Maybe Atlantis Being in Indonesia?

Review:liewie
The story of Atlantis continues to be a mystery since described the philosopher Plato more than 2000 years ago. He describes Atlantis as a city that has a high culture, and nature is very beautiful. In his notes, Plato wrote of Atlantis lying opposite the pillars of Hercules and has a navy conquered Western Europe and Africa 9000 years before the time of Solon, or approximately 9500 years BC. After failing to attack Greece, Atlantis sank into the ocean in just one day and a night.
Atlantis is generally regarded as a myth created to illustrate Plato''s political theory. The story of Atlantis is less known in the Middle Ages, but, in the modern era, the story of Atlantis was rediscovered. Plato''s description inspired the works of Renaissance writers, such as the New Atlantis by Francis Bacon. Atlantis also affect the modern literature, from science fiction to comic books and movies. His name has become a byword for all the advanced prehistoric civilization and lost.
Research conducted by Santos Arysio surprising results. He called Atlantis in the territory of Indonesia. He wrote his findings in the book Atlantis, The Lost Continent Finally Found, The Definitive Localization of Plato''s Lost Civilization (2005). Atlantis was an island or a continent first mentioned by Plato in the dialogue work entitled Timaeus and Critias in 360 BC. Critias dialogue contains a lot of descriptive information about the characteristics of Atlantis.
Akeologi curator of history at the University of New York the most widely studied of Atlantis, Charles Orser called Google Earth discovery was very unusual. "This is the first time the most powerful location of Atlantis as described by Plato. It is worthy of further investigation," he said. He added Atlantis is one of the main goals of archeology in the world. If Atlantis is found, it will be the greatest achievement in history. Peter Birch, Google Earth Product Manager said it was a lot of great discoveries Google Earth.

For example, virgin forests in Mozambique coast line of reefs in Australia, and the rest of the ancient Roman settlement. But on the map underwater Atlantis is estimated as wrong. For that case, Birch said that users see trace data collection process. Bathymetric (sea surface) are often collected from a boat using sonar to measure the seabed. "The line reflects the boat as mengumpukan data," he said. Maybe Atlantis was located in Indonesia, as estimated by Santos. On the website he revealed atlan.org, in the past that Atlantis was a continent that stretches from southern India, Sri Lanka, Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, to the east.
Plato''s theory explains that the continent of Atlantis was destroyed by the eruption of volcanoes erupting simultaneously. Among the most violent eruption was Krakatoa. Santos compare, a typical system pesawahan Indonesia, adopted by the Borobudur Temple, Pyramids in Egypt, and ancient buildings Aztecs in Mexico. Santos did research for 30 years to produce that conclusion.

This part of the country is widely renowned for its ‘never-go-out-of-style’ beaches, scenic beauty, enthralling nightlife, and a laid-back atmosphere.

Moving on to the east side, we have the City of Gold - Johannesburg, the largest and wealthiest city of South Africa.

A trip to the country is incomplete without a visit to the local breweries and vineyards. Various wine and food festivals also keep happening throughout the year.

Man in Africa & His Literature

Summary:bali
Previous Page continent.
Migrations in historic and prehistoric times have taken people, along with their cultural creations, from one edge of Africa to another. Since ancient times traders have journeyed back and forth between inner Africa and the ocean shores. River highways and camel caravans have carried not only men and goods, but information, Tradition, tales and beliefs. Today a story told among the Ivory Coast Baoule also may be heard among the Amazulu far to the south. The trickster hare of Zaire performs the same clever mischief as the spider trickster in Ghana and Togo. Many of the musical instruments of West Africa are equally known in the east and south. And while the music of Central Africa may have local characteristics, it nevertheless belongs to a general musical system on which diverse peoples such as the Ashanti of Ghana, the Shangaan of South Africa and the Kamba of Kenya also draw for their music making. Even where Islamic or European influence has intruded and hybridized the sound, the overall African character can be readily recognized. So, too, with dancing, the arts of orating and storytelling, and games played by adults and children. There is no part of the continent that does not know some variant of the counting game played with beans or stones on carved playing boards, and known under the names wari, munkala, adi and many others.
Though religious systems vary, there is a general ized African view regarding the forces of nature. Throughout much of West, Central, East and Southern Africa there prevails (except where initiated by European influence) the concept of a total world made up of the seen and the unseen, of forces that for all their invisibility are none the less real and which must be coped with through rituals and magico-religious means.

The goodwill of the ancestors is vital to the well-being of the living, and the dead are therefore supplicated and placated by an unending series of individual acts and prescribed rituals. While contacts with Islam and Christianity have moderated such concepts, the African view of a partly seen, partly unseen universe remains strong. The invocation of a Christian saint is not regarded as greatly different from appeals to one''s ancestors; nor, to many is the Christian God, remote and invisible, incompatible with the supreme sky deities who live in the traditions of the Yoruba, the Ashanti, the Bantu cultures of Central Africa, and others. Intruding non-African religious systems have themselves vouched for the existence of a physical world surrounded by spiritual forces, reinforcing what earlier generations of Africans saw as the real nature of the universe. Thus the oral literature of Africa reflects ideas, themes, suppositions and truths that are widely shared, at the same time that it reveals creations unique to, and particularized by, a tribe, village or region. A tribe may be united with a mainstream of African traditions and yet have legends of its own heroes, kings and demigods, its own conflicts and migrations, and its unique ancient origins. A village may reshape, to its own liking, a widespread tale- A narrator may embellish, recast and refine stories known elsewhere and give them the mark of his own creative genius, or compose

Uganda - The Pearl Of Africa Glows Again

Uganda - The Pearl Of Africa Glows Again


Uganda is a beautiful country with an impressive people. This is one of my favorite countries in all of Africa. The people of Uganda have survived the troubles of 1967-86 period and emerged standing upright and wearing a smile. In that short period, the country suffered under the caprice of two despicable despots. One was the indisputably insane Idi Amin and the other, the arguably insane Milton Obote.

