The Legend of Atlantis
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The fabled lost city of Atlantis was introduced to the world by the Father of Western Philosophy, Plato himself. He described in detail an advanced island civilization who's unmatched navy came from west of the Mediterranean attempting to destroy Athens, only to be driven back by the scrappy smaller city-state. Due to their slight against a favored city of the gods and their continued hubris a great disaster befell Atlantis destroying it and sinking it below the waves. Now we feel need to mention, as Plato tells it, this place which he very much claims is real, existed 9000 years before Plato was alive. But here's the thing...Plato was a story teller, and the funny thing about stories is a lot of them have a basis in truth. What if there was a place that inspired Plato to create the story of Atlantis? Could that place have existed? Well lets have a little chat and find out.
