Orasele antice de sub Marea Neagra
» Arheologii spun ca situl scufundat in mare, langa
Mangalia, a fost intemeiat de grecii dorieni in secolul al VI-lea
inainte de Hristos. Cercetarile din ultimii 50 de ani au evidentiat ca
fortareata are dimensiuni impresionante – aproape doua mile in largul
marii si tot doua mile de-a lungul tarmului actual.
O cetate antica s-ar afla in acest moment pe fundul Marii Negre, scufundata in dreptul orasului Mangalia. De acest lucru sunt convinsi mai multi arheologi si scafandri romani si straini care incearca acum sa obtina o finantare europeana pentru a continua cercetarile si a scoate la lumina orasul de sub mare.
Este vorba despre cetatea Callatis, intemeiata de grecii dorieni in secolul al VI-lea inainte de Hristos. Toata aceasta constructie s-a scufundat in timpuri imemoriale, cea mai plauzibila explicatie a oamenilor de stiinta fiind cutremurele, din cauza carora au avut loc rupturi succesive ale malurilor.
Asa s-au dus la fund zidurile, dar si alte amenajari din incinta cetatii – de la strazi pana la diverse edificii cu caracter civil sau militar. Conform cercetarilor din ultimii 50 de ani, fortareata antica si portul aferent se intind pana la aproape doua mile in largul marii.
De-a lungul uscatului, cetatea atinge tot doua mile marine.
De remarcat ca toate constructiile antice incep de la cativa metri de malul actual al marii. Desi presa a mai relatat despre aceste descoperiri, pana acum autoritatile nu au facut nimic pentru scoaterea la lumina a vestigiilor de langa Mangalia. Ultima speranta a cercetatorilor a ramas obtinerea unei finantari europene.
Strada antica
Suntem pe faleza Mangaliei, in dreptul statiei meteorologice. Din zona aceasta incep zidurile cetatii antice Callatis. E partea doriana a constructiei, cea mai veche.
“Cum intri in mare, la cativa metri distanta, dai de ruine”, ne spune arheologul Liliana Vioiu, de la muzeul local. Mai departe, in dreapta noastra, vedem actualul port Mangalia. Acolo se afla, tot scufundate, alte ziduri ale cetatii, ceva mai “moderne”, din perioada romanilor. Strabatem repede strazile pustii, de noiembrie, ale orasului, ajungand la un hotel de patru stele, in apropiere de portul turistic.
Intram in cladire si coboram spre subsol.
Aici avem ocazia sa mergem pe o strada antica. La extinderea hotelului, cu vreo zece ani in urma, s-au facut sapaturi in urma carora au fost descoperite vestigii de o valoare inestimabila. Cladirea cea noua pastreaza astfel in pantecele sale o farama de istorie.
Calcam pe pietrele atent slefuite ale unei strazi antice, lata de cativa metri. Pe marginea caii de acces se intinde sistemul de canalizare. Toate au fost facute de romani. “Daca cercetarile ar continua, s-ar vedea ca strada aceasta se intinde spre vechea cetate, care acum e sub apa”, ne explica arheologul Liliana Vioiu.
“Coltii” uriasi ai Mangaliei
Exista descrieri din diverse epoci ale zidurilor scufundate in mare, dupa cum ne povesteste Sorin Colesniuc, directorul Muzeului de Arheologie din Mangalia. Calatorul burgund Walerand de Wawrin noteaza, in 1445, ca ajungand in portul “Panguala” – una dintre diversele denumiri de peste timp ale Mangaliei – a vazut ziduri de mari dimensiuni care ies din mare, in largul portului cel nou de la vremea aceea.
Din aceeasi sursa se stie ca multe corabii s-au scufundat dupa ce s-au lovit de acei “colti” uriasi. Peisajul lugubru l-a impresionat, in 1652, si pe negustorul turc Evlia Celebi, referindu-se la orasul “Mankalia”, iar un fracez – Xavier Hommaire de Hell – vorbeste in 1928 despre “ziduri vechi iesind din rapa argiloasa unde e asezat orasul, ceea ce arata ca marea a invadat toata aceasta parte a litoralului”. O harta a Mangaliei, din 1924, prezinta zidul de nord al cetatii antice, o constructie care se prelungeste in largul Marii Negre. Harta este rodul studiilor incepute in 1901 de Pamfil Polonic.
