According to Plato, Atlantis sank 9,000 years before his time. So, around 11,600 years ago. In the Critias narrated, violent earthquakes and floods have drowned the continent in just a day and night.
Atlantis in telling the nation as a nation that has been thinking about a remarkable civilization advanced, they have an area of the continent-sized country is also its people have known shipping technology, trade, master the science of metallurgy, has a network of irrigation, with a life in art, dance, theater, music, and sports.
Furthermore, the Atlantis was first told at first is a respectable and intelligent people with a skill which is owned Atlantis Nation they became prosperous and wealthy life, their life is full of grandeur, then turned into an ambitious and set the rules according to the will of their own lusts and desires. That power and then punish them by bringing floods, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes are so fierce that submerge entire cities in that State.
Kingdom of Atlantis is the grandest empire ever in the world, the kingdom is at garnished with gold, so that archaeologists scholars give the title royal kingdom of Atlantis with gold.
Some scientists consider it the story of Atlantis as a myth, some other scientists moved kepenasarannya to conduct research about whether or not this about the existence of the kingdom of Atlantis.
Of course taste kepenasaran of the scientists on this, is because the story of the Kingdom of Atlantis was written by Plato (427-347 BC) in the book "Critias and Timaeus."
Timaeus and Critias is a book written under the form of dialogue that occurs between the Timaeus, Critias, Hermocrates and Socrates. In the book, the story is told by Critias Atlantis who heard the story of his grandfather also named Critias. While Critias (the grandfather) heard it from Solon. And Solon heard it from the Egyptian priests.
If the first difference of opinion regarding Believe it or not believe, now scientists dissent from scientists who believe, are the differences of opinion regarding the location or place where the kingdom of Atlantis is located.
WHERE is it?
Even more shocking anymore is the research conducted by Aryso Santos, a Brazilian scientist. Santos insisted that the Atlantis is the area now called Indonesia. In his research for 30 years, written in a book "Atlantis, the Lost Continent Finally Found, The Definitifve Localization of Plato's Lost Civilization" he displays the 33 comparisons, such as area, climate, natural resources, volcanoes, and the way of farming, which eventually concludes that Atlantis is Indonesia. Terasisasi wetland system typical of Indonesia, he argues, is the form adopted by the Borobudur Temple, Pyramids in Egypt, and ancient buildings Aztecs in Mexico.
Prof. Santos said that he has been researching the possibility of the location of Atlantis for 29 years. Santos science used in tracing the location of Atlantis is the science of Geology, Astronomy, Paleontology, Archeologi, Linguistics, Ethnology, and Comparative Mythology.
"The search conducted in the Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, the Caribbean, to the North Pole. This search had no results, so most people assume that Plato described it's just a fairy tale simply "Professor of Nuclear Physics Santos, an expert stated that Atlantis was never found because it sought in the wrong place. "The location is right in convincing is Indonesi", he said ..
Then Santos cites Plato's books that says that Atlantis is a prosperous country that the sun bathed all the time. Whereas age at the time was Ice Age, where the earth's overall temperature is approximately 15 degrees Celsius colder than today.
The location is bathed in sunlight at that time was Indonesia, which is located at the equator.
Furthermore, Santos was still in his book Plato mentions that the vast continent of Atlantis who lost it ".... Larger than Libya (North Africa) and Asia Minor combined into one ...". This spacious area is exactly the same with Indonesia coupled with the vast South China Sea.
According to Santos, the size of the time given Plato 11,600 years BP (Before Present), exactly the same with the end of the Pleistocene Ice Age, which also caused floods and earthquakes are very great.
This disaster caused the extinction of 70% of the species of mammal that lived at the time, including possibly two species of humans: Neanderthals and Cro-Magnon.
Before the floods, the island of Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan and Nusa Tenggara are still fused with the peninsula of Malaysia and the Asian continent.
The position of Indonesia is located on the 3 tectonic plates push each other, leading to a series of volcanoes ranging from Sumatra, Java, Nusa Tenggara, and continues to the North to the Philippines as part of the 'Ring of Fire'.
The main mountain mentioned by Santos, which plays an important role in this disaster is Mount Krakatoa and 'a mountain of other' (possibly Mount Toba). Another mountain is mentioned (in connection with stories mytologi is Mount Semeru, Gunung Agung and Gunung Rinjani.
Natural disasters, according to Santos's streak began with the explosion of Krakatoa volcano, which destroyed the entire mountain itself, and formed a large caldera of the Sunda Strait that would separate the Sumatra and Java islands.
These eruptions cause a tsunami with a very high sea waves, which then covered the lowlands of Sumatra to Peninsular Malaysia, between Java and Kalimantan, and between Sumatra and Kalimantan. Ash eruption of Krakatoa in the form of 'fly-ash' rose high into the air and blown by the wind to all parts of the world at that time still largely closed ice (Pleistocene Ice Age).
Ash was later dropped and the cover layer of ice. Due to the layer of ash, then melt the ice as a result of solar heat absorbed by the layer of ashes.
Glaciers in the Arctic and Europe then melts and flows into the lower parts of the earth, including Indonesia. Flooding due to tsunamis and melting ice is what causes the sea water rose around 130 meters above the lowlands of Indonesia. Lowlands in Indonesia sank below sea level, and living is high plains and volcanic peaks.
