The truth about Atlantis, Atlantean civilization and the Great Flood
On Atlantis, Atlantean civilization and the universal flood there are a very long series of tests that always lead to a single truth.
The global upheavals of 11,600 years ago
About 11,600 years ago a large asteroid fell to Earth, generating a cataclysm that shook the entire planet, and with violent earthquakes, terrible volcanic eruptions, pouring rains, immense floods and rising seas.
The event has been scientifically documented by numerous authors.
Part of the megafauna that existed around 11,600 years ago suddenly disappears from the globe. Plants and animals such as mammoths, sabre-toothed tigers, giant deer, suddenly disappear from one day to the next. And the countless animals whose carcasses were overwhelmed by huge floods, carried for long distances, piled up in river gorges and in the valley bottoms, buried by a blanket of mud together with trees and plants always date back to the catastrophe of 11,600 years ago.
Many erratic boulders are also transported by huge floods.
Many scientists have discovered large areas, now buried under the ocean, which up to 11,600 years ago formed real subcontinents, such as the case of the subcontinent between Siberia and Alaska, which was teeming with wild life, and the subcontinent of Beringia between North America and Asia, also populated by abundant fauna that was exterminated by a catastrophic event.
One of the consequences of the cataclysm of about 11,600 years ago also seems to be the end of the ice age, at least as we understand it.
The large asteroid hit the Earth in a marine area, also causing the famous gigantic floods that are remembered by traditions around the world as the "Flood" or "Universal Flood" (and the expression Universal Flood is quite accurate).
A previous case was the asteroid that 65 million years ago, falling into the Gulf of Mexico, caused the extinction of the dinosaurs.
However it is possible to say that the asteroid that hit the Earth 11,600 years ago was not a single block but was made up of several blocks. In fact, there are clear traces of a celestial body that shattered during its fall to earth after colliding with another asteroid. Fragments of this asteroid also hit the mainland, so much so that the craters of these impacts were discovered by aerial surveys in the South Carolina area in 1930, in which an infinite number of elliptical craters exist in the area. These impact craters would date back to about 11,600 years ago. The largest fragment of this asteroid must have fallen somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean northeast of the Sargasso Sea, and caused a series of upheavals that devastated the planet.
Traces of catastrophic megawaves originating from the oceans could be detected as crests in concentric rings near and around the polar regions.
What now remains eroded is identified as crests of moray arches developed parallel to the ends of previous levels of retreating glaciers. Thus the direction of the moraine arches can reveal a certain point of origin for these enormous movements. All starting points of moray shifts of 11,600 years ago do not lie on mountains but in the Arctic sea and in the depths of the central arctic region.
So it is possible to say that the asteroid or the largest part of it that hit the Earth 11,600 years ago fell into the arctic sea.
Another vestige of the mega-waves produced by the asteroid impact are the late Pleistocene lakes that no longer exist. Due to planetary mega-waves these lakes arose almost instantly in the basin of the Black Sea, Caspian Sea, Aral Sea. The lakes Yenesei and Masijskoe were formed; large lakes appeared in Dzungaria and also in Mongolia.
Beaches around the world keep traces of that catastrophic moment when the ocean water level suddenly became considerably higher than it is today. As they receded, the waters left embankments along the shores of all oceans, lakes and rivers.
Other evident and clear traces of catastrophic mega-waves from these centers are represented by parallel crests extending in Eurasia in an area not less than 10 million square km for a length of 5000 to 7000 km and a width of over 1000 km.
The impact with the Earth 11,600 years ago, in addition to the effects mentioned here, also caused enormous fractures in the earth's crust. One such fracture is still visible today in the African Rift Valley: a fissure extending over 4800 km from Syria to Mozambique, the width of which varies from a few kilometers to more than 160 km.
The disappearance of Atlantis and Atlantean civilizations
Even the advanced human civilizations existing at that time were practically wiped out by the cataclysms that occurred about 11,600 years ago.
Powerful earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, climatic upheavals, floods of water from the sky and above all incredible floods swept away entire civilizations.
Immense gigantic waves traveled all over the globe and crashed on the coasts and penetrated all the way inland, knocking down, destroying and covering everything in their path. These waves did not rise in crests, as normal waves do, but moved smoothly as one gigantic wall of water, with even higher water behind them.