Scafandrii militari au studiat Callatisul
Cercetari de anvergura asupra cetatii Callatis au fost demarate abia in 1962, fiind desfasurate, timp de zece ani, de capitanul-comandor Constantin Scarlat, o figura emblematica pentru Marina Militara.
El a infiintat prima unitate de scafandri din Armata Romana. Datorita lui exista azi o harta detaliata a cetatii scufundate. Cu toate astea, Constantin Scarlat arata, intr-un articol publicat in 1973, ca pana la momentul respectiv fusesera descoperite cel mult 20% din totalul vestigiilor submarine din dreptul Mangaliei
. Investigatiile au fost reluate abia in 1994, de data asta sub auspiciile Muzeului de Arheologie din Mangalia, care a colaborat, pana in 1998, cu cercetatorii italieni de la “Cooperativa Metambuco” din Padova. Dupa ei au venit, in 2007, specialistii de la “Octopus Archeological Research Association” din Budapesta si de la Centrul de Scafandri “Carpatica” din Bucuresti.
Cercetari pe bani proprii
Un alt mare pasionat de povestea Callatisului este Jeno Szabo. El a infiintat in judetul Covasna unicul centru din Romania in care se pregatesc scafandri arheologi. Jeno a facut parte din echipa lui Jacques-Yves Cousteau. Dupa tot ce a vazut in lumea intreaga, Jeno Szabo ne spune ca cetatea scufundata de langa Mangalia e unica in lume.
“E unica tocmai prin intinderea sa”, zice romanul, care a inceput sa studieze cetatea Callatis inca din 2004, in colaborare cu Muzeul de Arheologie din Mangalia. Pentru ca nu avea cine sa-l ajute cu bani, Jeno Szabo a scos din propriul buzunar peste 20.000 euro.
Avea nevoie de bani pentru combustibil, cazare si masa pentru oamenii de stiinta. Noroc ca au mai venit sponsorizari de la colegii sai din strainatate, pentru acoperirea unui buget total de 75.000 euro, cat a costat intreaga operatiune de la acea vreme, care insemna folosirea unor echipamente sofisticate, inclusiv a unui minisubmarin. “Am batut pe la multe usi, pe la ministere, sa obtin bani pentru continuarea cercetarilor. Toti te asculta, promit, dar pana la urma nu fac nimic”, e mahnit interlocutorul nostru.
Directorul-scafandru
Poti merge pe “strazi”, vezi peste tot pavaje, mai sunt resturi ale unor constructii – coloane si capiteluri, la care se adauga fragmente din vase ceramice. Se vad ziduri din caramida antica, dale din piatra. Toate acestea pot fi observate si atinse pe fundul Marii Negre, in dreptul Mangaliei.
Asa ne povesteste Sorin Colesniuc, directorul Muzeului de Arheologie din Mangalia, care a imbracat, cu cativa ani in urma, echipamentul de scafandru si a studiat zona, cu ochiul arheologului, pana la o adancime de 12 metri. “Potentialul turistic al acestui sit arheologic este de neimaginat. O cercetare amanuntita ar scoate la lumina valori inestimabile”, spune directorul muzeului.
Noua atractie turistica in Egipt – muzeele submarine
Aflam ce fac strainii care au norocul unor vestigii antice scufundate in apropierea tarmurilor lor. Egiptul va demara anul viitor un proiect in valoare de 140 milioane dolari, pentru construirea unui muzeu subacvatic. Turistii vor avea ocazia sa admire la fata locului ruinele palatului Cleopatrei. Constructia a fost inghitita de apa din cauza mai multor cutremure. Ideea e ca turistii sa coboare pe fundul marii, de-a lungul unor culoare din sticla. China vrea sa construiasca un muzeu asemanator, fiind dispusa la o investitie de 20 milioane dolari.
