  • The Mythology of Atlantis - Searching for the Lost Civilization - cover

    The Mythology of Atlantis -...

    The legend of Atlantis has fascinated historians, philosophers, and adventurers for centuries. First described by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, Atlantis was said to be a powerful and advanced civilization that mysteriously vanished beneath the sea. Despite being written over 2,000 years ago, Plato’s account continues to inspire countless theories, books, and even modern expeditions in search of this lost world. But was Atlantis ever real, or was it simply a metaphor for human folly? Understanding the origins of this myth is crucial to separating historical possibility from pure fantasy.  
      
    Plato’s dialogues, Timaeus* and *Critias, provide the earliest known description of Atlantis. According to him, the island was a technologically superior and wealthy society that existed around 9,000 years before his time. It was said to be located beyond the "Pillars of Hercules," now known as the Strait of Gibraltar. However, due to the moral corruption of its people, the gods allegedly punished Atlantis by submerging it beneath the waves. This dramatic tale has led to endless speculation about whether Plato based it on real events or simply crafted it as an allegory about the dangers of hubris and imperial overreach.  
      
    Interestingly, Atlantis is not the only story of a lost civilization. Cultures around the world have myths of great lands that disappeared under the ocean. In Hindu mythology, the ancient city of Dwarka was said to have been swallowed by the sea. The biblical tale of the Great Flood and even the legends of Lemuria and Mu suggest a shared human fascination with lost worlds. Some researchers argue that these stories could be echoes of real historical disasters, such as the sudden sinking of landmasses due to earthquakes, tsunamis, or rising sea levels. Could Atlantis be another version of these global flood myths?
