Secrets of history. Part 1

Was there Atlantis?
Atlantis is the most famous of the legendary continents of the Ancient World. Plato wrote about it in detail. It was mentioned in her writings by Herodotus, Diodorus of Sicily, Posidonius, Strabo and Proclus. According to Plato, the island was in the west of the Pillars of Hercules, opposite the mountains of Atlanta. During a severe earthquake, he went underwater for one day. It happened around 9500 BC. Atlantis was searched all over the world, from Gibraltar to Peru and Brazil, but to date there is not a single scientifically valid theory of its location.

Was there a Flood?
The Flood is mentioned not only in the canonical books of the Bible, but also in the later apocrypha. For example, in the Book of Enoch. There is a plot about the flood in other books, in the Jewish Haggadah and in the Midrash of Tanhum, as well as in the Sumerian myth of Ziusudra. The first extant Sumerian poems about the Flood go back to the XVIII century BC. Mention of the sea's transgressions is in the myths of all cultures, but was there really a flood? Historians can not yet give an unambiguous answer. However, it is known, for example, that around 5600 BC. in the Mediterranean there was a real flood, when due to earthquakes the level of the Black Sea rose 140 meters, it increased 1.5 times, the Sea of ​​Azov appeared. Perhaps, for the inhabitants of those places it was a "worldwide flood".
