Atlantide è il blocco geologico sardo corso semisommerso nell'antico Oceano Atlantico, oggi chiamato Mediterraneo Occidentale

Abstract

Questo articolo esplora l'ipotesi che la Sardegna e la Corsica, note storicamente per essere parte del blocco geologico sardo-corso molto ben studiato e conosciuto dalla geologia ufficiale, possano essere identificate insieme alle loro piattaforme continentali sommerse come l'Atlantide di Platone citate nei due dialoghi platonici di Timeo e Crizia. Viene mostrato il metodo scientifico usato, passo passo, dal Dr. Luigi Usai, mostrando i nessi logici e causali delle singole scoperte. Partendo dall'analisi delle affermazioni di Erodoto riguardanti la Libia e l'Asia, proponiamo che questi termini antichi possano effettivamente riferirsi rispettivamente alla Sardegna e alla Corsica, come segnalato in un altro paper. Inoltre, si considera che le Colonne d'Ercole menzionate da Platone possano essere rappresentate dal "Faraglione Antiche Colonne" di Carloforte, come già identificato dal Prof. Giorgio Saba nel suo libro Scusi, dov'è l'Ade? (Saba, G. (2016). Scusi, dov'è l'Ade?: Ipotesi sulla storia antica della Sardegna. AmicoLibro. ISBN-10: 889968507X. ISBN-13: 978-8899685072. Copertina flessibile.). Se queste teorie sono verificate, emerge la conferma definitiva che il mito di Atlantide sia basato su questa isola geologica semisommersa: Atlantide quindi sarebbe un'isola sommersa solo in parte e non del tutto: due suoi altopiani sarebbero rimasti fuori dall'acqua, formando due isole apparenti, che in seguito presero molti nomi tra cui Ichnussa, Sandaliotis, Cyrne, fino ad arrivare alla denominazione attuale di Sardegna e Corsica. Attraverso un'analisi dettagliata di fonti storiche, geologiche e mitologiche, onomastiche, toponomastiche, batimetriche, linguistiche, religiose, sociologiche e antropologiche, l'articolo intende dimostrare la veridicità di questa ipotesi. Il testo inizia una prima analisi delle colonie sardo corso atlantidee nel Mediterraneo, fornendo le prove scientifiche che dimostrano la presenza dei popoli atlantidei presso altre località, come Motilla del Azuer, Jaén, i Paesi Baschi. Sono anche presenti considerazioni di natura geopolitica, economica, linguistica e di Sicurezza Nazionale conseguenti alla scoperta di Atlantide nel blocco geologico sardo corso semi-sommerso. https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/S36IEQ https://hal.science/hal-04691021 https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi%3A10.7910%2FDVN%2FOYEIHZ

This paper explores the hypothesis that Sardinia and Corsica, historically known to be part of the very well studied Sardinian-Corsican geological block known by official geology, can be identified together with their submerged continental shelves as Plato's Atlantis mentioned in the two Platonic dialogues of Timaeus and Critias. Starting from the analysis of Herodotus' statements regarding Libya and Asia, we propose that these ancient terms may actually refer to Sardinia and Corsica respectively, as reported in another paper. Furthermore, it is considered that the Pillars of Hercules mentioned by Plato may be represented by the "Faraglione Antiche Colonne" of Carloforte, as already identified by Prof. Giorgio Saba in his book Scusi, dov'è l'Ade? (Saba, G. (2016). Excuse me, where is Hades?: Hypotheses on the ancient history of Sardinia. AmicoLibro. ISBN-10: 889968507X. ISBN-13: 978-8899685072. Paperback.). If these theories are verified, the definitive confirmation emerges that the myth of Atlantis is based on this semi-submerged geological island: Atlantis would therefore be an island submerged only partially and not completely: two of its plateaus would have remained out of the water, forming two apparent islands, which later took many names including Ichnussa, Sandaliotis, Cyrne, until arriving at the current names of Sardinia and Corsica. Through a detailed analysis of historical, geological and mythological, onomastic, toponymic, bathymetric, linguistic, religious, sociological and anthropological sources, the article intends to demonstrate the truth of this hypothesis. The text begins a first analysis of the Sardinian-Corsican Atlantean colonies in the Mediterranean, providing scientific evidence that demonstrates the presence of Atlantean peoples in other locations, such as Motilla del Azuer, Jaén, the Basque Country. There are also geopolitical, economic, linguistic and National Security considerations following the discovery of Atlantis in the semi-submerged Sardinian-Corsican geological block. https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/S36IEQ https://hal.science/hal-04691021 https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi%3A10.7910%2FDVN%2FOYEIHZ
