Introduction

Crystal. What can you imagine when you hear this word? Something unusual, mysterious. You may think that a crystal is a rare and beautiful mineral or gemstone. You are partly right. Emeralds and diamonds are crystals. But not all crystals are rare and beautiful. Every single particle of salt or sugar is also a crystal! Many of the most common substances around us are crystals.

People say that the crystal grows. Why can it grow? After all, this is not a plant. I became interested in why a crystal grows, how a person uses it, whether it is possible to grow a crystal and how to do it.

People use crystals in construction, in the production of jewelry, watches, electronic devices, and computer equipment. But where can I get so many crystals? Is it possible to grow them artificially? I decided to try growing a crystal at home.

Goal of the work: find out what a crystal is and get it at home.

Tasks:

1. Conduct an analysis of the literature on this topic

2.Grow crystals at home

3.Analyze the results obtained.

Hypothesis: We suggested that crystals can be grown at home

Relevance work is to find interesting and unusual things nearby, in what is available for observation and study, does not require special effort and expense, and allows you to take a fresh look at familiar objects and acquire new knowledge.

Object of work– crystals.

Item research – crystallization process.

Methods used:

· study of literature

· observation,

· setting up an experiment

What is a crystal

Crystals

A crystal is usually a solid, but there are also liquid crystals. Every substance is made up of small particles (molecules or atoms). You can call them bricks. Usually the bricks in a substance are different and connect to each other in different ways, that is, strange patterns are obtained. But in a crystal, the bricks are the same, they connect to each other in the same way, and are repeated in exactly the same sequence throughout the substance, i.e., patterns of the correct shape are obtained. Thanks to this repeating structure, crystals themselves can take on strange and interesting shapes.

Crystals of many minerals and precious stones were known and described several thousand years ago. At first, the word “crystal” translated from Greek meant only “ice.” Then they began to call transparent quartz crystals, which is also called rock crystal. People thought that rock crystal was ice that did not melt in heat. Amazing feature Rock crystal is characterized by its smooth, flat edges. A guess arose that the shape may be related to the internal structure. And then scientists proved that the structure of the crystal has a repeating pattern

A crystal is a solid state of matter. He has a certain form and a certain number of faces due to the arrangement of its atoms. All crystals of one substance have the same shape, although they may differ in size.

Crystals in nature

There are hundreds of substances in nature that form crystals. Water is one of the most common of these. Freezing water turns into ice crystals or snowflakes. Mineral crystals are also formed during certain rock-forming processes. Vast amounts of hot and molten rock deep underground are actually mineral solutions. As masses of these liquid or molten rocks are pushed toward the earth's surface, they begin to cool. They cool very slowly. Minerals turn into crystals when they change from a hot liquid to a cold solid form. For example, rock granite contains crystals of minerals such as quartz, feldspar and mica. Millions of years ago, granite was a molten mass of minerals in a liquid state. Currently, in the earth's crust there are masses of molten rocks that slowly cool and form crystals of various types. Crystals can come in all sorts of shapes. All known crystals in the world can be divided into 32 types, which in turn can be grouped into six types. Crystals can have different sizes. Some minerals form crystals that can only be seen with a microscope. Others form crystals that weigh several kilograms.

geodes" - earthen) - round, oval or other shaped voids in rocks, inside of which there remains a cavity where crystals grow from the edges to the center. The name "geode" came to us from France.

The ancient Greeks these "star caves" s ” called “geodes” (γεώδης) - s earth-like, h earthen; in English - „ geode" or „ crystalcave"- “crystal cave.” There are small geodes, less than a meter in diameter, and there are real caves with walls and ceilings decorated with crystals.

Geodes form in cavities in the earth's crust. Minerals are deposited there gradually, layer by layer, from the walls to the center. But this requires special conditions.

Firstly, a closed shell is required in which the body of the aggregate grows. For small secretions, this is most often the walls of gas bubbles in magma flowing to the surface during a volcanic eruption. In order for the bubbles to grow noticeably larger than those you are used to seeing in pumice or porous chocolate, the magma must be thick enough. Water vapor, fluorine, chlorine dissolve in it, carbon dioxide, oxides of silicon, iron, magnesium and the like. The process of formation of minerals in the earth's crust with the participation of hot water and high pressure is called “hydrothermal”, and the solution of minerals from which they crystallize again upon gradual cooling is called colloidal.

If the magma is thick enough and the bubble with the solution does not explode, conditions are created for the gradual cooling and crystallization of minerals. Once the magma cools slightly, the colloidal solution solidifies layer by layer. First, minerals with a higher melting point are deposited on the walls of the cavity. In our geode it is yellow-gray opaque or translucent silicon, a type of quartz with a cryptocrystalline structure. Then chalcedony is deposited in the form of a white opaque “crust”, followed by agate, a translucent variety of quartz, which crystallizes. Agate is now more often called not the mineral itself, but a striped concentric pattern formed by layers of different minerals. If the temperature changes several times, chalcedony and agate form several layers, the sequence of which depends on whose “turn” it is to crystallize at a given temperature

The growth of the geode is completed by crystals of pure quartz: transparent rock crystal, smoky topaz, purple amethyst. It all depends on the content and variety of acidic metal residues and the concentration of minerals in the solution.

Over time, the top layer of rocks is destroyed, dense and weathering-resistant secretions are scattered into open deposits.

Growing artificial crystals interested people back in the 9th century. And above all, precious minerals were of interest: ruby ​​and sapphire. Now such minerals are produced in the millions of carats annually!

They are produced from melts, from solutions, from gas, but of course, for each mineral there is its own method of production, its own technological feature. (This feature is associated with such a variety of minerals in nature!)
For example, quartz crystals (rock crystal, amethyst grow in aqueous solutions of natural mineralizers. This is evidenced by the chemical composition of quartz. For growing artificial crystal stone natural conditions are also simulated artificially!