De data asta, e vorba despre posibilitatea vizitarii unei epave scufundate cu 800 de ani in urma. Corabia se afla in apropierea coastei, in provincia Guangdong, la o adancime de 24 de metri. Specialistii au spus ca vasul “Marea de Sud – 1″ ar putea fi distrus in cazul in care s-ar decide scoaterea lui la suprafata. Asa ca mai bine se duc oamenii in adancuri, prin culoare din sticla, sa-l viziteze.
Ambasadoarea ONU a vizitat cetatea scufundata
Toti cei pe care i-am cunoscut cu aceasta ocazie sunt pesimisti. Cel mai transant a fost Jeno Szabo. El a spus clar: “Nu se va face nimic”. Tocmai il intrebasem cum vede viitorul Callatisului in materie de turism. Ne spune apoi si motivul dezamagirii sale: in 2007, a invitat-o la Mangalia pe ambasadoarea Organizatiei Natiunilor Unite in Romania, Soknan Han Jung. Oficialul a facut chiar o scufundare, sa vada cu ochii ei ruinele de pe fundul Marii Negre.
La intoarcerea pe mal, ambasadoarea a promis ca va trimite o scrisoare autoritatilor de la Bucuresti, cerandu-le sprijinul atat pentru continuarea cercetarilor, cat si pentru amenajarile ulterioare, astfel incat cetatea submarina sa devina o atractie turistica.
“Nici pana azi nu s-a primit un raspuns la acea scrisoare”, zice Jeno Szabo. Daca a vazut cum merg treburile, omul nostru a vrut sa stranga singur banii necesari. Din pacate, a venit criza economica, asa ca speranta unor sponsorizari a disparut.
Ultima speranta – un proiect european
Dezamagit de aceasta situatie este si directorul Muzeului de Arheologie din Mangalia, Sorin Colesniuc. Ne povesteste ca a facut si el solicitari la nenumarate foruri din Bucuresti. Nimic concret n-a obtinut. Dar inca mai spera intr-o minune – un proiect european pe care a inceput sa-l puna pe hartie. Calculele estimative arata ca ar fi suficiente 180.000 euro pentru cercetari amanuntite asupra cetatii. “Am putea scoate de sub apa valori culturale inestimabile”, e convins directorul.
El crede ca nu e nevoie decat de trei luni de cercetari, in care sa fie folositi cel mult opt specialisti, atat arheologi, cat si scafandri. Cu tot cu dotarile necesare – echipamente autonome pentru scufundare, sisteme de comunicatii, un sonar, aparate de fotografiat si de filmat subacvatice, un minisubmarin si un mecanism pentru ridicarea la suprafata a diverselor obiecte cu valoare istorica.
Tot in acest buget ar fi incluse si agregate speciale, ca niste aspiratoare. Cu ajutorul lor ar fi scoase in relief zidurile si restul constructiilor de pe fundul marii, prin indepartarea malului. Turistii vor putea in acest fel sa “citeasca” mai usor o buna parte din istoria incatusata de ape. Desi suntem pe malul Marii Negre, arheologul Liliana Vioiu ne spune, la sfarsitul vizitei noastre, ca “aici, la Mangalia, stam pe un munte de miracole”. Dar intrebarea de baza e urmatoarea: pe cine intereseaza acest lucru?…

Marea Neagra, plina de secrete
Marea Neagra este plina de secrete, epave si ruine antice impanzind strafundurile sale, accesul, insa , este foarte dificil; doar in anumite perioade ale anului, scafandrii dotati cu un echipament corespunzator au acces la numeroasele obiective de pe fundul marii, pentru ca vechiul Pont Euxin isi pastreaza si sub apa reputatia de mare neprimitoare.
PORTUL CETATII TOMIS.
Multi dintre constanteni nu stiu faptul ca pe o distanta de 300 de metri in largul falezei Cazinoului se afla ruinele subacvatice ale portului vechii cetati tomitane, docuri, depozite de marfuri si alte structuri antice stau cuminti, ingropate in uitare. De asemenea, vechea Callatis, are o buna portiune sub apa.
