Chapter 30: The Fall of the Atlantean Civilization

Summary of the Bible about the Great Flood: "The flood flooded the earth for 40 days and nights, and the waters rose up, and lifted the ark off the earth"; The water was so great on the earth that the mountains were flooded";" Five months later, the ark came to rest on Mount Lara, and after another four months, Noah left the ark and the earth was completely dry.

"Shangshu Yaodian" recorded: "The soup soup flood is cut, swinging the mountains and Xiangling, and the sky is mighty. “

The "Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Classic of the Sea" records: "The flood is monstrous. "The Emperor's Breath is used to annihilate the flood. “

The myth about this flood is the most widespread in the world, and there are different versions. The earliest Babylonian document, Gilgamesh, records the history of the Great Flood, the Hebrew masterpiece Genesis of the Old Testament begins with Noah's Ark, and Greek mythology also has a legend of Ducalion's Ark. The Indians and Amerindians traced the history of mankind from the beginning of the Great Flood. Of the more than 130 Indian races in North, Central, and South America, there is not a single race that does not have a myth on the theme of the Great Flood. In fact, the Flood was not limited to the Indians of the Americas, but was recorded by almost all the peoples living on all continents of the world. Myths often have their basis in reality, indicating that the Northern Hemisphere was probably really surrounded by floods of unknown origin, with nearly a thousand meters of flood peaks, roaring and rushing towards the land, engulfing the plains and valleys, and swallowing all life in these places. The mountains tremble in the waves, and the land is in great change**......

Over the years, mankind has made unremitting efforts to find Noah's Ark. In 1883, an earthquake cracked a section of the Ararat Mountains, revealing part of the hull of a large wooden ship. The ship, which was seen by the Earthquake Survey and Assessment Organization at the time, was estimated to be 12 to 15 meters high, but its length could not be estimated because most of it was embedded in the glacier. In 1916, when Russian pilot Roskevsky flew over Mount Ararat, he spotted a huge wooden boat on the top of the mountain. In 1949, when a Turkish pilot took a photograph of what was said to be an ark from an airplane and estimated its length to be years, the French explorer Nabara found a piece of wood on the top of Mount Ararat, which was identified as a biblical Gopher wood and an antiquity from the previous year. The wood was later exhibited in Germany, France, Egypt and Spain. On August 30, 2002, photographs taken by the highest-resolution commercial satellite known as Kuainiao confirmed the existence of a huge ship-shaped object on the summit of Mount Ararat in present-day Turkey, the site of Noah's Ark as recorded in the Bible.

The flood caused by the tsunami caused by the North American ice cap not only destroyed the dynasty founded by the Suiren clan, but also submerged the last remaining islands of the Atlantean continent, directly destroying the Atlantean civilization. So far, only the Indian subcontinent still has a few sparks of Atlantean civilization.

As previously introduced: when the Quaternary Ice Age began, the polar glaciers extended to the equator, and the glaciers in the high mountains of the continent also extended to the lowlands. The ice that expands on all continents is formed by the condensation of moisture in the air, so the moisture in the air is extremely scarce. A large amount of water in the ocean evaporates into the air, and the air circulates to the continent to freeze into glaciers. Therefore, the climate during the ice age was mainly dry and cold. On the continent, a large amount of water is frozen into ice and pressed on the continent, so the downward pressure on the continental plate is huge, and the subsidence effect occurs, and the sea level is also lowered across the board.

The situation in Atlantis is even more serious, because Atlantis has a short land formation time, most of the mountains, and the east and west sides are deep ocean trenches, so there are many upper layers of ice, causing the entire land of Atlantis (which is actually a huge island) to sink, and the bottom to the sides of the trench collapse. The effect is not significant during the glacial period because sea levels fall more rapidly. At this time, people are still living and working, but they need to prepare warm clothing.

But by the end of the Quaternary Ice Age, the situation was completely different. Due to the warming climate, a large number of glaciers around the world began to melt, and they continued to flow from the inland to the sea, and at the same time, they also carried a large amount of minerals and other nutrients from the earth to the sea, resulting in desertification of inland soils. The ripple effect is a chain reaction as the sea continues to increase, submerging islands and lowlands, and polar glaciers are melting.

Atlantis, which had already greatly reduced its altitude, is now experiencing earthquakes and volcanoes due to rising sea levels and the lack of a solid foundation for the new continent. In addition, Atlantis is very close to the North American ice sheet, so tsunamis and earthquakes are even more intense. As a result, the few remaining islands of Atlantis were completely submerged in the tsunami.

At present, only the S-shaped ridge under the Atlantic Ocean can be observed on satellites, one or two kilometers above the sea surface, and the only thing that can be observed on the surface of the water is the tip of a few ridges such as the Azores. So far, only the Indian subcontinent has preserved the Harappan civilization.

The advent of the Great Flood also represents the beginning of the Holocene (~), the most recent subglacial period of the Quaternary glacial age, to the modern interglacial period, also known as the late glacial period. This period of time is roughly equivalent to the entry of mankind into a written historical era. We are still in the late glacial period, and we cannot rule out the possibility of the next interglacial period. During this period, the appearance of mammals was basically the same as that of modern times.

Modern mammals are vertebrates with full body hair, fast movement, constant temperature viviparity, and diaphragm in the body, and are the most complex body structure and functional behavior of the highest animal group in vertebrates.

Mammals have a good ability to adapt to the environment, have a constant body temperature, have mammary glands, can breastfeed their young, have a developed brain, can dominate actions, viviparity (except for monopores), is conducive to the continuation of offspring and so on.

After entering the Cenozoic era, placentas became the mainstream of the mammalian family. There are about 30 orders of placental mammals, including carnivores (such as cats), rodents (such as various rodents), artiodactyls (such as pigs, cattle, sheep, etc.), odd hoofs (such as horses, donkeys, etc.), primates (such as monkeys and apes, etc.), pterodactyla (such as bats, etc.), proboscis (such as elephants, etc.) and cetaceans (such as dolphins, etc.).

Mammals are divided into protozoan subclasses, euzozon subclasses, and posterior zonal subclasses. Mammals are found all over the world and live a variety of lifestyles on land, underground, in the water and in the air, and there are three types of nutrition: herbivorous, carnivorous and omnivorous. With the exception of Antarctica, the Arctic center and individual islands, it is almost all over the world, and there are 4,237 extant genera.

The protozoan subclass includes extinct Mesozoic mammals and the present monoforare. Echidnas and platypus are found in the order Monoforare, which are found in Australia, Tasmania and New Guinea.

The subclass euzoma includes a variety of placental classes and is widely distributed throughout the world.

The post-zonal subclass marsupials, now distributed in Oceania and the Americas, are very diverse, usually divided into American marsupials and Australian marsupials, which in turn are divided into quolls, bandicoots and double incisors.