This earthly catastrophe is still remembered today by many populations from as many as 70 legends handed down from generation to generation. They also recall the disappearance of a land inhabited by advanced civilizations: it is Atlantis and the other civilizations existing at that time, such as Lemuria and Mu. These three civilizations thrived on large islands and peninsulas (and not on continents as is believed) which were submerged and of which only the highest areas remain visible today.
Plato also speaks of these civilizations and places the disappearance of Atlantis precisely 11,600 years ago. Plato knew the story of Atlantis from the accounts of Solon, who in turn had heard it from some Egyptian priests. The Egyptians believed that the south, not the north, was on top of the world and to them this made sense since that was the direction from which the Nile flowed. This has led Plato to misinterpret the location of Atlantis, which must have been much more southwest of where he places it.
Ancient peoples from all over the world recalled in their traditions the splendid civilizations existing at the time of Atlantis, and not only referring to Atlantis, Lemuria and Mu.
This is the case of the Cveta-Dvipa of the Hindus, of the Ayriam-Vaejo of the Iranians, of the Sham-bhala of the Tibetans, of the land of Mount Hu-Ling of the Chinese, of the Asgard of the Scandinavians, of the Tulla of the Toltecs, of the Thule of the Greeks, of the Fortunate Islands archipelago of European medieval sagas.
Some legends recall in detail, even if under different names, the cataclysm that shook the planet and the civilizations of the time 11,600 years ago, in the form of deluges and other cataclysms.
This is the case of the biblical Noah and the universal flood, whose story is remembered by peoples from all parts of the globe, from the Mesopotamian peoples to the Native Americans.
Popular american mythology gives us the story in which people are already in America when the Flood begins and another story in which the population takes refuge in the mountains.
Both stories narrate the arrival in America with boats of survivors of a land that had been submerged, who with their boats land on the tops of the mountains. Many other legends of the American continent all look alike.
Furthermore, it has been scientifically established that the biblical flood account and many other parts of the Bible derive directly from a widespread ancient Babylonian account, the famous Epic of Gilgamesh, but they have been skilfully read in a monotheistic key.
In Mesopotamian myths the actors are the gods as a whole, while in the biblical stories only Jewish characters such as the king of Israel intervene.
The Epic of Gigamesh was initially born in the ancient civilization of Sumer and is the oldest known poem. It contains many events that are present in the Bible, evidently partly copied from famous ancient epic poems. In fact we find in the Epic of Gilgamesh not only the biblical story of the universal flood but also the story, like the biblical story of Eden, of man's punishment for not having feared the gods or even an evident parallelism with the story of the serpent of the Garden of Eden (among other things, the biblical Eden is the less than cartographic representation of the whole known world at the time of the biblical author).
But the Epic of Gigamesh in turn derives from a much older tale, namely the Epic of Atramkhasis, in which, among other things, the same episode of the universal flood is narrated. In essence, the Biblical Flood narrative, albeit with various adaptations, descends from one narrative to another up to the original one of the survivors of the Great Flood 11,600 years ago.
In addition to the floods there was a veritable deluge of incessant rain that descended from the sky, due to an atmospheric combination created mainly due to the material released into the atmosphere by the numerous volcanic eruptions caused by the impact of the asteroid with the Earth.
It is still the case with the legend of an angel who hurls a huge boulder from the sky, which records the fall of the asteroid on Earth, and it is not surprising that in the same legend there is talk of a new heaven and a new Earth.
From the legends handed down we read that in a remote era suddenly there were deluges of water that descended from the sky, floods that swept away entire cities, frightening earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, the sinking of some lands and the raising of others. This is the exact story of what people had to experience 11,600 years ago when the asteroid hit the Earth with all its consequences.
The myths of the Scandinavian peoples, of the Near East, of North America, remember what happened and above all the great flood. After it there was mud everywhere, the lush and abundant vegetation of the Golden Age was no more, and most of the land had become barren. Whole forests had been razed to the ground and not even the mud was fertile. When the water on the land dried up, the survivors noticed the white blanket of salt that had been carried by the water. What some peoples called the Golden Age had literally been wiped out.
