I. ROZUMIENIE TEKSTU CZYTANEGO
THE LOST CITY OF ATLANTIS
The first civilisations started about six thousand years ago. In a short time there were a number of different civilisations in different parts of the world. This happened very fast. Some people believed that all civilisations came from one centre and spread out over the world. The reason for this belief is that some things seem to be the same in different ancient civilisations. For example, there was often sun worship in different civilisations, and there are pyramids in Egypt and Mexico. Perhaps the two civilisations were linked?
The idea of a lost, but highly advanced civilisation has captured the interest of people for centuries. Perhaps the most compelling of these tales is the story of Atlantis. The story appears again and again in books, television shows and films. Where did the story originate and is any of it true?
In 355 BC Plato, the Greek philosopher, wrote about a great civilisation in a city called Atlantis – a marvel of architecture and engineering. The city was composed of a series concentric walls and canals. At the very centre was a hill with a temple of Poseidon. Atlantis conquered nearly all the world, but one day there was a disaster. There were terrible earthquakes and floods and in one day and night Atlantis disappeared into the sea. Perhaps this is just a story, but if it is true, Atlantis was the first civilisation - 6000 years earlier than the civilisation of Sumeria. Some writers have said that Atlanteans were spacemen, and that they built Stonehenge, the pyramids in Egypt and the stone heads on Easter Island. Not many people really believe this, of course.
Where was Atlantis? The search for Atlantis has occupied many people and no definitive trace has ever been found. Some people believe it was a continent in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean which disappeared in some great natural disaster. Other people believe that underwater explorers have found the walls of Atlantis around the island of Bimini in the Bahamas - the walls are very high and very ancient. But most people believe that Atlantis was much nearer to Europe. There was a great island civilisation which was destroyed in a terrible disaster. This was the civilisation of Minoan Crete, which was destroyed in about 1470 BC by a volcano.
