Atlantis is one of history’s most enduring mysteries—a legendary lost civilization first described by the Greek philosopher Plato in the 4th century BCE. According to his account, Atlantis was a mighty island kingdom beyond the Pillars of Hercules, rich in resources, advanced in knowledge, and powerful enough to challenge the known world. But in a single catastrophic day and night, it supposedly sank beneath the waves, leaving nothing but myth behind. For centuries, scholars, explorers, and dreamers have debated whether Atlantis was a real place, a moral allegory, or a mixture of both. Some link it to the Minoans of Crete, others to distant lands across the Atlantic, while modern theories see it as a timeless parable about hubris and the fall of civilizations. In this episode, we explore the legend, theories, and legacy of Atlantis—the city that may never have existed, yet continues to captivate the imagination of the world. #history #ancienthistory #historydocumentary #historyforsleep
