Pacific seafloor discovery

Neatly paved "yellow brick road" found on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean

Today, with the rapid development of science, in addition to the birth of various tools to facilitate people's lives, many things that were once "myths" are gradually unveiled.

In ancient times, the moon was thought to be the place where Chang'e lived, and the cold Guang Han Palace was part of the divine world. But with the launch of Apollo in the late 1960s, Armstrong became the first human to visit the moon, and the uneven appearance of the moon's surface and its lifeless features shattered our illusions.

Over the past half-century, mankind has made great progress in space exploration; similarly, discoveries have been made in the mysterious realm of the ocean floor.

Discoveries at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean: the Yellow Brick Road

Compared with other oceans, the Pacific Ocean is not only the largest but also the only oceanic plate. Such a large area of the ocean makes people curious about it.

However, compared to the difficulties humans can overcome to travel to space, it is more difficult to penetrate the depths of the ocean. Therefore, the process of human exploration of the ocean is slow, but this does not mean that there is no discovery in the depths of the sea.

In May, the French expedition ship Nautilus of the same name as in "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" came to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean on a survey mission. When it came to working on the Nootka Seamount in the Hawaiian Islands region, I found a magical sight on the sea floor: a paved "yellow brick road" under the deep sea floor.

In the photo taken, we can see that the size of the "bricks" is not consistent, and its laying is also described as staggered, if you replace the material, it will be consistent with the road we see on the street.

This is a conventional survey, but accidentally found the "yellow brick road", researchers received the picture, and can not help but call this road "the road to Atlantis".

The legendary and highly developed civilization Atlantis is naturally not in the Pacific Ocean, but this name undoubtedly reveals a message: "yellow brick road" or man-made, its appearance may represent the newly discovered prehistoric relics.

Hypotheses and doubts about the "Yellow Brick Road

All speculation is based on certain facts and reasoning, and the speculation that the "yellow brick road" may be a prehistoric relic is not unreasonable.

First of all, as the previous picture shows, the "yellow brick road" is laid out in such a professional manner that it seems impossible to find any other cause than human power.

The second is that the earth has undergone many changes, and plate movement has made the Qaidam Basin have shells, which means that the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region was once an ocean. Does that also mean that the Pacific Ocean was not an ocean, but a land? Not only that but civilizations were born here. Only with the evolution of the earth, did the once-land civilization fall to the bottom of the sea.

Shells in the Qaidam Basin

It is speculated that mankind was born three million years ago, during which time there were perhaps earlier prehistoric civilizations in addition to the four ancient civilizations we know.

However, the "Yellow Brick Road" is not a simple judgment.

In human history, the earliest "bricks" were born in the two river valleys before 9500 BC. However, at that time, the "bricks" were more like the squares we used to play with as children, and they were not fired. The real brick is the one that was unearthed in Lantian, China, 5,000 years ago.

However, around five thousand years ago, the distribution of the earth's continents and oceans was not much different from today. So when did the "yellow bricks" at the bottom of the sea go there?

Is it true that, as some people say, the civilization of the Earth is a cycle, and that human society, which is now considered to have reached a high level of development, appeared a long time ago? Or, as some people say, alien civilizations have always influenced human civilization?

More inclined to natural formation

Compared to these speculations of unknown origin, the discovery of the Nautilus is more like a natural formation. In many cases, nature is far more ingenious than humans can imagine.

At one time, traces similar to the shape of a screw were found on Russian rocks. As a product of modern society, people then hung on to the prehistoric civilization as a case to support the existence of prehistoric civilization.

But after research, it was discovered that the rock was just a biological fossil that gave us the illusion that it looked like a screw.

In addition, a "mountain" was also found on the seashore of Northern Ireland. The mountain is an accumulation of stone columns, which are perpendicular to the ground and have sharp angles. Therefore, many people believe that this is not a mountain, but the foundation of ancient man.

However, this speculation was also rejected by geologists. They said that these stone columns are the result of volcanic activity.

During the Cretaceous period, the Earth's crustal movement was very obvious, and this area was constantly widened with the strait, resulting in constant volcanic activity. But as the Atlantic Ocean widened, the magma from the volcanic eruption bubbled out and then cooled rapidly when it encountered seawater, thus becoming columnar. Then, with the formation of the Atlantic Ocean and the washing of the sea, these pillars became what they are today.

Thus, what we find today seems to be accidental, but in fact, tens of thousands of years ago began to form, and eventually showed "artificial traces".

Similarly, most researchers have said that the "yellow brick road" under the sea is not a prehistoric relic, but the sea floor after the eruption of volcanoes, magma was the huge pressure deep under the sea into a smooth flat, water is cooled magma due to uneven heating, which eventually led to the fracture of these plates, showing the shape of bricks.

Therefore, the yellow brick road on the sea floor is not a prehistoric relic, but a natural scene left by the volcanic activity on the sea floor.

Life was first born in the ocean, so mankind has always tried to find something in the ocean to fill the gap between the birth of mankind and a reliable civilization.

However, the Earth has evolved over 400 million years from viral bacteria to humans. We can see the trend of continuous rise and development in human recordable history. Therefore, we should believe in the power of nature and the civilization of human beings as a continuous process, as opposed to a prehistoric civilization that exists circularly.
