Official discovery of the legendary island of Atlantis
Luigi Usai
Description
This dataset contains a comprehensive collection of academic papers authored by Dr. Luigi Usai, documenting the official discovery of Atlantis. Dr. Usai’s groundbreaking work redefines the understanding of the lost civilization of Atlantis, which he identifies as the Sardinian-Corsican geological block. These papers, meticulously translated into multiple languages, offer a paradigm shift in historical, archaeological, and linguistic research. Key Features: Multilingual Collection: The dataset includes papers in several languages, including English, Italian, French, Spanish, German, and others, to facilitate global accessibility. Scientific Paradigm Shift: The papers propose that the ancient Nuragic civilization of Sardinia and Corsica was a key element in the Atlantis myth, supported by geological, linguistic, and historical evidence. This discovery is presented as a transformative model for interpreting ancient Mediterranean civilizations. Extensive Research: The dataset spans a wide range of topics, archaeological evidence, linguistic parallels, and religious connections between the Nuragic civilization and other ancient peoples, including the Hebrews and Egyptians. Detailed Theoretical Framework: Dr. Usai’s papers explore in-depth the connections between ancient texts (such as Plato’s “Timaeus” and “Critias”), geographical toponymy, and the linguistic evolution of Indo-European languages from an Atlantean root. The work also delves into the Out of Atlantis Theory, which suggests the spread of culture and language from the Sardinian-Corsican block across Europe. Collaboration and Peer Review: These papers, while originally developed independently, have been shared across various open-access platforms such as Zenodo, Figshare, HAL, and others, to invite academic collaboration and critical peer review. Historical Cartography and Atlantean Geography: The work reinterprets ancient maps and historical sources to localize Atlantis in the Sardinian-Corsican block, providing compelling cartographic evidence of the submerged parts of this once-thriving civilization. Cultural and Religious Parallels: The dataset also discusses parallels between Atlantis, the Garden of the Hesperides, and other Mediterranean mythologies, providing a cultural-historical context for this discovery. Dataset Contents: Papers in Multiple Languages: Complete translations of key research papers. Supplementary Materials: Maps, diagrams, and visual evidence supporting the discovery. DOI Links for Citation: Each paper is provided with a DOI for citation and academic use. Research Applications: This dataset is a crucial resource for researchers in fields such as Archaeology Linguistics Historical Geography Mediterranean Studies Religious Studies Mythology By making these papers accessible in multiple languages, Dr. Usai invites global collaboration and seeks to expand the academic conversation around the lost civilization of Atlantis and its enduring influence on ancient history.
