Atlantis (the lost city theory)

Atlantis is a legendary island mentioned by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, who described it as a powerful and advanced civilization that suddenly sank into the ocean around 9,000 years before his time. Over centuries, the story has inspired many theories suggesting Atlantis was a real place, possibly located in the Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean, or other regions. While there's no definitive archaeological evidence, some believe Atlantis represents a symbol of lost knowledge, human hubris, or a forgotten advanced society. The myth continues to captivate, blending historical curiosity with imaginative exploration of humanity’s ancient past.
