The Lost City of Atlantis

The legend of the lost city of Atlantis is one of the oldest

mysteries in the world. More than 2000 years ago, the

famous philosopher Plato wrote about a magical island

that disappeared into the ocean in just one day and one

night. Ever since, people have been searching for this

lost island, trying to solve the mystery.

Plato described Atlantis as a magical place with

palaces, temples, fountains with hot and cold water,

and buildings and statues covered with gold.

The city was built on a hill and surrounded by canals.

A huge canal connected the city to the ocean.

The Atlantians were wealthy and well educated and

Atlantis was a powerful empire. For a long time

everything was peaceful, but as time passed the people

became greedy. Plato told people that the god Zeus

became furious with the Atlantians and decided to

teach them a lesson. Plato ends his story here,

so nobody knows what really happened.

According to Plato, Atlantis existed 11000 years ago

and was located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

Several scientists have tried to find Atlantis, and there

are many theories as to where it was located and why it

disappeared. No one has found it yet. So perhaps the

story of Atlantis is just a myth? What do you think?