Cetatea subacvatica se intinde pe multe hectare, de la Mangalia pana la 2 Mai, mergand in larg pana la 900 de metri sau chiar mai mult, se afla un oras antic subacvatic. Portiuni de pavaj si urme de ziduri sunt vizibile si acum. Ar mai fi o varianta sustinuta de specialisti. Conform acesteia, o parte din ruine sunt ale vechii cetati Callatis, iar o parte sunt urmele asezarilor aflate pe niste insule care formau un fel de port natural.
EPAVE MEDIEVALE. Epavele antice si medievale se odihnesc in malul Marii Negre, dar scafandrii sustin ca nu le pot determina vechimea, acesta fiind apanajul arheologilor. Cel putin patru epave considerate medievale se afla in sudul litoralului.
Doua sunt la Mangalia, una la Costinesti si una la Eforie. Din ele se mai zaresc doar coastele si chila. Pot fi zarite si ancore sau amfore, dar alte obiecte mai mici sau comori nu exista, pentru ca in Marea Neagra s-au tranzactionat doar bunuri de consum.
AGATELE DE LA 2 MAI. Exista o legenda a comorilor, aceasta ar fi legata de golful de la 2 Mai. Potrivit legendei, o nava romana care a venit in Marea Neagra incarcata doar cu balast l-a aruncat cand a luat marfa pentru pietele imperiului. Insa balastul era sol vulcanic din zona Neapolelui, iar acesta continea agate scoase de vulcanul Vezuviu. Cu timpul, apa marii a spalat solul vulcanic, ramanand doar pietrele semipretioase, despre care unii spun ca le-au gasit pe plaja golfului de la 2 Mai.
POTOPUL A FOST AICI. Cea mai fascinanta realitate a Marii Negre este scaderea constanta a nivelului salinitatii, ceea ce indica, impreuna cu urmele de locuire descoperite pe platforma continentala, la aproximativ 200 de metri adancime, faptul ca la origini ea a fost un lac cu apa dulce. Marea Mediterana s-a revarsat in lacul cu apa dulce si a luat nastere Pontul Euxin. Pentru locuitorii din antichitate, evenimentul a reprezentat un veritabil potop, acesta putand fi sursa povestilor numeroase din vechime, inclusiv a celei biblice.

Akra, oraşul antic înghiţit de Marea Neagră
O echipă de scafandri ucraineni a explorat ruinele oraşului antic
Akra, scufundat în apele Mării Negre, în zona de coastă a Crimeei.
Oraşul Akra a fost observat în detaliu pentru prima dată în anii
’80, dar cercetătorii au făcut recent mai multe descoperiri noi,
potrivit realitatea.net.
Printre acestea se numără şi o serie de epave. Vasele descoperite
pe fundul mării datează atât din Antichitate, cât şi din Evul Mediu.
Majoritatea transportau bunuri de larg consum dinspre Strâmtoarea Bosfor
către către Akra. Arheologii ucraineni au scos la suprafaţă sute de
artefacte, printre care vase de ceramică şi fragmente din fundaţia
clădirilor oraşului.
Supranumit Atlantisul din Crimeea, Akra s-a scufundat în ocean
atunci când malul pe care se afla oraşul s-a surpat şi a dus la
prăbuşirea acestuia în ocean. Potrivit experţilor ucraineni, va dura mai
bine de un deceniu până când scafandrii vor putea explora oraşul
scufundat în întregime.

Dark Secrets of the Black Sea - Uncovering the Roots of Early Civilization
The Black Sea is a place of great mystery and antiquity. Ancient legends describe a time when the oceans rose above the land, causing an entire civilization to vanish beneath the cold waters of this ocean region. Could this be the great flood described in the Bible during the time of Noah?
Today scientists are beginning to discover what may have caused the oceans to rise and are developing new insights about an ancient advanced culture that existed in this mysterious part of the world. This program presents amazing archeological evidence of ancient advanced technology and a long lost advanced civilization that flourished in the Dead Sea region before the end of the last Ice Age.
Includes the facts about this amazing mystery and features, on-site investigations, ancient artifacts, under water archeology, and a fascinating series of spellbinding interviews with researchers, scientists, archeologists and the best-known most credible Black Sea authorities in the world today.

Potopul lui Noe a avut loc în MAREA NEAGRĂ
Descoperire ştiinţifică în adâncuri.