Among other things, many scholars who have analyzed the myths of ancient populations trace the beginning of the post-diluvian era and the end of the Golden Age, in the era of the lion, lord of the sky, corresponding to the period between 10,960 BC and 8,800 BC, the period in which the cataclysm of 11,600 years ago falls.
And it is obvious that the number of human beings also dropped drastically, as did the fauna they fed on. The scarcity of fauna led precisely to the development of agriculture, which precisely developed on a large scale in that period, given that hunting could no longer yield much. The presence, for a long time, of water in the plains and the impoverishment of the same due to the mud on the lands affected by the flood, forced men to develop agriculture in the mountainous areas, something absolutely meaningless if one does not take into account the catastrophe that hit the Earth 11,600 years ago.
The survivors of the disappeared civilizations managed to reach other lands and started a new existence from scratch, in small and isolated communities, using however the experiences deriving from their great disappeared civilizations. That's why agriculture appears simultaneously in many parts of the planet about 11,600 years ago and starting right from elevated areas, that's why many buildings and countless artifacts presented similarities of styles and working methods, that's why monuments and traditions of many sites of the globe presented similarities between them, that's why there are monuments scattered around the world whose construction defies a rational explanation, that's why archaic American alphabets have enormous similarities with archaic Mediterranean ones.
Furthermore, the survivors of the Atlantean civilizations settled on the continents closest to the area where their civilization had disappeared. In fact, some ancient cities, such as Jericho, have ruins dating back to the 9th millennium BC, i.e. to the period following the destruction of the Atlantean civilizations. The Mesopotamian area itself has many ancient settlements and ancient civilizations of the place, such as the Sumerian and Babylonian ones, which preserved intact the memory of the catastrophe that struck the planet 11,600 years ago, as indeed the Mayas and the Aztecs did in America.
The Mayans and the Aztecs said that their populations originated from a large land located in the Caribbean area which was submerged by water following a cataclysm, just like Atlantis. The Maya claimed that both blacks and whites lived on that land (called Aztlan), and therefore the people with Negroid features who founded the mysterious Olmec civilization also originated from that sunken land. Since there were also other Atlantean civilizations, then also other very ancient peoples probably originated from lands that have been submerged, as the Vikings, the Basques, the Indians and so on stated.
Obviously the descendants of the Atlantean civilizations retained a lot of information about the vanished civilizations. Much information was transcribed in ancient documents that is now lost. In fact, many documents that contained information on the Atlantean civilizations were kept in the ancient library of Alexandria and were destroyed by a fire.
Furthermore, it is very likely that the Atlantean civilizations had developed some technologies that were far superior to those of the civilizations that arose in the millennia following the demise of the Atlantean civilizations. This would explain the impromptu presence of optical instruments of all kinds and electrical instruments in ancient civilizations such as the Egyptian and Babylonian ones. It is no coincidence that the ancient finds of optical and electrical instruments are defined as objects out of time.
However, even astronomical and medical sciences had reached a good level of development in the Atlantean civilizations, as demonstrated by the astronomical knowledge in the cultures following the disappearance of these civilizations. Archaeological finds show that already more than 12,000 years ago the doctors of the time could successfully carry out amputations.
The religion most followed by the Atlantean civilizations was the "Cult of the Mother Goddess", and the survivors of these civilizations continued to follow this cult for millennia.
According to the Bible and many mythological texts (including Greek and Nordic ones), the Giants existed at the time of Atlantis, that is, a lineage of human beings much larger than ordinary human beings, which became extinct following the cataclysm that occurred 11,600 years ago. In fact, the Bible says that the Great Flood erased from the Earth the stock of human beings called "Giants". There is much archaeological evidence that gigantic human beings existed in ancient times, as evidenced by the gigantic hand and foot prints imprinted in deep layers of soil, as well as the gigantic human bones found in excavations around the world.
Atlantean monuments
Of the civilizations existing at the time of Atlantis remain monuments and mysterious artifacts, which today are found in apparently absurd places, such as on the seabed or under it, buried by marine sediments.
Furthermore, one must not believe that these are always modest remains, because the forgotten civilizations have had a fairly high development, as evidenced by the remains of these disappeared Atlantean civilizations found so far. Even the significant rise in sea level following the melting of the ice in the former polar areas causes the remains of the Atlantean civilizations to reside mainly below sea level, i.e. areas which at the time were very common plains or coastal areas (zones with the highest probability of human settlement due to soil fertility and fishing).
