Nadvigayushtayasya crash
Soon the signs of an impending disaster hung over the Earth. Cracks began to appear that more and more deepened. The wise men of Lemuria predicted the coming cataclysm and identified safe places where people can get away, to escape, than took advantage of the Lemurian, sailed to Asia, Africa and some parts of America. They were the ones not because of fear, but because of the desire to preserve the achievements of its civilization settled in new places. Another part of the feeling that they stayed long enough in a physical body, decided to return to the small world when the cataclysm occurred.
Some of the inhabitants of Atlantis, warning of impending disaster, went to the Yucatan, Egypt, Libya, Spain and Portugal, where they founded a school to teach writing, mathematics, astronomy and agriculture. So, the Great Pyramid of Giza was built with the help of skilled mathematicians and builders who left Atlantis. Every size, aspect ratio, internal passages, the number of steps contain information about the structure and size of the Earth, the timing of the shift the earth's axis, the position in the solar system. "Direct" heirs of Atlantis in Europe - the Basques in Spain and the Pyrenees mountains in France and the people of the Caucasus Mountains.
When the disaster struck, the topography of the Earth has changed in the blink of an eye. Cities of Peru and Mexico, lying on the beach, shot up. Retaining only California - the former eastern coast of Lemuria. In Africa, the Nile River, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean, has changed direction and found an outlet to the Mediterranean Sea. Sahara - former seabed - it has turned into a desert.
What happened to Atlantis during this period? Part of the western territory plunged into the water, in other lowland areas appeared mountain ranges. As a result of changing the position of the equatorial climate deteriorated sharply Atlantis, which is likely to impact on the nature of the Atlanteans. Giant animals least suited to a sharp decline in temperature and reduce power, killed hundreds of thousands. Carried out excavations to the north of Mexico City found three prehistoric city, built one above the other, with a high for the ancient people cultures used iron oxide for casting ornaments of precious metals for 10, 000 years to the Bronze Age.
So great lemurskaya civilization perished. Her place was taken by the civilization of Atlantis, whose inhabitants were quite aggressive and began to conquer other nations. For this purpose, they used a giant crystal by rays which almost instantly destroyed entire cities. Intoxicated by power that they had, the Atlanteans began to use for the control of other nations. Their arrogance has reached the point that they decided to conquer China, located on the opposite side of the globe. When Atlanteans sent rays through the center of giant crystals of the Earth, there was a tremendous explosion of force, and the entire continent of Atlantis sank. Now this place is called the Sargasso Sea, and it is particularly dangerous during active radiation sank to the bottom of giant crystals, when the sun and moon are in a certain position. So no wonder this place is always called the "graveyard of the Atlantic", which covers the area from the Great Antilles in the north and then to Florida, up to Cape Hatteras across the Atlantic Ocean in the direction of the Iberian Peninsula and Africa, including the Bermuda Triangle, where once stood Giant Crystal, is now resting on the seabed.
Powerful explosion caused by giant crystals, not only to release the energy of enormous power, plunging into the water the whole continent, leaving only the Azores and the Bahamas, but caused such huge waves that washed the coast from other continents to hundreds of kilometers inland and caused incessant heavy rains during the many weeks.

Atlantis. Where are you?
Geographically, the continent of Atlantis stretched from the eastern shores of contemporary America, including coastal areas, where now the pants Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia, West Indian Islands, Brazil, and almost to the west coast of Africa. The first rulers were highly developed individuals who could communicate by sending thoughts at a distance, so at first they did not need a script. Unfortunately, such an ability as telepathy, people have lost nowadays. This vital energy is the transmission of thoughts helped create such amazing inventions that have failed to achieve any one subsequent population of the earth. It was subsequently established Atlantis aircraft, underwater vehicles and instruments that resemble modern lasers that eventually evolved into the most advanced Atlantis technically advanced civilization.
Externally Atlanta resembled modern American Indians, who believed to have originated from Atlantis: the nose is quite large, black-black hair, they were rubbed with beeswax mixed with rose oil, almost black eyes, clothing resembled a toga, white teeth, reddish skin tone. They eat soft food, raw vegetables, fruits, berries and meat roasted on an open fire, but the meat was used only on special holidays established by the King. The name of God is almost never spoken aloud, it could only portray symbolically as a combination of the sun and the crescent, and if it had to say the name, the lips rounded as for the pronunciation of the sound "O" (sun-figure) and then proceeds to (polumesyats- shape) - "m" sound, ie All words are pronounced as the sacred word "Om".
The warm climate did not require thermal insulation of housing, water supplied through pipes. At Atlantis we had close trade relations with Egypt and Spain. In the Golden Age of the Atlanteans lived several hundred years. After 23-25 years, the main difference in age was considered a level of wisdom, experience, clarity of thought in relation to each other. Children from an early age were taught higher mathematics. Teens interested in more inventions than philosophy and linguistics emerged later. Therefore, children and teenagers can make calculations in his mind with the speed of modern computers. All collected information is stored in special cylinders. Some of these cylinders still kept close to the Great Pyramids of Gizah and part in ukatanomu.
Atlanta decide when to leave their physical form, ie, die physically. They concentrated their will and attention, so clearly imagine another world measure that passed it with full consciousness and full right to take this step.Machine translation -
Incredible, but true: a myth or a legend of Atlantis?
The myth of Atlantis interested many scientists since ancient times. In contrast to the widely accepted today the opinion that it is just a legend, the ancient Greek philosopher Plato believed in the actual existence of the Atlantean civilization velikorazvitoy.
According to him, the mysterious continent sank to the ocean floor about 11 500 years ago. That is the conclusion he came about 355 g BC. That's what kind of story he heard Plato: "Nine thousand years ago for the strait which you call the pillars of Heracles (now the Strait of Gibraltar), was a huge island, which was called Atlantis. On this island there was a strong dynasty of kings. This dynasty tried to enslave many countries. However, several strong earthquakes split the island, he fell into the water and disappeared completely. Therefore, the sea in this place is inconvenient to navigate because of the slime in the upper layer of water - the remnants of the sunken island. The island was fairly large, rich in minerals and all the animals, including elephants. In the south, there was a vast plain of approximately 370 km to 550 km, and between the sea and the plain was located metropolis, the city-state of Atlantis, the center of which stood the royal palace with cold and hot baths, tombs, the Temple of Poseidon with golden statues of the god, "standing in the chariot drawn by six winged horses. " The town was surrounded by rows of walls that protect residents. Every 5-6 years the ten kings of Atlantis were going to the temple of Poseidon on the Council or the sentencing criminals.
For many generations, the people of Atlantis remained the same high moral standards as their Athenian contemporaries. But over time they became too ambitious and greedy, and then Zeus decided to punish them ... "Of course, for many readers, this story does not sound very convincing. But modern science has proven with all certainty that our Earth more than once underwent changes its surface. After another cataclysm of the Earth, about 50 000 years ago, in what is now Peru, is to continue in the direction of the Pacific Ocean, up to the islands of Hawaii, Tahiti, Polynesia existed mainland, called Lemuria. At about the same time on the other side of the Earth was a different continent - Atlantis.Machine translation -
