Atlantis mythology

Atlantis is a legendary island first mentioned by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato around 360 BCE. He described it as a powerful and advanced civilization that existed about 9,000 years before his time, rich in resources and technology. According to the myth, Atlantis eventually fell out of favor with the gods and sank into the ocean, disappearing without a trace. This story has fueled countless theories and speculation about lost civilizations, and while many consider it a cautionary tale about hubris, others believe it might have been inspired by real places or events from history.