It is no coincidence that today's continents are bordered by a continental shelf which is practically at the same submarine depth on the whole globe (about 200 m at most). An analysis shows that this platform, if not all at least in part (at least 80-100 m), must have been dry in remote times (about 11,600 years ago and more). Physically, the continental shelf has a constant slope up to about 200 m below sea level, then descends almost abruptly to 1000 m and gradually again more gently up to the greater depths of the oceans.
Geologically, the platform is formed by deposits including fluvial, alluvial and morainic sediments, clearly not due to the action of the sea. In many cases it is possible to observe the continuation of the river valleys on the seabed (for example the Seine in the English Channel) and the presence of underwater peat bogs (North Sea) can even be found. Peat is a fossil fuel full of water and formed in the Quaternary era (from 2 million years ago to today) from the cover with alluvial debris of lake vegetation that grew to the limit in marshy areas, but certainly not submerged by tens of meters of salt water. Added to this are even the remains of animals that had absolutely no relation to water.
It is therefore not surprising if remains of Atlantean civilizations have also been found on the oceanic continental shelf, dating back to times prior to about 11,600 years ago, when the level of the oceans was at least 80-100 meters lower and therefore civilizations thrived in places that have now become seabed. However, a cataclysm that occurred 11,600 years ago could have caused the Atlantean civilization structures to sink to a depth greater than 100 m below sea level. It should be noted that due to the lower sea level of at least 80-100 meters the geography of the coastal areas of the whole planet was radically different and the same can be said for the islands which appeared in an extremely different and much more extensive way, giving thus large spaces for the development of civilizations on the current seabed.
However, it cannot be excluded that some of the Atlantean civilizations also thrived in areas that were then green and luxuriant and which today are the heart of huge deserts.
There are five best-known cases of Atlantean civilization remains.
The first concerns the large structures cut into blocks, in the sea near Japan.
There are six places where structures are found in the Okinawa area, of which one is located in Tawain: all are under the sea and the underwater structures date back at least 11600 years.
At one of the points, near the coast of Japan, there is a gigantic submerged pyramid structure called the pyramid of "Yonaguni", practically in excellent condition. In particular, this incredible monument is formed by a series of steps on which a platform is superimposed and in which it is possible to identify various grooves and channels that cross the structure. The upper rectangular platform is formed by hand-cut stones with triangular and rhomboidal motifs; below is an intricate system of steps and terraces which appear to lead to upper and lower levels. In the eastern part of the platform is a 75 cm wide channel which runs eight meters into the structure. Then there are, in the center, four terraces carved into the rock that point in different directions and one of these ends in an open moat that descends to the seabed, with an east-west orientation. The series of steps of the pyramid are placed at regular distances, as are other elements of the same. The western side of the structure is enclosed by a wall formed by large blocks of limestone which is not native to the area. Around the pyramid there is a path more than 10 meters wide which goes all the way around the base of the monument; this path is paved with stones and also has traces of repairs. Some stones of the pyramid have holes in straight lines at fixed distances for cutting the blocks.
Work tools and tablets with indecipherable engravings, a clearly engraved relief in the shape of a turtle and evidence of the use of fire were found in the area of the pyramid.
Two kilometers west of the pyramid is the “Palace” area, where there are underwater corridors and spacious chambers with megalithic walls and ceilings, lintels, ducts and tunnels, slabs and grooves with sharply cut margins, massive rectilinear structures, a particular boulder carved into a parallelepiped known as the "stone stage" and a gigantic pinnacle with two parallel grooves clearly similar to a human face. At a certain distance from these finds there are the remains of other structures, of the immense parallel vertical blocks and of the sites where there are stones placed in a circle.
The complex of submerged finds extends over a very vast underwater area, and many of these finds are found off the coast of the China Sea in the strait that goes from Japan to Taiwan, and therefore that goes from the pyramid described above to the submerged walls discovered offshore of Taiwan. It is an area that before 11,600 years ago was certainly land. In short, they are the remains of a civilization different from Atlantis but its contemporary and which suffered the same fate as it. In particular, it could be the legendary Mu or the legendary Lemuria.
