  • Summary


  • The legend of the lost continent of Atlantis is a mythical tale that has captivated imaginations for centuries. According to the ancient philosopher Plato, Atlantis was an advanced civilization that existed around 9,000 years before his time, around 11,000 years ago. Atlantis was said to be a powerful and prosperous empire, with magnificent architecture, advanced technology, and a highly developed society. Plato described Atlantis as a large island located beyond the "Pillars of Hercules," which are believed to be the modern-day Strait of Gibraltar. It was said to be ruled by ten powerful kings who controlled a vast territory. However, due to their greed and arrogance, the Atlanteans were eventually defeated by an Athenian army and were submerged beneath the ocean, vanishing completely. The story of Atlantis has sparked countless theories and speculation about its actual existence. Some believe Atlantis was once a real place that fell victim to a catastrophic event, such as a volcanic eruption or earthquake. Others view it as purely a mythological tale, serving as a moral lesson about the consequences of hubris. Despite numerous attempts to locate Atlantis, no concrete evidence has been found to confirm its existence. The legend of Atlantis continues to captivate the human imagination, leading to various interpretations in literature, films, and popular culture. It remains one of the most enduring legends of a lost civilization.
