When it comes to the Atlantis empire, there are hundreds of books and movies about the lost island. What it is and where it was remains to be mysteries. Much clarity can come from this In two essays from the Greek philosopher Plato, in Timaeus and Critias to be exact, Atlantis was mentioned in passing and this spearheaded the ongoing fascination of both professionals and amateurs. When it comes to this, a bookstore online has 438 titles. Releasing the full length movie Atlantis The Lost Empire was the Disney company.
It would be a wondrous feat for Plato to make something like Atlantis up, a sacred island beholding the sunlight not to mention one that brings about a fair abundance, according to the scholars who were also believers. Is Atlantis Attributable to some other historian other than Plato? What happened to Plato was that he died several years after without mentioning how factual Atlantis is.
It was Solon the historian who gave Plato the idea of Atlantis and he did exist. As said by skeptics, Plato might have been fooled by Solon's made up tale. Writing about such a place like Atlantis, a land made up of rings with the royal palace in the middle and canals leading to the cities surrounded by statues and bath houses, would have been impossible for the capabilities of the highly intellectual Plato to accomplish.
For Plato the demise of Atlantis occurred in 9000 BC but there is much doubt to this claim for such a place, advanced enough to be able to make nuclear bombs not to mention a number of flying machines, could have existed for more than this determined time. Other than this, there is the question of where Atlantis is. When it comes to the location, Thira was one speculation but it was destroyed by a volcano in 1470 BC.
For Atlantis' location, another one would be off of the coast of Spain in the Azores in the Atlantic. Most of the time when underwater ruins are discovered, they are usually attributed to Atlantis. A number of European explorers relied on maps with Atlantis located in them for sailing the world.
Rather impressive flying machines were made from the elephant skins that they had lots of there. For the location of Atlantis, there is also the coast of modern Bimini. Some people survived even when the place was devastated. By ending up in Egypt, these survivors shared their expertise with the rest of the world. A secret chamber in the Great Sphinx houses records of Atlantis.
Ice only covered Antarctica around 4000 BC. Nothing but underground explosions and seismic upheavals were experienced beforehand. A majority of these were highly powerful and able to eliminate civilizations. From an author came the information that Atlantis was an island in the Atlantic ocean and this discovery came from his research attempts as he was writing about it. The untimely demise came about after a nuclear explosion hit. They had their own line of nuclear weapons like we do today. Atlantis' demise was because of their own fault during a civil war as they used nuclear weaponry.
