The Lost City Of Atlantis (Continued)

The Lost City of Atlantis is a fictional island nation that was first mentioned by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato around 360 BCE. In his works, Plato describes Atlantis as a utopian island kingdom that existed 9,000 years before his time. The island was destroyed by earthquakes and floods during a 24-hour period. The story of Atlantis is part of an allegory on the hubris of nations. In the story, Atlantis is described as a naval empire that ruled all Western parts of the known world. The gods became angry with the people of Atlantis because they had become greedy and morally bankrupt. As punishment, the gods sent a terrible night of fire and earthquakes that caused Atlantis to sink into the sea. The quest for the lost Atlantis has fascinated people for thousands of years. The Netflix hit Ancient Apocalypse is the latest interpretation of the enduring tale.
