Archaeology of the North Sea<\/h2>

Britain, Shetland Islands and Scandinavia<\/strong><\/h4>[vc_column_text]Archaeology of the North Sea has been studied again recently. Several major archaeological finds were made in recent years in areas under the North Sea. In 2007, archaeologists uncovered a huge, prehistoric “lost country”, from the east coast of Britain, to the Shetland Islands, and to Scandinavia.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row vertical_align=”middle” responsive_point=”960″ bg_color=””][vc_column align=”right” width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]In the story, Athens was able to repel the Atlantean attack, unlike any other nation of the (western) known world, supposedly giving testament to the superiority of Plato’s concept of a state. At the end of the story, Atlantis eventually falls out of favor with the gods and famously submerges into the Atlantic Ocean.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column align=”center” show_as_first=”yes” width=”1\/3″]

The allegorical aspect of Atlantis was taken up in utopian works of several Renaissance writers, such as Bacon’s New Atlantis and More’s Utopia. On the other hand, 19th-century amateur scholars misinterpreted Plato’s account as historical tradition, most notably in Donnelly’s Atlantis: The Antediluvian World. Plato’s vague indications of the time of the events\u2014more than 9,000 years before his day\u2014and the alleged location of Atlantis\u2014”beyond the Pillars of Hercules”\u2014has led to much pseudoscientific speculation. As a consequence, Atlantis has become a byword for any and all supposed advanced prehistoric lost civilizations and continues to inspire contemporary fiction, from comic books to films.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row vertical_align=”middle” responsive_point=”960″ bg_color=””][vc_column width=”1\/2″]

“Countries have lost their culture because what they wanted was money. Money became the running theme in every country and culture was sacrificed.”Yoko Ono<\/cite><\/blockquote>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″]

[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]While present-day philologists and historians accept the story’s fictional character, there is still debate on what served as its inspiration. The fact that Plato borrowed some of his allegories and metaphors\u2014most notably the story of Gyges\u2014from older traditions has caused a number of scholars to investigate possible inspiration of Atlantis from Egyptian records of the Thera eruption, the Sea Peoples invasion, or the Trojan War. Others have rejected this chain of tradition as implausible and insist that Plato designed the story from scratch, drawing loose inspiration from contemporary events like the failed Athenian invasion of Sicily in 415\u2013413 BC or the destruction of Helike in 373 BC.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row bg_color=””][vc_column width=”1\/1″]
