ये शहर पानी में डूब गया | Lost City of Atlantis underwater Hindi | Unsolved Mysteries of the World This is SHYAM TOMAR and welcomes to Tech & Myths Atlantis is a fictional island mentioned within an allegory on the hubris of nations in Plato's works Timaeus and Critias, where it represents the antagonist naval power that besieges "Ancient Athens", the pseudo-historic embodiment of Plato's ideal state in The Republic. We have all heard of Atlantis, the legendary island that sank into the sea in a single day and night. But who came up with it, was Atlantis a real place, and is there more to the story than this? We get the story of Atlantis from the Greek philosopher Plato. Really, from two of his writings, Timaeus and Critias. The books date to around 360 BC.In them, Plato wrote that the Greek sage Solon was given the story in Egypt by a priest. Upon his return, Solon shared the story with his relative Dropides. Then Dropides passed it down to his son Critias, who told his grandson, also named Critias, who finally shared it with the philosopher Socrates and others who were present.This list should not be taken as historical fact but as a true account of what Plato wrote. Whether we decide to believe in the legend is our own choice, but we can probably agree that this might have been the first recorded game of telephone. Most people probably believe that Atlantis got its name from being in the Atlantic Ocean, but the text claims that it is the other way around. As the story goes, Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, had five pairs of male twins with a mortal Atlantean woman named Cleito.The god gave each of his 10 sons different portions of the island over which to rule. Gadeirus was the second-eldest of these sons. While he may have had a city in Spain named after him, it was his older twin, Atlas, who would have the glory of being the island’s namesake. Critias ends after Zeus, head of the Greek gods, “collected all the gods into their most holy habitation, which, being placed in the center of the world, beholds all created things. And when he had called them together, he spake as follows.” It ends there. Talk about a cliffhanger.It is not known if Plato left the book incomplete on purpose or if the finished version was lost long ago. Not only are we missing the ending of Critias, but it is thought that Plato wrote, or at least planned to write, a third book on Atlantis called Hermocrates.There are a couple of facts to support this theory. A line in Critias reads, “Critias, we will grant your request, and we will grant the same by anticipation to Hermocrates, as well as to you and Timaeus.” This suggests that a third account of the story was to be given by Hermocrates.[3]Also, the names of the three books may contain a hidden message, especially when one looks at the order in which Plato wrote, or would have written, them. Timaeus comes from the Greek tio, meaning “to honor.” Critias comes from the Greek krima, meaning “judgment.” story of Atlantis was handed down to Solon in Egypt when he wanted to “draw” one of the priests to speak about their oldest of tales. To do this, Solon decided to tell the priests about the oldest Greek stories he could recall. He spoke to them about a great flood and about the first man. After listening to Solon, one priest responded, “O Solon, Solon . . . there is not an old man among you . . . in mind you are all young; there is no old opinion handed down among you by ancient tradition.”The priest went on to say that Athens, Solon’s home city, was much older than he thought it was. In the Egyptian registers at Sais [where they were], it was written that Sais was founded 8,000 years before their own time. It was also recorded there that Athens was founded 1,000 years before Sais and that the Athenians of this time fought off Atlantis.