To briefly describe the process of artificially growing stone crystals, the initial raw material (for example, ugly, destroyed quartz) is destroyed in alkali to a molecular state and then a perfectly regular transparent crystal is created from silica molecules. This is done using special seeds. Seeds for growing artificial minerals are transparent thin elongated plates made from the same synthetic crystals. In this case, the appropriate temperature, pressure, and concentration of the solution must be controlled. The slightest deviation from the specified parameters - and the crystal will be hopelessly damaged! Another important condition for growing artificial stones is the temperature difference at the bottom and top of the container where they grow. In this case, molecules are transferred in the solution and supplied to the seeds.

Artificial precious and semi-precious stones, for example, factory-grown amethysts, are no different from their famous Ural and Brazilian counterparts: neither in appearance nor in structure.

Crystal Geode Egg

I was very interested in the crystals that grow in geodes, and I decided to grow crystals in eggshells. This will be my Easter craft.

I needed:

an empty egg shell, burnt alum, white glue, a brush, a glass bowl, paint for Easter eggs, hot water, a stick and spoon, a sheet of paper.

How I did it:

1. Blowed a large white chicken egg. She split it lengthwise into two halves. This “jewelry” action was carried out by cutting it with small scissors. I made sure that the inside of the shell was dry and clean. Prepared everything you need (photo 1 of the application)

2. Using a brush, I applied white glue to the inner surface of both halves of the egg and the edge, and sprinkled alum on the entire inner surface covered with glue. Dried the shell (photo 2)

3. The next day, I prepared a solution for growing crystals in a glass container: I stirred a full packet of dye in 2 glasses of very hot (almost boiling water) water with a stick. Added ¾ cup of alum powder to the hot dye solution and stirred until completely dissolved. When the alum was completely dissolved, I let the solution cool (about 30 minutes), and then dipped one half of a dried egg, coated with glue and alum, into the bottom of the vessel, with the inside side up. (Photo 3,4,5)

4. Placed the vessel in a safe place for the night. Crystals like to grow in peace. The longer the shell is in the water, the larger the crystals in the geode will be.

5. A day later, I carefully removed the geode from the solution; wet crystals are quite fragile. If I wanted to grow larger crystals, I would leave the geode in solution for a few more days. (Photo 6)

6. I placed the geode on a piece of paper and waited until it was completely dry. (photo 7)

Now I can show my miracle to people! (photo 8)

Attention!

· It is still necessary to wear rubber gloves when working with chemicals!

· Never taste chemicals!

· When you finish the experiment, wash your hands!

Conclusion

Crystals have a clear, repeating structure and can be solid or liquid. They occur naturally and can be grown by humans. Beautiful crystals form when the crystallization of atoms and molecules of a substance into patterns of regular shape occurs very slowly. The crystal grows because water gradually evaporates from a saturated solution, and the crystalline substance passes from a liquid to a solid state, as the “bricks” (atoms and molecules) attract each other and independently take place in a repeating structure.

Crystals are very useful for humans. In some cases you cannot do without them. For example, if you need to cut a stone, you cannot do without a diamond, and if you need to make a watch, then you cannot do without a ruby. Microprocessors in computers are made of silicon, and without liquid crystal displays we can no longer imagine any electronic device. Finding the right crystal in nature is very difficult. It is much easier and cheaper to grow it artificially. This is done in industrial production. But you can grow a crystal at home.

Conclusions:

1. My experiment showed that the crystal can be grown at home.

2. It is necessary to use gloves, since the dye is very difficult to wash off your hands.

3. As a result of the experiment, I was convinced that the crystals are very fragile and need to be varnished to protect them from destruction

4. You can decorate your home in a very unusual way for Easter.

Crystals are capricious and require careful handling, adherence to the recipe and the temperature of the solution when immersing the crystal for further growth. Otherwise, a crystal that has been grown for a long time and patiently may disappear before our eyes in a few minutes! But, if everything is done correctly, patiently and carefully, the grown crystal will delight you with its beauty, unusual shape, color, size!

The study of crystals cannot be contained in this work; it deserves more attention! This is exactly what I plan to do in the future.

Crystal. Many of the most common substances around us are crystals. I wanted to grow an unusual crystal - an analogue of a geode. Crystal in an egg for Easter. And I succeeded. Growing crystals is a very exciting process.

Abstracts

Crystals(from the Greek κρύσταλλος, originally - ice, later - rock crystal, crystal) - solids in which atoms are arranged regularly, forming a three-dimensional periodic spatial arrangement - a crystal lattice.

Thanks to this repeating structure, crystals themselves can take on strange and interesting shapes.

There are hundreds of substances in nature that form crystals. Water is one of the most common of these. Freezing water turns into ice crystals or snowflakes.

Crystals can have different sizes. Some minerals form crystals that can only be seen with a microscope. Others form crystals that weigh several kilograms.

The largest crystals were discovered in the Cave of Crystals in the Nike mine complex, in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. Some of the gypsum crystals found there reach 15 meters in length and 1 meter in width. They consist of a transparent variety of crystalline gypsum - selenite.

Crystals grow by reproducing themselves. Of all the mineral kingdoms, they come closest to being called “living.”

Geodes(from the Greek "geodes" - earthen) - round, oval or other shaped voids in rocks, inside of which there remains a cavity where crystals grow from the edges to the center.

Artificial crystal stones They are produced from melts, from solutions, from gas, but of course, for each mineral there is its own method of production, its own technological feature.

Crystals are very useful for humans. In some cases you cannot do without them. Finding the right crystal in nature is very difficult. It is much easier and cheaper to grow it artificially. This is done in industrial production. But you can grow a crystal at home.

