Chapter 1671 Traveling in Crete
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. '
After hearing this, Tian Tian happily said, 'Well, let's go to Crete to have a look. '
In fact, Feifei also wants to visit Crete, after all, he also likes to travel outside. Of course, he is a boy after all, and he is also very curious about unknown things. Not only does he want Lin to travel outside, but he also wants to learn about many unknown things.
In this way, Zhao Zhongyao flew to Crete with Feifei, Tiantian and Qu Yuqian. On this small island, they played all day.
Crete is densely forested, and the eastern plain is suitable for farming. Agriculture is mainly based on the cultivation of grains, olives, and grapes. Apart from grain, olive oil and wine are also produced in large quantities. The royal palaces have special storage rooms to store oil and wine. , Often the warehouses are connected in rows, and there are thousands of urns, which shows the importance of oil and wine in agricultural production and daily life.
Crete's main achievements in economic development include industry, commerce and maritime trade. Its handmade products are famous for their exquisite beauty, and the daily necessities and handicrafts made of copper, gold and silver are quite exquisite. The pottery is particularly outstanding. A kind of painted pottery called Camares produced in the ancient palace period is exquisite and lovely, with elegant painting. It is recognized as the most exquisite painted pottery in the ancient world. Its shipbuilding industry is also very developed, and merchant ships travel to and from the Mediterranean.
The cities and royal palaces of Crete do not have thick walls and high fortifications, which is completely different from the emphasis on city defense buildings in other ancient civilizations. Crete traded widely with various parts of the Mediterranean with its agricultural and industrial products, and had a particularly close relationship with Egypt. From the very beginning, Crete used the royal palace as its political center, and its royal power was relatively strong. This is the biggest difference between Crete and the city-state system that would later pursue republican politics in Crete. Later, the Minoan dynasty of Knossos ruled not only Crete, but also the Cyclades Islands and many colonies in the Aegean Sea and Asia Minor. Nepal, Athens and Thebes and some places in Italy.
In addition, the relationship between Crete and Egypt is also closer, and friendly relations may have been established, and business exchanges have become more frequent. The development of overseas commerce and the strength of the navy enabled the Minoan Dynasty to establish maritime hegemony, which was passed down as a good talk by the Greeks in the future. The royal palace is the greatest creation of the Minoan civilization. It is not only the political, religious and cultural center of the Minoan dynasty, but also the economic center, because there are many warehouses, workshops, offices for storing economic files and offices for collecting taxes in the palace. organ.
The last palace completed in the new palace period is a group of multi-storey buildings around the central courtyard, covering an area of 22,000 square meters. The total number of halls and rooms in the palace is more than 1,500. There are many, the layout does not seek symmetry, and it is so ingenious that it is difficult for outsiders to find out what it is. Therefore, it is called "maze" in ancient Greek myths and legends.
Zhao Zhongyao took his wife and children to visit the island of Crete for a whole day, and conducted a tourist inspection of various scenic spots on the island. I also have a general understanding of the tourism culture on the entire island.
It's just that they didn't find any clues about the civilization of Atlantis. After all, the entire tourist attraction on Crete is only themed on ancient Greek civilization. There is no tourist attraction about the Atlantis civilization.
Zhao Zhongyao also asked some tourists what their purpose of visiting this island was. They also just said that the scenery on this island is very beautiful. They come to travel just to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
None of these tourists came to this island to travel in search of the Atlantean civilization. Only Zhao Zhongyao and his family's purpose of traveling here is different from others. It's just that, in the eyes of others, their family's tourism here is no different from other people's, but it's just for tourism.
Zhao Zhongyao not only asked some tourists, but also some local residents. Ask them if they know anything about the civilization of Atlantis. Some of them said they had heard of it. However, they believe that the Atlantis civilization should be near the Strait of Gibraltar, not in Crete.
This may be because everyone thinks that the Atlantis civilization should be in the Strait of Gibraltar instead of Crete. Because of this, people in this place think that the Atlantean civilization is not in their island of Crete.
Zhao Zhongyao not only asked some local residents, but also found the management personnel of Crete. He wanted to know more about this.
Among these managers, there is an official named Bell. He is the top administrator of the entire island of Crete.
The whole island of Crete belongs to the territory of Greece. In Greece, the entire island of Crete belongs to a large region, called the Crete region. Bell is the top manager of the entire island of Crete.
Zhao Zhongyao has now come to the government office building in the center of Crete. He inquired about Bell's office and went directly to Bell.
At first, Bell didn't know who Zhao Zhongyao was, nor did he know what Zhao Zhongyao had come to them.
It's just that after Zhao Zhongyao explained his intention of coming, he shook hands with Zhao Zhongyao very happily and said hello. Because Zhao Zhongyao is now not only very famous in China, but also has a certain reputation in other countries in the world.
Although Zhao Zhongyao's name cannot reach the level of being a household name in the world. But there are some intellectuals in the world and some officials. I have heard of Zhao Zhong
remote. After all, what Zhao Zhongyao did before to land on the moon has already made his name famous all over the world together with Huaguo's moon landing plan.
When this Bell heard that standing in front of him was the famous Zhao Zhongyao, he was also very surprised. After all, he is also a man who likes science. It is known to some well-known scientists in the world.
Especially Zhao Zhongyao, the most famous scientist in the world. Bell has long wanted to meet a legendary and magical figure like Zhao Zhongyao in person.
It's just that Bell is just an ordinary official, and he has no chance to go to Huaguo to meet Zhao Zhongyao. However, Bell still thought that if he had the opportunity one day, he would definitely go to Huaguo to meet a great scientist like Zhao Zhongyao.