The second case concerns a large semi-buried paved structure hundreds of meters long that is submerged off the island of North Bimini (Bahamas), near Florida, in the Gulf of Mexico.
It is an alignment of rectangular-shaped stones that extends in a straight line for hundreds of meters at a shallow depth and resembles a large paved road, or the top of a submerged wall (not to be confused with some natural rocks in the area that have nothing to do with with these).
At the end of this submerged road begins another road formed by smaller boulders, which form a road that curves at right angles towards the coast, and at the end of this other submerged road there are the remains of regular shaped structures.
Continuing towards the coast there is another submerged road formed by regularly spaced sets of stones, which extends in a straight line for over 2.4 km, diagonally cutting ancient coastlines.
Another structure identified near the Bahamas is a large rectangular underwater structure (a building or a temple), which is located near the island of Andros, in the Bahamas.
Still in the area of the Bahamas, blocks of rock of variable shapes have been discovered, some truncated cones, others cylindrical, and some of the cylindrical ones have regular vertical grooves, as if they were fragments of columns (not to be confused with old drums full of cement found in a nearby area). Other structures have been sighted all over the archipelago of the Bahamas, and also elsewhere in the Caribbean. Many of these structures are regular shaped drawings on the sea bed and the structure of these drawings is made up of marine vegetation and sand, as if to signal the presence of artificial structures buried by sand and sediments.
At the time of the archaeological finds found at the bottom of the sea, it is possible to affirm that Bimini, like the rest of the Bahamas islands and also the large Caribbean islands (Cuba, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico) are what today remains of an Atlantean civilization which developed in the Caribbean area before 11,600 years ago.
In fact, in the depths of the Caribbean, in front of the Cuban peninsula of Guanahacabibes, immense structures have been discovered in an area of 20 square kilometers of the ocean floor, forming an urban grid that stands out on the plain of white sand, with its right-angled walls and connecting roads between buildings.
The structures unfold in a regular and orderly tangle of streets, alleys, crossroads and pyramids. The structures are formed mostly of megalithic blocks of granite, carefully cut and positioned to form pyramids and other symmetrically organized, sometimes circular, vaulted structures. Some man-made structures are composed of smooth blocks, erected one upon the other in different shapes, and are covered by unknown inscriptions. On some of these submerged structures there are imprinted anomalous incisions composed of symbols and groups of letters, symbols and oval crosses, and these same symbols are also present in Cuban caves, both on the surface and in submerged ones. Such symbols look similar to symbols of ancient European civilizations.
It should be noted that the whole Caribbean area was radically different when the water level was much lower than the current one, with many emerged lands that are now part of a seabed located at low depths.
Despite this, the submerged ruins off the coast of Cuba are found at a considerable depth, evidently because they literally sank following geological cataclysms which were also joined by rising waters.
Due to the location and development of this Atlantean Caribbean civilization, it is very likely that it is precisely Atlantis, that is, the disappeared civilization of which Plato tells us and of which the ancient Egyptian priests kept the memory.
Both the Mayans and the Aztecs said that their people originally came from a large land located right in the Caribbean area, which however sank into the sea in ancient times. And Plato himself not only places Atlantis plausibly in the Caribbean area, but he affirms that having been submerged by the waters, today the only visible part are the islands that were once the highest areas of Atlantis, i.e. probably the islands that form today the Caribbean. So Atlantis was not located on a continent but spread over several large islands, of which only the highest parts remain today.
The most interesting thing is that in 2000 and 2001 scientific investigative instruments detected a concentration of spectacular buildings off the west coast of Cuba, at a depth of 600-700 metres, i.e. these buildings must have emerged 50,000 years ago, well beyond the historical period in which Atlantis should be placed. Therefore it is possible to hypothesize a cataclysm very similar to the one described by the legends of Atlantis, which about 11,600 years ago would have caused the city of Atlantis to sink a few hundred meters into the sea. Then the sea level rise following the end of the glaciations further raised the sea level up to 600-700 meters above the submerged buildings. The depth of this site requires huge funding to be investigated and documented more satisfactorily than has been done so far, and furthermore the fact of being in Cuban territory further complicates the matter; as if that weren't enough, it is preferred to finance other types of expeditions in those areas, because there are many ships loaded with treasures lying on the seabed and there is great interest in them.
