From The Eye Of Africa To The Floating Island Of Atlantis In The Sargasso Sea

Beskrivelse

Join an extraordinary journey tracing a lost culture from the Eye of Africa in Mauritania to the mysterious floating islands of Atlantis in the Sargasso Sea. This voyage uncovers a seafaring people who adapted to dramatic environmental changes and left a lasting mark on ancient history.

Exploring the rise, migration, and legacy of a remarkable oceanic culture linked to the myth of Atlantis.

The adventure begins with a group investigating a vanished society that once thrived near the Eye of Africa, where the drying of the Sahara forced communities to gather by a nearby river. Similar to developments in Egypt’s Eastern Sahara, these people crafted their own unique culture and became skilled sailors navigating the North Atlantic gyre.

As further droughts and calamities struck, this culture increasingly took to the sea, creating floating islands within their shrinking river delta. Eventually, these islands and their inhabitants fully embraced a seaborne existence.

Following their trail through Bermuda, the Azores, and Madeira, it becomes evident that they relocated their floating islands to the tranquil waters of the Sargasso Sea, establishing a distinctive oceanic culture there.

Evidence reveals that this maritime society maintained contact with Bronze Age civilizations of the Eastern Mediterranean, participating in the trade networks that supported those cultures. Their floating island settlements in the heart of the ocean inspired the legend of a great maritime kingdom lost to a cataclysm, widely believed to be the Atlantis described by Plato.

Ultimately, the investigation uncovers a clear link between the collapse of this Atlantean culture and the arrival of the Sea Peoples during the Bronze Age collapse in the Eastern Mediterranean, shedding new light on this enigmatic period in history.
