A strange thing happened recently near the Strait of Gibraltar.
That is, flocks of seabirds have been circling over a sea area, singing in circles.
This isn't the first time this scene has occurred.
Many people think that this is just because there is more food in the sea, which attracts birds to come to this place to feed.
In order to attract attention, some media also introduced the gimmick that Atlantis might exist in this place. In fact, they themselves did not believe it.
But now Ning Fei said he wanted to come here to find Atlantis.
This incident undoubtedly makes people feel very magical.
[Does Atlantis really exist?]
[yes? I watched the DC movie "Aquaman" and it seemed like the main character lived in Atlantis.]
[The foreign Poseidon is in Atlantis, which is equivalent to the East China Sea Dragon Palace in China.]
Life on a cruise ship is a bit monotonous, so Ning Fei sometimes watches the barrage and chats with netizens.
"There is a strong possibility that Atlantis existed."
“The earliest recorded description appears in the ancient Greek philosopher Plato’s work The Dialogues.”
“Plato claimed that Atlantis was destroyed by a prehistoric flood 10,000 years ago in the park.”
"According to legend, Atlantis is an ancient city-state with highly developed civilization, and its people regard themselves as the people of the God of the Ocean."
"If it exists, it's probably buried deep in the ocean."
Ning Fei said to the netizens in the live broadcast room.
Ning Fei has read many ancient books, and he knows that there are many ancient figures who are absolutely talented.
Not to mention representatives such as Laozi and Zhuang Zhou, there are also Zhang Heng who studied seismometers, Lu Ban who was proficient in industrial machinery, etc. They are all outstanding talents in a certain field.
Similarly, ancient Greece is a representative of ancient culture, and the great figures in it are also very knowledgeable.
"Ancient Greece was not one of the four ancient countries. It was a secondary civilization."
"The four ancient countries, including China, belong to the original civilization. That is, they can create their own civilization without interference from the outside world."
"In addition to primary and secondary civilizations, ancient Greece was influenced by ancient Indian culture and was a maritime civilization."
"And the four ancient countries all belong to the Great River Civilization."
"In other words, ancient Greece was more proficient in ocean research than the four major ancient countries. It had its own unique development path."
“So, Plato’s Dialogues may not just be groundless.”
Ning Fei said again.
After hearing Ning Fei's words, netizens were confused.
[What is he saying? Why can't I understand?]
[I don’t know how powerful it is!]
[Simply put, the maritime culture of ancient Greece was very developed, and many legends about the ocean may be true.]
[It’s unlikely. In all these years, no one from Europe has found Atlantis.]
[Good guy, I thought Ning Guanzhu only knew about astronomy and geography. I didn’t expect that he also knew so much about foreign knowledge.]
[Plato, ancient Greece, feels so far away from us.]
When Chinese netizens were discussing, foreign netizens also felt particularly in agreement with Ning Fei's understanding of their culture.
"However, the answer to whether Atlantis really exists needs to be explored."
"It has been so many years. It is worth discussing what the structure of ancient Atlantis was and whether it was an ancient country with a high degree of civilization as rumored."
"Also, people have never stopped looking for Atlantis since ancient times, but until today, no one has found it."
Ning Fei continued.
He also felt a little incredible.
If Atlantis really existed, why has no one found it for thousands of years
But the system says it does exist.
What kind of place will it exist
Bai Yi is particularly interested in the scenery on the sea.
But it's only temporary.
The endless sea is very stunning at first sight, but as time goes by, it gradually becomes boring.
Therefore, traveling long distances is a spiritual practice, and you need to be able to endure it.
"Brother, when will you arrive?"
Bai Yi lay on the bow of the boat bored, holding the railing with both hands, and said.
"Xiao Bai, how far is it?"
Ning Fei asked the cruise ship's smart butler.
"Reporting to the captain, we are currently 432 nautical miles away from the Strait of Gibraltar and we expect to arrive in 10 hours."
"It's finally here." Bai Yi suddenly became happy.
Ning Fei just smiled.
For Ning Fei, the atmosphere on the ship became more lively after Bai Yi got on the ship, and it helped him relieve his loneliness.
After all, sailing on the sea sometimes takes more than ten days, which is relatively boring.
Ning Fei checked the instructions given by the system.
On the phone, Ning Fei could see a circular pattern similar to a radar scan, but to his expectation, this pattern was not in the ocean, but on land.
"I see."
Ning Fei nodded and thought to himself.
No wonder so many explorers went to the ocean to look for Atlantis but couldn't find it. It turned out that Atlantis was not in the ocean at all!
This is indeed a great discovery.
The Strait of Gibraltar is located at the junction of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. It is the only "throat" for the Atlantic Ocean to enter the Mediterranean Sea. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
Thousands of years ago, because of its unique geographical location, it led to the melee of city-states around the Mediterranean Sea and the development of marine civilization.
"We are almost reaching the Strait of Gibraltar, and there are obviously more ships around."
At this time, Ning Fei said to the netizens in the live broadcast room.
Everyone looked at the sound, and sure enough, they saw many large ships in the surrounding sea slowly converging forward, heading in the same direction.
Straits like this are important transportation areas, with unimaginably huge ports. Sometimes there are tens of thousands of ships moored in the port, which is also a spectacular scene.
[Is it coming?]
[Guanzhu Ning, how are you going to find Atlantis?]
[Yeah, the Atlantic Ocean is so big, how can it be found?]
[Do you want to dive into the bottom of the sea and search for it bit by bit? When will it be found?]
Netizens have been paying close attention to this matter, and now that they are finally close to their destination, everyone is becoming more curious.
Seeing the comments from netizens, Ning Fei smiled and said:
"Over thousands of years, there have been many hypotheses about Atlantis."
"The most widely spread theory is that Atlantis was once an island and later sank to the bottom of the sea for special reasons."
"Later, in order to verify this issue, modern scholars conducted a special investigation on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean."
"Scientists have discovered that the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean is covered with thick sedimentary rocks, which take millions of years to form, and there are no traces of island subsidence."
"So, it is very likely that Atlantis is not under the sea."
"We have to believe in science!"
After hearing Ning Fei's words, netizens felt that something was not right.
[Ning Guanzhu said that we must believe in science.]
[I believe in science every word, and theology is in every move.]
[I used to believe in science, but after watching Ning Guanzhu’s live broadcast, I now believe in metaphysics.]
[I just felt like something wasn’t right.]
[Hahaha, it turns out everyone feels this way.]
Ning Fei does not intend to enter the Strait of Gibraltar.
Complicated customs procedures, inspections, etc. would take at least two or three days there, and Atlantis was not located here.
Ning Fei controlled the Qingfeng cruise ship and sped away.
"When things go wrong, there must be a monster."
"First go to the place where seabirds gather."
He remembered the news from the past few days and planned to go to that place to look for any clues.
After all, that sea area is very close to the area marked by the system.
Ning Fei didn't know what form Atlantis existed in.
So, he needs to look for clues.
The Qingfeng cruise ship headed forward.
There are more and more seabirds around.
The little falcon soared in the sky, looking at the scene in front of him, and seemed a little confused.
It chirped softly a few times, conveying a message to Ning Fei.
"People have good theories about why seabirds gather in this area, but they're not entirely right."
"Scholars believe that this area is rich in marine resources and food, so seabirds keep stopping here."
"But in fact, it's more than that. The little falcon told me that there is something under the sea that attracts them."
"I have to go down and take a look."