Not far from this archaeological site, in 1978 a scientific expedition found a pyramid-shaped object 150 meters high and 300 meters wide on the seabed.
Much concrete circumstantial evidence shows that the Catholic Church knew of the existence of the American continent (or part of it) before its discovery, thanks to ancient secret maps which were in turn copied from ancient maps showing a large land beyond the ocean. These are maps whose first draft dates back to the times of Atlantis, and which have been copied several times over the millennia. Fearing that Muslims might discover America and convert it to Islam, the Catholic Church secretly entrusted the task of discovering America to Christopher Columbus, who was given maps showing the lands across the ocean. But the ancient Church maps were of Atlantean derivation and therefore showed lands as they appeared in Atlantean times.
Animals such as European migratory birds and European eels seem to have a genetic memory according to which in the Caribbean area there would be a land that is now submerged, that is the land of Atlantis we are talking about. It has been observed that the flocks of migratory birds that move every year from Europe to South America, when they arrive near the Azores, start flying in concentric circles, as if they were looking for a land where to perch. Since logically they do not find it, they continue their route, but repeat the same maneuvers at the same point on the return journey. Birds have followed those migratory routes for many millions of years and a land that is now submerged must always be there, where birds are still looking for it today.
There is also another similar animal behaviour, namely that of the European eels which leave their normal habitats every two years and, descending the watercourses, reach the sea. Studies show that they all reach the Sargasso Sea, a sea area of the Atlantic located north of the Antilles. Here, they reproduce; after spawning, the female eels die, and the fry begin their return journey to Europe, where two years later they will resume their migratory cycle. Eels also move in flocks, like migratory birds, and these flocks all converge in that sea, around the Bermuda Islands. So it seems that a breed instinct leads the eels back to where their ancestors reproduced and lived, i.e. a coastal area of a land now submerged.
But the evidence of a land that disappeared 11,600 years ago located in that area is truly innumerable and has been continuously found for centuries, such as when at the end of the 19th century the works for laying telegraph cables on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean brought to light samples of magmatic rock which after careful analysis proved to be a rock that could date back to about 15,000 years ago and which had solidified in the open air, i.e. when an unknown land had emerged.
The third case concerns another series of submerged structures scattered across the planet. These are the submerged structures discovered about eighty meters southwest of the Azores. It is a group of submerged urban remains, consisting of a central temple supported by three bases of nine columns, which in turn supports a stone roof measuring six meters by nine. Around the remains of five circular canals, some bridges and four rings of structures similar to the temple. All at a depth slightly greater than that of the Cuban site. Also worth mentioning are the submerged ruins of Dwarka, Gulf of Cambay in India.
The fourth case concerns the "Lady of Mali", a gigantic female sculpture 150 meters high which dominates the inaccessible peak of a mountain in Guinea, which is also 1,500 m high, carved at the time of the Atlantean civilizations.
This sculpture represents an important ancient queen or a deity of an Atlantean civilization.
Related to the civilization that made this sculpture seems to be the "Skystone", an artificial blue stone found in Sierra Leone (West Africa) which is an advanced building material dating back to the times when the Atlantean civilizations flourished. These are archaeological finds located in areas where serious archaeological investigations have never been carried out and which therefore can hide many surprises,
The fifth case concerns the discovery under the waters of the Black Sea of the remains of a building which would appear to have been submerged precisely about 11,600 years ago by the sudden rise of the waters.
At a depth of 90 meters and about 12 km from the Turkish coast, a series of stone artifacts and a rectangular building of 4x15 meters were discovered, with walls built using a mixture of mud and reeds, and large worked tables that perhaps covered the building, perfectly preserved given the particular oxygen-free conditions of this sea.
Also worth mentioning is the Ashoka column found in Deli (India), made of an indestructible and unalterable metal alloy, it was built in ancient times and was reused as a funeral column for a king who died in 413 AD. This column must have been part of a monumental complex of some advanced Atlantean civilization, but was recovered and reused several times by the ancient inhabitants of India.
In reality, these are always imposing stone structures that represented the main buildings. The other buildings were made of materials that have literally disintegrated over time, such as terracotta or wood.
