Last night, I decided to rewatch the cartoon movie version of Atlantis. While watching, I suddenly remember my book about the "existence" of Atlantis. So after watching, I decided to scan the book and look for the map. You know I'm a fan of mysteries, right? I'm interested in this magical city since I was a child. I watched a lot of documentaries about finding Atlantis and tonight, guess what? I found a video on YouTube posted 6 years ago (wow, I hope I'm not that late sharing this to you) about the "Orichalcum," a piece of metal in Atlantis found on a 2,600 years old shipwreck. Wear your glasses, dearies, as I share with you the story of the lost metal of Atlantis.
Conceivably one of the incredible secrets of our human progress is the vanishing of Atlantis around 11,000 years prior. Greek logician Plato referenced the presence of Atlantis in a portion of his works, and today stays one of the "Lost Cities" generally wanted ever.
A few stories and speculations recommend that Atlantis was progress that had trend-setting innovation significantly in any event, for our time. Some believe that the Atlanteans didn't vanish under the ocean; however, they figured out how to go to different planets through their spaceships. Others believe that the force and heresy in the Atlantean human advancement caused an extraordinary atomic conflict that totally changed the whole topography of the Land.
Speculations about its vanishing to the side, nobody knows the specific area of Atlantis. However, Plato portrayed its site before "The Pillars of Hercules" concerning the "Rock of Gibraltar" and North Africa. Some numerous undertakings and examinations have attempted to find the open area. Yet, nobody has had the option to demonstrate its reality.
However, It was said that Atlantis could no longer be a legend. According to marine archeologists, they have recovered 39 ingots of "(Orichalcum)" from a boat sunk somewhere in the range of 2,600 years back 1,000 meters off the bank of Gela, south of Sicily. As per the old Greeks, "Orichalcum was a metal that must be found in one spot: the lost city of Atlantis."
Professor Sebastiano Tusa, an archeologist from the Superintendent of the Sea workplace in Sicily, asserted that the ingots they found in the sunken ship; were probably the legendary red metal "Orichalcum." Specialists believe that the nuggets of Atlantis were being shipped from Gela, south of Sicily, to Greece or Asia Minor. The boat conveying the metal was likely trapped in a significant disruption; furthermore, it sank likely as it would enter the Sicilian port.
Orichalcum, the metal of Atlantis, has an old-fashioned and strange history. For centuries, experts have discussed the structure and birthplace of metal. As indicated by ancient Greek messages, the Orichalcum was concocted by Cadmus, a character from Greek folklore.
Most specialists concur that Orichalcum is a copper combination made via carburizing. This interaction is when zinc mineral, carbon, and copper metal are joined in a cauldron. At the point when investigated with X-beam fluorescence, the 39 Atlantis ingots ended up being a compound made with 75-80 percent copper, 14-20 percent zinc, and lower rates of nickel, lead, and iron.
All in all, are the Orichalcum ingots verification of the presence of Atlantis? Although this revelation demonstrates the existence of the legendary city of Atlantis for some individuals. Enrico Mattievich, professor, essayist, and previous physicist at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro said that the nuggets are made of metal. Simultaneously, the genuine Orichalcum is made of copper, gold, and silver and was completed in Peru.
Briefly, in just two of Plato's works, Critias and Timaeus, numerous individuals emphatically put stock in the presence of Atlantis. As I said, the Atlanteans were viewed as an exceptionally progressed society that resisted the "Greek divine beings" and subsequently banished to the lower part of the sea because of rising ocean levels. Since the time Atlantis was referenced without precedent for ancient Greece, man has attempted to determine its area. Looking everywhere from the Mediterranean Sea to the polar ice covers toward the South Pacific.
In any case, so far, Atlantis has stayed covered up, with no proof that it at any point existed. Are the Orichalcum ingots found close to Sicily the definitive evidence for the presence of Atlantis? If not, for what reason was a metal so infrequently utilized in the old-fashioned world so lovely? Possibly one day, we will know the appropriate responses. In any case, while archeologists have found Orichalcum, the quest for Atlantis will proceed.
