2. Introduction This is a summary of the theories about what happened to Atlantis. Atlantis was a legendary island that was first recorded by the philosopher Plato and most of our understandings of Atlantis comes from Plato. It was a peaceful place that had a very advanced society. It was in some way a civilization of its own. It even had it’s own language. According to Greek mythology Zeus became angry with theAtlanteansso he began to destroy their home land. He swallowed their whole island by the sea. People continued to believe that it is still to this day an under water city. According to scientists Atlantis might actually have been Crete. No one really knows the truth behind Atlantis.
3. Could Atlantis be Crete? Some people speculate that the island of Crete was in fact Atlantis. Before 1500 BC Crete was the center or seat of the Minoan Empire. Some people say that the Minoan culture was one of the most sophisticated cultures of it’s time (just as people think that Atlantis was a very sophisticated culture) . Amazing architecture sprung up all around Crete and some amazing art pieces were created, but coincidentally the Minoan civilization vanished in a blink of an eye. Studies have shown that on a near island by Santorinas, a great disaster occurred that was very capable of toppling the Minoan state. In the twenty-first century Santorinas was a very lush paradise, but twenty-five hundred years ago it was a single large island with a volcano in the middle of it. The volcano blew it self up around 1500 BC. Coincidentally what is known about the Atlantis story is much of what we know today about Crete.
4. Did Zeus Destroy Atlantis? There are lots of myths as to what happened to Atlantis. Many people think it was up swallowed by the sea, some think of a volcano eruption. Others think it was a big wave that took it down. The rest just think it was a myth and it never was real. Then there were some that thought it disappeared into the sea and now think its a under water palace. The real question was it real and if so, how was it destroyed! I will tell you what happened according to Greek mythology!According to Greek mythology Atlantis was a beautiful place with happiness and lots of people, herbs and fruit. It also had many animals and other things. You could say it was a heaven on earth. The people and the economy on that island were very happy and successful and so the Gods got jealous. Especially Zeus. In fact, the Greek culture says that Atlantis was destroyed because of Zeus. Zeus wanted the island gone so he gathered the other gods and sent a punishment to Atlantis. After this the punishment made Atlantis get swallowed up by the sea.
