Amidst the biting cold of Antarctica, in the dawn of 2012, an enigmatic “edifice” began to emerge, hinting at the ancient city’s vestiges encased in its icy grip.
Spanning a staggering 400 feet, this peculiar structure, bearing the mark of human hands, fuels speculations of a concealed city beneath the frosty crust. The icy realm of Antarctica, largely untouched by human presence, has been encased in this frost for an estimated 6,000 years.
Initially dismissed as a mere sastrugi, nature’s etchings from fierce winds on the snow, its oval shape with crisp outlines beg for a deeper inquiry.
This discovery was soon overshadowed by an even more beguiling find: a pyramid-like formation piercing through the icy façade. Whispers of a city, long concealed beneath the ice, gained momentum.
Many a researcher speculate this sprawling anomaly, tucked 848 meters beneath, stretches across 151 kilometers. Legends and conspiracy theorists alike, with bated breath, propose that this might be the resting place of the legendary Atlantis.
According to ancient tales, vast swathes of Antarctica lay untouched by ice around 12,000 years ago, providing a haven for ancient civilizations, courtesy of tectonic shifts. Perhaps, before the last Ice Age encapsulated it, a thriving society lived and breathed here. Could this be Plato’s Atlantis, a grand city of demigods and mortals, spoken of in hushed tones since 360BC?
Adding to this enigma are striking resemblances between these Antarctic structures and ancient ruins nestled in Southern Africa’s heart. Located in Mpumalanga’s Emakhazeni, these remnants seem to share an eerie kinship with Antarctica’s mysteries. Built of resilient dolerite, the African structure’s estimated age is a staggering 200,000 years. The uncanny similarity in the construction techniques between the two suggests an intertwined past, a common hand, or perhaps, a shared legacy.
