"Captain, there's a road here!"
The captain of the Nautilus looked underwater in astonishment, and with the help of the submersible's light, he could clearly see a golden "road" on the bottom of the sea.
This yellow-brick road, unlike the surrounding coral, is reminiscent of the legend of the lost civilization of Atlantis, but is it really just a relic of a prehistoric civilization?
1. Yellow Brick Road.
In 1968, while on a mission in the Pacific Ocean, the French exploration vessel Nautilus was lucky enough to discover the landform known locally as the "Teck Yellow Brick Road".
The "road" appears to be about a hundred meters wide and is paved with many yellow bricks, which in turn seem to have solidified some kind of yellow material.
Locals say the road was made of gold by a local tribal deity, hence the yellow color.
But the captain thinks that this road is a relic of prehistoric civilization, otherwise, who will produce these yellow bricks, and who will pave these bricks all over this road?
Ever since the Nautilus discovered the Yellow Brick Road, the road has been worshipped and worshipped by the locals as a mysterious being, and in the 21st century, with the development of technology, people have begun to wonder what these bricks are.
Some people thought that the Yellow Brick Road was just a unique natural feature, but this claim was quickly dismissed, as there was almost no such yellow ore in the Pacific Ocean, and there were no natural conditions that could create a strange structure like the Yellow Brick Road.
According to the captain's speculation, the yellow brick road may be a remnant of a prehistoric civilization, but this theory is also considered impossible by some.
After all, the history of human beings is only hundreds of thousands of years, while the history of the earth is billions of years, how could humans, as the weakest species on the planet, have the ability to perform such a remarkable feat tens of thousands of years ago?
As a result, an even more mystical theory has been proposed, suggesting that the Yellow Brick Road is a relic of the lost civilization of Atlantis.
In order to confirm his suspicions, the captain deliberately went to a university in Paris after returning to France, and hired a marine geologist to certify it.
The marine geologist quickly determined that the "bricks" were not actually bricks, but rather fault flows of vitreousiclastic rocks, a type of rock associated with volcanoes and volcanic eruptions.
Therefore, the yellow brick road is only a naturally formed structure associated with volcanic activity and has nothing to do with prehistoric remains.
2. Scientific exploration.
People's curiosity about unknown phenomena often gives rise to many beautiful legends, and in nature, there are also many phenomena that are difficult to explain and understand.
These phenomena often spark curiosity and give rise to a wide range of speculations and explanations.
However, it is only through the scientific method that these natural phenomena can be rationally explored and explained.
Science is an important way for human beings to understand the natural world, which is based on logical reasoning and empirical observation to study and explore natural phenomena.
The scientific method requires people to observe and experiment with natural phenomena with an open mind through scientific theories and techniques, so as to reveal the essence of natural phenomena.
In the process of scientific exploration, people often encounter many unknown phenomena, which often make people feel mysterious and incredible.
However, it is this unknown phenomenon that stimulates people's curiosity and keeps people exploring and exploring, thus advancing science.
With the development of science and technology, people's understanding of the natural world has been deepened, and many once unexplained phenomena have been unveiled by scientific methods one by one.
For example, many of the "monsters" and "miracles" that appear in ancient legends and myths have been shown to be just natural phenomena, such as the legendary sea dragon is actually just a fish animal called a seahorse, and many legendary "fire dragons" and "divine dragons" are actually just volcanic eruptions.
Therefore, in the face of the many unknown and inexplicable phenomena that exist in nature, we should keep an open mind and explore and explain them through the scientific method.
It is the progress of science and the development of technology that have provided people with new ways and tools to solve the mysteries of many natural phenomena.
For example, using satellite remote sensing technology, scientists have discovered many unknown geological structures on the earth, such as submarine canyons, volcanic islands, etc., and the discovery of these geological structures has provided new clues and evidence for people to study the internal structure of the earth in depth.
With the help of geologists, we have also gained a deeper understanding of many natural phenomena on Earth, such as vitreous clastic rocks and submarine fault currents found on submarine volcanic islands, which we can deduce are likely to have been formed by volcanic activity.
Not only that, the relics of prehistoric civilizations left in many ancient civilizations are often related to the local geological conditions and natural environment.
Therefore, it is only through the scientific method that we will be able to rationally explore and explain these natural phenomena without attributing them to the mysterious or supernatural.
3. Explore the mysteries of nature.
Thousands of years ago, ancient people were full of curiosity and fear of many unknown and inexplicable phenomena in the natural world, so they made up many myths and legends to explain these phenomena.
These myths and legends often feature many "mysterious" characters and things, such as legendary "gods" and "monsters", as well as the "miracles" and "disasters" they make.
However, with the deepening of human understanding of the natural world, many once mysterious phenomena have been unveiled one by one by scientific methods, for example, many natural disasters that were once considered "miracles", such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, have been proven to be just a phenomenon of nature.
Many of the "gods" and "monsters" described in ancient legends and myths, such as the legendary "dragons" and "sea beasts", have also been shown to be just natural phenomena that ancient people could not understand.
Science is a rational method of exploring and explaining natural phenomena, which is based on logical reasoning and empirical observation, and studies and explores natural phenomena.
Under the guidance of the scientific method, we can rationally explore and explain many natural phenomena, so as to reveal the mysteries of the natural world.
However, there are still many unknown and inexplicable phenomena in nature, for example, many "mysterious" phenomena that appear in ancient legends and myths, such as the legendary "dragons" and "miracles", and the unknown remains of prehistoric civilizations left in many ancient civilizations.
These unknown phenomena often arouse curiosity and give rise to all sorts of speculations and explanations, but it is only through the scientific method that we can rationally explore and explain.
It is the scientific method that guides people to continue to study the natural world in depth, so as to reveal the mysteries of the natural world and promote the deepening of human cognition and understanding of the world.
epilogue
Although there are many unknown and inexplicable phenomena in nature, continuous scientific exploration and knowledge accumulation can reveal the mysteries of the natural world.
We should seize the opportunity of scientific exploration and continue to study natural phenomena in depth, so as to promote the deepening of human knowledge and understanding of the world.
Chen Cheng
We should actively promote the development of science and the progress of technology, so as to provide us with the possibility of deeper exploration, and perhaps solve more mysteries of the natural world in the future.