This huge water pressure caused great tension and pressure on continental plates, which resulted in volcanic eruptions and the next great earthquake. The result is the end of the Ice Age Pleitocene dramatically.
According to Professor Santos, experts who generally come from the West, believes firmly that human civilization come from their world. But reality shows that Atlantis is under the waters of Indonesia and not elsewhere.
Although told in their own language, it turns out the terms used by many who refer to things or events that are the same.
Santos concluded that the population of Atlantis consisted of several tribes / ethnic groups, where 2 pieces of greatest interest is Aryan and Dravidas.
All of these tribes came from Africa the previous 3 million years ago, which then spread throughout Eurasia and to the East until Auatralia approximately 1 million years ago. In Indonesia, they found an ideal natural conditions to develop, which develop knowledge about agriculture and civilization as a whole. This occurred in the Pleistocene era.
In the Ice Age, Atlantis is a tropical paradise with beautiful fields, mountains, precious stones, metals of all types, perfume, rivers, lakes, irrigation channels, a highly productive agriculture, gold palace with walls of silver, elephant , and various other wild animals. According to Santos, only Indonesia was as rich as this (!). When disasters occur described above, where the sea water rose as high as about 130 feet, Atlantis residents who survived were forced out and moved to India, Southeast Asia, China, Polynesia, and America.
Aryan tribes who migrated to India at first moved and settled in the Indus valley. . Because of the Himalayan glaciers are also melting and cause floods in the Indus valley, they migrate further into Egypt, Mesopotamia, Palestinian, North African, and North Asia.
In these new places they then seek to develop its culture of Atlantis which is their cultural roots.
The best records from the sinking continent of Atlantis was recorded in India through washing traditions in areas such as Lanka, Kumari Kandan, Tripura, and others. They are the inheritors of a culture that was drowning.
Tribe Dravidas with darker skin to stay in Indonesia. This massive migration can explain the sudden onset or immediately advanced technologies such as agriculture, processing of precious stones, metallurgy, religion, and above all is the language and alphabet in the world during the period called the Neolithic Revolution.
The languages can be traced derived from Sanskrit and Dravidian. Hence the languages of the world's highly regarded forward from the grammar and semantics. An example is the alphabet. All alphabets indicate a "fingerprint" of India which at that time is an integral part of Indonesia.
Of the Indonesians were born the seeds of civilization which later developed into the Indus valley culture, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Hatti, Greeks, Minoan, Crete, Rome, Inca, Maya, Aztec, and others. These cultures know the myth is very similar. The name of various tribes of Atlantis known as Tala, Attala, Patala, Talatala, Thule, Tollan, Aztlan, Tluloc, and others.
That is a summary of the theory of Professor Santos, who wanted to prove that the lost continent of atlantis was actually located in Indonesia. Strengthens the evidence that Indonesia as the Atlantis, as compared to other alternative locations concluded Professor Santos in a matrix which he calls the 'Checklist'.
To be able to link the between Indonesia and Atlantis means we should see a note from Plato because of the note early start polemics about the existence of Atlantis. There are records of Plato (Critias and Timaeus) which describes the characteristics of Atlantis-like characteristics of Indonesia:
1. Land of Atlantis is the best land in the world and therefore able to accommodate a large army (Critias)
2. This land will also benefit from annual rainfall, has an abundant supply in all places (Cristias)
3. Orichalcum (Copper and Brass) can be dug in many areas of the island. At that time Orichalcum more valuable than any precious objects except gold. On the island there are also a lot of wood to the work of artisans and enough supplies for livestock or wild animals, which live in rivers or the ground, who live in the mountains or inland. Even on the island there are also many elephants. (Cristias)
4. This strength comes from the Atlantic. At that time, the Atlantic are navigable, and there is an island located in front of the straits which you call the pillars of hercules. The island was larger than Libya and Asiakecil combined and pillars is also an entrance to the other islands around it, and from the islands you can get to the entire continent into the Atlantic ocean pembats. Sea which is in the pillars of Hercules is just like a port that has a narrow entrance. but the sea beyond the sea dalah real, and the continent that surrounds it can be called the continent without borders. In the region of Atlantis, there is a great empire that ruled the entire island and other nearby islands and some areas in other continents. (Timaeus)
5. In the middle of the middle island there is a land that is considered the best and have good soil ... (Cristias)
6. Many of the flood that has occurred over 9000 years, the number of years that has happened, namely the number of years that had happened when I spoke. And dive time it also happens a lot of changes. It never happened in the history of so many land accumulation that fell from the mountains in a region. But the land has been falling and stockpiling areas of Atlantis and covered from the eye. "
7. Because only a night, torrential rain which swept the earth's extraordinary and at the same time an earthquake. Then came the stagnant flood waters throughout the region. "(Critias)
8. "Each of the mainland have sirkumferen equidistant from the center of the island. So no one person and one kapalpun that can reach the island. Poseidon then made two springs in the middle of the island, one of warm water and one cold water. he also makes a variety of food emerged from the fertile soil. "(Critias)
9. Forces which one led by the cities of Athens. On the other hand, troops led by the kings of Atlantis, which is such that I have just described, an island larger than Libya and Asia combined, which is then destroyed by an earthquake and a pile of mud that became a barrier for the explorers who sailed to other parts of the ocean. (Critias).
