Chapter 1568 Daxizhou Civilization
After Zhao Zhongyao said these words, he looked at his wife and children. Feifei Tiantian and Qu Yuqian looked surprised when they heard what Zhao Zhongyao said.
‘Dad, so to speak, Daxizhou is more mysterious than the Bermuda Triangle. Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said.
‘Of course, Daxizhou is a very magical place. Perhaps in prehistoric times, the Daxizhou civilization was the most developed civilization in the world at that time. In particular, the Atlantean civilization in the center of the Great Western Continent reached the highest level of civilization in the world at that time. 'Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei again and said.
‘Dad, let’s go to the ruins of Atlantis, the most developed civilization in prehistoric times. Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said.
‘Even if you want to go, you have to rest for two days! We just came back from the Bermuda Triangle, and we have to rest for two days before continuing to fight! Zhao Zhongyao looked at his son again and said.
'Okay, since Dad wants to rest for two days, let's rest for two more days. ’ After hearing what Dad said, Feifei said this again.
Although Tiantian is also very curious about Daxizhou, she is not in a hurry to go on a tour and adventure in Daxizhou, she just wants to hear her father continue to tell the legend about Daxizhou.
'Brother, I think we'll just have to listen to these stories from Dad. I think Dad knows a lot, and we don't have to travel and explore at all. ’ Tiantian looked at Feifei and said.
‘Hmph, I don’t want to just listen to stories! I must go to the site to see. ’ Feifei looked at his sister again and said.
'But we're not going on adventures yet! Why don't you just listen to Dad tell stories! ’ said Tian Tian, looking at Fei Fei with some pride.
After hearing what Tiantian said, Feifei looked at Zhao Zhongyao pretending to be unhappy and said, Dad, then stop talking. Let my sister think for herself! You should wait until we go to the ancient ruins of Daxizhou together, and then tell us these stories! '
After hearing Feifei's words every day, he looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, 'Dad, don't listen to brother, you should continue telling us stories! Since you know so many stories, why don't you tell us some more! The more exciting you speak, the more we want to go to the scene to see it. '
After hearing what his daughter said, Zhao Zhongyao looked at his son with a smile and said, "Feifei, if you don't want to listen, you can watch TV." Since I want to hear it every day, I will tell her some more stories about Daxizhou! '
‘Huh, it’s really boring, I’m going to watch TV. ’ Feifei saw that his father was going to tell a story about Daxizhou, so he got up and went to watch TV.
Only then did Zhao Zhongyao start looking at his daughter and telling some legends and stories about Daxizhou.
Zhao Zhongyao continued the story he had told before. Zhao Zhongyao said, "Although Plato did not continue to record the legend about Daxizhou in "Timaius". But in the later unfinished dialogue "Kurisias", Korisias talked about Atlantis again, this time in very detail.
The coast of Daxizhou is mountainous, and the center is an open and fertile plain. "Although there are a lot of external income coming from every corner of the empire, the main necessities of life are self-sufficient on the island itself.
The island is rich in minerals, both solid and fusible, including a rare metal that is now lost, called oricyte, which is only inferior to gold in value, and more precious than any other metal. Much more, at that time there were mines mining orichocopper all over the island. The dense forests produced large quantities of wood for carpenters and builders.
There are also many wild animals and domestic animals on the island, including countless elephants. The vast and verdant grassland is enough to support this huge animal with a strong appetite. Other animals that live in swamps, lakes, rivers, mountains, and plains also have abundant food.
In addition, the earth grew all kinds of fragrant spices that can still be found in the world today, and the roots, stems, nectar, berries, etc. of various plants are edible. As for the planted ones, all kinds of fruits in the forest can be eaten after being dried... The fruits produced in the forest can be eaten and used to make beverages and refine cooking oil.
There are also fruits that bring them joy and happiness, but are hard to last for a long time, and they are used as desserts for people to eat after meals, so that people who enjoy wine and food can eliminate the feeling of fullness after eating. This paradise-like island, bathed in the warm sunshine, is full of beautiful scenery and abundance. People from all walks of life enjoy the gifts of the earth, and the king uses the rich resources on the island to build and beautify temples, palaces, ports, and shipyards. and the whole country. "Daxizhou is simply a paradise on earth in Plato's writings.
The palace and temple of Daxizhou are located in the center of the island, and the temple is dedicated to the patron saint Poseidon. The royal palace is magnificent, studded with gold, silver, ivory, and the mysterious and rare oricha, which can sparkle like a flame.
The main island is surrounded by a canal six hundred feet wide, surrounded by a ring of land twelve hundred feet wide, surrounded by a canal twelve hundred feet wide, and then another ring twenty eight hundred feet wide. There is a circular canal 1,800 feet wide, which can easily accommodate large ships. These circular canals and land divide the whole island into five concentric administrative districts. The center runs through the districts and leads directly to the ocean.
Curricias also described in detail the administrative structure of Atlantis; the merchant fleet consisting of 1,200 ships; some ceremonies and many magnificent buildings in the place. After Plato borrowed Curicias, he praised Daxizhou's morality, and Daxizhou people "only focus on morality, despise everything, and regard the prosperity in front of them as passing clouds.
However, luxury is born over time, and Daxizhou people are overwhelmed by customs and demons. As a result, the Daxizhou people became corrupt and useless, and could no longer preserve their great blessings. They obviously became degenerate day by day, and their natural virtues, which were their most precious wealth, were gradually lost... They are greedy for profit , only know how to fight for power and profit."