Plato wrote that the Atlanteans “brought disaster upon themselves.” However, his story ends and does not reveal the secret. Perhaps the American clairvoyant Edgar Cayce managed to solve this mystery, who, while entering a trance, observed visions from long-vanished worlds. According to him, the Atlanteans owned certain crystals and used them for worldly and spiritual purposes. Casey was a ghost Big hall in the temple of Poseidon, called the hall of light. It contained the main crystal of Atlantis - Tuaoi, which means “fire stone”. It had a cylindrical shape and reached a height of several meters. The top absorbed solar energy and accumulated it in the center. Casey claims that the crystal was given to the Atlanteans by representatives alien civilizations, who warned that it must be handled with care, since it contains powerful destructive power. These crystals, according to Casey, were accumulators of solar radiation and starlight; they accumulated the energy of the Earth, their rays burned through even thick walls. It was thanks to this that the Atlanteans built palaces, temples and developed extrasensory abilities.

Naturally, Cayce's statements were met with skepticism by scientists, but unexpectedly confirmation was discovered. Julius Caesar in his “Notes on the Gallic War” wrote that a certain Druid priest told him about the ancestors of the Gauls who came to Europe from the “Island of Crystal Towers.” They brought with them certain crystals, which later became the sacred stones of the Druids. According to legend, the glass palace from which the crystals came rose in the middle of the sea, somewhere in the center of the Atlantic. Ships sailed past it, but those that tried to come closer died: invisible forces captured the ship, and it disappeared forever. In the Celtic sagas, an inexplicable force is called the “magic web.” One of the heroes of the sagas managed to escape from the “House of Glass” and return home. It seemed to him that he had spent only three days in the palace, but thirty years had already passed in his homeland. Such an influence on space and time could only be exerted by a huge and powerful crystal, the hexagonal Tuaoi, which Casey spoke about.

As it turned out, the word “Tuaoi” has linguistic parallels in the languages ​​of the Mayans, Aztecs, Guanches, and Sumerians. All similar words mean the same thing - “burning or fiery stone.”

Tibetan equivalent of Tuaoya

There is a legend that some of the surviving Atlanteans moved to Tibet. The peoples of Tibet have preserved a legend about giant pyramids topped with large rock crystal crystals, which served as antennas for receiving the life-giving energy of the Cosmos. One such pyramid was discovered in Tibet during World War II by US Air Force pilot James Kausman. He flew over the so-called “Valley of Death”. Suddenly, right below, I saw a pyramid. It was pure white on all sides, and at the top was a huge crystal that sparkled like a gem. The crew was amazed by the size of the pyramid and the inexplicable, mesmerizing beauty of the crystal. It was not possible to land close. The instrument needles seemed to go wild, indicating the presence of a strong magnetic field. After flying around the pyramid three times, Kausman returned safely to his base.

Our compatriot E. Muldashev also recently discovered huge pyramids, smooth as a mirror, in Tibet, which left him with an unforgettable feeling of delight.

Quartz skull

It can be assumed that the material widely used by Atlantean craftsmen was quartz, a common rock in volcanic soil. In 1927, a young American woman, who was helping her father, archaeologist F.A. Mitchell-Hedges, found in the ruins of Mayan buildings in Luvaatum, near the coast Caribbean Sea, on the Yucatan Peninsula, crystalline quartz skull. It was exquisitely sculpted life-size, with a movable lower jaw and many prisms, lenses and light tubes that gave life to the eyes and face. Scientists from a California laboratory examined the quartz skull under powerful microscopes and found no scratches that would indicate it had been carved with metal tools. Moreover, after a thorough examination of the skull, they made a sensational conclusion: the skull was made in violation of all the laws of crystallography. This result could only be achieved with the help of a laser, invented much later, or technologies completely unknown to modern civilization.

The quartz skull possesses powers whose origins are inexplicable. Some people see an aura around it, others smell a sweetish-sour smell nearby. At times it seems as if the skull makes sounds like the ringing of bells or a barely audible choir of human voices. Visions can appear in his presence, and he has a beneficial effect on those endowed with the gift of healing and divination.

Quartz crystal also promotes meditation by influencing the energy emitted by thought waves. Such objects, carefully carved from quartz crystals, probably helped the Atlanteans achieve heightened sensitivity and sensitivity when contemplating their own place in the Universe.

These and similar facts suggest that the Atlantean crystals have retained their energetic impact and the main crystal of Atlantis Tuaoi is in working condition, resting at great depth in the center of the Bermuda Triangle.

Masters need to have special crystals that are encoded and belong on the subtle plane to a specific person. Amethyst and fluorite crystals work especially well. The Master Crystal works as long as you are alive. Fluorite has a natural crystal shape - double pyramids, and it contains a special power. The Atlanteans knew the secrets of encoding their libraries into these crystals and the hour was not far off when modern man will be able to decode such valuable information and use it. These crystals themselves carry enormous power and energy. Fluorite is a stone that can be worked with on different levels, and it is the structure of the double pyramid that makes it so universal. Huge pyramids on earth have the same structure, but the peak, invisible to our eyes, belongs to another time - space.

Fluorite activates the right hemisphere and is the most powerful stone with lilac-violet radiation. An impulse that God sends always emanates from him. Over the years, crystals have served as an effective tool for establishing channels of communication with divine entities or the “higher self” to obtain answers, insights and enhance personal growth and spiritual development.

Excerpt from the book The Forerunner

Thus was born the creation of Human hands, a symbol of Knowledge, an image of Unity and the likeness of the Universe. What descendants will call a pyramid was born. But few people think about the essence of the form of this structure.

The earthlings had this likeness to their Soul. Because in those times hearts were open. And there was awareness of what they were doing.

And the Atlanteans came to look at this creation. And they asked permission from the Tsar of that state to build similar temples in their own country. And this permission was given. And the construction of Temples of Similarity began in many places of both empires. Upon completion of the construction of the main temples, the Creator's messenger appeared in both states. And they were told that this was a good thing. And the grace of the Creator descended to Earth in the form of two crystals. A small crystal to the first pyramid, for giving away unselfishly. And it was given to them for this. And the big crystal is for the Atlanteans. For what they saw, they bowed their knees, took it and multiplied it. And through these crystals the connection passed with all the Subtle and Parallel Worlds. Great knowledge was passed on through them. Only seven faces were closed before the time. And every priest could work with the crystal. But only to the extent that he could enter in accordance with his knowledge, thoughts and deeds. The egregor of the state was also connected to the crystal. And development proceeded according to all plans...

