Chapter 266 Atlantis
"What a spectacular city, it's simply the capital of gods." Jack Sparrow sighed, with deep emotion and shock in his eyes.
"This is Atlantis, the legendary capital of the sea gods." Allen breathed slowly.
During this period, the largest cities in Europe were Paris, France and London, England, and their population was only close to one million. The city could already live in a million people on its periphery. At its feet were flat and neat stone roads with a width of more than fifty meters, leading to the center of the city.
The city is surrounded by several concentric circles and is then divided into ten equal parts. Each layer of concentric ring is separated by a stone wall. Behind the stone wall is a circular moat. The red, white, and black boulders are plated with metal wraps such as copper and tin, forming a beautiful pattern. Each layer is connected by waterways, with artificial waterways directly connecting to the outside sea, and there are arched bridges above the waterways.
On the outermost side of the city are shipyards, iron smelting plants and other factories. These factories are directly connected to waterways and have docks inside the factory. Ships can directly enter the factory to load and unload goods.
The outer buildings are made of granite, which is polished very flat. The city is full of statues, and the whole city is full of artistic atmosphere.
According to legend, the sea god Poseidon founded the Kingdom of Atlantis. On a small island, there was a girl whose parents died. Poseidon married the girl and gave birth to five twins. So Poseidon divided the entire island into ten districts, gave it to ten sons to rule, and the eldest son was the supreme ruler. Because the eldest son was called "Atlas" (also translated as Atlantis), the country was called the kingdom of "Atlantis".
In the acropolis in the central continent, there are temples dedicated to Poseidon and his wife and temples for Poseidon. The interior of this temple is decorated with gold, silver, brass and ivory. The Kingdom of Atlantis is very prosperous and powerful. In addition to the rich resources of the island itself, the countries he conquered also have tributes every year.
The ten kings held absolute power in their own territory and adopted different national organizations. In order to maintain communication, they gathered in the Temple of Poseidon every five to six years to discuss their relationship and their ruling power. When the agreement was established, the cows fed in the Temple of Poseidon were cut off and the resolution was written on the pillars of the Temple of Poseidon with their blood to add to the sacred and inviolable authority of the resolution.
The city in front of me is intact, with a well-connected canal running through the entire city. The canal has not dried up yet, with sparkling waves inside and blue river water.
A large amount of precious metal is used as decoration in the city. In addition to the statue of the sea god, the most are bulls and mermaids. The statues use a large amount of metal inlay. It can be said that the entire city is completely made of gold.
When entering the city with a flat stone road, Allen felt that his eyes were not enough. The houses in the outer area lived with gold and silver as decorations. There were temples, amphitheater, arena, public bathrooms, and a small square in each area. A large amount of gold and silver decorations were used on the buildings, as if gold was like soil here.
As the two continued to go deeper, Allen clearly felt the charm of the city. There were copper street lights on both sides of the street, flower beds were opened on both sides, and there was a statue on both sides of the road at any distance. The statues were in various shapes and lifelike, and none of them were exactly the same.
The city's canal system is still working. These canals act as the main force of transportation and can transport a large amount of materials to any corner of the city. There are copper pillars on both sides of the canal with traces of rope binding. Marble is the most commonly used building material here, and various works of art decorating the city. Legend has it that Atlantis is rich in gold, silver and gems, and many buildings here have these decorations.
The whole city is extremely luxurious, and its scale is amazing, eye-opening. The exotic architecture and the wealth of this city are unique. Jack Sparrow has tried to pry off the decorated gems more than once and was blocked by Allen. In this legendary city, any act of breaking the rings may cause great trouble. Who knows whether the sea god here has given blessings?
In the center of the city is a huge temple, in front of the temple is a square, surrounded by statues of different shapes, on the central axis of the temple is a metal column with a large number of words engraved on it, and the bronze columns are engraved with countless patterns and reliefs, as well as giant reliefs of the God of Poseidon; in addition, there are articles written in some gorgeous and complex beautiful words.
The metal pillars looked shiny and had a flaming glow.
"What metal is this?" Jack Sparrow gently stroked the metal pillar with his hand.
"Mountain bronze!"
"Shan Copper? What is that, is it an alloy?"
"Mountain copper is a rare mineral unique to Atlantis. It has a gold-like color and a flame-like light. In Atlantis, it is worth more than gold and is usually used to decorate the temple." Allen gently tapped the mountain copper pillar and said with some emotion.
"This should be the resolution made by the ten kings."
From here, the temple uses white marble buildings, with stone pillars supporting a dome decorated with immeasurable gold, copper, ivory, silver and various gems. Under the light, the entire temple emits a brilliant light, as if it is in the kingdom of gods.
"The legendary kingdom of God!" Jack looked at the city in a daze. The city in front of him had exceeded their imagination. All the beautiful words to praise him were a bit insufficient. This was a great city that could not be described in words.
"Poseidon's Temple!" This is the largest building in the city. The temple is nearly 100 meters high and is as long as hundreds of meters wide. In addition, the attached palaces around the temple are amazing.
Standing in front of the temple, a majestic aura came to the face. In front of the temple was a step of hundreds of steps. On both sides of the steps, there was a fully armed knight riding a horse with a shield and a sharp sword. Some knights rode war horses, and some rode dolphins. The statues were more than 20 meters high, and a large amount of gold was used as decorations. Each statue was different. Some war horsemen stood up, and some were posing for charge, looking majestic.
