(Dr. Gyan Singh's Point of View.)
We were discussing about different topics. In a few minutes we reached, to Captain Kharatos Krypton. We were afraind of him but the Sea Bishop with us told us not to be afraid. Then he took out a paper and went to The Sea Tornado (Captain Kharatos Krypton's Ship). He came back after 12 minutes. "Let's go captain, he has checked the permit." The Sea Bishop spoke to the Vodyanoy.
"What just happend?" asked Mr. Lakshman Prasad Ganesh Prasad Hanumaan Chettri.
"Nothing, just our permit was checked. Captain Kharatos Krypton works as our security incharge. Whenever someone want to go out of our territory or come in our territory they have to show there permit to Captain Kharatos Krypton." Sea Bishop explaned.
"But how can someone get permit?" Asked Mr. Lakshman Prasad Ganesh Prasad Hanumaan Chettri.
"That's easy. Visit immigration our branch." Sea Bishop replied.
"And where is the branch?" Asked Mr. Lakshman Prasad Ganesh Prasad Hanumaan Chettri.
"Atlantis! (Atlantis is a fictional island mentioned in an allegory on the hubris of nations in Plato's works Timaeus and Critias, wherein it represents the antagonist naval power that besieges "Ancient Athens", the pseudo-historic embodiment of Plato's ideal state in The Republic. In the story, Athens repels the Atlantean attack unlike any other nation of the known world, supposedly bearing witness to the superiority of Plato's concept of a state. The story concludes with Atlantis falling out of favor with the deities and submerging into the Atlantic Ocean. Despite its minor importance in Plato's work, the Atlantis story has had a considerable impact on literature. The allegorical aspect of Atlantis was taken up in utopian works of several Renaissance writers, such as Francis Bacon's New Atlantis and Thomas More's Utopia. On the other hand, nineteenth-century amateur scholars misinterpreted Plato's narrative as historical tradition, most famously Ignatius L. Donnelly in his Atlantis: The Antediluvian World. Plato's vague indications of the time of the events (more than 9,000 years before his time) and the alleged location of Atlantis ("beyond the Pillars of Hercules") gave rise to much pseudoscientific speculation. a consequence, Atlantis has become a byword for any and all supposed advanced prehistoric lost civilizations and continues to inspire contemporary fiction, from comic books to films.
While present-day philologists and classicists agree on the story's fictional character, there is still debate on what served as its inspiration. Plato is known to have freely borrowed some of his allegories and metaphors from older traditions, as he did, for instance, with the story of Gyges. This led a number of scholars to investigate possible inspiration of Atlantis from Egyptian records of the Thera eruption, the Sea Peoples invasion, or the Trojan War. Others have rejected this chain of tradition as implausible and insist that Plato created an entirely fictional account, drawing loose inspiration from contemporary events such as the failed Athenian invasion of Sicily in 415–413 BC or the destruction of Helike in 373 BC.
According to Critias, the Hellenic deities of old divided the land so that each deity might have their own lot; Poseidon was appropriately, and to his liking, bequeathed the island of Atlantis. The island was larger than Ancient Libya and Asia Minor combined, but it was later sunk by an earthquake and became an impassable mud shoal, inhibiting travel to any part of the ocean. Plato asserted that the Egyptians described Atlantis as an island consisting mostly of mountains in the northern portions and along the shore and encompassing a great plain in an oblong shape in the south "extending in one direction three thousand stadia [about 555 km; 345 mi], but across the center inland it was two thousand stadia [about 370 km; 230 mi]." Fifty stadia [9 km; 6 mi] from the coast was a mountain that was low on all sides ... broke it off all round about ... the central island itself was five stades in diameter [about 0.92 km; 0.57 mi].
In Plato's metaphorical tale, Poseidon fell in love with Cleito, the daughter of Evenor and Leucippe, who bore him five pairs of male twins. The eldest of these, Atlas, was made rightful king of the entire island and the ocean (called the Atlantic Ocean in his honor), and was given the mountain of his birth and the surrounding area as his fiefdom. Atlas's twin Gadeirus, or Eumelus in Greek, was given the extremity of the island toward the pillars of Hercules. The other four pairs of twins—Ampheres and Evaemon, Mneseus and Autochthon, Elasippus and Mestor, and Azaes and Diaprepes—were also given "rule over many men, and a large territory."
Poseidon carved the mountain where his love dwelt into a palace and enclosed it with three circular moats of increasing width, varying from one to three stadia and separated by rings of land proportional in size. The Atlanteans then built bridges northward from the mountain, making a route to the rest of the island. They dug a great canal to the sea, and alongside the bridges carved tunnels into the rings of rock so that ships could pass into the city around the mountain; they carved docks from the rock walls of the moats. Every passage to the city was guarded by gates and towers, and a wall surrounded each ring of the city. The walls were constructed of red, white, and black rock, quarried from the moats, and were covered with brass, tin, and the precious metal orichalcum, respectively.
According to Critias, 9,000 years before his lifetime a war took place between those outside the Pillars of Hercules at the Strait of Gibraltar and those who dwelt within them. The Atlanteans had conquered the parts of Libya within the Pillars of Hercules, as far as Egypt, and the European continent as far as Tyrrhenia, and had subjected its people to slavery. The Athenians led an alliance of resistors against the Atlantean empire, and as the alliance disintegrated, prevailed alone against the empire, liberating the occupied lands.)" Replied Sea Bishop.
Then we crossed the next checkpoint the Midgardian Serpent. The serpent didn't attacked us because he was also a gaurd of the Amanaviye Dweep and since Sea Bishop and Vodyanoy were with us and they knew how to control the Midgardian serpent. Some time later we reched to the skeleton shark area. The Sharks came to attack us but Sea Bishop said something in an unknown language and all the sharks went back. Then we reached the last check point the kraken.
The Kraken came out but again the sea bishop said something and it again submerged.
Then we crossed Kraken's area.
"Now our work is done, from here you have to go by yourself." spoke the Vodyanoy.
"But how will we go that far." Asked Mr. Lakshman Prasad Ganesh Prasad Hanumaan Chettri.
"I forgot to tell you, drive this boat. We will take the submarine that is currently attached to the boat. We will eject it and go back using the subamarine." Replied Vodyanoy.
We thanked them. Then the sea bishop entered the submarine.
The Vodyanoy came to me and gave this capsule having, 5 moles of Binilquadoctium.
"What is this?" I asked.
"A mineral that is found only on our island, we call it 'Surya Dhatu' because it is a huge source of energy." Replied the Vodyanoy.
"But why are you giving me this?" I asked.
"Medium leader told me to give it to you, for saving his son's life. Keep it, but please don't tell any human about it or our Island." He replied and went to his submarine. Then they ejected the submarine and went back. I kept that capsule in my pocket. Mr. Ajay Kumar went to helmsman seat. I sat on the right seat while Mr. Lakshman Prasad Ganesh Prasad Hanumaan Chettri sat on the left seat that is opposite to me. Mr. Ajay Kumar started the boat. We begin our journey back.