Atlantean objects
There are many objects that date back to the time of the Atlantean civilizations or are copies of objects existing in that remote time. We also recall here some well-known cases.
Take for example the famous Baghdad stack. In 1936, during the construction of a railway near Baghdad, an ancient tomb covered by a stone slab was discovered. Among the numerous objects that were extracted was a chemical battery cell capable of producing electricity. An American engineer, Willard FM Gray, built a working model of this pile in the 1940s.
Also in Iraq, other scientists have discovered 4,000-year-old golden material, material that can't have been plated except by electricity.
At Dendera (lower Egypt) the French archaeologist Auguste Mariette discovered in the crypts of the sanctuary of the Goddess Hathor some bas-reliefs which practically represent modern light bulbs or large lamps. The image shows oblong glass tubes with a filament-shaped snake inside. In the nearby hieroglyphs the snake that crosses the pipes is described as "seref" which means to illuminate and furthermore in the bas-reliefs a kind of box is depicted from which various "cables" depart which reach the aforementioned "pipes". All these things undoubtedly derive from knowledge of Atlantean civilizations, given that the use of electricity was certainly not widespread in known civilizations.
Also worth considering are the famous Ica stones, thousands of perfectly worked stones found in the Ocucaje desert, near Ica (Peru), which bear shocking engravings evidently coming from remote civilizations unknown to us. Among other things, the analyzes show that the engravings date back to 11,600 years ago.
We then move on to the great pyramid of Cheops and the Sphinx. Chope's Pyramid was actually built at least 11,600 years ago, but was rediscovered, explored, restored, and reused by the Egyptians. That's why it doesn't have carved hieroglyphs while even the most insignificant building was full of hieroglyphs, and that's why the pyramid has non-random mathematical elements that testify to the existence of a very advanced civilization other than the Egyptian one.
The numbers 286.1 and 153 are found everywhere in the measurements of the great pyramid and have a very deep scientific meaning, as well as other numbers that often occur in the measurements of the pyramid. In fact it is oriented with absolute precision to the four cardinal points and its perimeter and height measurements are related with remarkable precision to the measurements of the Earth, such that the great pyramid represents the dimensions of the Earth in scale. Also within the pyramid structure is a monumental enigmatic structure called the Zed or Tower of Osiris. It is also possible to date it to 3500 B.C. one of the great restorations undergone by the Pyramid of Cheops, since the radiocarbon analyzes conducted on the mortar used in the great pyramid would date it around 3,500 B.C., in any case 1000 years before the pharaoh Cheops. Herodotus also speaks of mysterious writings placed in antiquity on the lining of the pyramid of Cheops, probably dating back to the time when the pyramid was built (that is, at least 11,600 years ago), so much so that Herodotus says that the ancient Egyptians could not understand what was written.
Arab authors say that the great pyramid was built before the universal flood and the secrets of the sciences and a series of particular objects were placed inside it, including maps, unbreakable and perhaps glass artifacts, machine models and a very hard and unalterable metal.
The same goes for the sphinx, built at least 11,600 years ago and reused by the Egyptians. But the sphinx's original head was that of a lion, while the one visible today was specially remodeled by the Egyptians. In fact, the current head is much more recent than the rest of the body of the sphinx, which originally represented a lion oriented in the exact point on the horizon where, in 10,450 B.C., the constellation of the lion rose. Furthermore, research has shown that the sphinx shows signs of erosion indicating rain erosion over at least 11,000 years.
Furthermore, there are doubts also regarding the other pyramids of the Giza plateau, which could date back to the Atlantean era and have been restored and reused by the Egyptians. As a whole the pyramids on the Giza plain follow the arrangement of the main stars of the constellation of Orion as they appeared in 10,450 B.C.
But that's not all, because researchers have shown that the finge and the pyramids of the Giza plateau are astronomically oriented so as to form a cosmological drawing together with the natural landscape (the Nile) which represents the terrestrial projection of the sky in 10,450 B.C.
In reality, everything leads us to believe that the date of construction of the pyramids of the Giza plain and the sphinx is 10,450 B.C., that is 12,450 years ago, therefore before the global catastrophe which occurred about 11,600 years ago. Evidently they are monuments of an Atlantean civilization that flourished at that time, however disappeared almost without a trace following the global cataclysm.
