The document discusses various theories about the lost continent of Atlantis. It was first mentioned in Plato's dialogues, where he hypothesized the existence of an island continent beyond the Strait of Gibraltar that was larger than Africa and Asia combined. While Plato claimed it existed 9,500 years before his writing, Aristotle denied its existence. Numerous hypotheses have been proposed over the centuries about its location and fate, though most scholars today agree that Plato's account was likely fictional rather than historical.

1. ALTLANTIS
Natalia Arias Chamorro

2. • The firs time that atlantis exist in our records is in some
dialogues from Platón, since then raises the hypothesis
of the existence or not of this "continent"
•
It is a mystery because from Platon account, not very
large indeed, have created thousands of hypotheses
that defend and attack this story in order to create
controversy or to explain other phenomena in the
earth.

4. • Aristóteles while being pupil of Platón denied its
existence.
• It was located west of the Strait of Gibraltar, an island
larger than Africa and Asia combined.
• The cataclysm occurred, according to Platon, 9500
years before he writing such things.
• It has held up by aliens
• This empire has disappeared in the middle of the
Atlantic, Indian, British Isles, France, the Canary
Islands, Cuba, Yucatan, in the Andes, in Arabia,
Greenland and Antarctica, among other places

6. The best hypothesis continent talks about this, says
it was the cradle of a civilization rich in minerals like
gold and silver and also was highly developed in
every way, putting the other continents their
descendants. They had kings, as the story had built
temples, palaces, ports and shipyards, and enslaved
some of its neighbors. When you set out to conquer
the eastern Mediterranean, were defeated by
Athens and an earthquake and a flood submerged
the island continent in the ocean in a day and night.

8. • Any continent or island of dimensions as
described could have been submerged or
flooded leaving evidence of it
• Is probably that it had been confused by
Platon, with another island or country that in
really exist
• Is interesting and funny how the text of
Platon, mounts of centuries later, had caused
a lot s of controversies
