The Older Days of Anime | Spartacus and the sun under the sea

Well friends, today I am going to refer to an old series that surely marked several of us, both in the time of the 80s that it was where it was broadcast here in Venezuela, I mean nothing more and nothing less than the series entitled "Espartaco and the sun under the sea ”, where very, very mythical, very extraordinary stories take place that we are going to remember little by little and we are going to see it broadly to be able to evoke it, perhaps many of which at the time could not be understood, because One of the very remarkable things is that despite being an animation for children it was also a very complex story, in fact, as far as I remember, I lived it in the 80s it generated in children a certain fear, a certain fear And that is because of the types of characters, the context, the music, the atmosphere that is generated in the series itself was very very sublime, so in my opinion it has certain nuances of mysticism and that it is directed directly to the subconscious of the children so that of that In the long term, some kind of intelligence and consciousness could be generated and forged.

The series tells the story of the people of Arcadia, a very ancient but technologically advanced civilization, prospered a lot while it was on the surface of the earth, one day due to a great cataclysm many continents sank into the sea and the survivors of Arcadia decide to take refuge in the center of the earth where they create an artificial sun called Tera.

The Sun called Tera provides them with enough heat so that said civilization can survive in the bowels of the earth, this is very curious because in parallel there are stories of the Interterrenal world, the so-called world of substrata, there are many stories about this, Jules Verne was a of the pioneers in formulating these ideas, and who mention that there are openings at the poles and through the strata it is possible to access an inter-terrain world where these past civilizations would exist that succumbed to certain cataclysms and in order to survive they had to go to the distances from these openings and surviving there from an alternate time very different from the earth's surface.

Over the years the arcana that are the beings that lived in the bowels of the earth evolve and lose their legs and move in a different way, these are the characters that me in particular have always frightened me because of their mysticism, their sublime power and its way of radiating something abstract that obviously one being a small draws too much attention, the arcana live happily and have decided to forget their terrible past and after the passing of the years the millennia all forget about what their experience was on the surface of the earth.

The problem lies when their sun begins to perish, it begins to die before that they resort to a large computer that is in the secret archives of Arcadia, a place that they were forbidden to enter and especially to know about their past, therefore , they create through their powers an emissary called arcana that is sent to the surface of the earth to interact with these children who believe in legends and they venture through the strata to travel to the bowels of the earth and meet countless characters such as Galileo Galilei, Einstein who most appears the emperor of china and well other great ancient scientists.

The main missions that the characters develop are two very particular and the most relevant, which are one to search for the little oracite that was a type of secret key to be able to redeem those who are called the prisoners of lost time, the other mission was to be able to send to this emissary called arcana to the surface and I can heal this sun called Tera from the center of the earth, there are two oracites and these characters spend the entire series trying to find this secret key that will make Spartacus and the others free from this dark character that It is Archad, the guardian of the prisoners of lost time.

This Archad keeps all those who are subjugated to his power ignorant so one of the functions of arcana is mainly to be able to claim them to see the reality to which they were subjected, finally they realize that the main oracite the secret key is something very simple if they carry it out, they can see it through an engraving in some rocks very similar to stonehenge in England and they come out as all the characters holding hands, then they infer that the secret key would be the unity of all being conscious , of all working together and not divided, therefore once they hold hands in the final chapter, they return to their origin and are surprised that each one was a very important character in the story, in a past that was perhaps erased.

They transform and realize what they were originally as priests of Egypt, of Sumeria, of other great Mayan civilizations among others, final chapter something very important very interesting happens, which is when they meet and consult with a computer that finally reveals them what happened what happened to them and their ancestors, that when this great cataclysm occurred some of them to save themselves had to create an alternate time in the bowels of the earth inside and others were sent to other galaxies to other planets to colonize and the people who were remaining on earth and who were going to succumb imminently to the great cataclysm asked how it would be possible to know their past and they told them, "don't worry, we will tell those we meet along the way" and that was gradually distorting itself until it disappeared and then not knowing anything about what it was, a curious thing about all this is that when the children part In their adventure they do it precisely at the time their mother was cooking so they take advantage of going to a cave where for the first time they interact with Arcana and Spartacus, from then on the whole journey begins that makes them experience so many adventures that They occur throughout the course of the series and the funny thing is that when the series ends the mother is just calling them to lunch, that is, months have passed or perhaps how much more could have happened in the interior of the earth and for the mother that was nothing more a couple of minutes, something very relative.

Finally I leave you the opening song of the series that is very good and tells the summary of the story, here I present it in three languages.