Three thousand years after the events described, both states entered the “Golden Age”. It was a time of harmony and prosperity. Technologies were brought to such a state that the priests no longer simply received and transmitted information through the crystal, but were able to open one of the seven closed faces of the crystal. And, thanks to this, they could move their material bodies into parallel dimensions. And thus the door to the “World of Dark Kingdoms” was opened. And there was great amazement at what he saw. For a king ruled there with a sect of priests, and his power was unlimited. He enslaved other peoples. And he delighted his flesh. And he didn’t know the limits. And the priests returned. And they told others about it. And the seed of evil began to spread with the speed of thought.

You won't forget what you saw. And it got to the point where relations between states collapsed. Thanks to their joint efforts, the connection between the crystals was also destroyed. And the explosion shook the Earth. And the waves of the sea rose. And the whole planet trembled from this. The catastrophe was such that new mountains rose, and the old ones went underground. But the Earth did not completely change its face. This was the first warning of impending disaster. But the Atlanteans perceived it differently. “We did it,” they said. “And if we wish, we will turn the whole Earth upside down”...

Atlantean crystals are mysterious stones that were owned by the legendary inhabitants of Atlantis. According to Plato's notes, "the Atlanteans brought disaster upon themselves" by mishandling these crystals. True, he does not reveal the secret of the tragedy. The famous clairvoyant Edgar Cayce, entering a trance, also saw the Atlanteans and their crystals, which they used for worldly and spiritual purposes. Perhaps at some point the powerful energy of the crystals got out of control and became the destructive force that destroyed the mysterious country.

Edgar Cayce left documents about his visions, including those of Atlantis. In a state of trance, he saw extraordinary palaces in the disappeared country, a large Hall of Light in the Temple of Poseidon. It contained the “fire stone” - the main crystal of Atlantis, called Tuaoi. This was the first crystal given to the Atlanteans by representatives of alien civilizations. The quartz crystal reached a height of several meters and had a cylindrical shape. Its top absorbed solar energy, and its accumulation occurred in the center. Tuaoi was so powerful that the aliens warned the Atlanteans: they needed to handle it very carefully.

There were other crystals, but they were all radiation accumulators: Solar, Terrestrial, Stellar. Their rays burned through even thick walls. Thanks to the energy of crystals, the Atlanteans built beautiful palaces and temples and developed extrasensory abilities.
Scholars have been skeptical of both Cayce's claims and Plato's record. But over time, more and more new historical sources were discovered - legends about Atlantis and its crystals.

For example, Julius Caesar in his Notes on the Gallic War mentioned the stories of a Druid priest about the Island of Crystal Towers. This island rose in the middle of the sea somewhere in the center of the Atlantic, and on it was located a crystal palace. Not a single enemy ship could approach the island: invisible forces captured the ship, and it disappeared into the depths of the sea forever.

The Celtic sagas tell of an inexplicable force guarding the island, called the magical web. One of these sagas tells of a man who was captured and lived in a house of glass, then he somehow managed to escape and return home. As it turned out, thirty years had passed in his homeland, but it seemed to him only three days! Apparently, the hexagonal tuaoi was so powerful that it even changed space and time.

Words similar in sound to “Tuaoi” are found in the languages ​​of the Sumerians, Mayans, and Aztecs. They all mean one thing - “burning, fiery stone.”
There is also a legend that after the disaster, some of the Atlanteans escaped and fled to Tibet. Apparently they managed to take some stones with them. The peoples of Tibet have preserved legends about giant pyramids, on the tops of which there are crystals similar to rock crystal, which are capable of receiving the energy of the Cosmos.

According to ancient historians and modern esotericists, the Cheops pyramid was built by the Atlanteans, and was crowned with a magic crystal, all of whose faces shone like mirrors. At the top of the Cheops pyramid there actually remains a platform measuring 10 by 10 meters, where a small pyramid could well have been installed. Perhaps it was luminous, spire-shaped, and served as an antenna for receiving and amplifying high-frequency radiation from the Universe.

But the material of this pyramidion is controversial: some are inclined to believe that it was a magical conical crystal made of rock crystal, others think that it was made of metal. Edgar Cayce also observed a large crystal on the Cheops pyramid during his "time travel." Perhaps it was the powerful enhancement of the radiation of the pyramid by this crystal that led to the disaster that resulted in the destruction of Atlantis.

In 1927, a young American woman, the daughter of archaeologist F.A. Mitchell-Hedges, found an elegant one in the ruins of Mayan buildings on the Yucatan Peninsula. This unique skull had a movable lower jaw and consisted of many prisms, lenses and light tubes that gave life to the eyes and face.
Scientists began to study the find under powerful microscopes and came to the conclusion that it was made using a unique technology that excluded metal tools. They made a sensational statement: the object was made in violation of all the laws of crystallography and such production is possible only with a laser beam or other means unknown to modern science.
In addition, the quartz skull created an aura around itself that some people saw. Some caught a special sweetish-sour smell, some heard sounds like the ringing of bells or a barely audible choir of human voices. Particularly sensitive individuals experienced visions, and those who had extrasensory abilities expanded them.

In 1970, Dr. Ray Brown, a great lover of scuba diving, went on vacation to the Bahamas. One day, during another dive to great depths, he discovered a huge pyramid with a smooth, almost mirror-like surface, the joints between the blocks of which were not visible even when illuminated by powerful lamps. Soon the archaeologist found the entrance to the pyramid, and along a narrow corridor he ended up in a rectangular room with strange lighting. In the center, on a slight elevation, was a crystalline sphere four inches in diameter, and in it one could see the image of three pyramids.

