They have been looking for Atlantis for so long that they managed to try on almost all continents and islands for it. There were very bright hypotheses, there were dimmer ones, but they all did not convince mankind that the legendary Atlantis had finally been found. And then the eyes of researchers
Information about the subglacial system of lakes and strange formations reminiscent of ancient cities made scientists take more seriously rumors about amazing encounters that periodically come from the Ice Continent, writes M. Burleshin. Soon, articles began to appear that the system of interconnected subglacial lakes in Antarctica was inhabited not only by people, but also by strange creatures. Journalists dubbed one of them the monster Horvits, after the polar explorer A. Gorvits, who met the monster in the summer of 1960 during a hike from Amundsen-Scott station to the hypothetical cold pole. At one of the stops, the researchers missed the magnetologist Stoppard. The traces left by the scientists led to a crack. In the depths, on the cornice, the sprawled figure of a man was guessed. Horvits descended into the crack. Held by climbing ropes, he sank deeper and deeper into the darkness and finally reached the cornice. Only a fur glove and stains of frozen blood were found on it. The body itself disappeared.
The winter that year was harsh. The temperature on Amundsen-Scott dropped to 70 degrees, and the cold wind made it unbearable. They went outside only in the most extreme cases. On July 6, a misfortune happened: Art Short and Kenneth Millar left and did not return. On the third day, when the wind died down, in a mile and a half from the station, the clothes and flesh of the missing scientists were found, their bones disappeared. Something, having killed people, consumed only bones.
Several weeks passed, and Horwitz himself met with an unknown creature. In the light of the moon, the scientist noticed an approaching huge white bat! Having shot all the cartridges of his pistol, Horwitz was able to drive away the terrible animal.
In the country beyond North Borey
This is how the ancient Greeks wrote about the legendary civilization in the northern polar region. Bearing in mind that the magic land is located even further than those places in which the god of the north wind dwells. Searches for Hyperborea-Arctida in the Russian North showed that, most likely, a developed civilization existed here in hoary antiquity. Traces of it were found in Taimyr, the Kola Peninsula, the Southern Urals (the ancient city of Arkaim), etc. Here, during the Atlantean era, the legendary Aryan people lived. He is the ancestor of almost all European nations, Iran, India and other countries in the world. The legends of the Aryans were carefully preserved by the inhabitants of India. Studying them, scientists managed to restore the appearance of this civilization that died many thousands of years ago.
In this northern country, a star stood high above the horizon, to which the northern axis of the globe pointed, writes Mikhail Burleshin, candidate of geological and mineralogical sciences. The polar day and night lasted for several months, separated by sunrise and sunset, the duration of which reached 30 days. Sometimes the darkness of the long night broke through with the northern lights. The fact that the northern polar region was warm and convenient for the existence of a developed civilization is evidenced by the opinions of paleoclimatologists E. Borisenkov and V. Pasetsky, who pointed out that rapid global warming of the climate began about 13 thousand years before our era. Subarctic forests have shifted 300 kilometers north of the polar border. And then a terrible event for the whole Earth happened: the climate in the northern polar region changed dramatically. Everywhere in Siberia,Yakutia find cemeteries of unexpectedly dead northern elephants and mammoths. Radiocarbon analysis of organic remains allows us to determine the time of their death 1112 thousand years ago. This coincides in time with the time of the catastrophe that destroyed Atlantis.
So, in the polar region 1012 thousand years ago it was warm, and there were all the conditions for the development of civilization. There was not only a vast land for settlement. But such a land existed on the opposite side, in Antarctica. And its area was approximately the same as Plato spoke of: a huge island, equal in size to the part of Asia known to the ancient Greeks.
Old maps of Antarctica
“In the model of modern scientists, the glaciation of this continent began about 812 thousand years ago. Before that, Antarctica was no different from the rest of the world: there were forests and mountains, rivers and lakes.
The second map was drawn by the French mathematician and geographer Orontius Finney. It depicts Antarctica completely free of ice. The outlines of the mainland are almost one to one coincide with the maps compiled by modern specialists. It turns out that Finney, as it were, saw through the ice without instruments capes, mountain peaks, river mouths, hidden today by an ice shell. To draw up such a map, our contemporaries took many decades of hard work. The thought suggests itself that the map was most likely compiled by people who lived in Antarctica before the start of glaciation. You have no idea how many conclusions can be drawn with just one card in hand, if you know what to look for and how to look. The Antarcts were excellent sailors and on their ships reached the Mediterranean Sea, waged trade and wars with the local peoples.1012 thousand years ago, a global catastrophe occurred on Earth: some believe that a giant meteorite fell on the planet, perhaps something else happened, which is still unknown. The climate has changed dramatically, with the polar regions hitting the hardest. On the northern lands, located at a considerable distance from the pole, the changes were not so catastrophic. The Aryans who lived there were forced out by cold and glaciation to more favorable territories for life. The southern region, Antarctica, is less fortunate; it is located right at the pole and, moreover, is cut off from other continents by oceans. 3 Here the consequences for its inhabitants were disastrous. The changed climate led to the death of fauna and vegetation. The inhabitants had nowhere to retreat, and their civilization perished, buried under the mountains of rapidly growing glaciers. From the Antarctic civilization in the memory of the peoples who inhabited the shores of the Mediterranean in antiquity, the legends about the existence of the rich country of Atlantis with extensive knowledge, and individual elements of its culture, have been preserved. Perhaps the impending global warming will become the archaeologist who will reveal to us the secrets of an ancient civilization. And we will finally reveal the secret of Atlantis.
