As some claim that the Lost City of Atlantis was on Mars, or was just a colony of an alien civilization, the inhabitants of the Atlantis city are believed to have the possessors of exceptional powers such as the ability to control the weather, modify volcanic eruptions.
Some accounts also mention their possession of some sort of device that allowed them to channel energy from time and space. Even though the myth says that the inhabitants of Atlantis City were superior beings, there are some of the opinions that it is just a mythical representation of a barbaric fashion of life.
While many still consider the Lost City of Atlantis is just a legend, there are many conspiracy theories doing the rounds suggesting that the fable is actually based on real events. Ocean explorer Robert Ballard finds logic in the story as it has similarities with a massive volcanic eruption in the island of Santorini in the Aegean Sea near Greece.
Ballard says a highly advanced society that lived there disappeared suddenly as happened with the Atlantis. Similarly, Ignatius Donnelly also confirms the existence and disappearance of a mid-Atlantic continent that was in the exact location that Plato mentioned.
As the debate goes on, few researchers claimed that this utopian kingdom was a real continent located off the Bahamas and it was swallowed up by the Bermuda Triangle later, while another group suggested current Antarctica is the newer version of Atlantis. Meanwhile, James Romm, a professor at Bard College in Annandale in New York, says Plato himself created the story in order to convey some of his philosophical theories, mostly about his vision of an ideal civilization.

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. So why is this story still repeated more than 2, years after Plato's death? It has a lot of elements that people love to fantasize about. Plato told the story of Atlantis around B. The founders of Atlantis, he said, were half god and half human.
They created a utopian civilization and became a great naval power. Their home was made up of concentric islands separated by wide moats and linked by a canal that penetrated to the center. The lush islands contained gold, silver, and other precious metals and supported an abundance of rare, exotic wildlife. There was a great capital city on the central island.
There are many theories about where Atlantis was—in the Mediterranean, off the coast of Spain, even under what is now Antarctica. Plato said Atlantis existed about 9, years before his own time, and that its story had been passed down by poets, priests, and others. But Plato's writings about Atlantis are the only known records of its existence. Few, if any, scientists think Atlantis actually existed. Ocean explorer Robert Ballard, the National Geographic explorer-in-residence who discovered the wreck of the Titanic in , notes that "no Nobel laureates" have said that what Plato wrote about Atlantis is true.
Still, Ballard says, the legend of Atlantis is a "logical" one since cataclysmic floods and volcanic explosions have happened throughout history, including one event that had some similarities to the story of the destruction of Atlantis. About 3, years ago, a massive volcanic eruption devastated the island of Santorini in the Aegean Sea near Greece. So real history probably gave rise to the Greek myth of Minos, king at Knossos, and the Minotaur bull-headed monster in a maze under his palace.
The Minoans of Thera and elsewhere likely dominated the Greeks through sea power, so stories of empires and excessive pride make sense, from a Greek point of view. Unfortunately for the Minoans, Thera was a volcano. And sometime around B. A few ridges of land survived — now called the islands of Santorini — but most of Thera fell beneath the sea, including the great Minoan towns. This is one of the stories told in my book, The Jericho River!
From time to time, archaeologists and historians locate evidence—a swampy, prehistoric city in coastal Spain; a suspicious undersea rock formation in the Bahamas—that might be a source of the Atlantis story. Of these, the site with the widest acceptance is the Greek island of Santorini ancient Thera , a half-submerged caldera created by the massive second-millennium-B.
