What do you and a small 1st Century Roman Child have in common? That’s right, you were both told the tale of the lost city of Atlantis and got caught up in its mystery and wonder. But what’s the biggest difference between you and a small 1st Century Roman Child? First, better teeth. Second, you will soon discover answers to Atlantis, while the small roman child died fighting a lion in front of all their friends and family, never knowing the truth about Plato’s mysterious island.
In Plato’s Dialogues “Timaeus” and “Critias” the Greek Philosopher shares the story of Atlantis, an ancient Utopian civilization founded by half Gods and half humans. An advanced civilization of connected islands and great military power, with cities of gold, silver, rarities, and exotic wildlife. Lost at sea for thousands of years, Atlantis is a myth coated in truth and treasures that many seek. While many have failed in the past, new technology has hooked more information on the lost world and researchers believe they have found where the lost city once was and insight into the ancient civilization that escaped its untimely demise. How the Atlantians became advanced may be uncertain, but evidence suggests that if Plato’s Island went by another name, the descendants of a once advanced society live among us today.
So strap on a life vest and set sail for Atlantis. If you don’t have a life vest by your side, you can use a pillow or a fat dog that looks like it can float. On our journey, we’ll find facts in the once perceived fiction or discover that Plato is history’s Greatest Prankster. I mean convincing everyone for thousands of years that there was an underwater ancient world of wonder would be a pretty good prank. Ashton Kutcher could never. Along our trek, if you meet a fish person, please remember to wash your hands afterward. They are dripping with salmonella.
