Swapping shirts with Plato: Kicking the Atlantis Football Around - A sketch of the lost city of Atlantis CMYK

in academic circles is the dreaded "A" word (Atlantis) warrants serious consideration in decent deter a book title. In contrast, popular publishers love it as inclusion in a book title is a powerful selling point. Recently there has been an outpouring of books been argued that the lost Atlantis was here in Indonesia.

Atlantis was mentioned for the first time in two works of Plato, Timaeus and Critias. Many academics believe that Plato's Atlantis is an allegorical myth warning against the hubris of nations. However taken literally, says Plato because of a huge continent and island-based civilization called Atlantis, which was destroyed by a disaster to 9500 BC. It is fairly common geographical and zoological information and very specific topographical descriptions of the great port city that Atlantis' was the capital.

From a mythological perspective George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff, a spiritual leader of the mid-20th century, in his allegorical work Any and all , shows that there were scattered survivors of Atlantis, in of which some foregathered what is now Egypt, which form an esoteric society that built the Sphinx and. the basis of the applied Giza pyramids for completion over millennia This is consistent with the current empirical research conducted by Robert Bauval, Graham Hancock and John Anthony West on the Giza site.

Thousands of books have been published about the location of Atlantis, and it seems easier, a country to find that is not proposed as a candidate to be the opposite. New claims have shown Antarctic, Crete, southern Spain, western Africa, and even Liverpool. Yes, and Indonesia ...

The 'Indonesian theories focus on' Sundaland ', (not with West Java, or the football team who are confused recently escaped relegation from the Premier League) , During the last ice age Southeast Asia was one huge continent where the name Sundaland was given. Flooding gave shape to today's coast of Sumatra, Java and Kalimantan, separated now through the shallow Java Sea.

The first book in the current "Atlantis in Indonesia" series was Eden in the East (1999), by Stephen Oppenheimer, an Oxford professor with a career as a clinical doctor, Malaysia and Papua New Guinea. To his credit, he avoids the use of the 'A' word. Referring to the drowned Sundaland and the impact of their disasters and thus migrations, he covers geology, archeology, genetics, linguistics, with a long section on mythology, tried to show that a large part of the mythology of the Middle East and Europe from the fertilized was. Area, which he described as a lost Eden describes

in 05 was the appearance of Atlantis: The Lost Continent Finally Found , by the late Professor Arysio Nunes dos Santos, a Brazilian nuclear physicist as his football hero compatriot Neymar brought some feistiness in our Atlantis Arena. Dos Santos designed Atlantis as vast continent for the current Africa, the Indian Ocean and Southeast Asia. He produced a checklist of 32 criteria Plato description of Atlantis fit with functions and conditions prevailing in Indonesia and the expansion of the drowned Sundaland, and concluded that this was the most likely candidate for the position of the lost Atlantis.

, the "Atlantis in Indonesia Movement was a big push by the quiet sensational discovery circa 2012 Gunung Padang in West Java appear to be a step pyramid hides given that back to and possibly beyond the last Ice Age comes.

Danny Hilman Natawidjaja, the no-nonsense geologist and Caltech alumnus, who leads the research team at Gunung Padang with the strong support of both former and current president of Indonesia, came on the field ( sure) published as a striker, with a book in the past year, including proper information on topics such as geo-tectonics and tsunami generation But Pak Danny could not resist it right Plato Tidak Bohong. Atlantis Ada di Indonesia (Plato is not lying, Atlantis is in Indonesia) at this stage might feel you have the Monty Python soccer match check between the Greek and German philosophers. -. Plato is in goal for Greece

The newest player is fit to take the field Dhani Irawan, a hydrologist, certainly a midfielder, whose book Atlantis: The Lost City is in Java Sea , in April was published in 2015. His theories have, to some degree, on which build of De Santos, but he also produced some interesting initial results. Based on its own expertise, he draws attention to praising the remarkable east-west cross-channel system ( anjiran ), which connects the north-south flowing rivers in Central Kalimantan. As I understand it, Dhani explores the capital of Atlantis on Bawean Iceland, on from the drowned land between Kalimantan and Java sticks.

Irawan also uses Dos Santos '32 -ball checklist correspondences between Plato's Atlantis and Sundaland / Indonesia, and here I think they are on shaky ground. The first criterion is mentioned that Atlantis was in the Atlantic. Dos Santos and Irawan around this by stating that the "Atlantic" was the name of the world's oceans that surround the Greeks, the three known continents, so that the Atlantic was also the Pacific. Then there are the pillars of Hercules, was behind the Atlantis. For Dos Santos, are these Gunung Agung on Bali and Gunung Rinjani on Lombok, and Irawan these are the symmetric " tugu " goals that we all know from Java and Bali. But Plato knew his Mediterranean. For him, the Pillars of Hercules is certainly could not be otherwise, as Gibraltar and Ceuta, where the Mediterranean reaches of the Atlantic Ocean.

Some of the local 'Atlanteans' can not resist, on their websites, blogs, videos or slides of B-movies on Atlantis also. These are by Colin Wilson as parodied "the usual scenario with Greek temples, white-bearded priest and beautiful blondes toga like linen wearing bathrobes." Some of my former students find it hard to believe, but I'm not old enough to have played football against Plato, although I sometimes grave stones scour the ocean floor YouTube to hear Atlantis of the shadows and from Donovan of the cool, Ice Age 1960s.

[So

, what I propose to former and future researchers, make 'Atlantis' football come into contact, and focus on the authentic miracle of Gunung Padang; other potential step pyramids; the celestial alignments of Borobudur Prambanan complex; irrigation wonder in Central Kalimantan; etc., etc. Have we ',' disappear on the steps to Gunung Padang with pieces of "Atlantis Rock 'to is the remarkable basalt columns really waylaying hawkers want? After all, Britain does everything in order from Stonehenge without a Atlantis connection to cook with

Granted, but ancient cultures and heritage tourism is a growth industry, with so many positive benefits for Indonesia if properly managed -. as President President Jokowi be realized safely SBY and when she had a vision based on solid empirical scientific evidence led to support the activities of the research team of Danny Natawidjaja at Gunung Padang. Indonesia can down there in the football world rankings, but it's certainly in the top five for its wealth of cultural heritage. So let's all try and share the wonders of this amazing country and to preserve and promote its remarkable authentic miracle, in a way that avoids too much sensational focus dressed to the makeshift toga sirens of Hollywood Atlantis.
