently, the high priests of many Mayan regimes used graphic symbols and fables to warn future generations that the catastrophe would continue, and that the end of the world was not a one-time end, but a reincarnation of the civilization system.
The civilization of the islands of the South Pacific inherited the spirit of Atlantis: happiness and peace, worship of nature, freedom from the world, and freedom.
However, I think it is not that simple, they should have been part of the ancient American civilization, because of the dissatisfaction with the high-level misinterpretation of the once noble spiritual beliefs, so they separated from the American civilization system, fled to the island far from the mainland, and lived the life they longed for for a long time.
Let's call them ancient Bohemians. In addition to inheriting the spirit of the ancestors who put happiness first, this group also inherited the imperial shipbuilding, navigation, carving, construction and other technologies.
But as far as I know, what the ancient Bohemians, or the shadowy civilization of the South Pacific islands, really brought out of Atlantis is something that future generations would never dare to think of, and it is also the essence of the lost country that has been sustained for hundreds of thousands of years: energy and biotechnology!
Remember the lighthouse in the center of the Empire's capital? It's actually some kind of advanced energy technology.
Unfortunately, the ancient Bohemians did not have the eternal glowing crystal, and although they set up a complex energy transmission system from memory, they never solved the problem of energy source, and ultimately failed.
However, the ancient Bohemians made progress in the field of biology. With the gifts of their ancestors and their own wisdom, their average lifespan has increased to hundreds of years. After a long period of calm and meditation, their minds have been mutated, and they are able to communicate with nature, animals and plants.
They don't need tools to hunt, they just need to move their minds to get schools of fish into their pockets. You can also domesticate giant sea beasts as mounts and take them to the endless sea.
Four thousand years ago, the group suddenly disappeared, and no one knows where they went, and rumor has it that they went to the deep sea to find their true ancestors: the Atlanteans.
Today, the islands are inhospitable and barren, and only modern Bohemians struggle to survive there. They came from Asia, and what they had worked so hard to find was just an ordinary island, and the glory of the past had been reduced to dust.
The only proof of this is the stone statues that stand on Easter Island!