When Brown tried to touch the crystal, he heard a warning voice inside himself, but still raised the sphere to the surface and only five years later he decided to show it at a congress of psychiatrists in the United States. They began to conduct research on the findings. Examining the sphere from a certain angle, they noticed that its internal image disintegrates into thousands of tiny lines; some discerned in these lines the image of a large human eye looking at them.

Psychologist from New York Elizabeth Vacon, after looking at the crystal, suddenly fell into a trance and received a message about its belonging... to the Egyptian god of death Thoth. Some people in a state of deep meditation were able to discern the image of the fourth pyramid in the sphere. A number of researchers have suggested that perhaps this image is the key to unraveling the secret knowledge of the god Thoth.

A few years later, radiation of unknown origin was also discovered at the bottom of the Sargasso Sea. It is possible that the anomalies in the Bermuda Triangle area are also associated with mysterious emitters at the bottom. Edgar Cayce warned about this when reporting the danger of navigation in the Bermuda area. In his opinion, the destructive energy of crystals is still active today.

In the summer of 1991, the crew of an American hydrological vessel discovered a huge pyramid at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle. Based on the echoes, it was three times larger famous pyramid Cheops, and the faces are made of a material with the properties of glass or polished ceramics. It couldn't be a natural object. After returning, a press conference was held at which the researchers showed photographs and echograms. These documents showed three-dimensional images of the faces of the pyramid.

In 1993, an American submarine was in the area at a depth of 70 meters. Suddenly the sailors heard a strange noise and felt a vibration. This lasted for about a minute. Having surfaced, the submarine found itself in the area Indian Ocean, 10 thousand miles east of Bermuda, and the team seemed to have aged.

In 1999, Shannon Bracey from New Zealand decided to cross the Pacific Ocean alone on a yacht. This is what she later said: “When I was already approaching Bermuda, something terrible happened. At noon, when I was in the wheelhouse, the sea surface became hazy. It seemed like I was caught in a band of fog. Soon a real storm began, and the haze thickened so much that visibility became zero. Then... ghosts appeared around me! These were people in sailor uniforms, some women with mournful faces and crying children. I understood that they had all been dead for a long time, and this made me feel chilling horror.” Then she woke up and saw the sky above her head, strewn with stars. The clock in the control room showed midnight. It turned out that the woman was unconscious for twelve hours.

Russian biologists decided to conduct an experiment. They placed germinated wheat germs in containers and sailed to the Bermuda region. Before passing through the danger zone, the sprouts were vigorously stretching upward and developing normally, but in the area of ​​the danger zone they suddenly began to wither, some even died. When the ship left the Bermuda Triangle area, the plants came to life. The experiment was carried out by biologists several times and the result was the same all the time.

Some believe that the main crystal of Atlantis was preserved at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle and is still working today, exerting a mysterious effect on the planet.

Crystal from Atlantis - an inexplicable find of archaeologists Mystery ancient civilization

The ancient Greek philosopher Plato, in his works entitled “Dialogues,” wrote that the Atlanteans “brought disaster upon themselves.” But his story breaks off and does not reveal the secrets of the tragedy. Perhaps the American clairvoyant Edgar Cayce, who, entering a trance, observed visions from long-vanished worlds, was able to solve it.

According to him, "the Atlanteans used crystals for worldly and spiritual purposes." In his revelations, Cayce saw a large hall in the Temple of Poseidon, called the "Hall of Light". It contained the main crystal of Atlantis - Tuaoi, or “Fire Stone”. It had a cylindrical shape, the top absorbed solar energy and accumulated it in the center. The first crystal was presented to the Atlanteans by representatives of alien civilizations, who warned that it must be handled with care, since it contains terrible destructive power.

In general, the crystals were powerful accumulators of solar radiation and starlight; they accumulated the energy of the Earth, their rays burned through even powerful walls. It was thanks to this that the Atlanteans built palaces, temples and developed extrasensory abilities.

Casey's statements were met by scientists with a fair amount of skepticism. But soon confirmation of what was said was discovered: Julius Caesar in his “Notes on the Gallic War” wrote that a certain Druid priest told him about the ancestors of the Gauls who came to Europe from the “Island of Crystal Towers.” According to legend, their glass palace rose in the middle of the sea somewhere in the center of the Atlantic. Ships sailed past it, but those that tried to come closer died: some invisible forces captured the ship, and it disappeared forever. The myth survived into the Middle Ages: in the Celtic sagas this inexplicable force was called the “magic web.” One of the heroes of the sagas managed to escape from the House of Glass and return home. It seemed to him that he had spent only three days in the palace, but thirty years had passed in his homeland!

There is a legend that some of the surviving Atlanteans fled to Tibet. The peoples of Tibet have preserved a legend about giant pyramids. crowned with large rock crystals, which served as antennas for receiving the life-giving energy of the Cosmos.

In 1970, Dr. Ray Brown went on vacation to the island of Barii, located near Bahamas. The scientist was a scuba diving enthusiast. One day he went diving. Imagine his amazement when, at great depths, he discovered a well-preserved pyramid, equipped with unknown technology. Among the rods and holders was a crystal. When Brown tried to take it with him, he heard a warning voice inside him. And yet he brought it to the surface. For 5 years, Ray Brown protected the find in every possible way. But in 1975, he still decided to show it at a congress of psychiatrists in the USA. Psychologist from New York Elizabeth Bacon, after looking at the crystal, suddenly received a message from the stone about its belonging... to the Egyptian god of death Thoth!

A few years later, high-energy crystals of unknown origin were discovered at the bottom of the Sargasso Sea. With their radiation they dematerialized people and ships. It is possible that anomalies in the Bermuda Triangle area arose as a result of the influence of this energy complex. Edgar Cayce warned of the dangers of shipping in the Bermuda area, because, in his opinion, the destructive energy of crystals continues to operate today. That is why the so-called “paradox of time and space” is observed there.

