Considered a lost continent, Atlantis fishing various scientific speculation. Fact or myth? Atlantis
is an intriguing mystery to scientists, and the spritualis to trace the
progress of human civilization again, it is said, is lost. At least, thousands of books have been written particulars legend. In
the beginning was Plato (427-347 BC), Greek philosopher, noted a story
about the lost continent in two of his works, Timaeus and Critias.
Both are the last works of Plato, written in 347 BC. In the same year Plato died. Narrated in both works, the Atlantis is a city with high civilization and technology is very advanced. Atlantis, Plato said, had a great maritime power, and being in front of the "Pillars of Hercules." The ground was fertile, prosperous people. He was a kind of heaven on earth, whose territory covers western Europe to Africa. Plato said Atlantis was about 9,000 years before the present school of Solon, or 9600 years before Plato's time to live. The triumph of Atlantis, Plato said, began to fade after a failed master of Athens, the land of the gods and goddesses. Disaster hit the island of Atlantis that disappeared into the sea in a matter of days. The inhabitants who survived went looking for a new place. Atlantis eventually become a "paradise lost." Indeed, many people doubt the story's fairy-like Plato. But, as Alan Cameron described in the book "Greek Mythography in the Roman World" published by Oxford (2004), mythology is a pillar for the nation's cultural elite of Greece. Although many doubt its truth, but that story could be a reflection of certain events in the past. Atlantis, for example, be an interesting discussion after the Age of Enlightenment. There is a rebuttal, parody, until a scientific explanation. "It seems that only in modern times people take seriously the story of Atlantis," writes Cameron. Some call the story was inspired by the story of the past, such as the Thera eruption or the Trojan War. Or consider the claim that Plato also inspired a number of contemporary events in his time, such as the collapse of the dynasty in 373 BC Helike. Alternatively, the failure of the military invasion of Athens on the island of Sicily in the War of 415-413 BC. At the beginning of modern civilization, the story of Atlantis was revived by the authors of the flow in the Renaissance humanist Europe. One was Francis Bacon, who published an essay titled "New Atlantis" in 1627. In his writings, Bacon saw Atlantis as a utopian society that he called Bensalem. Located on the west coast of the Americas. Other authors did not want to lose. Olaus Rudbeck, through his writings in 1679, assume that Atlantis was in his native country, Sweden. The country is called Rudbeck as the beginning of the birth of civilization, including language. Famous British scientist, Sir Isaac Newton was the performance of opinion. In 1728, inventor of the theory of gravitation published a paper entitled "The Chronology of the Ancient Kingdoms Amended." Newton was also curious to learn the explanation related mythological Atlantis. Although no specific mention of Atlantis, Newton describes historical events in a number of places, which have a similar bright future version of Plato's Atlantis. For example, the triumph of the Century Ancient Greek, Egyptian Empire, Asuriah, Babylon, the Temple of Solomon, and the Persian Empire. Mythology of Atlantis also makes the Nazi regime in Germany disturbed. In 1938, a high-ranking Nazi special police, Heinrich Himmler, reportedly formed a team expedition to Tibet. You see, there is the story of Atlantis was built Aryans, ancestors of the Germans. The mission was a failure. Nazi belief of many scientists doubt it lately. The hunt trail in the archipelago, and speculation continued existence of Atlantis sought throughout the ages. Several works were born, and indicate specific areas allegedly part of a 'triumph of the Sunset' is. Indonesia is also included in the list of researchers and enthusiasts speculation Atlantis mythology. For example, Professor Arysio Santos of Brazil. He geologists and nuclear physicists. Then, there is a geneticist from Oxford, England, Professor Stephen Oppenheimer. Both are suspected of Indonesia bury the remains of 'Paradise Lost' is. Santos displays the map of Indonesia in his book published in 2005, "Atlantis: The Lost Continent Finally Found." Continent it may have been lost in most of Indonesia and the South China Sea, according to Santos' convictions. In the paper, he claims to have done comparative research, such as the condition of the region, weather, natural resources, volcanoes, and the lifestyle of local communities. In the book, he hypothesized, the archipelago was once Atlantis. For Santos, among other indications about the area. As stated by Plato, Atlantis was "larger than the combined Libya (North Africa) and Asia (Minor)". Indonesia, by Santos, is considered compatible with the character's geography. Video interviews Santos on YouTube pages, showing he had no doubt that Atlantis really existed, and not just a myth. Santos explains why scientists have so far failed to find Atlantis, and doubt the existence of the lost city. "Because they look in the wrong place. They look in the Sea of Atlantis, "he said in an interview on YouTube, such as pages loaded Hubpages. Assumption that Atlantis was in the Indian Atlantis, is logical. However, it is not the right location. "Atlantis was in the Indian Ocean [Indonesia], in other parts of the earth," he said. In the eastern hemisphere that is, civilization began. However, he said, the Indian Ocean or South China Sea as a location for Atlantis is just a limitation. "It certainly in Indonesia," said Santos. Before the ice age ended 30,000 to 11,000 years ago, in Indonesia there is