The Evidence That The Lost City of Atlantis Existed?

I was lost, then I was found, you might hear some of the wonders of the world say if they could speak. We might look at perhaps the best known once-lost city in Machu Picchu, that was abandoned in the 16th century and discovered again in the 20th century. Then you have the spellbinding city of Angkor in Cambodia, which was never really lost, but certainly needed a lot of restoration for it to look as magnificent as it does today. We also have cities that are perhaps only legends, El Dorado, The Lost City of Gold; or The Lost City of Z, whose mystery lured explorers from Europe… and some never returned home. But today we’ll talk about perhaps greatest legend of them all, in this episode of the Infographics Show, The Evidence That The lost city of Atlantis Existed.
If we want to know the origins of the city of Atlantis we have to go back to the great, Greek ancient philosopher known as Plato. You’ve probably heard of the guy. Some writers have said all philosophy is just a footnote to Plato, while he’s the man that wrote the Socratic dialogues; he came up with The Cave allegory we still talk about today and he advanced ideas on justice, law, and learning that we all should be thankful for. With that in mind, if Plato was the one that started the story of Atlantis, perhaps we should take him seriously?
Well, while there are still people that believe Atlantis was real, most others, tell us Plato told that tale as an allegory, meaning the story had a hidden meaning in it. Plato said in 360 B.C. that these Atlanteans had a pretty good life. No doubt if such a thing existed back then, Atlantis would have come very high in standard of living indexes. The people that lived there were human, but also God-like, according to Plato. Where the island is, is actually widely debated, with some saying that the island, and surrounding islands, were just somewhere in the Mediterranean, and others saying near Spain, in the Pacific, the Caribbean or even close to Antarctica. The place is described as having one main island, with smaller islands surrounding it. It was a wonderful spot, too, where exotic wildlife not seen anywhere else wandered around, and where precious metals were plentiful. It was said living there was a Utopian existence, before Sir Thomas More wrote his book 'Utopia’ in 1516 and we started using that word to mean the apogee of human civilization. You get the picture, Atlantis was supposed to be perfect in every way. No one messed with the Atlanteans, either, because they had an impenetrable navy.

The first documented use of Atlantic was in the sixth century BC by a Greek poet, Atlantikôi pelágei or the “Sea of Atlas.” Atlantis first. Although this is kind of irrelevant as the in the original text, Plato used the word Atlas instead. But because of the grammatical error, it is now known as the Atlantis. But both words have the same origin the Titan god, Atlas who was doomed to carry the heavens or the sky.

Alright, this is an old video, but hear me out. Near the island of Sardinia, Italy, there are underwater ruins of buildings from thousands of years ago. They were also somewhat advanced for their age. There were also signs of volcanic rock and ash burying the buildings deeper underwater, so I and many others speculate that Atlantis was in Sardinia! Also, to drive my point, the ancient Sardinians were already somewhat advanced early on in human culture.

I learned in school that Plato had a source for his stories. He talked to a man in Egypt who's name I now have forgotten, but it was some kind of priest who told him about Atlantis. It was said to have happened 10 000 years before that which had to be around the time of the flood. It's true there must be something behind that flood. There's proof of it when you look at the sphinx, which has traces of erosion.

[@robertw.9566]

Learning something from school means completely nothing on topics like this. If half the people in the world believed in Atlantis being a real place at one point then that means there is a 50% shot you were told about it from someone that wants you to think the same thing. Plato was able to leave traces of his writing for us to read about it today. But the rest of the population back then had no idea about Atlantis because you would think that the knowledge of a place that large would have more stories about it through time.

Just because the Sphinx has traces of erosion does not mean it was caused by the Great Flood, there are thousands of other ways the Sphinx could have been eroded, from human interaction, to weather, to literally the passage of time causes things to erode. Also just because Plato had a singular source, that doesn't automatically make his point valid.

[@TheFallenAdonael]

I’ve discussed myths before. Atlantis is always thrown into the ring at one point or another. Perhaps Plato not only meant Atlantis to be an allegory for “pride before the fall”, but for an Utopia humanity will never reach (and/or keep). Humans will always ruin something, that’s a proven fact (forgive my generalizations) that history has demonstrated several times over. Rome, Greece, Egypt- once great cultures that were devastated by humanity (with nature helping). This isn’t me saying that Atlantis as a lost city doesn’t exist, because this godforsaken Earth of ours keeps spitting out the impossible it seems.

Actually that’s totally incorrect Plato learned of Atlantis from Solon, it was passed through the generations of his family....

[@christianmeyers7149]

Jordy 54 that’s at least that’s the story he wrote yes. And according to him, Solon learned of it through the Egyptians. Not siding with or against you, but it is possible he could’ve made it up, seeing as they stated much of what he and other philosophers write is purely allegorical. It is also possible it was written in some ancient Egyptian texts that have been lost somewhere to time.

It could be an allegory, or it could be real. I’m just saying we don’t know and you can’t take the writing of one man as proof of the existence of any specific situations.

Nope. Solon went to Egypt and the priests there told him about Atlantis. Solon was Plato's ancestor from his mothers side. And that's how he was supposed to have heard of the story. But apart from that, Plutarch also mentions Atlantis quite a bit. As Atlantis was also know as Ogygia, it is even mentioned by Homer.