The American weekly News reported on an amazing incident involving an American submarine floating in a “triangle” at a depth of 200 feet (70 m). The sailors heard a strange noise overboard and felt a vibration that lasted about a minute. And then the whole team... instantly aged. But the most surprising thing became clear after surfacing: it turned out that the submarine was in... the Indian Ocean, 300 miles from east coast Africa and 10 thousand miles from Bermuda!

It is quite possible that the strange phenomenon occurred under the influence of Atlantean energy crystals, hidden, according to Casey, at the bottom of the sea east of Andros Island at a depth of 1500 m.

An American hydrological vessel discovered a huge pyramid at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle - three times larger than the famous pyramid of Cheops! Judging by the echoes reflected from its surface, the edges are made of a material similar to glass or polished ceramic. Surprisingly, they turned out to be absolutely clean and smooth, which is not at all typical for an object located on the ocean floor.

In 1995, University of Minnesota researcher Mark Hammons and his colleague Geoffrey Keith stated that the Atlanteans were... aliens that inhabited human bodies! For communication and movement, they used telepathy and levitation, and also had highly developed technologies based on energy crystals, the fragments of which now rest at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle. They still emit dangerous rays.

Apparently, numerous disappearances of ships in this area are also associated with them: living objects, that is, people, seem to be “freed” from their bodies and move into the subtle astral world. Weaker rays alter the psyche so much that hallucinations may occur.

In 1999, Shannon Bracey from New Zealand became a participant in one of the unexplained incidents, deciding to cross the Pacific Ocean alone on a yacht. Here's what she told reporters.

— When I was already approaching Bermuda, something terrible happened. At noon, when I was in the wheelhouse, the sea surface became foggy. It seemed like I was caught in a band of fog. Soon a real storm began, and the haze thickened so much that visibility became zero. Then ghosts appeared around me! These were people in sailor uniforms, some women with mournful faces and crying children. I understood that they had all been dead for a long time, and this made me feel chilling horror. Suddenly I saw my dead husband: he was stretching out his hands to me. At that moment I lost consciousness.

When Shannon woke up, the clock in the control room showed midnight. It turned out that the woman was unconscious for twelve hours!

All these facts indicate that the main crystal of Atlantis was preserved in working condition. It lies at great depth in the center of the Bermuda Triangle and continues to have a mysterious influence.

Have you ever thought about the question: why have people persistently searched for the mythical Atlantis for thousands of years? Why is this invention of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato better than others? Over the long history of mankind, many civilizations have appeared and disappeared. But no, for some reason everyone is trying to find Atlantis! And they find them - in the vast expanses from the Arctic to Antarctica, from America to Japan.

The fact is that Case received his revelations in trance states, during which he contemplated various visions. And in the last 25 years of his life (1920-1945), he was completely captivated by pictures of sunken cities and destroyed temples under the water. Case also saw a time when they were still on the surface, when many people walked through their streets, marked with the stamp of beauty and wisdom. Then the realization came - this Atlantis! And after a while, one image replaced all the others: crystals. Carved from clear quartz, they glowed with an inner light. Then one huge crystal began to appear more and more often. There was an unstoppable force in him. Soon the insight came - this is the true reason for the death of the ancient Atlantean civilization!

At the beginning of the 20th century, the outstanding poet and writer Valery Bryusov called the Atlanteans “teachers of teachers,” meaning that Atlantis was the cradle of all knowledge and skills (esoteric and ordinary sciences, agricultural, industrial and other technologies, etc.), which the Mediterranean civilizations adopted from it. Moreover, it should be noted that they adopted and understood only a small part, but, nevertheless, they rose above all the surrounding peoples. And fragments of their knowledge, many in a distorted form, have already reached Europe.

As in everything else, humanity, in its search for Atlantis, strives to get to the bottom of the truth - to the source and origin of all things. And, of course, gain secret knowledge, great power and immortality...

Great mystery

The ancient, largely mysterious civilization of the Atlanteans left us a huge legacy, but many have not even heard of the once existing and prosperous continent. They don’t talk about it either in history lessons in schools or universities. Meanwhile, in Atlantis the foundations of everything that our civilization is so proud of, which constitutes its essence, were created.

You may ask: where is all this known? From ancient sources that official science either does not notice or does not recognize, considering their translations to be incorrect. From the messages of those people who are often contemptuously called “contactors”. But think about what a gross mistake this is, because everyone was a contactee, starting with Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, the whole host of saints and prophets, because they talked with the Almighty without intermediaries, that is, without priests. And we, already deprived of this great gift, read their words and interpret them, one way or another. What picture do contactees paint for us?

"About a million years ago, when the Atlantean race was at its height, the continent Atlantis occupied most of Atlantic Ocean"- says esoteric legends. And, indeed, science has established that the middle ridges of the Atlantic Ocean floor are the mountains of a once-sunk continent. The legend also says: “In its northern outskirts Atlantis extended several degrees east of Iceland, including Scotland, Ireland and northern England, and southern to what is now Rio de Janeiro, including Texas, Mexico, the Gulf of Mexico and part of the United States of America. Current Azores were the inaccessible peaks of the highest ridge of the continent of Atlantis.”

The Atlanteans reached a high level of knowledge, being under the guidance of Divine Teachers - the Hierarchy of the Forces of Light on our planet. It is from them that the peoples ancient continent adopted faith in a supreme cosmic being who penetrates everything that exists. The legend says that “thus the cult of the Sun was established, as a symbol of this highest concept. To glorify the luminary, the Atlanteans erected structures on the tops of mountains, from which they determined the annual rotation of the Sun.” The famous megaliths of Stonehenge (England) are such a religious structure: the islands of Great Britain were once a high-mountainous part of ancient Atlantis. Zoroastrianism and other solar cults originate from Atlantis.

amazing Grace

History shows that all ancient cultures had periods of prosperity and decline. This was the case in ancient Atlantis. The people of Atlantis - the Toltecs - created a powerful empire. After long internecine wars, individual tribes united into one large federation, headed by the emperor. For thousands of years, the Toltecs reigned over the entire continent, achieving enormous power and wealth. It was an era of peace and prosperity for the entire race. Throughout the entire era, the Initiates—the messengers of the Hierarchy of Light, emperors, priests, and scientists—fairly ruled the peoples. Under their leadership, science and art flourished. That era was the golden age of Atlantis.

