Mysterious Lost Civilizations: A Glimpse into Our Past
This video explores various mysterious lost civilizations that offer fascinating insights into the history of humanity. Below is a summary of its key points:
The Lost Continent of Loria
The legend of Loria dates back to 1864 when zoologist Philip Sclater discovered lemur fossils in India and Madagascar but not in Africa. To explain this phenomenon, he proposed the existence of a lost continent called Lemuria. In the 1960s, the scientific community accepted the theory of plate tectonics, which supported Sclater’s hypothesis. However, the existence of Lemuria and its connection to human civilization remains an enduring mystery.
The Tribal Kingdom of Bolivia
This kingdom is located in the Yungas valleys and is home to around 2,000 people. The inhabitants are descendants of West Africans who were enslaved by the Spanish in the 16th century. They established a small kingdom in 1820, which continued to exist even after slavery was abolished. In 2007, the Bolivian government officially recognized the kingdom of Yungas.
Ancient City of Circ Cap in Armenia
Once a prosperous urban center, Circ Cap was destroyed by an earthquake. Today, its ruins serve as an open-air museum where visitors can learn about the city’s rich history.
Thracian Tomb of King Suis III in Bulgaria
This tomb is one of the most impressive ever discovered, dating back to the 4th century BCE. It belonged to King Suis III, who ruled the Odian kingdom during that time. The Adrians, originating from the Thracians, controlled much of southern Europe from the Danube to the Black Sea. They were a formidable power in the region until they were conquered by Alexander the Great.