According to some, it can also be assumed that in Egypt there was a civilization already developed before 11,600 years ago. That's why in those places there are those great monuments left by a civilization that disappeared 11,600 years ago, that's why the ancient Egyptians were aware of all that information about Atlantis, that's why the ancient Egyptians seemed to know advanced elements such as electricity, that's why the ancient Egyptians had maps with territories they could not know.
Again in this sense, Herodotus in his histories, calculating the kings who reigned in Egypt, states that in his time (485-425 B.C.) the Egyptian civilization was already 11,340 years old, and this means that the civilization of Ancient Egypt dates back to 13,500 B.C., i.e. before 11,600 years ago there was a contemporary civilization of Atlantis which had developed in Egypt, evidently annihilated by the Great Flood and resurrected only millennia later.
The reused monuments in Egypt we have talked about are not an isolated case because some parts of ancient cities of Central and South America were built using technologies unknown to the Maya or the Aztecs who then reused some buildings, often built in inaccessible places with stone blocks of gigantic dimensions and cut to perfection, such as the archaic megalithic constructions of Sacsayhuaman, Tiahuanaco and Macchu Picchu.
To all this must be added a whole series of "impossible objects" dating back to ancient times.
Vanished civilizations waiting for us
Concrete evidence therefore shows the existence of disappeared civilizations dating back to ancient times, the remains of which have minimally surfaced but unfortunately have not been studied and considered as they should, just as no serious research has been done on the remains of these disappeared civilizations in places where their presence was likely, such as Antarctica.
There is no doubt that the cataclysm of 11,600 years ago literally disintegrated part of the buildings and objects of these vanished civilizations, and there is no doubt that another part of these buildings and objects met the same end due to the reuse by the populations that have succeeded one another in the areas where the vanished civilizations thrived in ancient times. The same living for millennia in one place brings about the disintegration of almost everything ancient civilizations have left us. And time and natural events, such as erosion and earthquakes, do the rest.
But despite all this part of the monuments and objects of Atlantean civilization must have survived.
The civilizations that thrived up to the catastrophe of 11,600 years ago also thrived in areas that are now under the sea bed, since at the time the sea level was much lower than it is now and there were vast land masses that are now submerged in water.
The many coastal cities of that time are today under the seabed, the remains of which are covered by marine sediments from 11,600 years ago, as well as by the mud brought by the "great deluge" 11,600 years ago. And in many areas, in addition to the sediments and mud, there is also a thick layer of ice that adds to all this, such as in Antarctica. However, it cannot be excluded that some of the Atlantean civilizations also thrived in areas that were then green and luxuriant and which today are the heart of huge deserts.
I conclude by recalling that it is scientifically possible that in the modern era we discover a truly advanced civilization that thrived for centuries in remote times. In fact, this has even happened in recent times, with the discovery of the incredible civilization of the Sumerians.
The Sumerians were the first inhabitants of Mesopotamia and until the mid-twentieth century, not only every trace, but even the memory of their civilization had been lost. When the first archaeological expeditions began to explore Mesopotamian territory to conduct research on Babylon, thousands of written documents made it possible to discover that, near the mouths of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, a complex civilization had lived and dominated before the Babylonians: the Sumerians. This civilization was by no means primitive and had advanced knowledge in many fields, especially in the field of astronomy, and the Sumerians are above all the oldest known people who used writing and mathematics, at least until the official discovery of some Atlantean civilization.
And also think that the discoveries of the vestiges of an unknown European civilization, which developed about 7,000 years ago in central Europe, date back to 2005. The traces of over 150 temples, built between 4,800 and 4,600 B.C., have been located along a strip over 640 kilometers long, through present-day Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Austria. Excavations have identified a number of complex wooden and earthen temples. The most notable discovery was made underground in the city of Dresden, where archaeologists unearthed the remains of a temple 150 meters in diameter, surrounded by four moats. Wooden tools were also found, as well as figurines representing characters or animals.
Therefore, despite the progress made in archeology, the discovery of very ancient unknown civilizations is widely possible, especially if one considers that what is under the seabed in the areas around the coasts is rarely investigated.
