Or, more importantly: Did it even exist? The short answer to both: No. All available evidence indicates that the philosopher Plato, sometime around BCE, invented the island nation in order to illustrate a point about the dangers of aggressive imperialism. Plato laid out the details for what such a state would look like in his famous work, The Republic. According to Gentzler, it should be small and virtuous, and reject ostentation. It was situated in the Atlantic Ocean, somewhere outward from the Strait of Gibraltar.
So how did Atlantis come to represent a lost utopic civilization? For that, you can mostly blame or thank Ignatius Donnelly. In , the former U. Congressman published Atlantis: The Antediluvian World. Donnelly was inspired, says Adams, by a remarkable discovery in the early s. While basically unknown during the Middle Ages , the story of Atlantis was rediscovered by Humanists at the very beginning of modern times.
Plato's description inspired the utopian works of several Renaissance writers, like Francis Bacon's " New Atlantis". More than ever, Atlantis inspires today's literature, from science fiction to comic books and movies.

When not at work, he likes to read, click photographs and go for a ride on his bike. Atlantis is a extravagant study my photos and knowlege of the city is rapidly increasing. My team and I are so close. This information is actually very helpful. Well about what other perople think I will write again when I get closer. I never knew that Atlantis could be inhabited by extra terrestrials lives.
Also for some people, after the destruction of Atlantis, the people of Atlantis started living in Egypt and built the Great Pyramids. The Pharoahs could also be the children of these people because they looked much different than Egyptians. Whatever the truth be, the story of Atlantis will be one of the great mysteries of human history. This is quite amazing.
In school, I was never taught this, but now that I know, I love this toppppppic. But the only thing is would this be true!! Else if it is just the fables of the philosophers, why the world is dying to prove as they know its just a fables? Sometimes i truely believes what the old philosophers says, coz most of the myths in olden days are used to be true but appeared as fictional as it is passed generations to generations.
The island of Atlantis is a fascinating story and the way it disappeared from existence. Plato could be right. I actually have some new information that I have come across in the last two years of research. I would like to discuss with you [however, NOT] in this forum. When you get a chance, please contact me. I am part Spanish Basque and one story was told to us that the Basque people come from Atlantis.
The Basque ppl are also a mystery. Noone knows where the Basque came from before residing in spain. You can check any of this information easily with Google maps. Thank You. I think that we have to search under water with a team of or more people and surely we can find the city of Atlantis and even atlantians also.
We should also be careful. What really is suprising is once found no further investigation has been done. The mass of the Pyramid is eleven times that of the smaller, which is nine times less than the middle pyramid. The great flood that is recorded was caused by the final submerging of Atlantis can you imagine a great land mass that Atlantis was, four hundred thousand miles of land.
Now of course you must understand the stories of the Ark as you have been told could not possibly be actuate, for to house a menagerie of animals such as been written it would be impossible for the dimension of what has been given for the Ark. The land you call the Azores is but the mountain peak of what was once part of this continent.
