THE LOST CITY OF ATLANTIS
The Beginning Thoughts
This city was said to be imaginary, fictional, and not real.
Said to be a myth, an illusion, a thought.
Let’s find out about this “Lost City”
What is Atlantis ?
•A very famous wise man who lived a long time ago Plato wrote about a place called Atlantis• The story goes that Atlantis was a very special place of learning. It was a very good place to live.• Atlantis sank into the ocean !!
Underwater Theory
Some volcanologists and seismologists gathered data and said Atlantis was destroyed cataclysm which is : Violent upheaval that causes great destruction or brings about a fundamental change. A volcano erupted and it was a catastrophe causing tsunamis, ending up in Atlantis burial underwater.
Atlantis Philosophy : Plato
Greek philosopher, Plato talked of Atlantis as if it were in heaven. The resources said that “ His description were of huge island, larger than Libya and Asia put together. It had great mountain ranges, great plains and plenty of animals , like elephants & gardens filled with more splendor that anyone could imagine.”
Plato’s Philosophy continued
Plato put Atlantis in the ocean & then there was a conflict if it was real because of its location on the lost continent. There is no known person who anybody knew for sure who kept this story going but it states “Egyptians helped to preserve the story with their tablets and sacred achieves”. It also thought that Plato lied about the whole thing just to live up to his parables.
Fact or Fiction Argument
There are still argument and doubts going on if it
was a fable or not.
Discovered ?
Years and years later, the city of Atlantis was discovered. Researchers were convinced that they have found it. It was believed that people of Atlantis city were hiding there treasures over there but still the doubt has not been cleared.

What do the experts say about Atlantis?
-The myth of Atlantis was preserved bythe Egyptians.
-Atlantis is the oldest submerged island/City.
Although there are some conflicting reports as to where Atlantis could be or has been, most researchers have concluded that Atlantis was located in the Atlantic Ocean. It was so huge, it stretched from what is now the Gulf of Mexico through the Mediterranean Sea. According to Edgar Cayce, who stated, "In area it can be compared with what is now Europe and Russia. The north and south poles did not occupy their present positions, nor were the land surfaces now existent then above water.” Info from True Origins
The Second Theory of Atlantis
Over 11000 years ago in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean there was an island inhabited by great and wealthy people.
Then greed started to take over them and they were obsessed with money.
Poseidon, the god of water, got mad at them for being obsessed with money. So he made the ocean cover the city of Atlantis and it was gone with the sea.info from the book Unsolved Mysteries
Atlantis.
The Poseidon Theory
This Continent was covered many years ago by great destruction
Overwhelming waves and thunderous earthquakes sank this city underwater
There it stands
became an unsolved mystery and to this day people still wonder where it
The Minoans were the people who lived in the Atlantis Empire
After the continent collapsed, vanished and became a mystery
Just the Minoan Mystery itself is unsolved and surprisingly ties in with Atlantis
•Out of the remainder of the debris, it contained no written documents.
•There was art though. Many clay symbols and other designs were found also.
•Hand writing styles can be discerned from studying the Minoan tablets.
This giant explosion is widely attested in all sorts of myths and traditions such as those concerning Atlantis and Paradise, indeed located in this region of the world. It is universally remembered as the explosion of the Mountain of Paradise (= Mt. Krakatoa, Atlas, Sinai, Zion, Alborj, Qaf, Golgotha, Meru, etc.)