Un articol publicat în Washington Post dezvăluie cercetarea exloratorului Robert Ballard (cel care a descoperit şi Titanicul) care a condus o echipă de cercetători, în Marea Neagră, pentru a căuta dovezi referitoare la Potopul lui Noe.
Cat de confortabil e sa obtii un credit Cetelem? Credit de
nevoi personale, rapid ca un ‘’click’’!La aproximativ 170 de metri adâncime, celebrul explorator Robert Ballar a găsit dovezi ale unui potop catastrofal petrecut cu 7.500 de ani în urma, acesta fiind, posibil,''Potopul lui Noe''.
Exploratorul împreună cu echipa sa au capturat câteva imagini şi au cules mostre de sedimente de pe fundul Mării Negre, care păstrau o istorie plină de surprize. Zonele care au fost inundate, aparţineau unui ţinut uscat, inundat brusc de apă sărată. Astfel, exploratorul plasează catastrofa ca fiind petrecută acum 7.500 de ani (asta însemnând în anul 5.500 Î.Hr) iar facerea lumii a avut loc în anul 5.508 Î.Hr.
Potrivit geologilor de la Universitatea din Columbia, alţi doi cercetători, Wiliam Ryan şi Pitman Walter, au găsit de asemenea probe: ''Marea Mediterană s-a format prin topirea gheţarilor. Nivelul acesteia a crescut atât de mult încât s-a revarsat în Marea Neagră, formând un baraj între cele două, actualul Bosfor, strâmtoarea care desparte cele două mări.
Un potop apocaliptic a urmat,
inundând barajul şi scufundând kilometri pătraţi de uscat'', povestesc
cei doi care, sunt de parere că, ''toţi profesorii privesc povestea lui
Noe ca fiind o legendă, însă noi am găsit dovezi cum că în Marea Neagră a
avut loc un potop uriaş''.
Deasemenea, o teorie arată că apariţia speciilor acvatice mediteraneene Spondilus Gaederopus şi Sparus Aurata pe litoralul românesc, nu poate fi explicat decât prin faptul acestui eveniment, al revarsării Mediteranei.
Un alt cercetător, Liviu Giosan de la ''Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution'' din SUA, contestă că acest eveniment a avut loc, după ce a făcut, deasemenea, cercetări în Delta Dunării.
Revarsarea Mediteranei în Marea Neagra a lasat mărturii în texte vechi, anterioare Bibliei, lângă populaţii care au trăit nu foarte departe de locul catastrofei. Mesopotamienii au o poveste foarte asemanatoare cu cea a lui Noe din Vechiu Testament.

THE GREAT ATLANTIS FLOOD
one
terrible day and night of misfortune;
the
extraordinary inundation of Atlantis, Attica and Hellas
By Leon Flying Eagle
& Mary Whispering Wind
_________________________________________________
Introduction
to Great Atlantis Flood Theory
The
Great Atlantis Flood Theory presents scientific evidence which
supports
the truth of the history of Atlantis, as recorded in the Dialogues
of Plato. According to the Dialogues, the history of
Atlantis, Attica
and Hellas was recorded in ancient sacred Egyptian records.
The Dialogues
reveal that an aged Egyptian priest showed these records to a
visiting
Greek statesman named Solon, known as the wisest of the Seven Greek
Sages and “Lawgiver” of Athens.
Solon translated the records
and wrote
an unfinished epic poem containing all the details of these
ancient
civilizations. This poem was subsequently recited by Critias
and recorded
in The Dialogues of Plato.
The Dialogues affirm that these
historical
records are not fiction but are indeed fact, and that the
perseverance,
tragedies and triumphs of the inhabitants of these ancient
nations,
as revealed in the records, are absolutely true!
The
Egyptian priest described the founding of ancient Atlantis by
Poseidon
and Cleito and the founding of ancient Athens by Hephaestus
and Athene,
at some date which was lost in antiquity.
Many generations of
empire
builders created their great kingdoms and established their
provinces.
These kingdoms grew and prospered, however as their cultures
evolved,
they formed vastly different governmental control systems.
