ATLANTIS the lost continent
Start
Atlantis was a kind of paradise
wanderful gardens, plenty of fruit
all kinds of animals
green plains
beautiful mountains
Plato - Greek philosopher, he described a prosperous continent with high learning and culture
No more Atlantis
Volcanic explosion
Island disappeared beneath the waves of the ocean
Plato thought that the people of Atlantis had deserved such an end because they had changed their lifestyle
Changes
the people no longer lived a law-respecting life
the people were interested in being rich and having fun
the culture changed
Capital of Atlantis
city was full of life, activity and culture
well organizired and planned
the people were hardworking and religious
beatifully constructed in white, black and red stone
they respected the law
What's true
some Greeks thought Plato had invented the whole story just to teach them a lesson
two questions without answers: where was Antlantis and were did it go?
for thousands of years Plato's story was the only one
Several theories
Atlantis was in the Bahamas, deep-sea diver found the ruins of some ancient buildings in that area
Atlantis was in the Mediterranean near island of Crete, a long time ago there was a big volcanic eruption and result was a circle of little islands
Plato belived that Antlantis was in the Atlantic ocean, this area was well known for volcanic activity, Plato and some scientists believe that this islands are the tops of mountains on Atlantis
None of the theories can really be proved, the mistery of the lost continent
remains unsolwed
Civilizations
an American named Donnelly wrote a book about Atlantis, he belived that all the civilizations came from Atlantis
the survivors came to Amerika and to Egypt; Indian cultures - Mayas and Incas developed from the civilization of Atlantis
