It is said that the Lost City of Atlantis was once an advanced civilization that .
Atlantis was described by ancient Greek philosopher, .
Plato, as " beautiful, and a wealthy island, governed by the precepts of Poseidon .
(Neptune)." (Encyclopedia Americana). Even though Plato was a great and well respected .
philosopher, his claims with no evidence pose questions, like for example: Did the Lost .
City of Atlantis really exists? Or was he just under the influence? And ect .
.
There is plenty of evidence supporting Plato's claims of Atlantis, but not from his .
time, no, this evidence was shown by modern technology. According to Brtitish Royal .
Air force Photo interpreter J. M. Allen " Atlantis is in Atiplano, near the Andes .
mountains, in Bolivia." (kidzwerld.com). Sure that's some evidence, but it is not enough. .
A famous psychic chandler Edgar Cayce believes that the remains lay deep within the .
coast Florida, near Bimini Island. Other people believe that it lays somewhere in Central .
America, the China Sea, or Africa, according to kidzwerld.com. Also Plato stated that .
"Atlantis was a large island in the Atlantic Ocean, West of the Pillars of Hercules." .
(Academic American Encyclopedia). Clearly everyone had his or her own opinion on where .
Atlantis once ruled the seas.
Anyway, if the city of Atlantis was really located near the Pillars of Hercules, then .
that would mean that Plato enjoyed traveling, which he did not. (kidzwerld.com). Plato .
wrote of Atlantians as if he knew them and how they were. He described them as .
" Great engineers and architects." Plato also described their habitat, "There were .
palaces, harbors, temples and docks. The capitol was built on a hill and surrounded by .
rings of water that were joined by tunnels large enough for a ship to sail through. A .
huge canal connected the outer rings of water to the ocean. On the outskirts of the city .
there were fields miles long were farmers grew the city's food.
