ATLANTIS missing INDONESIA ?

.

Indonesia experienced natural DISASTER streak. Starting from the tsunami in Aceh until the recent mudflow in East Java. It is reminiscent of similar events in the region known as the continent of Atlantis. Is there a relationship between Indonesia and Atlantis?
Picture of the continent of Atlantis entirely sourced from Plato Notes (427-347 BC) in the two works, the Timaeus and Critias. in his book entitled Timaeus, Plato tells the story very interesting about Atlantis, Here are excerpts:
"In the presence of Mainstay Haigelisi Strait, there is a very large island, from there you can go to the other islands, in front of the islands are wholly inland sea surrounded by ocean, it is the kingdom of Atlantis. When the new Atlantis will launch a major war with Athens, but unexpectedly, Atlantis suddenly experienced an earthquake and floods, not until the day and night, completely submerged in the sea floor, a large country that goes beyond a high civilization, vanished overnight. "

Latin translation of Timaeus, was made in medieval times.
Plato claimed that tens of thousands of years ago there was a variety of simultaneous volcanic eruptions, earthquakes pose, melting ice, and flooding. The incident resulted in most of the earth's surface to sink. That part is called or the lost continent of Atlantis.

Cutting-edge research conducted by Prof. Arysio Nunes dos Santos, a atlantolog, geologist, and a Brazilian nuclear physicist, asserted that Atlantis was what is now called Indonesia. After doing research for 30 years, he published his findings in a book: Atlantis, The Lost Continent Finally Found, The Definitifve Localization of Plato's Lost Civilization (2005). Santos featuring 33 comparisons, as an area, weather, natural resources, volcanoes, and agricultural practices, which ultimately concluded that Atlantis is Indonesia. Terasisasi system typical Indonesian rice fields, he said, is the form adopted by the Borobudur Temple, Pyramids in Egypt, and ancient buildings Aztecs in Mexico.
Indonesian context

It's no coincidence when Indonesia in 1958, the idea of ​​Prof. Dr.. Mochtar Kusumaatmadja through Law no. 4 Interim Law in 1960, sparked the Declaration Djoeanda. The effect that the country of Indonesia with waters its hinterland is the unity of the archipelago. The fact was later recognized by the Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982. Referring to research Santos, during the tens of thousands of years ago the territory of Indonesia is a continent united. Not fragmented in tens of thousands of islands as it does now.
Santos determined that in the past that Atlantis was a continent that stretches from the south of India, Sri Lanka, Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, continue eastward to Indonesia (which is now) as its center. In the region there are dozens of active volcanoes and surrounded by ocean that blends named Orientale, consisting of the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean.

Plato's theory explains that the lost continent of Atlantis is due to the eruption of a volcano erupting simultaneously. At that time most of the rest of the world was still covered by ice sheets (the Pleistocene). With the outbreak of dozens of volcanoes simultaneously mostly located in the territory of Indonesia (first), then drowned the continent and partly covered by water home from the melting ice. Of which the eruption of Mount Meru in South India and Mount Semeru / Sumeru / Mahameru in East Java. Last volcanic eruption in Sumatra which formed Lake Toba with Somasir island, which is the top of the mountain that erupted at the time. The most devastating eruptions in the future is the Krakatoa volcano (Krakatoa) which breaks part of Sumatra and Java, and others as well as forming the Sunda straits plains.
Atlantis Sanskrit Atala, which means heaven or sighting tower (watch tower), Atalaia (Potugis), Atalaya (Spanish). Plato insisted that the Atlantic at that time was the center of world civilization in the form of culture, natural resources, science / technology, and others. Plato was determined that the location of Atlantis in the Atlantic Ocean now. At the time, he insisted that the earth is flat and surrounded by the ocean (ocean) as a whole.
Ocean derived from the Sanskrit word meaning ashayana surrounds thoroughly. The opinion was later challenged by experts in the future such as Copernicus, Galilei-Galileo, Einstein, and Stephen Hawking.

Map of Atlantis by Arysio Nunes dos Santos in his book Atlantis, The Lost Continent Finally Found is located in Indonesia.
Santos differ with Plato about the location of Atlantis. Brazilian scientists argue, that at the time of the eruption of the volcano range, causing the ice to melt and flow into the ocean so that the extent of increase. Water and mud from the volcanic ash and essentially burdening the ocean, resulting in tremendous pressure on the earth's crust to the ocean floor, particularly on the continental coast. This pressure resulted in the quake. This earthquake reinforced by mountains in a row then erupted and caused devastating tsunami waves. Santos named Heinrich Events.
In an effort to express opinions based on history of the world, looks Plato had made two mistakes, first about the shape / position of the earth which he said flatly. Second, the location of which is said to be the continent of Atlantis in the Atlantic Ocean are opposed by Santos. U.S. military research in the Atlantic region proved unable to find traces of that lost continent. Therefore there is not arbitrary proverb that says, "Amicus Plato, sed magical amica veritas." It means, "I am delighted to Plato, but I am more than happy to truth."
However, there are circumstances present that between Plato and Santos agreed. namely:
first, that the location of the sunken continent of Atlantis and by Santos confirmed as the territory of the Republic of Indonesia.
Second, the number or length of the chain of volcanoes in Indonesia. Of which is Kerinci, Gutters, Krakatoa, Malabar, Galunggung, Pangrango, Merapi, Merbabu, Semeru, Bromo, Supreme, Rinjani. Most of the mountain that has been or is being active again.

Third, the issue of mudflows from the eruption of volcanic ash mixed with sea water to mud. Silt in the sea and then seep into the ground on the mainland. Mud is mixed with natural gas which is impossible barrier of mud (mud barriers that can not be passed), or in navigable (impassable), can not be penetrated or entered. In the case in Sidoarjo, never done remote sensing, remote sensing, which indicates the existence of canalization system in the region. There is a possibility that the former distribution canalization mudflow of the past.

Indonesia is a region that is considered to be the heirs of Atlantis, certainly should make us thankful. Make us not lower ourselves in the international arena, because in his time Atlantis was the center of world civilization. But as the disaster-prone areas, as has been experienced by the Atlantis, it's time we learn from history and take advantage of the latest developments in science to be able to handle it. ***
