Antes de nuestra civilización, ¿hubo muchas otras civilizaciones avanzadas? (Ilustración vía magazin.pluska.sk)

Según los medios portugueses, en 2013, Diocleciano Silva estaba en un barco buscando zonas de pesca en el Océano Atlántico cuando captó una extraña señal de radar.

Después de eso, inmediatamente siguió la señal y descubrió una gran pirámide con la cima ubicada a 12 metros sobre la superficie del mar. La pirámide está situada entre la isla de São Miguel y la isla de Terceira, en el archipiélago de las Azores frente a la costa de Portugal.

This discovery has surprised many people. Since then, experts and archaeologists have spent a lot of time researching this work. They were extremely impressed when they realized that the bottom of the building was a pretty perfect square, with 4 sides facing the 4 main directions (east, west, south, north).

According to data collected via GPS, this pyramid is about 60 meters high and the square base is about 8,000 square meters wide.

Not only scientists, the Portuguese navy also participated in decoding the mysteries of this project. After a long period of examination and dating analysis, experts said that this structure sank to the bottom of the sea about 20,000 years ago. Therefore its age must be at least over 20,000 years.

Researchers believe that the pyramid lying under the sea is the remains of an advanced civilization in the past that we have never known about.

Some people believe that this is most likely a relic of the legendary Atlantis civilization. According to philosopher Plato, Atlantis was a land larger than Libya and Asia combined, located in the Atlantic Ocean. This place once possessed the ultimate civilization, but after the people’s morality became increasingly corrupt, even those who dared to blaspheme the gods were sunk to the bottom of the ocean.

Coincidentally, the Azores archipelago lies around faults between the North American, Eurasian and African tectonic plates, suggesting underlying instability.

Not long after the pyramid under the Portuguese seabed was discovered, archaeologists from the Portuguese Archaeological Research Association (APIA) continued to find archaeological evidence showing that humans once inhabited the Azores archipelago thousands of years before the Portuguese discovered the archipelago in 1427. Evidence includes numerous pyramidal stone structures, some as tall as 13 meters.

In 2012, archaeologists also discovered some rock art on Terceira Island, which they believe is thousands of years old.

In the last three years, many ancient archaeological remains were also identified on all nine islands of the Azores archipelago. These include a Roman-era monument, Carthaginian sanctuaries, cave paintings and megalithic structures.

These evidences further support the hypothesis that there once existed an ancient civilization in the Azores archipelago, and perhaps it was the civilization that built the giant pyramid on the seabed.

According to most current scientists, humans are a species of creatures that appeared no more than 2 to 3 million years ago. And according to evolutionary theory, the formation of human civilization has not exceeded the scope of 10,000 years ago.

Entonces, ¿quién creó la pirámide bajo el mar hace 20.000 años? Este descubrimiento nos obliga una vez más a reescribir los orígenes y la historia de la humanidad. Antes de nuestra civilización, hubo otras civilizaciones avanzadas que por alguna razón perecieron.
