"Atlantis (in Greek, Ἀτλαντὶς νῆσος, "island of Atlas") is a legendary island first mentioned in Plato's dialogues Timaeus and Critias"

As people say "Atlantis" was once a continent on the atlantic ocean. A place where a high-technology has been developed. A city wall was made of gold. A temple was made of silver. There's a park and a racecourse but all of the continent collasped in one day.

By the belief "Atlantis" was collasped by "Poseidon" who built it himself. The name "Atlantis" came from the name of his son "Atlas". People suspect that atlantis once located at the mediterranean sea because of the gold that has been digged.

Plato "A philosopher of Greek" wrote about this 300 years before in the book name's "Timaeus and Critias" He claimed that a man name's Solon who spread this story out learnt it from an Egyptian Priest.

An academician doubt that a civilization from all around the world in the past such as Mesopotamia, Inca, Maya, Aztec and including stonehenge or pyramid may came from the heritage of "Atlantis".

In the book name's "Lost Continents: Atlantis" described that Antarctic Continent maybe a place where "Atlantis" located in the past because of the belief that


"Atlantis" is the land surrounded by the ocean and for 12,000 years ago the area of  Bering Strait was a connection of Asia and North America. Africa had connected with Asia before Suez Canal was digged.
and before the discovery of North America and South America this two continents has connected before the excavation of Panama Canal by Spain. With all of this reference we could tell that all of the continent has ever connected with each other and surrounded the Atlantis Island."


By the hearsay of Egyptian Priest we can summerize for 5 contents where the locate of "Atlantis".
1. Located on a large plain.
2. Located near ocean.
3. Located between the middle of the farthest distance of the continent.
4. Head through the island.
5. Surrounded by the mountains.


But it's just an assumption because we can't answer certianly for the place where is the location of "Atlantis" until today. but if we can find it I'm sure the delopment of technology nowadays will be more expanded.
