Certainly, Jamie! Atlantis is a legendary lost city, which was first mentioned by the Greek philosopher Plato in his dialogues "Timaeus" and "Critias." According to Plato's account, Atlantis was an advanced civilization that existed 9,000 years before his time. He described it as a powerful and wealthy kingdom that had conquered much of Western Europe and Africa before being defeated by Athens.
The story of Atlantis has remained a subject of debate among historians, archaeologists and scholars for centuries because there is still no physical evidence to prove its actual existence. Since Plato's original writings on the subject were considered 'mythological' in nature rather than accurate historical accounts. Some believe this suggests an imaginative story that was used as a cautionary tale warning against indulgence or lack of self-discipline.
That said, there are many interesting theories surrounding the possible location and history of Atlantis. What are your thoughts on the matter?
