There are various theories about the location of Atlantis. Plato suggested it was in the Atlantic Ocean near Gibraltar, while others believe it was in the Mediterranean. One theory links Atlantis to Thera, which was destroyed around 1500 BC by a massive volcanic eruption. The city of Akrotiri was buried under ash, which preserved its streets. Despite these theories, many argue that Atlantis is just a myth, with no archaeological evidence proving its existence. Nevertheless, Atlantis is one of the biggest mysteries of our planet, and the search for this city continues.

«The Mystery of the Lost Atlantis»
Some information about the Lost Atlantis:
The Lost Atlantis is one of the most famous legends in history. It is said to be a powerful and advanced civilization that existed thousands of years ago. According to ancient Greek philosopher Plato, Atlantis was an island located beyond the «Pillars of Hercules» (modern-day Strait of Gibraltar). The people of Atlantis were known for their wealth, technology, and great knowledge. However, due to their arrogance and greed, the gods decided to punish them. Atlantis was said to have sunk into the sea in a single day and night, disappearing without a trace. Many people believe Atlantis is just a myth, but others think it might have been real. The mystery of Atlantis continues to fascinate people to this day.

Mr. Alexandros Demetriou, a Greek archaeologist, discussed theories about Atlantis in an interview. He explained that Plato described Atlantis as being near the Rock of Gibraltar, while others suggest its location could be in the Mediterranean Sea or that Thera might be Atlantis. The eruption of the volcano on Thera in 1500 BC buried the city of Akrotiri under 15 feet of ash, preserving its structures. Plato’s description of Atlantis as a wealthy, advanced civilization has inspired explorers and researchers. How ever, many believe Atlantis is a myth, as there is no archaeological evidence to prove its existence.
By Panagiotis Chronas (B4).
Atlantis, the legendary island first described by the Greek philosopher Plato, remains one of history’s greatest mysteries. According to the tale, Atlantis was a powerful and advanced civilization that vanished beneath the sea due to its people’s greed and arrogance.
Legends say Atlantis was rich in knowledge and surrounded by stunning architecture, but its downfall came as punishment from the gods. Despite countless searches, no evidence of this lost civilization has ever been found.
Whether real or mythical, Atlantis continues to captivate imaginations, reminding us of the fragility of even the greatest societies.
