The development and evolution of human beings is actually the process of constantly understanding the world, from the first shivering little pitiful on the African savannah, and now with the clever brain shell, we have stood at the top of the food chain, footprints all over the world, mountains, oceans, deserts, grasslands, rainforests have human legends.
Among the many environments on Earth, the ocean is the most mysterious and fascinating existence, and "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" describes the story of a group of people riding the Nautilus around the underwater world, and the novelty and excitement are desirable.
And in the real world there is also the Nautilus, it is a deep-sea exploration ship, built in France in 1984, since the investment has been more than 1700 times, the current exploration ship by the non-profit marine exploration trust operation, each dive will be live broadcast, the public can see the scenery of the underwater world, often find some interesting marine animals.
In April 2022, the Nautilus exploration vessel arrived at the "Papahanam Kokea National Monument" in the northwestern Part of the Hawaiian Islands as planned to conduct a probe study on one of the areas called Liliʻuokalani Ridge.
The Nautilus exploration team intended to study the geological composition and evolution of the seamount in the area, as well as the distribution of organisms, and during the exploration of the Nutka Seamount, a "road" was found at the top of the seamount at a depth of 1029 meters, similar to being laid with bricks.
The team calls it the "Yellow Brick Road" or "the road to Atlantis," and it's common to see scenes like this on land, but it would be crazy and weird to appear in an underwater world thousands of meters deep.
You can see a small area in the picture, which is uneven and scattered with stones, which looks like a road paved with turns, and the research team laughs at where does this road lead?
If such a scene appeared on land, we would think that it was a historical site, buried in ancient times, so if there is such a possibility in the deep sea world?
The first thing that comes to mind when many people see such a scene is the prehistoric civilization, the Atlantean civilization or the Lemerian civilization mentioned in many legends, etc., but the existence of these civilizations has so far been speculation and fiction, and there is no conclusive evidence that they once existed.
Although the earth's organisms originated in the primitive ocean, so far the marine ecosystem is also the most diverse place of life on the earth, but the 3.8 billion years of life history of the earth, only the emergence of human beings this intelligent civilization, the so-called prehistoric civilization, the seabed civilization, the geocentric civilization, etc., most of them are just fictional stories, it is indeed able to satisfy our exploration psychology, but it is not scientifically untenable.
So who built this "yellow brick road"?
If the "yellow brick road" is a man-made object, then the immature can only be an ancient relic with the changes of the world, and finally covered by the sea, if this is really the answer, then it will not be just this small piece of "yellow brick road" so simple, there will be a lot of discoveries, there are not.
Then the biggest possibility is still natural formation, many people have overlooked the location of the discovery of the "Yellow Brick Road", it is near the submarine volcano, the so-called seamount is the mountain range under the seabed, many of which are formed by the eruption of submarine volcanoes. During the eruption of submarine volcanoes, they are cooled by seawater, and some volcanic rock fragments will soon be cooled down and sink above the seabed.
The "yellow brick road" found on the seabed this time is a volcanic rock fragment, which may have been formed by stacking different fragments at the beginning, or it may be a whole piece of volcanic rock that has undergone a process of thermal expansion and contraction, and finally fractured into its current appearance.
Nature is fascinating, not only in the underwater world, but also in the strange scenery of natural formation. This is even the case on Mars, for example, the "stone gate" on Mars, which has attracted more attention in recent times, is a picture taken by NASA's Curiosity rover, which looks really like a door, but we know that there is no life on Mars, and it can only be naturally formed.
Such an explanation is naturally not the answer that many people want, but in this real world, the answer is often so simple.