The capital of Atlantis - the city of the Golden Gate, as well as the continent itself, is told in the dialogues “Timaeus” and “Critias” by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, who learned from the Egyptian priests about the existence of the once flourishing country of the Atlanteans. Plato, who studied in Egypt, also found out from the priests about the existence and size last stronghold Atlantis - Poseidonis Islands. It has been scientifically established that the words “Atlas” and “Atlantean” are not Greek, and they cannot be attributed to any language of the old world. But in the language of the Toltecs, now living in America, we immediately find the root “atl”, which means: water, war, top of the head. From this root comes a number of words, such as “Atlan” - a land among the waters, from which the adjective “Atlantic” comes.

“The main direction of art at that time was architecture,” esoteric texts say. — Public and residential buildings, surrounded by beautiful gardens, amazed with their massiveness and gigantic size. The temples consisted of huge halls, similar to the gigantic halls of Egypt."

For a figurative representation, let’s take the architecture of the temple of the ancient Egyptian city of Karnak. “No modern people has raised the art of architecture to such a scale, to such magnitude and grandeur as the Egyptians, who inherited the beauty and grandeur of buildings from the ancient Atlanteans. The imagination, which soars above our porticoes, stops and falls exhausted at the foot of the colonnade of Carnac of 140 columns. The entire cathedral could fit in one of its halls Notre Dame of Paris, it would not yet reach the ceiling and would be considered a small decoration in the hall,” writes J.F. Champollion, the famous Egyptologist.

Much of what we use now was invented in Atlantis. The Atlanteans created writing. In its heyday, there were two categories of schools: primary schools, where they taught reading and writing, and special ones, where children with special talents were transferred at the age of 10-12 years. Botany, chemistry, mathematics, astronomy, and medicine were studied here. This also included experimental acquaintance with the secret forces of nature, with the hidden characteristics of plants, metals, and precious stones. The Atlanteans were familiar with and widely used alchemy in life. Outstanding people studied at higher schools and universities, where they were specifically engaged in the development of hidden and individual psychic powers. One of the main industries in Atlantis was agriculture. Magnificent crops were grown on soil fertilized with psychic energy, and selection work was carried out to grow crops such as wheat, oats, barley, and banana. The ancestors of modern horses and dogs were bred. The Atlanteans used the power of thought to control atmospheric electricity. Concentrating atmospheric electricity and giving it the desired form, with the help of a mental order, the Atlanteans illuminated houses, heated water, melted metal, treated diseases, grew rich crops, covering fields with an electric blanket. The Atlanteans also knew how to use crystals to accumulate and apply solar energy in various areas of life. High-quality crystals were grown and used to transmit images and thoughts (analogous to television). It is possible that in this way they could accumulate the energy of star rays and establish contact with the civilizations of other planets.

Academician K.V. Kaznacheev experimentally established that a quartz crystal, with mental concentration, responds with electromagnetic pulses that were recorded by instruments. Edgar Cayce, an American seer, predicted that in the area Bermuda, where plane and ship crashes are often observed, at a depth of about one and a half kilometers, at the bottom of the ocean, there is a huge crystal. This crystal accumulates and from time to time emits colossal energy into the environment, which leads to a change in matter.

American archaeologist H. Beryl devoted 30 years to the study of the disappeared civilizations of the Central and South America. In his opinion, the construction work was carried out by the ancients not with ordinary tools for cutting stones, but with a radioactive compound that corroded the granite - a kind of engraving on the scale of large structures. Beryl himself saw this radioactive composition, bequeathed by more ancient civilizations, in the hands of the last sorcerers.

We believe that today's world is the only possible one and do not allow for the possibility of a different level of knowledge and technology. And the legend says that “the Atlanteans built aircraft. To build airships, they used a special alloy of three metals, which was durable, very light and shiny. The driving force was ethereal energy. Watercraft moved using the same energy." On the Altiplano mountain plateau in the ancient city of Tiahuanaco, they found the remains of a large port with huge piers, from where the Atlanteans sailed their ships to trip around the world along the ring of oceans, in four other major centers: New Guinea, Mexico, Abyssinia and Tibet. Thus, this civilization was spread throughout to the globe, which explains the similarities between the most ancient legends of mankind that have reached us. Of course, such a flourishing of science, culture and art could have been achieved by a civilization that was guided by the instructions and support of the Great Mentors of the Hierarchy of Light. Refusal to cooperate with the Teachers of Light led to the death of a powerful people inhabiting a vast continent.

Wars of Light and Darkness

The action of negative thoughts - evil, selfishness, envy, revenge - upset the balance of forces of nature, which ultimately affected the state of the earth's crust and atmosphere of the planet. Over 800,000 years, Atlantis was rocked by four disasters. The last catastrophe occurred approximately 12,000 years ago. During it, the island of Poseidonis - all that remained of the blooming earthly paradise - plunged into the abyss of the ocean in one night.

In some places, in Egypt, China, and much later in Greece, great human civilizations arose that remembered the disappeared Atlanteans. After 4,000 years of cultural flourishing, the Egyptians of the times of Herodotus and Plato continue to claim that they learned their arts and sciences directly from the “gods.”

After many steps further development Another civilization was born in the West. A civilization of people cut off from their past, limited in time and space, a civilization of people who have shredded and are not aware of the greatness of their destiny. But even at this, the remnant of the great soul of the past provides endless opportunities for grief and understanding. Our time, the state of the planet and people, is very similar to last times Atlantis. But it also has its limits. We are approaching another era, a miraculous transformation, when the Future will extend its hand to the distant past.

