What Happened To Atlantis?

Check out what happened to atlantis! This top 10 list shows the most current theories surrounding the location of the mysterious los city of atlantis!

10. It’s the Island of Santorini
A common view is that Atlantis was actually part of Santorini, a small island in the East Mediterranean that was partly-destroyed by the mighty Volcano of Thera in 1646 BC. Yeah, a looong time ago. Geologists have suggested that if you reconstruct the island of Santorini, you can see that this complete version, before it was destroyed by the volcano, used to be Plato’s mysterious island of legend!

9. The Black Sea
Some are happy to believe that Atlantis was just a made up story of legend. But others believe it was a real place. Not only that, but it was actually something else. The theory of Atlantis being located in the Black Sea region is a great example of this. It all centers on the rise of ocean levels following the last Ice Age.

8. Under Antarctica
Atlantis is usually believed to have somewhere warm, possibly around the Mediterranean, and you’d probably need your sunscreen (if it had been invented yet). However an American historian thought the truth was very different. And colder! Prof. Charles A Hapgood went on record in the 1950s as believing the mythical island was in fact, part of Antarctica.

7. Is It Based on Truth?
Atlantis is often portrayed as being the perfect society, a peaceful utopia that was very technologically advanced. However, if you look at where the legend started, in Plato’s dialogues written in 330 BC, he describes a place that is just like any other.
According to him, it was a technologically advanced society that was wealthy, and had a very powerful military but it was also corrupt. He claims that Atlantis battled against the city of Athens who came out the hero.

6. It was founded by Lemurians
An old idea about Atlantis is that it’s connected to the lost continent of Lemuria. Lemuria was believed to be located in the Indian or Pacific oceans but their continent sunk due to volcanic activity. They were beings who could travel between dimensions by altering the matter in their bodies. Plate tectonic theory and the existence of other continents strongly discount that this ever existed.

5. Lost in the Bermuda Triangle
Plato talks about how Atlantis was swallowed by the sea in a single day. Even so, you’d think that over the centuries someone would have stumbled on something concrete to prove the island existed right? Well this kind of happened in the late 1960s.

4. It’s in the Bahamas
If you’re in the United States then Atlantis may be closer than you think. To be more precise it could be 50 miles east of Miami! There lies the island of Bimini, part of a chain of islands in the Bahamas. Just 20 feet (6m) under the water there are some mysterious stones which could show the existence of Plato’s fabled kingdom.

3. Founded by Aliens
You know I couldn’t leave this theory out, since so many people out there actually believe this stuff, no thanks to Ancient Aliens on the History Channel! Supposedly aliens landed on our planet in its infancy and helped in the development of our ancient cultures, one of which was Atlantis.

2. It’s in Morocco
A German computer genius named Michael Hübner came up with a unique approach to finding Atlantis in 2008 when he gave a presentation at the Atlantis Conference in Athens. Others had taken an archaeological approach or used mysticism to locate Plato’s fantasy island.

1.Plato Made It Up
I’m sad to say that the most realistic theory is that Atlantis was made up by Plato, the Athenian philosopher who first told the world about it. Plato lived between 424-328 BC. The legendary island with an advanced civilization was described in his Dialogues titled ‘Timaeus’ and ‘Critias’ which were written around 330 BC.

It's so scary to think what is under the ocean and imagine how many lost cities and other stuff is flooded

[cedrickmiraflores]

The reasons why we cant find atlantis because were not truly ready to see it.

[estevandyck]

I think Atlantis is real because us humans have only discovered 5% of the entire ocean 🐳

[spec]

From stories I've read, Atlnatis was a very rich island but then an earthquake happened and it began to sink. Everyone drowned, and the rich city became decayed over time to seem like regular garbage at the bottom of the ocean.

[judemanning]

I think ATLANTIs is in the ATLANTIc ocean

[TheTruthVision]

Nothing happened to Atlantis. It still exists and well, it just went incognito!. Do not forget that we only know the continents THEY taught us ..and we are going based on that!..there is much more to this place than we can imagine! ..everything that we know is what we NEED to know, which is what they control and what is in their “system” everything else we must NOT know because that would heavily crush why their system.

Atlantis is “eye of the Sahara”. Plato described that Atlantis is made of 3 concentric circles of land and water, A picture of the eye of the Sahara clearly shows the circles. It’s also super similar to the exact measurement of how wide the real Atlantis shouldve been. The structure’s located in the land Mauritania, its first King’s name is Atlas. Atlantis’s ruler’s name is Atlas. There are whale bones that aren’t fossilized there, meaning it was underwater before

Them: where is Atlantis

Atlantis did exist and has been discovered. It is located in Mauritania in Africa and is called the Richat Structure or Eye of the Sahara. It fits the description given by the Greeks. It is beyond the Pillars of Hercules, it has the dimensions of the ring structure described, it has the mountains to the north, and it has the red, black, and white stones used in construction. Expeditions are going there. Ancient maps also show this as the location of Atlantis. You can check this out on YouTube.

Ok let’s ask aquaman! He should probably know

[jamesfry]

a lot of people though troy was just a myth but that was found so maybe atlantis is real

[Twist_UAP]

Thats wierd because Plato was not the first to talk about Atlantis he got it from Solon who got it from Egypt who got it from Atlantis I think it is the eye of the shara

[mariojuric]

Here are 4 good reasons why we havent fount Atlantis yet:
1) Atlantis is hiding somewhere in the parts of the unexplored ocean
2) Atlantis is buried by the sand
3) Atlantis is *SO* deep down below the imaginable so we cant find it
4) Atlantis doesn't even exist.

[lunaramoon]

it stares us all in the face,
It's the Eye of Africa

[Slowmotion]

I don't know if Atlantis existed or not, but I do know there are potentially limitless underwater cities all across the world's coastlines that need much more exploration and research.

[killkojo]

What if Atlantis is all over at the bottom of every ocean and is the same length of the earth?

What if Atlantis is earth in the future?

The Bermuda Triangle makes a lot more sense because of the magnetic shift that most older navigation systems have found there. It was rumoured in most texts that they were vastly more advanced than most of civilizations of the time, likely more advanced than us. It is entirely possible they had power, understood magnetic energy, ie the magneto in your small engines but on a larger scale.

[animeweaboo]

Probably its in THE Bermuda Triangle....






Only three people know it...God, spongebob and AQUAMAN

[Jackk.A]

Atlantis is in Mauritania. It’s in a dry desert land look it up

[-mg]

Scientists only have explored 5% of the worlds sea
