Indonesia is the Lost Continent of Atlantis | natural disaster experienced by Indonesia streak. Starting from the tsunami a few years ago in Aceh until the latest hot mudflow in East Java. It was reminiscent of similar events in the region known as the continent of Atlantis. Is there a relationship between Indonesia and Atlantis?
Plato (427-347 BC) stated that tens of thousands of years ago there was a wide range of simultaneous volcanic eruption, cause earthquakes, melting ice, and flooding. The incident resulted in the majority of the earth's surface to sink. That part is called the lost continent or Atlantis.

It's no coincidence when Indonesia in 1958, the idea of Prof. Dr. Mochtar Kusumaatmadja through Law no. 4 Government Regulations 1960, sparked Djoeanda Declaration. The effect that the waters of Indonesia with its hinterland is the unity of the archipelago. The fact was later recognized by the International Law of the Sea Convention 1982 research Referring Santos, during which tens of thousands of years ago the territory of Indonesia is a unified continent. Not fragmented in the tens of thousands of islands as it does now.
Santos determined that in the past that Atlantis was a continent that stretches from southern India, Sri Lanka, Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, continue eastward to Indonesia (which is now) as its center. In the region there are dozens of active volcanoes and surrounded by the ocean that blends named Orientale, consisting of the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.
Plato's theory explains that the lost continent of Atlantis is a result of volcanic eruptions that erupt simultaneously. At that time most of the world was still covered by ice sheets (the Pleistocene). With the eruption of the volcano dozens simultaneously, mostly located in the territory of Indonesia (used) it, then tenggelamlah continent and partly covered by water from melting ice. Among these eruptions of Mount Meru in South India and Mount Semeru in East Java. Then a volcanic eruption in Sumatra which formed Lake Toba with Samosir island, which is the peak of the mountain that erupted at that time. The most devastating eruptions in the future is the Krakatoa volcano (Krakatoa) which breaks part of Sumatra and Java and others as well as forming the Sunda strait plains.
Atlantis is derived from Sanskrit Atala, which means heaven or reviewing tower (watch tower), Atalaia (Potugis), Atalaya (Spain). Plato asserts that the Atlantic at that time was the center of world civilization in the form of culture, natural resources, science / technology, and others. Plato was determined that the location of Atlantis in the Atlantic Ocean now. At the time, he insisted that the earth is flat and surrounded by the ocean (ocean) as a whole. Ocean derived from the Sanskrit word meaning ashayana surrounds thoroughly. The opinion was later challenged by experts in the future such as Copernicus, Galileo Galilei-, Einstein, and Stephen Hawking.
Santos differ with Plato about the location of Atlantis. Brazilian scientists argue it, that at the time of the eruption of the volcano variety, causing the ice to melt and flow into the ocean so that the extent of increase. Water and mud derived from volcanic ash is weighed on the ocean and basically, resulting in tremendous pressure on the earth's crust at the bottom of the ocean, especially on the coast of the continent. This pressure resulted in the earthquake. This earthquake reinforced by mountains later in a row that erupted and caused devastating tsunami waves. Santos named Heinrich Events.
In an effort to express opinions based on the history of the world, looks Plato has conducted two oversight, first about the shape / position of the earth which he said flatly. Secondly, the location of which is said to be the continent of Atlantis in the Atlantic Ocean were opposed by Santos. United States military research in the Atlantic region proved unable to find traces of the lost continent. Therefore there is not arbitrary proverb that says, "Amicus Plato, sed magical amica veritas." It means, "I am happy to Plato, but I prefer the truth." However, there are circumstances present that between Plato and Santos agreed . Ie, first, that the location of the sunken continent of Atlantis and by Santos confirmed as the territory of the Republic of Indonesia. Secondly, the number or length of the chain of volcanoes in Indonesia. Among them is Kerinci, Gutters, Krakatoa, Malabar, Galunggung, Pangrango, Merapi, Merbabu, Semeru, Bromo, Supreme, Rinjani. Most of the mountain has been or is being active again.
Third, the issue of mud from the eruption of the volcano ashes mixed with sea water to mud. Silt in the sea then seep into the ground on the mainland. The hot mud mixed with natural gas which is impossible barrier of mud (mud barriers that can not be passed), or in navigable (impassable), can not be penetrated or entered. In cases in Sidoarjo, never done remote sensing, remote sensing, which showed a canalization system in the region. It is possible that the former distribution canalization mudflow of the past.
That Indonesia is a region that is regarded as the heir of Atlantis that is considered in his time was the center of world civilization. But as the disaster-prone areas, as has been experienced by the Atlantis, it's time to learn from history and take advantage of the latest developments in science to be able to cope
