Ancient Loulan was once a shining pearl on the Silk Road and an important hub connecting the East and the West. However, the bustling city disappeared overnight, as if swallowed by a desert. There are several theories about the reasons for the disappearance of Loulan.
The first theory is that it was destroyed by wind and sand. Due to the over-exploitation of the natural environment by the Loulan people, a large number of natural disasters occurred, and yellow sand spread everywhere, which eventually made Loulan City completely buried.
The second version is war destruction. As a necessary place on the Silk Road, Loulan City has attracted the covetousness of many countries. During the war of the Western Regions, Loulan City was finally wiped out by one or more of the tribes, leaving only the ruins isolated in the desert.
The third version is that the plague is raging. It is said that there was once a huge plague in the ancient city of Loulan, which led to the death of a large number of Loulan people, and finally made Loulan City a ghost town and swallowed up by the desert.
In addition to the ancient kingdom of Loulan, there are some other countries in the world that have mysteriously disappeared. The ancient kingdom of Yelang and the ancient kingdom of Dali are known as the three most mysterious ancient kingdoms in our country. There are very few historical records of Yelang Kingdom, but the poet immortal Li Bai's poem "I send my sorrow and the bright moon, and follow the king until Yelangxi" is well-known. In 28-25 BC, the kingdom of Yoro fought against a small southern state and was defeated, and the country was overthrown overnight.
The fate of Dali and Yelang was similar, and the last monarch was captured by the Mongols and destroyed. In addition to the ancient countries at home, there are also some countries abroad that have disappeared. Atlantis in ancient Greece is one of the most famous. Atlantis has a rich history and a valuable cultural heritage, and its once thriving scene is breathtaking. However, Atlantis also mysteriously disappeared overnight. Archaeologists once thought Atlantis may have sunk to the bottom of the sea.
It is not impossible for the sea to flood a country. As sea levels rise due to global warming, many coastal cities are in danger of being inundated. Tuvalu is one of them. Tuvalu is located in the lowest part of the South Pacific Ocean, with low-lying terrain. As soon as the sea level rises a little, the country will bear the brunt. Although the local** country has moved to New Zealand, the crisis of sea level rise has not been resolved. If sea levels continue to rise, will humans be able to stop them?
The issue of rising sea levels has long been a concern of all countries. Scientists are responding to the challenges of sea level rise by strengthening scientific investigation, monitoring and assessment, strengthening coastal ecological protection and restoration, and fully considering the impact of sea level rise in planning, layout and infrastructure construction. However, this issue is not just a matter for scientists, everyone should be aware that sea level rise is closely related to themselves. Starting from saving water and electricity and protecting the ecological environment is to build a solid line of defense for ourselves and the next generation.
Sea level rise is a concern for all humankind. In the future, the rise of global sea level will lead to the disappearance of coastlines in coastal areas and island countries, which is a huge challenge for mankind. We can't sit still, everyone should take action and do their part to protect our planet. Only by working together can we create a better world for the future.