@@PVempati the problem is Atlantis was in the Atlantic. But many several civilisations are said to have emerged around 12.000 years ago but were destroyed by a cataclismic event, most probably because of a comet that melted most of the ice and caused a flood.

Pasted from an earlier reply to someone another similar comment; "[The Richat Structure] is/was definitely not Atlantis as the rings can only be seen from the air and what Plato was describing was more similar to Dante's visions than a massive geologic structure so big that its shape is obscured by the curvature of the Earth's surface. The area has also been studies quite a bit and while there is evidence of ancient people's there is no proof of Atlantis or any else that confirms Plato's writings except the shape, but again; it can only be seen from the air."

The eruption of the Thera volcano was very likely the strong inspiration for Plato's Atlantis story. After all, we have the geologic evidence that the northern coast of Crete was swamped by a massive tsunami around the same the time Thera erupted--a tsunami powerful enough to wipe out the Minoan culture on the northern coast of that island.

[@anchalsinghi4455]

There is a similar story about Dwarka City of Krishna, which sung under the city. Should definitely look into it. Mind blowing story.

[@Sanakudou]

The eye of the Sahara is the most likely location I’ve heard of, but at the very least it’s an area worth looking at regardless of whether you’re searching for a specific lost city, it’s so perfectly symmetrical which implies it could be remnants of something man made. Hopefully there’s a rich person out there that’ll one day fund something like that, it’s a shame money is such a barrier when trying to learn about the past.

[@akimus34]

Hi there, the Eye is not perfectly symmetrical at ground level. Only from space does it look smooth and symmetrical. It is in fact a large geological rock formation (not man made) with no evidence of human cities within (only visits by local Hunter gatherer tribes). There’s no evidence Plato would have even known it existed. He likely made up Atlantis, or was thinking of Greek or other eastern Mediterranean cities that had been destroyed in the past or his own lifetime.

I believe Atlantis exists because in Indian mythology there is a similar kingdom called Dwaraka which ended due to a curse.

Guys if you want to see where Atlantis really is then look up the Eye of the Sahara or the Richard structure, it's barely talked about and geologists are confused about its origin as its far too unusual to be natural. It's strikingly similar to how Plato described Atlantis, the circular islands with the nearby mountains and the whole area looks like it was hit by a tsunami. Not to mention a few of human artifacts have been discovered there but it's never been excavated. Whether it's truly Atlantis is up for speculation but if you don't believe me then look it up.

[@katherinedohogne8148]

I still feel as though there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding this claim. However, the similarities are interesting.

[@petejones8312]

Weird all those civilizations going out at the same time.

[@johnaduvall3861]

But seriously folks...the most probable explanation is that Plato was referring (perhaps to some extent metaphorically) to the Thera (Santorini) eruption, which in fact did reign significant destruction on Mediterranean civilization. Of course, that happened much more recently than the time cited by Plato. But since he may have received the story from Egyptian historians, the possibility exists that he misinterpreted the date by a factor of ten, thus positing Atlantean civilization as having existed thousands of years earlier. That's my best guess.

[@Drakior]

Richat Structure. Due to time, water rising/flood, and volcano caused it to disappear. Also you are sadly incorrect, Atlantis came from Herodotus, Father of History, who wrote it down and then Plato wrote about it. Country where Richat structure is at had an ancient King named Atlas, Atlantis literally means City of Atlas. There is so much more.

This video is a classic example of Occam’s Razor. It says that Atlantis was a city that the Greek philosopher Plato told stories about, stating it was a “perfect” civilization where the people were “god-like” but also human. Then, these people started to get corrupt and greedy, trying to expand into other places and losing their way. For that, the gods sent them earthquakes, floods, and other disasters and wiped out the civilization. Then he said in a single night, Atlantis sank into the sea. Many people to this day still debate whether this story was true. Many debate the location of Atlantis. Some think it was in the Mediterranean, others say the Caribbean, and some even think it was near Antarctica. People have been searching for this lost civilization, but no specific evidence has been found. Even after all this time of people searching and searching and no evidence has been found, some still believe that The Lost City of Atlantis is out there. This is a classic example of Occam’s Razor, where the simplest answer is the most likely one. Atlantis was most likely an allegory made by Plato on the hubris of nations, as there has been no evidence other than the story that Plato told of this civilization ever existing. Plato most likely told this story to teach people a lesson, as he never told anyone a location or gave any objective evidence of Atlantis's existence.

It did exist. Everything was beautiful, pretty, amazing. Clean af. You could stair at the buildings for hours. Another level of elegance. Love filled the streets, honor was a constant, new ideas were welcomed embraced and used to the good of all the people. Until like the guy said, they started delving into another dimension. They grew tired of the peace, the calm, and wanted something new. The problem was their way of being gave them powers. They were super humans. So when they tried different emotions, it impacted them very badly. Even more so cause they’re higher way of thinking. It destroyed them. A dark flood consumed them all. Or did it? They’re might still be survivors. Of course the survivors cross bread with the regular humans.
