[A] However, the culture of Atlantis began to decay. Plato recounts that the people changed their law-respecting way of life. They began to disregard their religion, gradually living with less restraint and piety. They began to value luxuries, wealth, and idleness. Then in one day and one night the continent was completely destroyed. Plato concludes that a decadent society deserved such punishment. But two questions remain unanswered. Where was Atlantis, and where did it go?
[B] This story intrigues people so much that many have been searching for the explanation of the "lost continent" for 23 centuries. There are three probable locations for Atlantis:the Azores, in the Atlantic Ocean; the Bimini Islands, in the Caribbean Sea; and Santorini, or Kalliste, in the Aegean Sea. Several facts make the Azores a possible location. In the Azores and near Iceland there have been many volcanic islands that have risen from the sea and then disappeared later. Also, Plato was sure that Atlantis was in the Atlantic, as the name implies. The theory that Atlantis was in the Azores has only recently been refuted.
[C] The Greek philosopher Plato is the primary source for the legend of Atlantis. His description of the "lost continent" still excites the modern mind. Plato’s Atlantis was a kind of paradise—a vast island "larger than Libya and Asia put together"—with magnificent mountain ranges, green plains that were full of every variety of animal, and luxuriant gardens where the fruit was "fair and wondrous and in infinite abundance." The earth was rich with precious metals, especially the one prized most highly by the ancients, orichalc, an alloy of copper, perhaps brass.
[D] The second credible possibility for Atlantis is in the Bahamas, in the Biminis. In 1958 some strange structures were noticed on the seabed under the water. Curious geometric structures— regular polygons, circles, triangles, rectangles, and completely straight lines—extend over several miles. A giant "wall" several hundred yards long was found submerged in the waters off the small island of North Bimini. The wall has two branches, running at right angles, in perfectly straight lines. The construction, which is precisely perpendicular, is made of massive stone blocks over 16 feet square. Part of the structure even resembles a harbor with a dock for boats. The geology of the Bahamas shows, however, that the submersion of the plateau had been caused by the melting of the polar glaciers that raised the level of the world’ s oceans. This diminishes the possibility that Atlantis was in the Caribbean Sea. There were no violent eruptions, merely the slowly rising ocean from approximately 8,000 to 7,000 B.C..
[E] The capital of Atlantis was beautifully constructed in white, black, and red stone. The city was carefully planned in five zones built in perfect concentric circles. Each circular zone was built inside a larger one. Plato says that the capital’s canals and its nearby port were "full of vessels and merchants coming from all parts, who kept up din and clatter night and day." The city was full of life, activity and culture.
[F] The last reasonable possibility to date is that Atlantis was located in the Aegean, not far from Crete. However, this assumption cannot be proved beyond doubt, and the disappearance of Atlantis remains a lasting mystery.
[G] Thirty-five hundred years ago, a tremendous explosion blew apart an island and completely destroyed a civilization called Atlantis. Where was Atlantis? What kind of people lived there? Why and how was it destroyed? No one knows the answers to these questions, but there have been hundreds of guesses and theories.