Daxizhou has become a hotbed of crime. In the end, God Zeus decided to punish the people of Atlantis in order to curb their worldly desires and restore their piety. Therefore, he "called all the gods to his temple; the temple is located in the center of the universe, overlooking the whole world. The gods are assembled behind the temple, Zeus said--". Plato's record ends here. '
When Zhao Zhongyao said this, he looked at his daughter and said,'That's all I can know. I also found these things from some sources. '
'Dad, what did Zeus say? Why did Daxizhou suddenly disappear? ’ After listening to the stories told by her father every day, she had some questions but didn’t quite understand them.
After hearing what his daughter said, Zhao Zhongyao said again,'I'm afraid we can only solve these questions if we go to Daxizhou! Of course, even if we go to Daxizhou, we may not be able to solve all these mysteries.
The story is very vivid and described in great detail, but it is not based on facts. How to explain it? Did Plato make it up? Was it a myth made up by the priests of Coricias, Sosa, or Saes?
Why didn't the history and mythology of Plato directly mention Daxizhou? Was it possible that the Athenian state, significant or not, existed in 9600 BC?
Could Egyptian records go back 10,000 years before the birth of Jesus? Plato’s most famous disciple, Aristotle, mentioned Daxizhou, why did he only say one sentence, which is extremely simple: “He who created it is also the one who destroys it.” Hundreds of years have passed, quietly The question about Daxizhou has attracted people's attention again, and it is discussed whether Daxizhou exists or not.
Geographer and historian Strabo is skeptical of the Atlantis story. But some scholars believe that Daxizhou once existed. In the following years, various speculations about Daxizhou emerged one after another, and emerged endlessly during the turbulent millennium after the fall of the Roman Empire. In the six hundred years since, no one has produced significant new evidence or insights.
In the 15th century, European history entered a new stage, and a wave of exploration was set off among Europeans. People were keen to find wealth and discover unknown areas. The legendary lost Great Western Continent set off a wave of exploration once again. So some people think that Daxizhou has not been caught in the waves, and the new continent discovered by Columbus is Daxizhou.
Others, following their predecessors, point to the West Indies, the Azores, the Canary Islands, and other islands in the Atlantic as remnants of annihilated empires. In the following four hundred years, more and more people studied Daxizhou. Scholars of various schools cited classics, such as the Bible, classical writings, ancient myths, and superficial opinions of amateur archaeologists, etc., to determine the location of Daxizhou. In the Atlantic Ocean, it was also proposed in Sweden, the North Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, and even the Sahara.
Nowadays, serious scholars will ignore all kinds of false speculations about Daxizhou, but there is one person's idea that has attracted everyone's attention. The man was Connelly, not a professional scientist, explorer, or historian, but a politician who served as lieutenant governor of Minnesota and was later elected to Congress.
He is an intellectual who spares no effort to explore new knowledge and is known as a learned man in the US Congress. Connery spared no effort to study Plato's works meticulously. In 1882, he wrote "Atlantis: The World Before the Flood" and published it. Soon this book sold well all over the world. This book is still being circulated today, and most modern inferences about Daxizhou are based on this book. '
Zhao Zhongyao looked at his daughter, and then told some legends and stories about Daxizhou. After listening to it every day, he became even more interested in this Great Western Continent.
So, I looked at Zhao Zhongyao again every day and said, Dad, can we set off tomorrow? I want to hurry up and see what this Daxizhou civilization looks like. '
After hearing what his daughter said, Zhao Zhongyao said helplessly, 'But we still don't know where Daxizhou is at all! Where do you say we are going to explore! '
When Zhao Zhongyao said this, he said very helplessly every day, 'Dad, since this is the case, then we don't have to go exploring. You said that you still don't know where Daxizhou is, so how are we going to explore it! '
After hearing what his daughter said, Zhao Zhongyao said again,'Tiantian, because of this, I need to stay at home for a few days, and I want to find some clues about Daxizhou from some materials. We must first figure out which continent is in which ocean. We can't travel and explore without knowing the exact place. Since it is a tourism adventure, of course there must be a destination. '
'Dad, you are right. Then you should quickly look up some information to find out where the Great Western Continent we are going to explore is located. ’ Said looking at Dad again every day.
‘Okay, in the past two days, I will definitely be able to find the legend about where Daxizhou is. Although it is impossible for us to find some very detailed information. But we can always find some records about where Daxizhou is. Zhao Zhongyao looked at his daughter again and said.
‘Dad, if you say that, then you should hurry to find it! I won't bother you anymore, I'm going to watch TV. ’ After listening to Dad’s words every day, I don’t want to bother Dad anymore.
‘Okay, then watch TV with your brother! I went to find some information about Daxizhou. In this way, we have some useful
After obtaining the information, you can go to find this legendary Great Western Continent. Zhao Zhongyao said again.
After Zhao Zhongyao finished speaking, he went back to his study to find some information about Daxizhou. He knew that if he wanted to explore Great Western Continent, he had to first understand where this Great Western Continent was.
Because the story about this Great Western Continent has always been just a legend. This legend is actually mainly about the legend about Atlantis. But Atlantis is not equal to Atlantis.
Atlantis is just one country. It is not a continent. Although this Atlantis may be on the continent of Atlantis. But this Atlantis does not fully represent Atlantis.
At that time, there must have been many civilized countries in Great Western Continent. And Atlantis is just one of them.
Although Atlantis is very famous, we can't let Atlantis completely constrain our thinking and hands and feet. What we are looking for is the lost ancient continent of Daxizhou, not the highly developed ancient civilization of Atlantis.
Of course, if we are looking for Daxizhou, we cannot avoid this ancient civilization of Atlantis. From the ruins of the ancient civilization of Atlantis, we must be able to find some records about Daxizhou.
In this way, we can use these records to find the lost ancient civilization continent of Daxizhou.