The first person to talk about the paranormal cause of the cataclysm that destroyed Atlantis was Edgar Cayce. He is called the most outstanding psychic of the 20th century, and just as often - the “Sleeping Prophet”.

The fact is that Case received his revelations in trance states, during which he contemplated various visions. And in the last 25 years of his life (1920-1945), he was completely captivated by pictures of sunken cities and destroyed temples under the water. Case also saw a time when they were still on the surface, when many people walked through their streets, marked with the stamp of beauty and wisdom. Then the realization came - this Atlantis! And after a while, one image replaced all the others: crystals. Carved from transparent quartz, they glowed with an inner light. Then one huge crystal began to appear more and more often. There was an unstoppable force in him. Soon the insight came - this is the true reason for the death of the ancient Atlantean civilization!

“Plato in his Dialogues said that the Atlanteans brought disaster upon themselves. However, his story is cut short; the historian does not reveal the secrets of the tragedy. Perhaps it was Case who managed to do this. The Atlanteans used crystals for worldly and spiritual purposes, he said. “These crystals were powerful energy storage devices from solar radiation and starlight. Their energy helped the Atlanteans build palaces and temples and develop psychic abilities. But this was not the case with the main crystal - Tuaoi - the Fire Stone. It accumulated the energy of the Earth, and its rays burned through the most powerful walls.”

In his visions, Case saw a large hall where Tuaoi was located. It was called the "Hall of Light". Servants of a secret cult gathered there and used the crystal for black magic and occult rituals. Their activities harmed not only people, but the entire planet. And at some point, long-suffering nature rebelled.

At first, Case's statements were met with a fair amount of skepticism. But soon, to the surprise of many, some confirmation of what was said appeared. It turned out that the word “Tuaoi” exists in the languages ​​of some peoples. According to Case, not all the ancient inhabitants of Atlantis perished. Some escaped and brought crystals with them to other continents, and with them the memory of the ominous stone.

The legendary ruler of the Toltec Indians, Tezcatlipoca, owned a wonderful “frosted mirror”. In it he could see distant lands and hear the thoughts of other people. There is confirmation of the arrival of the saved Atlanteans in Europe. This is evidenced, oddly enough, by Julius Caesar. The Druid priest told him about the ancestors of the Gauls. The Gauls believed that their ancestors came to Europe from the “Island of Crystal Towers” ​​and brought magic crystals with them. They became the sacred stones of the Druids. The Romans heard about them, but despite all their efforts, they never found one.

Prophecies come true

Before his death, Case indicated the location of one of the surviving submerged temples of Atlantis - east of the Bahamas. In 1995, a submarine discovered the remains of a large stone structure at this location. They lie at a depth of more than 200 meters. The structure resembles megaliths British Isles- huge stones and buildings made from them, as if intended for giants. The fallen multi-ton slabs surrounding the main sanctuary are clearly visible. Now research is being carried out there, and perhaps humanity will soon see evidence of the former greatness of Atlantis raised from the ocean floor...

One of the greatest discoveries in the history of archeology was made in 2000 near Japan. There, on the ocean floor, well-preserved remains stretch for as much as 311 miles ancient city. In the coastal waters of the island of Okinawa, divers discovered eight scattered fragments of the city. Expanding the search, they found other structures nearby. Long streets, majestic boulevards, grandiose staircases, magical vaults, giant blocks of impeccably carved and fitted stone were revealed to their eyes - all of this harmoniously merged into a single architectural ensemble, the likes of which they had never seen.

In September of that year, 300 miles south of Okinawa, a giant pyramidal structure was discovered 100 feet underwater. It turned out to be part of a ceremonial center consisting of wide walking alleys and pylons. The length of the colossal structure is 40 feet.

In the summer of 2001, researchers discovered west coast Cubes, at a depth of more than 2,000 feet, is another submerged city made of giant megalith stones. Upon closer inspection, scientists saw a huge plateau with orderly stone structures (which turned out to be pyramids), rectangular buildings and roads. Researchers believe that underwater city was built at least 6,000 years ago, when this area was above water. They hypothesized that this part of the land plunged into the abyss as a result of an earthquake or volcanic activity.

All of the above contradicts the position of the majority of Western historians and archaeologists, who (since this does not fit into their theories) have always denied, ignored or hidden facts that indicate that humanity appeared on planet Earth much earlier than is generally believed. It is now becoming apparent that human civilization is much older than many believed. These discoveries will force Western archaeologists to rewrite history.

Archeology

Long ago, archaeologist Wikelman accompanied the Seeker in search of the ancient riches of the Sky Island. It was then that a Mysterious Crystal was discovered, endowed with powerful powers. But the seeker's squad was not prepared for the unexpected attack of Zerek's minions, who were hunting for the source of power, and suffered huge losses. Vikelman was able to save the crystal and escape to Lakia, but in exchange he gave up his leg. Under the influence of the attraction of the facies, the crystal split and its parts were spread throughout the territory of Lakia.

Then Johann Wikelmann began to look for volunteers who would dare to collect the mysterious parts and bring them to the archaeologist.

Mysterious jugs are scattered throughout Lakia, by examining them you can, with a certain chance, find the following items:

Locked Relic Chest

Mysterious Crystal Piece

Archaeologist Johann Wikelmann is looking for parts of a mysterious crystal in the city of Basilan on Central Square. He will be able to tell you a fascinating story and tell you how to open the chest of relics.

Attention! To receive a task from Ioan Wikelman, your Prania must be summoned

To open the relic, you need to collect 12 Mysterious Crystal Pieces, from which Johann Wikelman can assemble the Mysterious Crystal.

Opened Relic Chest

Opening " Opened Relic Chest", You will be able to play a mini-game.

Process of the mini-game "Artifact Collector"

Each time you start the mini-game, one random excavation area will be shown.

An indicator in the form of a white square will begin to move through the excavation zones. A locked blue square will indicate the type of item it contains. The remaining cells have a variety of items.

Press the button to stop the indicator. Open the relic and get the item where the indicator stopped.
