Atlantis, Fact or Ho#

The island near ancient Greece known as Santorini was once known as Thera Island. The people who live there are very skilled traders, who take advantage of their geographical position close to three continents.

Many wild theories circulate about Atlantis. That makes sense to the unacceptable reason.

Those who believe are convinced, Atlantis is in the Bermuda Triangle - although in its dialogue 'Timaeus and Critias' Plato did not mention the location.

There is also a believer, Atlantis until now still sustainable, protected the dome in water.

Historian, Bettany Hughes investigates the ancient myth of Atlantis. He argues, Plato might get an idea from somewhere.

No wonder, they are very rich and prosperous. Unfortunately, Theran residents do not know they live just above the volcano.

The mountain erupted in 1620 BC, the explosion was large enough that its impact was felt almost all over the world. Plato was almost certain to know about it.

The beautiful Thera was devastated. The debris and its contents are preserved by ash, much like what happened to Pompeii. The story of his destruction may have been Plato's inspiration.

Throughout human history, it is difficult to ascertain how many civilizations or big cities perished overnight by natural disasters.