In
9,600 BC, the burgeoning military-minded, male-dominated
aristocracy
of the Empire of Atlantis sought to subjugate the
freedom-loving, ecologically-friendly
and equality-minded Athenians.
This began a great war between
the two
empires. Battles raged throughout the provinces, and then as
the Athenians
were marching against the mighty City of Atlantis, Mother-Nature wrought
a dramatic end to the hostilities, the combatants and their
empires.
Suddenly the magnificent City of Atlantis was destroyed by an earthquake
and the Island of Atlantis sank into the sea, and the modest
homes and
fertile farmlands of the Hellenes were washed into the sea by
an “extraordinary
inundation,” which left only a remnant of Attica.

Overview of the Great Atlantis Flood,
and the extraordinary inundation of
Atlantis, Attica and Hellas
1.
Caspian Sea 2. Manych-Kerch
Gateway 3. Atlantis 4. Diverse
islands
The
Great Atlantis Flood Theory presents evidence which supports
the truth
of the history of Atlantis. We propose that the Dialogues of
Plato
present an accurate account of geological events, occurring
in 9,600
BC, in the Black Sea-Mediterranean Corridor, extending from
the Caspian
Sea to the Mediterranean Sea.
Glacial melt-waters, at the end of the Younger Dryas Ice
Age, raised
the level of the Caspian Sea (1.). An earthquake caused the
Manych-Kerch
Gateway (2.) to fracture, allowing the Caspian Sea to break
through
into the farmlands of Atlantis (3.).
Simultaneously the
earthquake
caused the Atlantean farmlands
to sink,
thus increasing the intensity of the flood waters from the
Caspian
Sea. The Island of Atlantis “disappeared” beneath the flood
waters
which filled the Azov
depression. The earthquake and resulting tsunami washed
away diverse islands (4.) in the Black Sea (5.).
The
earthquake and
tsunami also caused the Black Sea to flood into Attica (6.),
via the Sakarya
River Delta
and/or
to burst up through a proposed subterranean outflow channel
causing
the farmlands of Attica and Hellas (7.) to be washed away
into the
Mediterranean Sea (8.).
|
The
Great Atlantis Flood of 9,600 BC
The
aged
Egyptian priest presents an accurate account of the
torrential flooding
which occurred 9,000 years before Solon’s journey to Egypt. The priest
displayed an uncanny knowledge of history by citing the date
for the
catastrophic destruction of Atlantis at 9,600 BC. This date
coincides
with scientific evidence of catastrophic global flooding at
the end
of the Younger Dryas ice age, in exactly 9,600 BC.

An aged Egyptian priest set the date for
the destruction of the empire of Atlantis and
the
empire of the Hellenes at 11,600 years
ago (9,600 BC.).

_________________________________________________
The catastrophe begins when
One
beautiful morning, in 9,600 BC, a devastating impulse
rupture earthquake
suddenly hit Kerch, Crimea,
Ukraine; the
ancient location of the City
of Atlantis. The Tectonics of the Kerch
Peninsula reveal evidence of this
catastrophic
earthquake. The city of Atlantis was immediately leveled.
The earthquake
caused the southern portion of the Island of
Atlantis, north of the
City, to drop 8 to 10 meters; forming the Sea of Azov
depression. Just the day before the mighty City of Atlantis
was a
thriving metropolis; where people were laughing, crying,
being born
and dying, waging war and praying for peace; they were all
suddenly
silenced…..
The
area
surrounding the city of Kerch,
site of ancient
Panticapaeum
(Mithridat Hill) is located on Orogene
formation. This is a stable area of original earth
crust. The City did not sink because it is located on this Orogene
formation. The Kopet-Dagh tectonic
thrust
fault runs along the northern edge of Kerch
Peninsula, in Crimea and the Taman
Peninsula,
in Russia. Rupture zones run along the northern coast of the Kerch
peninsula, and also transverse to it in the Kerch
Strait and the Kazantip peninsula.
Scientific evidence reveals that an earthquake,
estimated at magnitude
8.9, hit Crimea during the late Pleistocene or early Holocene,
the date
of 9,600 BC rests comfortably within the middle of this time
frame. (see
refs. 1,3,5 + 6)

The
Island of Atlantis and diverse islands in the sea
|
The
Sea of Azov was a vast well-watered plain, covered with
fertile alluvial
soil, before 9,600 BC. This wide expanse was an inviting
habitat, where
the Island of Atlantis was created by the excavation of a
navigable
ditch around the fertile plain.
