Lost City Atlantis | Myth or Reality? The Shocking Truth Finally Unveiled
Tumblr media
The story of the lost city of Atlantis is a captivating and enduring mystery, but it's essential to clarify that it remains in the realm of myth and legend rather than established historical fact. While many theories and speculations about Atlantis exist, there is no conclusive archaeological or scientific evidence to confirm its existence.
The Atlantis story originates from the writings of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, who described it as a powerful and advanced civilization that supposedly sank beneath the sea. Over the centuries, various interpretations and theories about Atlantis have emerged, but none have been definitively proven.
When discussing Atlantis, it's important to distinguish between the enduring fascination with the legend and the lack of concrete evidence to support its existence. While it continues to be a popular subject in literature, art, and popular culture, the idea of Atlantis as a real, historical place remains unproven.

LIGHTHOUSE
Since its construction around 280 BC, the Lighthouse of Alexandria has been considered one of the most famous monuments in history. It is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World along with the Pyramids of Giza. It is believed that the Greek architect Sostrate designed it on the small island of Pharos, connected to Alexandria by a bridge. Its octagonal tower rose on a square base, ending in a cylindrical peak. Although its exact dimensions are unknown, it is estimated that the tower was at least 105 meters high and its light was visible from 55 kilometers away, according to Jewish historian Flavius Josephus. Unfortunately, the lighthouse collapsed and disappeared during the Middle Ages, probably due to earthquakes. However, archaeologists believe they have discovered some of its remains in the waters near Pharos.

Meroe always resisted the onslaughts of the Greeks and Romans, while Alexandria peacefully welcomed all visitors. The city, founded by Alexander the Great, was a major port city situated at the mouth of the River Nile and offered access to Mediterranean trade and a safe anchorage on the island of Pharos. It quickly became a center of knowledge and culture, attracting scholars from various backgrounds such as Greeks, Egyptians and Jews. The Great Library, located in the Mouseĵon district, was founded to collect "all the books in the world", but was partially destroyed during the wars against Rome. Alexandria was home to great minds like Euclid, Archimedes and Ptolemy. The geographer Eratosthenes first measured the Earth in the city, and the first translation of the Old Testament from Hebrew into Greek was produced by hundreds of scholars in Alexandria. In the 1st century AD, the city was also where Christianity began to spread in Egypt. The city prospered until the 7th century AD, when it was conquered by the Persians and then by the Arabs. Although many of its monuments have sunk into damp soil and been devastated by natural disasters such as tidal waves, the modern city of Alexandria, with over 5 million inhabitants today, stands on top of the ruins of ancient Alexandria. However, the exact location of some of its most famous monuments, such as the tomb of the city's founder, has yet to be discovered.