a large mainland. At that time sea level 150 meters lower than today. In that place of civilization. Meanwhile, the rest of the Earth from North Asia, Europe and North America was still covered in ice. The islands are scattered in Indonesia is considered as the summit of the mountain, and the plateau of a continent that sank due to rising sea levels, and amblesnya lowlands in the late Pleistocene Glacial Period. It happened around 11,600 years ago. "It was the same span of time in dialogue with Plato described his creation as offensive Atlantis," Santos wrote in the introduction in his book. Contrary to popular belief the investigators before or on the generation of Santos, he was optimistic that Indonesia, which is referred to as the legacy of Atlantis, became the forerunner of the birth of a number of ancient civilizations. The inhabitants of the region that survived from rising sea levels and volcanic eruptions eventually split up to find places. They "moved into the areas now called India, Southeast Asia, China, Polynesia, America, and the Near East," writes Santos. A similar explanation put forward a British writer, Stephen Oppenheimer, in the book "Eden in the East: The Drowned Continent of Southeast Asia" (1998). He wrote a continent that sank due to flash floods, and rising sea levels about 7,000 to 14,000 years ago. Areas that were submerged in what is now known as Southeast Asia. Oppenheimer called the sunken continent as Sundaland. The inhabitants who survived that time and then spread to various places to Europe, bringing their culture and lifestyle. That's why Oppenheimer assumed EuroAsia racial origins in Europe can be traced in Asia. Oppenheimer was convinced that the inhabitants of Sundaland at that time had advanced civilizations from other regions. "They've developed a pattern of subsistence, than just hunt animals into farming, gardening, fishing, trade and even across the ocean. All that was done before 5000 years ago, "the assumption of Oppenheimer's piece. This recorded history for the parent of modern human civilization derived from Egypt, the Mediterranean and Mesopotamia. But, according to him, the ancestors of modern human civilization stem from the Malay who is often called Sundaland, or Indonesia. What is the evidence? "Indonesia first agricultural civilization existed from other agricultural civilization in the world," said Oppenheimer in his surgical discussions in Jakarta, October 2010. Sure, genetics expert opinion and the structure of human DNA from Oxford University, gave a different paradigm from the existing all along that the earliest civilization from the West. In contrast to Santos, Oppenheimer did not jump to conclusions Sundaland is Atlantis. He himself admits more research is needed, and hope there is collaboration with researchers in Indonesia, to explain the Sundaland is Heaven's Sunset. But, Oppenheimer believes Sundaland in the archipelago had a highly developed civilization in his time. Pseudoscience? Santos and Oppenheimer's opinion on the trail of Atlantis and Indonesia as the former center of civilization on the one hand inviting charm. But not all parties believe in the claims. Interestingly, it was Indonesia's own scientists criticized the view of the two foreign observers. Research Professor of Astronomy of the National Aeronautics and Space Institute (LAPAN), Thomas Djamaluddin, doubted the story of Atlantis. For Djamaluddin, the story of Atlantis was just a story, with minimal scientific value. In other words, the explanation of Atlantis that was brought to the researchers for this entry in pseudoscience, or pseudoscience. "This is not scientific. This is pseudoscience. Between stories with scientific fact that mixed in there, "said scientist Indonesia, Thomas Djamaluddin, in conversation with VIVAnews some time ago. But the word Djamaluddin, Atlantis is nothing more than just a legendary story written by Plato. "If it is used as the scientific facts of geological history, Plato was only based on her understanding. Plato did not mention the data, "explains Jamaladin. Graduate research graduate of Kyoto University, Japan, was also considered not to show the geological history of Indonesia is Atlantis. "This paper has been circulated Santos, a kind of long. That's just conjecture, "he said. Another rebuttal, for example, came from a senior geologist of BP Migas, Awang Satyana. In a book review show Santos, about two years ago, Awang said Santos did not present evidence and arguments geology. Sundaland, Awang said, is a submerged continental shelf stable 15000-11000 years ago by deglasiasi process due to climate change cycle. "Not by a volcanic eruption. Supervolcano eruption would likely lead to winter in the long run, "said Awang. Even Sundaland about human migration to the rest of the earth, said Awang, contrary to the evidence of modern human migration research in biomolecular engineering. Geologists from the University of Padjadjaran, Oki Oktariadi, reminding the alleged location of Atlantis is not just Indonesia. There are many regions like Andalusia, the island of Crete, Santorini, Cape Spartel, Cyprus, Malta, Ponza, Sardinia, Troy, and others. "The results of a recent study by Kimura's (2007) found some stone monuments under the waters of Yonaguni, Japan suspected remnants of the civilization of Atlantis or Lemuria," the exposure Oktariadi in a paper titled "Is Sundaland's Atlantis the Lost?" While the truth remains doubtful, for Oktariadi, the study had a positive value for Indonesia. At least, this country is better known internationally, especially among researchers in various fields. "The Indonesian government needs to seize these opportunities," wrote Oktariadi. Renne RA Kawilarang, Elin Yunita Kristanti, Ismoko Widjaya