The earthquake caused the
major portion
of the plain to sink. The earthquake generated massive tidal
waves in
the Black Sea. The tidal waves met flood of waters overflowing
from
the Caspian Sea and created a churning backlash which
inundated the
Island of Atlantis.
These giant waves drove inland inundating
the provinces
and sending waves up the river channels, which were already
swollen
from the glacial melt waters. The fertile plain disappeared
beneath
the sea, just as described by the sacred Egyptian records.
Plato’s dialogues
present an accurate geological account of how the Sea of Azov
was formed.
The diverse islands were located on the broad continental
shelf in the
north-western Black Sea (Danube Delta area). The waves from
the tsunami
washed away these islands and their inhabitants.
|
The Egyptian priest accurately described the
creation
of the original Archipelagos; which was the ancient name of
the islands
in the Aegean Sea. He accurately described the geological
transformation of the
former Aegean fertile plain into the modern Aegean
Sea.
This description is supported by scientific evidence that
the
area of the Aegean Sea was above sea level in 9,600 BC. How
could
these events have been so accurately recorded in ancient
times, unless
the sacred Egyptian records actually existed?
|
Modern geography
of Bosporus,
Marmara and Sakarya river Delta.
The waves generated by the tsunami in the
Black Sea,
broke through the Sakarya River
Delta; into Lake Sapanca
and Izmit Basin.
This explains the presence of Caspian Sea mollusks in
the Black
Sea, Sea of Marmara and the
Dardanelles.
The Egyptian priest reported that a river called the Asopus
ran through the fertile farmlands of the Empire of the
Hellenes. This
river was fed by overflow from the Black Sea and water
seeping up
through many fractures in the proposed subterranean channel,
which
had many smaller tributaries.
The Egyptian priest reported that there
were
abundant fountains and springs of fresh water in the fertile
plain
of Attica. In our scenario these fountains and springs
were created
by various fractures in the proposed subterranean channel.
The increased hydraulic pressure from tidal
waves
in the Black Sea, possibly aided by the earthquake and
aftershocks,
catastrophically fractured the proposed subterranean outflow
channel
into the Mediterranean Sea.
The subterranean channel
ruptured from
the hydraulic pressure of the surging waters within the
channel beneath.
A series of three magnificent fountains, as geysers, broke
through
the fractures and erupted in the heartland of Attica. The
hydraulic
pressure of the immense geysers excavated the present-day Sea
of Marmara.
The farmlands of the Hellenes were washed
away by
the mixture of churning water and debris from the combined
fury of
the gushing geysers and the tidal waves, flooding into the Sakarya
River Delta, from the Black Sea. This catastrophic event
washed away
the fertile farmlands of the Aegean Sea area; leaving
only the bare bones as islands.

of people and animals which had survived the earthquakes
and floods.
Atlantis was destroyed causing the remnant of the populous
to migrate
in every direction, away from the treacherous and putrid
seas.
The small bands of survivors from Atlantis began rebuilding their civilizations. They formed the cultures of the Neolithic age, as described by Prof. Siegfried Schoppe and Christian Schoppe in their Black-Sea-Atlantis Hypothesis. Once again the remnants of Atlantis were assailed by floods, as the rising sea level inundated many settlements, and instigated increased migrations. However, we propose a strikingly different theory of the opening of the Bosporus, than the controversial Noah's Flood theory by American Marine-Geologists Walter Pitman and William Ryan.
Mt. Athos is
proposed as original city of Athens
Athens, the ancient capital city of the
Hellenes was destroyed during the catastrophe and was relocated to its
present location. The Dialogues of Plato describe the re-founding of
Athens by Athene alone, in 9,600 BC.
The ancient location of Athens
may have been near Mt. Olympus, thus generating the myth of the
habitation of the gods being located on Mt. Olympus. However, due to
confusion generated over the passing millennia, and the migration of
place names (for example; Memphis, Egypt and Memphis, Tennessee), and
our own intuitive insight, we propose that the original site of Athens
was located on Mt. Athos, Greece.

