It Turns Out That The Lost Atlantis Indonesia

It Turns Out That The Lost Atlantis Indonesia - Successive natural disasters experienced by Indonesia. Starting from the tsunami in Aceh until the recent mud volcano in East Java. It
Reminiscent of similar events in the area known as the Continent of Atlantis. Is there a relationship between Indonesia and
Atlantis?


Plato (427-347 BC) stated that tens of thousands of years ago there was a variety of simultaneous volcanic eruptions, causing earthquakes, melting ice, and flooding. The incident resulted in some of Earth's surface to sink. That part is called the lost continent or Atlantis.

Recent research conducted by Aryso Santos, asserted that Atlantis was the region now called Indonesia. After doing research for 30 years, he produced the book Atlantis, The Lost Continent Finally Found The Definitifve Localization of Plato's Lost Civilization (2005). santos-33 comparison atlantis.jpgSantos displays, such as area, climate, natural resources, volcanoes, and the way of farming, which ultimately concluded that Atlantis is Indonesia. System of a typical rice field terasisasi Indonesia, he argues, is the form adopted by the Borobudur Temple, Pyramids in Egypt, and ancient buildings Aztecs in Mexico.

Context Indonesia

It is no accident when Indonesia in 1958, on the idea of ​​Prof. Dr. Mochtar Kusumaatmadja through Law no. 4 Perpu 1960, sparking Djoeanda Declaration. The contents stated that the state
Indonesia with the interior waters of the archipelago is unity. The fact was later recognized by the International Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982. Referring to the study Santos, during which tens of thousands of years ago the territory of Indonesia is a unified continent. Not fragmented in the tens of thousands of islands as now.

Santos determined that in the past that Atlantis was a continent that stretches from southern India, Sri Lanka, Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, continue eastward to Indonesia (now) as its center. In that region there are dozens of active volcanoes and surrounded by oceans that blends named Orientale, consisting of the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean.

Plato's theory explains that the lost continent of Atlantis is due to the eruption of a volcano erupting simultaneously. At that time most of the world is still covered by layers of ice (Pleistocene era). With the outbreak of dozens of volcanoes simultaneously, mostly located in Indonesia (first), then tenggelamlah partially continent and the origin of water covered by ice melting. Among the eruption of Mount Meru in South India and Mount Semeru / Sumeru / Mahameru in East Java. Then a volcanic eruption in Sumatra which formed Lake Toba to the island Somasir, which is the top of the mountain that erupted on saaitu. The most powerful eruptions in the future is Mount Krakatau (Krakatoa), which breaks part of Sumatra and Java, and others as well as forming the Sunda strait plains.

Atlantis comes from the Sanskrit Atala, which means heaven or review tower (watch tower), Atalaia (Potugis), Atalaya (Spanish). Plato asserts that the area at the time Atlantis was the center of world civilization in the form of culture, natural resources, science / technology, and others. Plato specifies that the location
Atlantis in the Atlantic Ocean right now. In his time, he insisted that the earth is flat and surrounded by an ocean (ocean) thoroughly.

Ocean derived from the Sanskrit word meaning ashayana surrounds thoroughly. The opinion was later challenged by experts in the future such as Copernicus, Galilei-Galileo, Einstein and Stephen Hawking.

Santos is different from Plato about the location of Atlantis. Brazil's scientists argue that at the time of the eruption of the volcano's range, causing the ice to melt and flow into the ocean so that the width increases. Water and mud from the volcano ash burdening the ocean and the bottom, resulting in tremendous pressure on the earth's crust at the bottom of the ocean, especially in pantaibenua. This pressure resulted in an earthquake. This earthquake is further strengthened by the mountains in a row that erupted later and cause a devastating tsunami waves. Santos named Heinrich Events.

In an attempt to express opinions based on the history of the world, it seems an oversight that Plato has made two, first on the shape / position of the earth which he said flatly. Secondly, regarding the location of Atlantis which is said to be in the Atlantic Ocean that is opposed by Santos. U.S. military research in the Atlantic region proved unable to find traces of that lost continent. Therefore there is not arbitrarily proverb that says, "Amicus Plato, sed magical amica veritas." That, "I am pleased to Plato, but I prefer the truth."

However, there are circumstances present that between Plato and Santos agreed. Namely first, that the location of the sunken continent of Atlantis and by Santos confirmed as the territory of the Republic of Indonesia. Second, the number or length of the chain of volcanoes in Indonesia. Among them is the Kerinci, Gutters, Krakatoa, Malabar, Galunggung, Pangrango, Merapi, Merbabu, Semeru, Bromo, the Great, Rinjani. Some of the mountain has been or is being active again.

Third, the issue of mud from the eruption of volcano ashes mixed with sea water to mud. Sludge at sea is then seep into the ground on the mainland. Hot mud is mixed with natural gas which is impossible barrier of mud (mud barriers that can not pass), or in navigable (not passable),
can not be penetrated or penetrated. In the case in Sidoarjo,'ve done remote sensing, remote sensing, which indicates the existence of canalization system in the region. There is a possibility that the former distribution canalization mud volcano from the past.

That Indonesia is the region which is considered as the heir to Atlantis, certainly should make us grateful. Make us not lower ourselves in the international relationship, because in his time Atlantis was the center of world civilization. But as the disaster-prone areas, as has been experienced by Atlantis, it's time we learn from history and take advantage of the development of cutting-edge science to be able to cope
