Chapter 1670 Came to Crete

This kind of thinking is like we all believe what some experts say now. We ordinary people feel superior to experts. What the experts say must be the truth.

This is why we moderns believe too much in some experts. In fact, experts are also ordinary people. Although they know more than ordinary people. But that doesn't mean that what they say is the truth.

We can trust some of what the experts say. Some don't believe it either. For everything, we should hold our own thoughts of pursuing the truth. We can trust the words of the experts, but we cannot fully trust them.

Of course we should respect sages and saints like Plato. But that doesn't mean that what he said is the truth. He said that the Atlantis civilization was near the Strait of Gibraltar, so this prehistoric civilization must be near the Strait of Gibraltar.

Zhao Zhongyao has always been a scientist who loves to pursue the truth. He never fully believed anything the ancients said. Nor believe anything modern experts say. He has always liked to find the truth by himself.

In fact, for people who do scientific research, what interests them the most is the mysteries of nature. It is because they are attracted by the mysteries of nature that they continue to search for the truth.

What is truth, to put it bluntly, is the truth of things. What scientists do is to find the truth of things. And what philosophers do is to find the truth of things. But there is also a difference between scientists and philosophers when they seek the truth of things.

Scientists are looking for the specific truth of things, that is to say, the research direction of scientists is very single. Especially some scientists who are also called experts. The topics they study may all be very single topics.

For such experts, what they said. It can only be more reliable in a certain field of their research. They may also be ignorant, or half-knowledgeable, about things that are not in their field of study.

Of course, we can't believe everything that the ancient sages said. Especially these ancient philosophers and thinkers. They are not scientists. What they have said is often viewed from a philosophical perspective.

The difference between philosophy and science is that they stand from different perspectives. Philosophy stands at a very high place, and what you see may be the situation of the whole nature. However, science does not stand at a very high level, and what it sees is only the situation in a certain place in nature.

For ancient sages like Plato, we must believe that they are ancient thinkers, but we cannot compare them with modern scientists.

The ancient sages, at that time, were able to have advanced ideas. It is because philosophy is something that can transcend time, space and regions. Whether it is ancient or modern, as long as you want to know about nature, you must understand some thoughts about philosophy.

Philosophy is a science created by ancient sages to explain nature. Because at that time, people's technological level was very backward. There are simply no scientific explanations for many phenomena in nature.

However, if these natural phenomena are explained from a theological point of view, it is obviously not practical, and many learned people cannot believe it. But for ordinary people in ancient times, due to lack of education, they did not learn cultural knowledge. Their understanding of nature can only be based on believing what some theologians say. What these theologians say is, of course, a myth.

Of course Zhao Zhongyao would not fully believe what the ancient sages said. Just like Plato said in "Dialogues" that Atlantis may be in the Strait of Gibraltar. We just believe that there is such a possibility, but we cannot fully believe the description in the "Dialogue".

Now Zhao Zhongyao and the others have been to the Strait of Gibraltar and the southern waters of Cyprus, and they have not found any valuable clues.

Since no valuable clues were found in these two places, the place they are going to next is of course the island of Crete.

Qu Yuqian has long heard that Crete is a beautiful tourist destination. She heard from Zhao Zhongyao that their next stop was going to Crete, so she looked at her daughter in disbelief and said,'Tian Tian, ​​our next stop is Crete. I heard that it is a very beautiful tourist destination. '

After listening to my mother's words every day, I also smiled and asked, 'Mom, can we go to this island of Crete first? '

After hearing her daughter's words, Qu Yuqian glanced at Zhao Zhongyao and said, "Then you have to ask your father if he is willing to take us to this tourist holy place for sightseeing." '

After hearing what my mother said every day, I looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, 'Dad, can we go to Crete for a while first? '

After hearing what his daughter said, Zhao Zhongyao smiled and said, 'Of course we can go for a play. '

I listened to it every day, and I was very happy. But she still looked at Zhao Zhongyao puzzled and asked, 'Dad, aren't we here to travel and explore? Why don't you go looking for Atlantis and travel to Crete. '

After hearing what his daughter said, Zhao Zhongyao said again, 'Of course we are going to find Atlantis. It's just that before we look for Atlantis, shouldn't we first understand some legends about this Atlantis civilization.

I believe that on Crete, we can see or hear something about the Atlantean civilization. In this way, we learned some

After the legend of this aspect, it will be easier to find the remains of the Atlantis civilization. '

‘Okay, then let’s go to Crete immediately! ’ After hearing what my father said every day, he said happily again.

Feifei didn't speak just now. After listening to the conversation between his father and his sister, he also looked at Zhao Zhongyao happily and said,'Dad, do you know this Crete island very well? Can you tell us a bit about this island of Crete first. '

After hearing what his son said, Zhao Zhongyao said, ‘Okay, then let me tell you about this island of Crete first. '

After finishing speaking, Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei again and said, "Crete is located in the middle of the eastern Mediterranean Sea. It is the largest island in Greece, with a total area of ​​about 8336 square kilometers and a population of about 601,000." Administratively it belongs to the Crete region. Crete, the southernmost crown of the Aegean Sea, is a holiday destination of incredible beauty.

Located at the southern tip of the Mediterranean Sea, Crete is the largest island in the Aegean Sea. It is only 300 kilometers away from the African continent. The island is about 260 kilometers long from east to west, 60 kilometers wide from north to south, and only 12 kilometers wide at its narrowest, with an area of ​​8,236 square kilometers. Crete is an island with rugged mountains as its main body.