This is now history - a testament to the dignity and endurance of this people. The transformation of the country in the period since normalcy returned is nothing short of astounding. And it shows in the faces of the people you meet. That the graceful beauties of Uganda have not received the recognition they deserve in international beauty pageants is for me incontrovertible proof that most of these events are really fixed.

Winston Churchill was so besotted by the country that he gave it the name that has endured: the Pearl of Africa . His observations about Uganda remain true today: The scenery is different, the vegetation is different, the climate is different, and, most of all, the people are different from anything elsewhere ...in the whole range of Africa .

Travelers to Uganda are drawn by its stunning landscape - green rolling hills, snowcapped mountains, rainforests, majestic rivers and massive lakes. There are also a number of outstanding national parks for your safari encounter with the wildlife for which Africa is renowned. Unfortunately, I have to advise you to skip Kidepo Valley -a well-resourced park in the north, as it is not considered safe. The country’s edge as a worthwhile destination is further enhanced by its endowments for white water rafting and sport fishing. Tour operators have on offer a variety of Uganda safari and tour packages.


Gorilla tracking is limited to small groups and the licenses are issued to ensure minimum disruption to the routine of the animals. Tracking gorillas is an arduous task and you should be prepared for up to 8 hours of hiking. Good physical condition is a must. You are advised to make arrangements 4-12 months prior to the date of your visit. Bwindi is essentially a rain forest and it is necessary to bring along a raincoat, walking boots and gloves.

Though not as famous for safari as neighboring Kenya and Tanzania, Uganda still has some pretty good game sanctuaries. The 3,840 sq. km Murchison Falls National Park is the largest and most spectacular of them. Aside from game, it is renowned for its scenic beauty. Rolling savannah, tall grasslands and thick bush woodlands make up the park. But you are advised not to miss out the magnificent waterfalls after which the park is named. The waterfall is formed where the Nile tapers from 50 metres to rush through a 7-metre gorge, falling 45 metres in a breath-taking leap. This phenomenon is said to be the most powerful natural flow of water anywhere on Earth.

Traveling from Kampala to the Queen Elizabeth or Bwindi, most visitors break at Lake Mburo National Park. The park is 230 km west of Kampala along the Mbarara road and is the most accessible in the country. It is a very attractive park of rolling hills, open grassy valleys, interspersed with thickets, woodlands and rich wetlands. In addition to viewing game including zebra, cape buffalo and eland, you can relax by taking a boat trip on Lake Mburo.


Mount Elgon sits by the Kenyan border and is the shell of an ancient volcano. The main attractions here are the waterfalls, caves that were once used by indigenous people, hot springs, the mountains vegetation, the various peaks, the Suam Gorge and the caldera itself. After millions of years of erosion, the oval shaped caldera now measures roughly 7 by 8 kms, one of the largest in the world.

The traveler with a sense of history will want to visit the Source of the Nile at Jinja. Jinja is 60 km to the north east of Kampala and is easily accessible byy road. This is where the White Nile begins, as it exits Lake Victoria on its 5,600 km journey to the Mediterranean. The source of the Nile was a thousand year old mystery that was decisively settled by the explorer John Speke in 1862.

If you want to drive around Uganda, you need to show an international drivers license to hire a vehicle. Rental cars in Uganda are available in Entebbe and Kampala. Roads radiate from Kampala and are of varying quality. In the north of the country the security situation is still doubtful and so are the roads. Its is a good idea if you are on self drive to get local advise about the condition the roads you intend to use.

Uganda enjoys a tropical climate tempered by altitude. The hottest period of the year is from December to February when temperature rise to 29 degrees Celsius. For the rest of the year, temperatures range between 21 to 25°C.The country experiences two rainy seasons: April to May and October to November, with April being the wettest month. The best times to visit are December-March and June-September. Light informal clothing is generally adequate. But you need warmer wraps and sweaters for the evenings and early mornings. You are also advised to carry some rainwear, just in case.

Frigidaire FAD504DWD Energy Star 50-pint Dehumidifier

Frigidaire FAD504DWD energy star 50-pint Dehumidifier protects our homes from odor and mildew caused by excess a damp.
The fan on my FAD504DWD Frigidaire Energy Star 50 - pint dehumidifier , unlike my Whirlpool e - Humidifier (which sounds like a prop plane on a windy day ) is muted , and can not be heard from two rooms down - and this is with the fan settings on HIGH .With a dehumidifier, the warm coil is inside, so the air cooled by the cooling coil blows across the warm coil (one fan needed).
The net result is that air discharged from the dehumidifier leaves the unit at about 100F [or about 20F warmer than room temperature].
What happens is that a dehumidifier does a better job removing moisture from the air but does not cool the houseDehumidifier must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective.
Dehumidifier effectiveness depends on the rate at which the moisture-laden air enters the room new.
A dehumidifier operating in a basement will have little or no drying effect of the adjacent enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of air in and out of the area.