Hitler's Secret Expedition
But the speculative research of theorists was not limited to. There were people who saw practical sense in the search for Antarctic Atlantis. That was Hitler. On the eve of World War II, the Fuhrer attached great importance to mysticism and ancient knowledge preserved from perished civilizations. In search of this knowledge, he organized expeditions to Tibet, South America, Greenland and Antarctica. A specially equipped vessel, a specially trained team, special research equipment and technology were all thrown into the storm of the secrets of Antarctica. In January 1939, a ship called Schwabenland safely reached the coast of the Ice Continent.
Almost a quarter of Antarctica was surveyed and photographed. The pilots did more than just survey and photography. At the same time, pennants with a swastika sign were dropped from planes every 25 kilometers. Fascist Germany declared itself the master of a vast territory called New Swabia (now the Land of Queen Maud). Further, the secret development of the ice continent began: German submarines secretly headed to the shores of Antarctica. The world learned about all this only after the Second World War from the secret archives of the SS. It turned out that the submarines discovered the entrances to the system of giant caves located under the ice. The groups sent to explore them saw an underground world with lakes and vegetation, with such warm air that it was possible to be in caves without winter clothing. What else was found there is unknown:either the Germans did not have time to properly study the under-ice world, or trouble happened to the researchers Reporting on the results of the expedition, Karl Dönitz (Grand Admiral, Commander of the German Navy since 1943, Hitler's successor / May 1945 /, creator and the head of the German submarine fleet) uttered a mysterious phrase: My submariners discovered a real earthly paradise.
For a long time, the existence of huge caves under the ice of Antarctica was considered incredible. But the results of the latest studies carried out in the area of the subglacial Lake Vostok force us to take this information more seriously.

A country under the ice
Lake Vostok, the encyclopedias tell us, is located 480 kilometers from the South Pole. In terms of area (15,000 square kilometers), it is not inferior to such huge lakes as Onega and Chad. Its greatest depth is 1200 meters. Devices installed on artificial earth satellites showed that above the lake surface there is a cavity covered with an ice dome up to 800 meters high. The water temperature in the lake ranges from 10 to 18 degrees Celsius, and there are some sources of heat in its depths. Analyzing the data of the instruments, some scientists have suggested that a self-cleaning atmosphere may exist in the under-ice cavity and, possibly, there is vegetation.

Several weeks passed, and Horwitz himself met with an unknown creature. In the light of the moon, the scientist noticed an approaching huge white bat! Having shot all the cartridges of his pistol, Horwitz was able to drive away the terrible animal.
As you can imagine, such stories were called fables by serious scientists and attributed to the mental disorders of the expedition participants, arising after difficult trips on the Antarctic ice.
What kind of animals were they? And where did the rumors come from about some white people living in the under-ice cities? This is described by the hypothesis of the American historian, Professor Charles Hapgood, who explains where the Piri Reis map came from. According to Hapgood, the map came to the admiral from the archives of the Byzantine emperors, into which for many centuries ancient maps and scrolls from all corners of the great empire were brought. Reis's diary notes that the map is based on materials from the times of Alexander the Great. Hapgood believes the map was drawn by the inhabitants of Antarctica 15,000 years ago.
A professor from the United States believes that a global catastrophe occurred on Earth about 12,500 years ago. Perhaps, as mentioned above, it was associated with the fall of a giant meteorite. The disaster was accompanied by earthquakes, floods, and a sharp cold snap. The cities and villages of Antarctica were buried under a kilometer thick layer of ice, civilization perished. This catastrophe affected the entire globe: the earth's axis shifted, glaciation in Europe stopped, glaciers moved to the north, and the Arctic Ocean emerged.
Antarcts were forced to settle in other warmer continents. They became enlighteners who came to tribes that were at a low level of development, and brought with them legends about a lost continent and a country of the highest culture. They tell about the omnipotent white gods or heroes who sailed and sometimes flew to them on amazing ships and brought people amazing knowledge.
Climate change did not occur in an instant, but gradually, stretching over tens and even hundreds of years. Therefore, perhaps not all Antarctas left their homeland. Some of the people, using their knowledge and technology, could adapt to the harsh climate and switch to the ice-cold lifestyle. This assumption is confirmed by words from a recently published book by the German researcher G.-U. von Krantz Swastika in the ice. Secret Nazi base in Antarctica. It says that the German scientist Otto Gott was seconded to the Ice Continent to establish contact with the Antarcts, who prepared a special message, made in the form of pictograms with offers of friendship and cooperation. The message was delivered to the Antarctic by the Boers. If the drill, having made a hole in the ice, fell through, then a capsule with a message was lowered into it. But,despite all the efforts of German scientists, the Antarctic did not respond to this proposal.
Does anyone know more than what Krantz said?