The Cretan Mountains, which constitute the east-west axis of the island, are divided into four mountain groups; the main peak, Yiji Peak, is 2,456 meters above sea level and is the highest point on the island. The gradually sloping northern coast has several natural harbors and a coastal plain. Major cities and ports such as Chania, Heraklion, Rethymnon, etc. are located in this area.

The Mesala Plain stretches for about 29 kilometers along the central part of the southern part of the island, and is the widest flat land on the island. The climate of the island: The flat land is also very warm in winter. There are 4 mountain ranges connected to the island, and the top of the mountain with a height of more than 2,000 meters will be covered with snow in October.

Crete is the ancient cultural center of Greece and a famous tourist destination in the Mediterranean. There are mountains and deep valleys on the island, the scenery is beautiful and rich, and there are coasts composed of cliffs, rocky headlands and sandy beaches. The Mediterranean climate here is sunny and sunny, and the plants are evergreen. Olives, grapes, citrus, etc. are planted on the island, and flowers are blooming everywhere.

The island is surrounded by thousands of hectares of blue waves, so it is called "Sea Garden". Crete is the fifth largest island in the entire Mediterranean, 260 kilometers long from east to west and 50 kilometers from north to south. There are three mountains on the island that are over 2000 meters high. In addition to King Minos building a labyrinth to imprison bull monsters on the island, the Minoan civilization on Crete opened up the chaos of Western civilization. The baptism of Turkish civilization, the Minoan civilization on Crete is still its most memorable page, and even the later powerful civilizations are based on it and integrate its spirit.

Heraklion is the capital and main port of Crete. It is the city with the fastest pace of life on Crete, and it is also the center of transportation and the place where information is developed. Due to its location in the center of the island and its rich museum collections, Heraklion is an excellent base for exploring Crete.

Crete is located in the Mediterranean Sea 130 kilometers south of mainland Greece. It is the largest island in Greece and an ancient cultural center. Surrounded by blue waves, the island is mountainous, with evergreen plants, melons and fruits everywhere, and flowers in full bloom. Known as the "Garden on the Sea", the beautiful Crete is a famous tourist destination in the Mediterranean region and the birthplace of ancient Aegean culture.

At the beginning of the 20th century, a royal palace built at that time was unearthed in Heraklion on the coastal plain in the north of the island. There is a rectangular courtyard in the center, and the king's palace and queen's bedroom are distributed around the courtyard. The buildings are connected by corridors, foyers, double paths, and stairs. There are thousands of doors and hundreds of households, just like the maze in ancient Greek mythology.

Crete is one of the birthplaces of Mediterranean civilization. The remains of Neolithic culture from 10,000 BC to 3300 BC have been excavated here. According to legend, from about 2600 BC to 1125 BC, the famous Minoan culture emerged on the island, with unprecedented prosperity in art, architecture and engineering technology, and a unified Minoan dynasty was established.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the ruins of the "Knossos Palace" were unearthed in the northern part of the island. The scale is grand, indistinctly consistent with the legendary labyrinth, and it represents the cultural achievements of Crete. It is built on the mountain, with a rectangular courtyard in the center, surrounded by the king's palace, the queen's bedroom, the double ax palace with religious significance, storage rooms, warehouses, etc. There are promenades, halls, compound roads, and stairs between the buildings. Connected with each other, there are thousands of households and twists and turns. Known as the "maze".

There are magnificent and colorful murals painted in various palaces and corridors, especially "The King Wearing Lilies" is the most famous. There is a theater in the northwest corner of the palace, and there are ruins of royal villas and mausoleums nearby. There are numerous other monuments on Crete that add to the island's immense charm. '

After Zhao Zhongyao talked about these things about the Cretan civilization, he looked at Feifei and said, "What kind of place do you think Crete is, and is it a place with very specific tourist value?" '

Before Feifei said anything, Tiantian rushed to say, "Dad, such a place is of course very valuable for tourism, let's go to Crete to see it!" '

It's just that Feifei doesn't seem to have much interest in traveling. After hearing what his father said, he said, 'Dad, I feel that the most valuable thing on Crete is not a tourist resource. It should be the prehistoric ruins on this island. We should look for evidence of the existence of Atlantis civilization from these prehistoric remains. '

After all, Feifei is a boy, and he doesn't have much interest in traveling. He is still more interested in Atlantis civilization. I want to figure out the truth of this Atlantis civilization.

After hearing Feifei's words every day, he looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said, 'Dad, then we

If you travel to Crete, you can find clues about the existence of Atlantis civilization. Maybe, we traveled around and solved the truth about the existence of this Atlantis civilization! '

After hearing what his sister said, Feifei smiled and said, 'Sister, if you want to travel, just say travel. Don't say that traveling around will solve the truth of the existence of Atlantis civilization. It's that easy. If it were so easy, those who lived on Crete, and those who had been to Crete, would not have learned the truth about the Atlantean civilization long ago. '

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao also looked at Tiantian and said, "Your brother is right, things are so easy. If it were so easy, we wouldn't need to drive a flying saucer here to find the truth." . '

‘Dad, no matter what, since we have come to this island of Crete, shouldn’t we travel and relax first? ’ Said looking at Dad again every day.

Qu Yuqian didn't say anything just now, but now she also looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, "Zhongyao, let's go to the island to play first!" Now that you are here, of course you should relax first. '

After hearing what his wife and daughter said, Zhao Zhongyao smiled and said, 'Of course we have to travel first. How to find Atlantis without traveling. Only by traveling first can we find some clues about the prehistoric civilization of Atlantis. '
