Atlantis the lost City
"Atlantis ... the lost city" is one of the oldest myths and is based on the story of a flourishing civilization that lived in an "island beyond the Pillars of Hercules" and was told by Plato, the which in turn quoted the source as historian Solon, who 200 years before in Egypt had heard about the destruction of an island "west".
Thus, Plato became
the myth of the island
destroyed in a parable
about a civilization
that blinded for his
own power and
splendor, challenges
to the same gods, and
it was destroyed in
one day and one
night, because of
volcanic activity, on
the year 9500 BC (the
date varies between
10,000 and 8,500).
Since the last century the
history of Atlantis began
to be taken seriously by
many people,
and then become part of
the literature para
scientific, along with
UFO's, the Bermuda
Triangle or the lost
civilizations.
Many authors have
devoted a lot of books
to try to demonstrate,
often incurring errors
geological,
archaeological and
historical sites, that
there was Atlántida and
sank under the sea,
which was the cradle of
a highly advanced
civilization; perhaps of
extraterrestrial origin
and that the great
civilizations such as
Egypt or their
descendants.
According to historian Otto
Muck, Atlantis was a
paradise warm - warm,
fertile plains, mountain
ranges which abounded in
the forests of valuable
timber. It was a land rich in
copper, tin, gold and silver.
There was so much wealth
in these lands, and so
much excellence in its
climate, its population grew
rapidly, reaching the 60
million inhabitants!
Nessi a mystery
Because Not too much
people has seen Neisse and
some persons say that
Neisse and other monsters
are the protectors of the
world.
NessieThe Loch Ness Monster, also referred to as "Neisse",
is a creature or group of creatures said to live in Loch
Ness, a deep freshwater lake (known in Scotland as a
loch) near the city of Inverness. Neisse is generally
considered a lake monster. Along with Bigfoot and
Yeti, Neisse is perhaps the best-known mystery in
cryptozoology. "Neisse" was born by a journalist in a
newspaper article in 1933 after the first modern
sighting of a monster in loch ness was reported. The
oldest sighting on record dates back to AD 565 when
St Columba was said to have seen a large monster in
the water. Since the first newspaper report thousands
of sightings have been reported on the loch and on
land, many report the long neck and head emerging
from the loch, others see moving shapes and objects
on the loch surface or a large beast crossing the road
in front of them.
Bermuda triangleThe Bermuda Triangle
(also known as Devil's
Triangle and
Devil's Sea) is a nearly half-
million
square-mile (1.2 million
km2) area of
ocean roughly defined by
Bermuda,
Puerto Rico, and the
southernmost
tip of Florida. This area is
noted for a high
incidence of unexplained
los
ses of ships, small boats,
and aircraft..
The Bermuda Triangle has become
popular through representation by the
mass media, in which it is a
paranormal site in which the known
laws of physics are either violated,
altered, or both.
While there is a common belief that a
number of ships and airplanes have
disappeared under highly unusual circumstances in
this region, the United States Coast Guard and others
disagree with that assessment, citing statistics
demonstrating that the number of incidents involving
lost ships and aircraft is no larger than that of any
other heavily traveled region of the world.
bigfoot
Descends, more or less, from wildmen stories of the indigenous population of the Pacific Northwest. Its origins are difficult to discern as the legends existed prior to a single name for the creature.The legends differed in their details both regionally and between families in the same community. Similar stories of wildmen are found on every continent except Antarctica. Ecologist Robert Michael Pyle argues that most cultures have human-like giants in their folk history: "
We have this need for some larger-than-life creature.Most members of the Lummi would be able to tell a tale about Ts'emekwes, the local version of Bigfoot. The stories were similar to each other in terms of the general descriptions of Ts'emekwes, but details about the creature's diet and activities differed between the stories of different familiesThe stories were similar to each other in terms of the general descriptions of Ts'emekwes, but details about the creature's diet and activities differed between the stories of different families
