Many people know about the existence of a legend about the great and powerful Atlantis, which about 12 thousand years ago disappeared from the face of the earth in one night. According to the ancient Greek philosopher Plato about two thousand years ago, an island located in the Atlantic Ocean disappeared into the abyss of sea water with its inhabitants. Since then, numerous researchers have unsuccessfully searched for the mysterious continent, putting forward more and more hypotheses of its location.
Many scholars do not agree with Plato's version that Atlantis was in the Atlantic Ocean. So, the famous atlantologist Flem-At proposes to begin the search for the sunken continent in Antarctica. This choice is not accidental. As a result of many years of careful research, which were based on the words of Plato himself that from the island you can easily get to other islands, and from them to the mainland, bordered by the true ocean, the scientist came to this conclusion. Flem-Ata was especially alarmed by the fact that Plato called the "sea" from the Strait of Gibraltar "a narrow-aisle bay."
Flem-At did not understand why Plato called this sea a "bay." Probably, as the scientist reasoned, the "true ocean" was so large that the sea could be called a bay. But then the Atlantic ocean could not be “true”, since it is surrounded by land on all sides and it is not connected to other water expanses of the globe.
The researcher decided to find an ocean that would meet the definition of "true." The atlantologist took the globe taken from the axis and began to rotate it: when Antarctica appeared in front of his gaze, Flem-Ata was pierced by an amazing conjecture. After all, if you look at the world through the ice-covered land of Antarctica, you can see that the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans, merging, form the very “true” ocean.
In addition, the dimensions of the ocean indicated by Plato coincided with the dimensions that Antarctica had at that time. This version is also supported by the fact that Atlantis was a mountainous area and towered high above sea level, while the height of Antarctica above sea level is 2000 meters. Therefore, Flem-At offers to search for Atlantis in Antarctica, believing that the mainland is under the ice.
There are other versions of the location of Atlantis, considering the seabed. In 1968, flying his own plane home, an American noticed strange stone structures under the clear waters of the ocean. He immediately remembered the prediction of the great seer Edgar Cayce that it was at this time that the mysterious Atlantis would be discovered in this place. So the Bimini road became widely known - two parallel tracks running under water, paved with slabs. No one knows where this road leads. The local population considers it an integral part of the Bimini Islands.
Scientists are researching the Bimini road, interesting signs have already been found that can indicate the proximity of the clue to the mysteries of Atlantis. During scuba diving in this area, scuba divers at the bottom of the ocean discovered round and square powerful sites, columns and dolmens. In the samples of ocean soil taken at this place, the remains of river shells and continental plants were found. In addition, the diver Valentine found the ruins of the temple, whose age is about 12-14 thousand years.
Are found artifacts traces of the famous Atlantis? I want to believe it. In the meantime, the waters of the ocean carefully preserve their centuries-old secrets.
