Discovered possible indications of the existence of Atlantis

The existence of Atlantis has not yet been proven, however, we have some other testimony described in texts of Platon and in the well-known dialogues of Timeo and Critias .But, is there concrete evidence on the existence or not of this lost continent?

At the moment we do not have conclusive evidence yet.We are told that Atlantis had a vast territory with great force naval, which stood very possibly in front of the Columns of Hercules (the Strait of Gibraltar) and which inhabited an almost "ideal" society.

They had great natural resources , of a varied fauna where elephants were not lacking, for example, there is also a mountain surrounded by water, a very distinguished acropolis with a royal palace and a temple in honor of Poseidon , that god who protected them for a long time.

Until one day, the Atlanteans became too much or proud and they lost the favor of their deity.Timeo tells us, among other things, that they came to dominate the existing territories from Libya to Egypt, until in the end a violent earthquake made that prosperous country disappear in the absolute silence of the waters.

But, do we have feasible evidence to show us the truth of all this? Today at Mysterious , we offer you the latest available data.

The metal from Atlantis: the Orichalcum

The news appeared recently in various international media , such as the "Daily Mail".In these media we are told of a hopeful discovery, made by a group of archaeologists of an Italian university, the "Suor Orsola Benincasa"

And what is this finding about? It was in front of the coasts of Sicily, in a city called Gela.Under its calm and bluish waters, it was nothing more and nothing less than an old sunken ship.Submerged at about 300 meters deep.

Discovered possible indications of the existence of Atlantis

What was inside ignited the most subtle expectation among the experts.In the bellies of the old ship were 39 ingots of something very special. A material known as Orichalcum, Oricalco Or Orhalhal.It is a type of legendary metal that appears in detail described in Platon's work, as the most typical thing that was extracted from the mines of Atlantis.The second most valuable after gold.It is a Greek word that can be translated as "mountain copper".

After several analyzes it has been discovered that the Orichalcum is actually a mixture that of copper, zinc, nickel, lead and iron and, in turn, these ingots coincide with the details that Platon himself provided on how they used to melt them.

But if these ingots are interesting, even more so the ship they were in.It is a very, very old ship; According to scientists, it should be a little more than 2,600 years old, which places it on a route that would go from some point farther from the Mediterranean to Asia Minor , at which point some storm ended up sinking it.

It should also be noted that, until recently, many considered the Orichalcum as something very similar to amber and without any relation to Atlantis.Others do relate it to the lost continent, but now, authors such as the British researcher James Allen , tells us that it would be more successful to locate the Atlantis of the Andean Highlands, since the orichalcum closely resembles the natural gold and copper alloy in the mines in Urukilia, near Pampa Aullagas, in Bolivia.In fact, beautiful crafts are available with this material.

Discovered possible indications of the existence of Atlantis

But what Recently discovered on the coasts of Sicily it brings us a new type of metal formed by 75-80% copper, 15-20% zinc and small traces of nickel, lead and iron .Will it then belong to the mines that Platon said existed in Atlantis? We do not know yet, but as the research progresses we will inform you, because the subject undoubtedly deserves it.

What is your opinion? Do you think Atlantis really existed?

The Hynek scale to assess UFO sightings

Are you skeptical? The American astrologer and ufologist Josef Allen Hynek, creator of the Hynek scale to identify the types of UFO sightings (unidentified flying objects), was also at first. It is that the unknown, the more extraordinary and supernatural is presented, the tendency will be to seek a more or less logical explanation to, perhaps, reassure.Led by the same, Hynek came to reason at close encounters with beings from other worlds as "a matter of postwar nerves ” . Later with his own experience, he would not only rectify his initial position by stating that it is a “ real phenomenon to face ” , but it would create a classification system that you will know next.The ufologists have adopted it universally! The Hynek scale, the UFO sighting classification system Imagine that you are observing the night sky, when suddenly something in the distance, between clouds, it flashes like nothing else you've ever witnessed.Suppose you're not skeptical as Hynek was or...

What would the aliens look like? Science speaks

In science fiction, the aliens are described in two ways, either as viscous and terrifying creatures, as in the feature films of Alien, or with great similarities to the human aspect.This has been the product of the imagination of creative minds, but now, thanks to a theory introduced by a group of astrobiologists, we could know what the aspect of the aliens is.Discover how. Scientists could know the appearance of the aliens A new study published in the International Journal of Astrobiology has taken the theoretical approach of astrobiology, to predict that the aliens could have a appearance similar to that of the inhabitants of the Earth . The Oxford University researchers noted that it is not possible to say what aliens look like in terms of specific features or adaptations, but Samuel Levin, lead author of the study, argues that aliens will be s subjects to the same natural selection rules as we do , and as a result they will have similar types of adaptations.