After the earthquakes and floods, the level
of the
Black Sea lowered to the level of the outflow channel.
During the
next four millennia, the sea level of the Black Sea
fluctuated due
to varying climatic conditions.
The water levels of the
Black Sea
and the Caspian Sea rose quickly again, at the same time as
the world
ocean level rise, in about 5,600 BC.
The increased hydraulic
pressure,
generated by the rising water level and possibly with the
aid of tectonic
activity, in and around the Sea of Marmara, caused the
Bosporus land
bridge to fracture causing the opening of the Bosporus to
surface
flow from the Black Sea into the Mediterranean Sea.
The
initial
breach of the Bosporus land bridge instigated another
thunderous
discharge of flood waters cascading into the Mediterranean
Sea,
from the Black Sea; this great flood was another one of
the many
great deluges, described by the Egyptian priest, in the
long history
of misfortunes which have befallen, and still plague, the
ancient
motherland of the honorable Hellenes.
The modern straits of the Bosporus connect the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara. The opening of the Bosporus was the final step in uniting the Black Sea with the world oceans. After this breach the formerly fresh-water Black Sea began to become a salt water sea. |
In
summation,
our Great Atlantis Flood Theory presents the hypothesis that
The Dialogues
by Plato present an accurate detailed description of the
history and
geography of the ancient empires of Atlantis, Hellas and
Attica. We
present evidence that these ancient empires now lay, for the
most
part, beneath the Sea of Azov (Atlantis), the Black Sea
(island provinces),
the Sea of Marmara (Attica) and the Aegean Sea (Hellas).
Our hypothesis is supported by the correlation of modern scientific evidence with Plato's account of the ancient earthquakes and floods which devastated these ancient empires. The torrential flood described in Plato's ancient writings was truly a flood of biblical proportions! It destroyed the bulk of Human civilization in “one terrible day and night of misfortune.” |

GHOSTS of the black sea
Seven years ago, on his third trip to the Black Sea, Dr. Robert Ballard discovered a miraculously well-preserved Byzantine shipwreck, but his team could only take pictures.
Now, Ballard returns with state-of-the-art technology and a revolutionary $1.5 million robot known as "Hercules" to excavate two shipwrecks for the first time ever, including one of the most pristine ancient vessels ever found.
Ballard and his team have only two weeks, so they must work in perfect precision on their hunt for the Ghost Ships of the Black Sea

Black Sea Mermen
In 1996 a man named Borovikov was diving in the Anapa region of the Black Sea hunting sharks. Whilst he was eight meters deep he had a strange encounter with a mermaid type creature. In his article UFOs in the Soviet Waters, Paul Stonehill described the encounter. ‘He saw giant beings rising up from below.
They were milky-white, but with humanoid faces, and something like fish tails. The being ahead of its companions noticed Borovikov , and stopped. It had giant bulging eyes, as if in some vague glasses. The other two joined it.
The first one waved her hand-it was definitely a hand with membranes-towards the diver. All of them approached the diver , and stopped at a short distance. Then they turned around, and swam away.’
Paul Stonehill cited his source as being XX Vek: Khronika Neobjasnimogo (Moscow, 1996), in which the experience had been published.

Secrets of the Black Sea - Uncovering the Roots of Early Civilization
The Black Sea is a place of great mystery and antiquity. Ancient legends describe a time when the oceans rose above the land, causing an entire civilization to vanish beneath the cold waters of this ocean region. Could this be the great flood described in the Bible during the time of Noah?
Today scientists are beginning to discover what may have caused the oceans to rise and are developing new insights about an ancient advanced culture that existed in this mysterious part of the world. This program presents amazing archeological evidence of ancient advanced technology and a long lost advanced civilization that flourished in the Dead Sea region before the end of the last Ice Age.
Includes the facts about this amazing mystery and features, on-site investigations, ancient artifacts, under water archeology, and a fascinating series of spellbinding interviews with researchers, scientists, archeologists and the best-known most credible Black Sea authorities in the world today.
