Does Indonesian Archipelago is The Atlantis Island

Atlantis is a legendary island first mentioned by Plato in his Timaeus and Critias. In his notes, Plato wrote that Atlantis lay "beyond the pillars of Hercules", and has a navy conquered Western Europe and Africa 9,000 years before the time of Solon, or approximately the year 9500 BC. After failing to attack the Greeks, Atlantis sank into the ocean "in just one night".

The island of Atlantis as is known is a mysterious island that has so far its existence is not known with certainty. Before we discuss why Indonesia is part of the lost island of Atlantis is missing. We must know the beginning of the Atlantis itself or the Early History At the island of Atlantis.

Atlantis is generally regarded as a myth created by Plato to illustrate political theory. Although the functions of Atlantis story clearly visible to most experts, they are debating whether and how much Plato's account was inspired by older traditions. Some experts say that Plato describes the events that have passed, such as the Thera eruption or the Trojan war, while others claim that he was inspired by contemporary events like the collapse of Helike the year 373 BC or the failed Athenian invasion of Sicily in 415-413 BC.

In the classical era of the lost island of atlantis is often discussed, but most of them do not believe it and sometimes make jokes. The story of Atlantis is less known in the Middle Ages, however, in the modern era, the story of Atlantis was rediscovered. And now are busy talking that Indonesia is part of the island or the lost city of atlantis.

There are dozens - even hundreds - the proposed location of Atlantis. Several hypotheses are archaeological or scientific hypothesis, while others are based on physics or other. Many of the proposals that have similar characteristics to the Atlantis story (water, major disasters, the relevant time period), but none has been demonstrated as the true story of the history of Atlantis.


Islands in Indonesia and the Malay Peninsula that we observe today is a relic that was sunk from the Lemurian continent of Atlantis, the high peak mountains of volcanic eruptions that became the volcanic islands of this region, the site of a true paradise in all ancient traditions. The submerged part of the continental area now forming the seabed is muddy and shallow in the South China Sea. This region is surrounded by Indonesia and forms the boundary between the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean.

Then, as now, Indonesia formed the separation of the New World of the Ancient World, what the ancients (ancient / old) called Ultima Thule ("Ultimate Divide"? Separation Perfect). Thule is also related to what our parents named as the Pillars of Hercules, which according to Plato, is placed "right in front of Atlantis" (hyper ten Heraklei Nyssai).

Pillars of Hercules which is also the border who can not pass between the Old World and New World, also called East and West. Both are separated by an arc of volcanic islands in Indonesia, is really the limit of tectonic plates that make up the Old World and New World. Fortify this navigation, in the Atlantis also explicitly mentioned in the description of Plato and other ancient sources on Atlantis.
