Les Atlantes

Les Atlantes, or the Atlanteans, refer to the mythical inhabitants of Atlantis, a legendary island mentioned by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. In his dialogues "Timaeus" and "Critias," he describes Atlantis as a powerful civilization that existed around 9,000 years before his time but eventually sank into the ocean due to catastrophic events. Atlantis has captivated human imagination, inspiring various interpretations in literature, art, and modern culture, often symbolizing lost wisdom and the quest for knowledge. The story of Atlantis raises questions about human hubris and the balance between civilization and nature.
