Chapter 17: The Fall of the Three-Eyed Civilization

Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Probably another colony of the Three-Eyed Tribe, which has a larger population, more advanced technology, and more abilities, which may also explain the development of Hinduism and Buddhism in ancient Indian history, which both promoted meditation. ā€

"Are there any fossils in the process of the evolution of the white man into the Three-Eyed Clan?"

"It's called the Lost Age because fossils are rarely found, if not all. Still, archaeologists have found some clues. ā€

A Kenyan flat-faced man who lived in Kenya about 10,000 years ago. This is the only ape-man fossil found during this lost time.

Kenyan flat-faced people have some characteristics similar to Australopithecus, but have a flat face that closely resembles the face shape of modern white people. Its characteristics are so special that it is difficult to classify them into any of the existing genera in paleoanthropology, such as Australopithecus, Homo sapiens, Homo sapiens, etc.

Kenyan flat-faced people are supposed to be the Stone Age ancestors of the Three-Eyed people or even modern white people. ā€

"Three-eyed, that sounds like science fiction!" I muttered, "and special abilities!"

The sages said: "There are many things that have not been confirmed by science, and special functions are only one aspect of it. This shows that science has not yet developed so much that it is relegated to the category of occultism. ā€

The Three-Eyed Continent was finally destroyed in a new round of orogeny.

Historically, Eurasia has diverged with Africa and North America several times due to rising and falling sea levels, resulting in multiple animal movements. At the end of the Pliocene, the world entered a period of large-scale orogeny. North and South America were also connected at the end of the Pliocene. The result is a superplate of the Americas. Modern mountain systems such as the Alps, the Himalayas, the Rocky Mountains and the Andes were formed one after another, and this was the last large-scale orogeny caused by the expansion of the earth and the release of pressure. Since then, the climate has become more and more distinct, and the natural environment on the earth has become more diverse.

The main reason for this orogeny was the violent collision of the Indian Ocean and Australian plates with the oldest Eurasian plates. The Eurasian plate is deeply rooted, and the Indian plate has not been able to help it, but has been pressed to the bottom of the Eurasian plate, causing the entire Indian Ocean and Australian plate to subside. As a result of the impact, the plate edge at the junction was uplifted from the Himalayan region of the Mediterranean Sea to a mountain range, the northern edge of the plate was uplifted from the ocean to the land to become the current Indian subcontinent, and the original Indian paleocontinent was submerged by seawater to become the Indian Ocean.

Pressure was also released on the border between present-day Africa and South America on the Three-Eyed continent, and a north-south longitudinal orogeny was formed, with mountains rising up from the massive volcanoes and earthquakes that tore apart the earth, and rift valleys on both sides of the mountains. A huge scar appeared on the surface of the earth, and the expansion kinetic energy of the earth, which had been bound for millions of years, was released most violently.

"It's so sad! Even if you meditate, you can't help but be able to resist the great power of nature. Once again, there has been a catastrophe of extinction on Earth. But this time it's humanity that suffers. I sighed. "What happened to the Three-Eyed Clan, are they all extinct?"

After the division of the Three-Eyed Continent, the time entered the Pleistocene of the Quaternary (about a year ago)

After the division of the Three-Eyed continent, it was divided into three parts: South America (connected to North America, including Antarctica, which had previously drifted to South America), Africa (connected to Eurasia) in the east, and an S-shaped continent formed by orogeny, stretching for thousands of kilometers from north to south, roughly shaped like the Atlantic Ridge surveyed by satellites today. Because of the expansion of the earth, the two continents that split after the orogeny began to move in opposite directions like rootless drifters.

After this orogeny, the world officially formed eight continents and one Indian subcontinent. Among them, the three continents of North America, South America and Antarctica are on one line, Asia, Europe and Africa are together, and the Indian subcontinent is connected to Eurasia. There is also the newest and youngest nascent mid-Atlantic continent, Atlantis, which some also call the Great Western Continent.

Since this orogeny, the earth will not form such large-scale plate movements even if it expands again, because most of the surface expansion pressure can be released through earthquakes and volcanic eruptions on the ocean floor. So the earth is still expanding today, but people's sense is very little compared to ancient times.

During the Pleistocene, the Antarctic Peninsula separated from South America to form the Drake Passage, which formed today's land-sea pattern.

The Quaternary is the most recent phase in Earth's history, including the Pleistocene and Holocene, which was marked by the end of the Earth's last glacial age and a warming climate.

The Quaternary period occurred during the Quaternary glaciation, which began at the beginning of the Pleistocene (about 2.59 million years ago) to the present.

At the end of the Tertiary period, the climate turned colder, and at the beginning of the Quaternary period, the cold climate zone migrated to the middle and low latitudes, so that ice sheets or glaciers were widely developed in high latitudes and mountains. It's huge. The southern edge of the European ice sheet could reach around 50 degrees north latitude, the North American ice sheet front extended south of 40 degrees north latitude, and the Antarctic ice sheet was much larger than it is today. Mountain glaciers and foothill glaciers, including those near the equator, once extended down to lower levels.

This glacial period can be divided into four subglacial periods, three interglacial periods and one postglacial period. During the largest glacial period, 32% of the world's continents were covered by glaciers, and a large amount of ice stagnated on the continents, causing the sea level to drop by about 130 meters. It was during the climatic changes of the Quaternary glacial and interglacial periods that primitive humans developed into modern humans.

The climate during the Quaternary Ice Age also varied greatly, with several subglacial and interglacial periods, ranging from a few thousand years to tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years.

At the beginning of the 20th century, geologists determined the pattern of four subglacial periods in the Alps, based on data from the Alps. These are: the subglacial period of the Quochi, the subglacial of Minde, the subglaciation of Lysia, and the subglaciation of Mumu, and between these subglacial periods were interglacial. Later, corresponding subglacial periods were also found in Northern Europe, North America, Asia and other places. The corresponding subglacial periods in China are: Duyang subglacial period, Dagu subglacial period, Lushan subglacial period and Dali subglacial period.

In the cold period, the height of the snow line decreases, the glaciers advance, and subglacial periods appear, among which the glaciers in the subglacial period of Minde (Dagu in China) and the subglacial period of Rees (Lushan) are the largest, and the scale of the subglacial period of Qunzhi is the smallest. During warm periods, temperatures rise, snow line heights rise, glaciers retreat, and subglacial periods occur. The inter-sub-glacial period of Minde-Lisi (Dagu-Lushan) lasted for 10,000 years. During the Quaternary Ice Age, a sharp drop in temperature at high latitudes led to the formation of permanent ice sheets at the poles, and during the subglacial period, glaciers extended to the mid-latitudes and retreated to high latitudes during the interglacial period.