However, Bell still thought about his dream of seeing Zhao Zhongyao. It may take many years to realize it. He also wanted to wait until he retired. Then he can go to Huaguo to meet Zhao Zhongyao. Because he will reach retirement age in a few years, and he can retire and go home.
What he didn't expect was that he met Zhao Zhongyao so soon. Why not let him be very surprised!
Zhao Zhongyao is not only a scientist, he can also speak English. Also very proficient in English. When he goes to any country in the world, he can communicate with them in English.
Now that Zhao Zhongyao came to Bell's office, he communicated with Bell in English. Zhao Zhongyao just wanted to know something about the civilization of Atlantis. He also explained his intention to Bell.
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Bell knew why Zhao Zhongyao came to their island of Crete.
So, Zhao Zhongyao looked at Bell now and asked, 'Mr. Bell, I have nothing else to come to you. I just want to know something about the civilization of Atlantis. I don’t know how much you know about it. '
After hearing Zhao Zhongyao's words, Bell smiled and said, 'I also learned about this Atlantis civilization from some materials. I only know that this civilization is a very famous ancient civilization. Moreover, this civilization is near the Strait of Gibraltar in the Mediterranean Sea. As for other things, I don't know much. '
After hearing Bell's words, Zhao Zhongyao looked at him again and said, "Mr. Bell, the Atlantean civilization I want to talk about may not be near the Strait of Gibraltar, but should be on your island of Crete." nearby. '
Bell's eyes widened in surprise after hearing Zhao Zhongyao's words. After all, he has always known that the Atlantean civilization is in the Strait of Gibraltar. Because what he learned from some materials was like this. Anyone who knows some Atlantis civilization relics will know that this Atlantis civilization relic is in the waters near the Strait of Gibraltar. Nobody thought the Atlantean civilization would be anywhere near Crete.
'Mr. Zhao, what are you talking about. How could the Atlantis civilization not be in the waters near the Strait of Gibraltar. How could it be in our island of Crete. Bell looked at Zhao Zhongyao in surprise and asked.
'this one! Just a guess on my part right now. But whether this is actually the case, I need to investigate further. Zhao Zhongyao looked at Bell and said.
After hearing what Zhao Zhongyao said, Bell knew what was going on. He looked at Zhao Zhongyao and smiled, 'Oh, so you are just a guess! If you say that, I can tell you directly that your speculation may be wrong. '
After hearing Bell's words, Zhao Zhongyao smiled and said,'haha, Mr. Bell, why are you so sure! If my guess is correct! '
‘Impossible, I am also very interested in this Atlantean civilization, and I have also checked a lot of information in this regard. There is only very little information that the Atlantean civilization was in the waters near Crete. Most of the information says that the Atlantis civilization is in the waters near the Strait of Gibraltar. You say I can believe what you say! Bell looked at Zhao Zhongyao puzzled again and said.
After hearing what Bell said, Zhao Zhongyao looked at him and smiled, 'Mr. Bell, what do you mean. Could it be that you don't want the ruins of Atlantis civilization to be in your island of Crete! Don't you feel that if the ruins of Atlantis civilization are near your island of Crete, it will definitely increase the popularity of your island of Crete and will definitely attract more tourists to Crete. '
When Zhao Zhongyao said this, Bell smiled embarrassedly and said, 'Of course, Mr. Zhao is very reasonable. It's just that it's not wishful thinking. I also want this Atlantis civilization to be in the waters near our island of Crete. But what's the use of talking. This requires objective evidence. '
After hearing Bell's words, Zhao Zhongyao looked at him and said,'You are right, you need objective evidence. And now I am here to find this objective evidence for you. I can help you find evidence that the ruins of Atlantis civilization are in your island of Crete. '
After hearing Zhao Zhongyao's words, Bell still said in disbelief, 'Mr. Zhao, why are you so sure! Could it be that you have already found the ruins of the Atlantis civilization? '
'No, if I find it, I won't come to you. Zhao Zhongyao looked at Bell and said.
‘Since there is no such thing, how can you be so sure that the civilization of Atlantis is in our island of Crete! Bell looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and asked.
After hearing what Bell said, Zhao Zhongyao looked at him again and said, 'Then I want to ask you, where do you think the ruins of Atlantis civilization will be. '
After hearing Zhao Zhongyao's words, Bell thought for a while and said, 'I still feel that the ruins of Atlantis civilization are located in the sea near the Strait of Gibraltar.
area. '
'Why are you so sure! What evidence do you have to be so sure that the ruins of the Atlantis civilization are in the waters near the Strait of Gibraltar. 'Zhao Zhongyao looked at Bell puzzled and asked.
'Because we believe what Plato recorded in his book, the Dialogues. Plato is one of the greatest sages of our ancient Greece. The incident he recorded in "Dialogue Records" should be very reliable. Bell looked at Zhao Zhongyao again and said.
Now it seems that Bell really believes in Plato. Because Plato is a famous thinker in ancient Greece. The things he recorded in his own writings have become the most powerful evidence of the location of Atlantis civilization.
After hearing what Bell said, Zhao Zhongyao smiled again and said, Plato is your great thinker in ancient Greece, no one can deny this. But we cannot believe the first sentence he said just because he is a great thinker. And every word written in his books.
Because the era in which Plato lived was far from the era of Atlantis civilization. One is just a person from more than 3,000 years ago, and the other is indeed a prehistoric civilization from 10,000 years ago. Since the time difference between the two is thousands of years, the understanding of Atlantis civilization in Plato's era is not much different from our modern understanding of Atlantis civilization in an objective degree.
